Why didn't Thaksin just agree to break with Vajiralongkorn after like the 3rd time one of his governments was toppled?

Also, how come a majority of Thais like Thaksin if they hate his buddy Vajiralongkorn?

Why do all the rank and file Yellow shirts get so worked up though? If it's really about the monarchy, why don't they just say it?

Okay, so the Yellow Shirts are legitimate right-wing blowhards. Got it.

So the military is acting on behalf of the Crown Prince now?

Wait a minute, are these people who were arrested linked to the Crown Prince or to his sister?

If they're actually linked to the Crown Prince/Thaksin, it makes totally sense and isn't really surprising at all. It's either business as usual OR, as you suggest, maybe the Crown Prince has turned on his own former supporters.

At first I thought you said these people were linked to the king's daughter though.

Who got custody of Chief Air Marshal Foo Foo? That's really the pressing matter.

Since Western governments like so much to complain about attacks on press freedom in foreign countries, why are they so mute about that oppressive law?

The US media rarely talks about foreign nations at all.

I wonder if we could see a split between the two Shinawatras.
