Rumour central
The government ordered the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand to lend it 10 billion baht. Airports of Thailand has so much excess cash it decide to lavish it on government bonds to pay rice farmers. The army supplied "Men in black" and had troops fire on police trying to retake Phan Fah Bridge from protesters-and killed Pol Snr Sgt Maj Pianchai Parawat. And if these all arose from grains of truth, there were as many as 11 farmer suicides. That, too, became a matter of politics.
