Associate Professor Pavin Chachavalpongpun gave a brief interview to AP on the current Thai crisis, emphasising that the anti-government protest movement is simply “a minority that is refusing to play the game of electoral politics and comes up with this discourse of village people being so uneducated they don’t know how to vote “But the reality is, these people (Thaksin supporters) are not stupid. They are politically conscious. They have become awakened.”
