Another one of those enlightened, middle-class friend of Democracy™ in today’s Bangkok Post:

Amornrat Wongsaenganan, 39, an office worker, said she will switch to DTAC next week. ”AIS is no longer a Thai firm, so there’s no reason for me to patronise it.”

But the reporting doesn’t nearly do justice to her wisdom. I would’ve rewritten it so:

“AIS is no longer a Thai firm,” said Amornrat Wongsaenganan, a 39-year-old office worker, “so there’s no reason for me to be its customer.” She is switching to DTAC, a network in which Norway’s Telenor acquired a controlling stake last year.

Just a suggestion.

And by the way, what in the name of Joseph Pulitzer is this?

A major firm in the service sector is apparently switching from AIS to DTAC at the end of the month in what an executive said was a deliberate boycott of AIS rather than a move brought about by competitive incentives offered by DTAC.

Major firm in the service sector? Hey, the Post’s “US experts” of old turned out not to exist, but at least it sounded exciting!
