It's going to affect the ability of Thaksin to govern, and businesses will factor this into account. Investments that require a stable climate will be delayed...

The “messy kid” reminds us that it’s alright to relax and take a break from the intense Harvard atmosphere once in a while. Also, when you’re hungry late at night, with...
