Back in Cabramatta

Refurbished

When I first visit Cabramatta six years ago, it was Moon Festival celebration. For the the first time in Sydney I felt I recognised crowded Asian punters, just like home.

Cabramatta has large Asian communities from Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. That gives a special character identified with Southeast Asian culture. This time it ramping up for Lunar New Year. Another celebration is on the way.

Thailand Election Map 2007-2009


Move your mouse over the image to see the 2009 map. (It is not too long to wait for the second image loaded.)

Move your mouse over to see the 2009 map

I cannot find any visual data on by-election in Thailand to compare with the election in 2007 so I have to do it myself. Because this election is the first test of the new Government led by the Democrat and pro-Thaksin protesters (red shirts) do not like it, it is interesting to see how the votes swing.

Even though the coalition gains some stability with 20 more seats in the parliament, the country still struggles to find the way to reconcile their stands. It seems divided into two and he change is just too small to get excited.

Disclaimer:

  • This is not an actual representative of data. I just simply estimate it.
  • This map is not weighted by the number of MP in each province. For instance, Bangkok would be the biggest in proportion with 39 members.
  • It does not take a genius why I use red to represent the PPP and Peua Thai Party but why not yellow for the Democrat. Because they both are different creatures. Besides their colour is blue.
  • The years represented in the map are in B.E.
  • I would love to go deep down to electorate level. Unfortunately, it is not going to happen without the full map of Thailand. I am not that nerdy.
