DRIVING past the Stock Exchange of Thailand, you never know what you might see. A few months ago, orange-robed Buddhist monks were protesting against the planned listing of Thai Beverages, the country’s biggest brewer and distiller. More recently, left-wing activists marched against the partial privatisation, through a public offering, of Egat, the state-owned electricity monopoly. Indeed, these days, demonstrators seem more interested in Thai stocks than investors are. [Emphaisis added.]
Not “civic groups”? Not consumer-rights advocates? There may be hope for the international media after all.
Next time, try “populist reactionaries”.
PS The post about the king’s speech will have to be longer than this, so it’ll have to wait.

You won’t like this, Tom. From the Financial Times in London…Thaksin, and the dreaded ‘P’ (populist) word.

Now, listed companies in Thailnd need an executive handbook for disclosing information
I find this interesting; shouldn’t this handbook be produced ages ago?
