Middle-class ironic electoral cultural practices in Thailand: observing the 2005 National Assembly Election and its aftermath pitch pongsawat

This chapter is the result of my involvement in the 2005 National Assembly Election in Thailand; as a voter, a political commentator for different public media television, an organizer of a project sponsored by the Election Commission of Thailand for the new voters, and as an audience of politics. In other words, my multiple roles in this election event can be treated as consuming, producing, and reproducing such an election event in particular and the national political structure, in general.
