She must be one of the most good-looking Prime Ministers around. She shared the stage with Obama (on a visit to Thailand) and answered reporters' questions with aplomb in a press conference televised yesterday. I think she had a lot of sense too, in the way she answered them.
We are so used to getting advised by the West on what we should be doing. We need to kick this addiction, and start doing some thinking in this region ourselves. It might at least FEEL good.
That reminds me. I have classified a few things for their feel-good quotient or FGQ (Shinawatra's not in the list). Measured in time units- mins., hrs., etc.
Facial Cosmetics. FGQ- Until they run (down your face).
Shampoo. FGQ - 1 min.
Body Cream. FGQ- 1 hour
New car. FGQ- 1 month
New child (your own)- 5 years or until they make unreasonable demands, whichever is earlier.
New child (others')- Until it pees on your shirt.
Golf. FGQ- 3 hours
Movie. FGQ- 3 hours, unless it's made by Ram Gopal Varma.
Favourite music. FGQ- Many hours
Cricket. FGQ = Playing time minus all the commentary and pre-game crap time.

Inspite of a name like Yingluck I too had the same thought when I saw a rather grainy picture of said Thai holding a Vietnamese (somebody). I did not realize she is a PM. I think the Buddhists are on to something.
