30014243-01.jpg According to Thai media outlet The Nation, couped Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is hanging out at his daughter’s student pad in Kensington (she is doing a master’s at LSE), on Marloes Road.

Although apparently just chilling in London as a ‘private citizen’, he still gets to use the cool ‘black Mercedes with the registration number THAI 1′.

I wonder what Thais would think about their ousted PM being welcomed in style in London…Metblogs Bangkok flags an interesting survey saying that 83% approved of the coup.

    I bet the figure is a LOT lower outside Bangkok.

    I’d like him to come home and face the music, then again I guess he can now give Tony and friends a nice donation and live in exile in the uk.

    Annoying to say the least!
