“I think if you know my background so I think in my family most of the people came from politicians, like my Dad, my sister, my brother, so in terms of understanding politics, I think – I believe I’ve had that since I was young. The only thing is that I never joined politics officially, but I think I understand. And I think right now, the country needs people to manage and to deliver policies to enhance the wealth of the country. So I think at this time the country needs that skill.”

“For the drugs, I think instead of counting how many people to handle it, we have to have a strategy with drugs, how we can make sure we follow it strictly. We will bring in the old paradigm and, as for people who take drugs, we think we have to take care of them and help them and educate them and help them return to normal society. As for people who sell the drugs, I think we have to have to take action and make sure it won’t happen again.”

“Democracy is not a new concept. Over the years, It has brought progress and hope to a lot of people. At the same time, many people have sacrificed their blood and lives in order to protect and build a democracy. A government of the people, by the people and for the people does not come without a price. Rights, liberties and the belief that all men and women are created equal have to be fought, and sadly, died for.”

“We should not overlook the fact that the political events in Thailand in the past few years reflect increased activism on the part of the Thai people, who have become more aware of the importance of politics to their lives and want to make their voices heard. The diversity of views being expressed by different groups shows that Thailand is a vibrant democracy and an open society. However, one cannot deny that political activism in the past few years has also been marred by violent incidents and a lack of compromise. While this is truly regrettable, it is perhaps part of the process of learning how to become a more mature democracy which Thailand has to go through. I am sure that democracy in Thailand will emerge stronger after this experience.”
