I would like to thank Asia Sentinel and John Berthelsen for giving me this opportunity to contribute to such a fine website and hope that it is a fruitful and enjoyable union. I'll be attempting to bring you exclusives, opinions and interviews over the next months that will provide a balance to what's on offer via the other English-language sources on Thai politics - most of which, in my opinion, tend towards the supine and the hackneyed.

So, in short, watch this space?
