Suporn Atthawong, who previously pledged to form a force of 200.000 warriors to fight against the protest movement, is retiring from politics. He says he wants to lead 'an ordinary life' again and to take good care of his mother and family.

He stated this on Thursday after he was released after a six-day detention. His 82-year-old mother, brother and other close relatives had come to the Suranee military base of the Second Army Corps in Muang (Nakhon Ratchasima) to greet him.

Suporn: 'Everyone should work together in an effort to solve the national crisis and prevent civil war. That is why I have decided to end my activities in civil actions and to give up my membership in the Pheu Thai party.'

    that turned quickly! First wanting to raise an army and start a civil war and now suddenly taking care of the old moemo and advising everyone to work together………..I think they made something very clear to him in those six days of imprisonment!

    Well, he has been quite intimidated in recent days or has been talked into (brainwashed?)
    I agree with the first sentence, but to also leave your political party ……… that raises questions. Do you contract a terrible disease, say leprosy, if you are of this party and you are put outside the city walls. The future will tell.

    Yes Rambo Isan has clearly chosen eggs for his money.
