you didn't need a referendum to tell you the opinion of the country on whether the new parliament building needs wood from thousands of teak logs from teak reforestation areas in the north.Even the general prime minister joined "Vote No" on this one.But to paraphrase the late Rev billy Sunday,if the people say one thing and parliament says another thing,to hell with the people.Former ombudsman Pornpetch Wichitcholchai,now Gen Prayut's president of the National Lagislative assembly,says a new,unbelievably expensive, incredibly late parliament building say hte whole'half-vast project has to be teak-lined and teak-inlaid and teak-floored and -ceilinged because of Thainess.
