The Magnificent Seven isn't just a cowboy movie starring Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen, it's also a Thai soap opera. Follow me as I take you into this comical melodrama.
The goal is to rouse nationalistic fervour, have more people flock to the yellow banner and, at the very least, keep the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) movement, and hence the New Politics Party, ''in the game''.
Being in the game means being in the news, and at present, the magnificent (but directionless) seven are making all the headlines - yes, including the one for this article.
On Dec 29, seven Thais were detained for allegedly illegally entering Cambodian soil.
