Spirit of Democracy
- He would later get interviewed by Jom Petchpradab, where he
"I want to do something to tell those [leaders of CDR] that some people will resist. I want to make history that in this coup d'état, there's a taxi driver crashing his own taxi into the tank until he died, because, and I will be straight to you...

When a soldier come out to insult the people after the event that...
"Nobody have enough spirit that they will die for it" - Colonel Akara Thipharot
This is one of the reason that lead to a tragic event in October 31, 2006
