Moving On To Bangkok Governor
So word has it that Khun Nattakorn Thewakul (apologies for butchering his name) is running for Bangkok Governor. I was never really surprised about this considering his dad was a politician and that the man himself sounded pretty knowledgeable about Thai politics and the economy. But I did think, “Gosh, he sure is getting his hands into everything!”
Though he might not be as popular in the entertainment and night life industries, I still think he’s a viable candidate. At least I’d prefer him over some old dinosaur crony of Samak’s any time.
Reported by the media, he’s been saying that he will crack down pretty hard on night life, especially in terms of prostitutions, as well as organizing and putting order back onto the streets of Thailand. I don’t really have a problem with this unless he starts closing up clubs at 10 PM.
Another tidbit - since I worked at Radio Thailand during the weekend before, we’d have this segment call the Stock Report during the afternoon news hour where we’d call him up and have him say a few things about the economy. I usually zone out when he begins rambling about stock and business news though.

this guy is so full of himself, he knows little about nothing and likes to hear himself talk.
he's just an extension of the dinosaurs that run this country and if he gets into power. it'll just be continuation of the same system
i agree that he's full of himself, but i still think he's no pushover. i also think that he's a pretty strong-minded individual.
in this day and age, i think that if there is anybody who might or could even put a slight change to the system or improve things around here, then that person would have my vote.
of course, i could be wrong. but i'm gonna wait and see who the other candidates are first before i vote.
