Has anyone noticed any difference in thier lives

Ya thanks Arjay, Well as for myself at first the idea of censorship bothered me and it was pretty strict at first, but I don't know if you noticed it or not but now, the opposition in the form of protest Ect, seem to be getting it's say. So that doesn't really bother me much anymore. Udon just seems like Udon to me, nothing different that effects me in any event. The trip last weekend I could not tell any difference in at all.

So I guess if there is a differene it's in poitics not day to day living, at least around my humble abode.

I think it is hard for the outside world ,so keyed on the word ''democracy'',to really understand that Thaksin had such a stranglehold on the country because of centralized wealth ,corruption and ignorance of the voters,that this was a democracy in name alone!Combine this with the possible volatility by the polarised masses,marshal law is the only thing keeping the peace until Thaksins lies can be exposed and the ignorant folk of Isaan can see for themselves that they were duped and conned!
