Here's an English language translation of part of a statement by former PAD leader, Sondhi Limthongkul, calling for the dissolving of parliament and the temporary return of what amounts to the absolute monarchy in Thailand:

"We cannot fix our country with the parliamentary system. The parliament cannot fix the problem of the country.

If I was prime minister I would arrange for the Speaker of the Senate, the Chairman of the Constitutional Court, the Chairman of the Supreme Court, the Chaiman of the (Supreme) Administrative Court to go report to the King about the situation and ask for his permission to resign and give (their) powers back to the King, dissolve the parliament and then resign (myself?).

That would create a vacuum and there wouldn’t be a parliament or members of parliament. Power would be returned to the King so he could decide who should be called upon to manage these issues. For a period of three years this would free the country to reform the political system, reform the police, bring everything to good order. Yes, that’s what should be done."

I think the man has either lost his marbles or he is so desperate to get a royal pardon for his crimes that he will say and do anything that he thinks will curry royal favor.
