In his annual birthday address to the nation on 4 December 2001, the Thai King adopted a sombre tone. He warned of ego and double standards, and national decline that threatened catastrophe. Prime Minister has a long face now after I mentioned catastrophe, said His Majesty. But I'm telling the truth, because whatever we do, there seems to be big problems. The Prime Minister may appear to be happy, but deep down inside he's definitely not.1 The King's remarks were a reminder that Prime Minister Dr Thaksin Shinawatra's bold promises to fix the economy and accelerate political reform had encountered serious obstacles. Royal views mirrored a decline in public support for the government, though by year's end most Thais remained willing to give Thaksin a little longer to make amends
