Election posters: Thaksin effigy
- February 3, 2005 Left: A Thaksin scarecrow left by anonymous persons at Saphan Kwai. The message reads: Stop the businesses that consume/profit from the country - On 6 February vote to retard them and to restore balance These kinds of accusations--that Thaksin's businesses have profited from his governance--have resulted in lawsuits against those who make the claims, so it is understandable that this messages is anonymous. UPDATE: A source informs us: The scarecrow was probably made by NGOs that oppose Thaksin--the last part of the slogan has been used by NGOs. In the last two weeks there was a seminar not to vote for Thaksin and they distributed similar green flags which said 'Do not vote for Thaksin.' That seminar was organized by many NGOs. |

Election posters: 201
- February 2, 2005 Left: Vote to reach 201 - In this country, people are not only the renters - Protect the country from being monopolized - Choose Democrats to reach 201 votes - Make a cross on No.4 in the second blank - No. 4 [This campaign, intended to preserve the opposition's ability to censure the government and the PM, has been much derided as indicating the Democrats are conceding the election. This would cause people to vote for the ruling TRT to make sure they were being represented by those in power--as opposed to an opposition that cannot do anything for them.] |
| Election posters: Election jokes
- February 2, 2005 We are not sure if this is real or not--it is going around by email. It makes a joke of TRT slogans and the party number for the Democrats. The poster on the left side is for TRT and reads: 4 years for repairing - 4 years for building - Let me serve people again. The poster on the right side is for the Democrats and reads: Vote for No. 4 - Democrat Party |

portrait - January 11, 2005
Thaksin's bold portrait poster (left). No words needed. It is also notable for its grin--last year's governor's race saw more and more candidates willing to sport a modern smile in their posters as opposed to the traditional emotionless or serious face. |
