I am sure the great king thought alot before he gave the thumb up for this gang. Even if he not gone one and told people that (he is clever). People just assume that this is the case and trust on that. They are still scared Thaksin will come and take over. He said before "i am leaving politics" and as a man in a box he jumps once more. He is not be trusted.
My friend's father works really closely with Thaksin (before). We hear about his moves before most people. I shall keep you posted
