In memorial of Uncle Nuam, a taxi driver who died for democracy

We'll run a few entries chronicling the recent death of Nuamtong Priwan, a taxi driver who killed himself in protest of the military coup on Oct.31 , just one month following an attempted suicide by ramming his taxi into a tank on Sep. 30.
