MILLIONS of Thais wrote a new chapter in Thailand's 73 years of democracy when they voted last week for the Thai Rak Thai party, which made history as an elected government to win a second term in what is billed as the Thaksin 2 administration. 

Official results are expected only on Feb 25 but the writing is on the wall that the Thai Rak Thai (TRT) party has won 376 out of 500 seats at stake.
