BANGKOK -- A billionaire who led his new party to unexpected wins in last month's general elections is rapidly becoming the symbol of the Thai pro-democracy movement, despite the ruling junta's efforts to curb the charismatic young firebrand.
Thanathorn Juangroongruankit, the 40-year-old leader of the progressive Future Forward Party, is facing mounting legal troubles and has been threatened verbally before and after the March 24 elections, the first in five years of military rule.
