In Thailand, the rage stems from the perceived neglect of the rural poor by the ruling class, backed by big business, the army, and the king. The populist billionaire and former Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, appeared to be different.
在泰国，广大穷人的愤怒来源于长期受到统治阶级的忽视，这些统治阶层包括商界，军界和国王。民粹主义者的亿万富翁，泰国前总理他信看起来就大不相同。他利用自身巨额财富布施于农村地区。受到恩惠的农民们感激于他的慷慨，两次将他推向总理宝座。
