Stephen Young on Thai Politics with Suthichai Yoon # 3

"Who had more อำมาตย์? Thaksin had more อำมาตย์. He is the man of อำมาตย์"

"The true meaning of บารมี is that you have some kind of good education, moral foundation, your past life you were a good person - Moral authority, moral legitimacy which is come from self controlled... and respect for others."

"The contributions of Gen. Prem in the 1980's. I think were very constructive."

"If Khun Prem hadn't done that when there was the crisis in 1991 and 1992 against Gen. Sujinda there would have been no middle class no... I think Gen. Sujinda thought he could win with the coup... and he was surprised."

"If Khun Thaksin come back, he should with all seriousness, he should put on the robe, he should become a monk, he should learn how to meditate... and he should learn Buddhism... and become a better person."

"...but if the pardon is being used as a part of a political campaign of intimidation and to claim that he's a victim then there is a question and I would may be just put it aside for awhile and wait and see hat would happen to the man... What kind of the man is he."

The word- Yoon doesn't mean that he is Korean.Common! He is Thai!!! Your comment is very ridiculous. I think you know about Thailand less than a taxi driver finally.

As living here in Thailand for years,from the way he talked,He really understood Thai politic very well i mean way lot better than some Thai people themselves.Even better than a So-called CNN reporters who migh knew much but showed less.

Agreed!!!

[ptanisaro]

One of the greatest interview about Thailand, I've ever heard!!

[TupBok]

Suthichai Yoon is a South Korean. He moved to Thailand to work as a spy for Japan. Go back to your country South Korea!

Stephen Young knows Thai politics at the level of taxi driver discussion. He has never had any degree on Thai politics. He belongs to the old generation of ignorance. I think he should shut up!
