Let's continue with the crackdowns
There was nothing else which Mr Thaksin and his beloved TRT buddies enjoyed more - than a good-old crackdown! During his years in power, we had crackdowns on 'minor-wives', 'bogus monks', 'Back-alley Farang English teachers', 'mini-skirt university outfits', 'Indian loan sharks', 'saucy on-line games' 'excessive alcohol consumption', 'child beggars' and not forgetting the legendary 'Bangkok stray dog'. How seriously these crackdowns were actually taken however, is a story for another day!
