Noppadon says his party has adopted "a less confrontational style." If so, nobody has told PPP pit bull Chalerm Yubamrung, who has publicly vowed to "execute" Thaksin's foes.

Chalerm, a former police captain and now a member of Defense Minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh's New Aspiration Party, has done miraculously well on a public servant's salary.
