Thaksin should do a victory lap around Ratchaprasong

Re: Thaksin welcomed like the Dalai Lama, Letters, May 2, 2012.
I’d rather agree with Somsak Pola that Thaksin Shinawatra and the Dalai Lama are similar in the sense that they are welcomed elsewhere in the world but their own countries. That is a true fact.
Anyway, for Somsak Pola to top it off in his praise for Thaksin, he should invite the former prime minister – upon his return to Thailand next time around – to troll unescorted at Ratchaprasong shopping centre for once: Call it a victory walk if you will.
During one of his rousing phone-in speeches in April 2010, Thaksin assured the businesspeople in Ratchaprasong, that the red shirts who were protesting there would never do any harm whatsoever to their property or business.
I think the folks there are eagerly waiting to thank Thaksin personally for that.
