BANGKOK -- Thai lawmaker Pita Limjaroenrat is warning ultraroyalist hard-liners that they will pay a heavy political price if they banish the pro-youth party he leads.
"I will make sure that the political cost of doing this will be higher than anything that has come before in Thailand," the 41-year-old said during an interview with Nikkei Asia, in his office. "As long as I am in charge, we will fight in terms of legality and legitimacy."
