Murder charge

Leader of the Opposition

The article contains nothing about Abhisit as leader of the opposition. Perhaps this article suggests a place to start.

PM was called a “stupid bitch” by the leader of the opposition

[F]emale Democrat Party MPs defended in parliament Mr. Abhisit’s ee-ngo remark that it was “not vulgar” and “not an insult” as the meaning of such an expression “depends on the context.”

Wiktionary link for Thai ee defines the term translated as "bitch" as a "derogatory prefix for certain terms pertaining to women or girls, or certain animals or farm machinery." Thai: โง่ (th) (ngôh) is included in the Wiktionary link for stupid under Translations show "lacking in intelligence".

I'm not suggesting the name-calling be included, but the “stupid bitch” article contains — and also links to — numerous salient issues related to leadership on both sides of the aisle, that do not necessarily call anyone “stupid.” —Pawyilee (talk) 06:56, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Name

"born Mark Abhisit Vejjajiva." I want to see a source that "Mark" was ever part of his legal name. Othwerwise I'll delete it. Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 13:19, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

pronunciation

The pronunciation voice seems to have a strong english accent. Maybe a Thai people can record it again. It's accurate but you can hear the english accent ... Maxcrc (talk) 23:01, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
