A maverick Thai general who has threatened to bomb anti-government protesters and drop snakes on them from helicopters has been reassigned as an aerobics teacher, the Bangkok Post said yesterday.
Major-general Khattiya Sawasdipol, a Rambo-esque anti-communist fighter, reacted with disappointment to his new role as a military instructor promoting public fitness at marketplaces.
"It is ridiculous to send me, a warrior, to dance at markets," he said. "The army chief wants me to be a presenter leading aerobics dancers. I have prepared one dance. It's called the throwing-a-hand-grenade dance," he said.
