Step 2 for the favored few. Step one was to set up Red Shirt Communities. Now they have their base of people and they are separated from the government that they help get elected. I hope step 3 ain't more ROCKET LAUNCHERS. Lets just say their version of reconcilation is you do it the Red Shirt way or else.............................................

Talk the talk, or walk the walk?

Wake up, your dreaming

"I believe that banks will not pass the cost on to depositors or borrowers by dropping deposit rates or raising loan rates, because of the higher premiums," he said.

Another delusional finance minister...of course banks will pass on the costs...

"You got that right, sure, got that right"

As a public service I'd like to remind or educate people on what "reconciliation" means to Thaksin and his Red Shirts, it means: we do things our way and you shut up, or else...

That's the problem. In a country of over 60 million, 1 million or so want everything and everybody else to get nothing.

You can always tell when Taksin is feeding out B.S. He is either talking or typing. Other than that he is truthful about everything.

That article is like an invitation.

Ain't it though!

I think he is spot on with his comments.... apparently terrorists scoping out places in Pattaya were fined 3000B for a cigarette butt throw down, then got scammed by jetski operators.. picked up by local police for a tea money shakedown, almost run over by the golden man cyclist ( twice) and then mistakenly invited LB's back to their room and the inevitable ensuing cat fight.

Most places they went they couldn't be understood as everything was in Russian, the gogo's they went into had women even fatter and uglier than the ones they have back home and then to top it off went to the look out above Pattaya and got bitten by the pack of dogs that have taken up residence there.

In a coded message back to HQ the terrorist claimed Pattaya should be taken off the list as its already hell there .

Spot on

I guess this guy has a direct line to all the terrorist organizations, so the embassies can just call on him for their info now. In Pattaya the Tourist Police are worse than the Boys In Brown. It's embarressing to watch these falangs "Strut Their Stuff" every night.

Now theres news. I will never own a product with a rotten apple on it.

Paragraph 2 of Article 21 of the directive on passport issuance of BE 2548 prohibits issuance of passport to anyone against whom there is an arrest warrant. The Democrats say there are arrest warrants against Thaksin in a terrorism case and five other cases.

Paragraph 3 of Article 21 of the same directive prohibits the issuing of a passport to a person ordered by the court not to leave the country.

Good to see the specifics of the law finally laid out during this long-standing issue.

They seem extremely straight-forward and the actions of Yingluck's government clearly violated them.

Quite ironically Interesting to see that these rules were signed into effect during the Thaksin regime.

It's reminiscent of another law he signed into effect regarding the return of royally bestowed medals, which three years after he said he would comply with the law, has failed to do so.

.

Rules/Laws are made for the poor and non-politico's in this country. They just do what they want when they want to do it. And if you don't like it leave. Didn't you knw that Thailand is for Thai's?

Rights reputation?

And what reputation would this be?

Rights? Even Thai's have no rights with this government. And that is what the reputation of this government. BAD

Yeap I anxiously await the anti Americans who are going to comment about how the American embassy is crying wolf by issuing the warning.

Yep, me too. No terrorist plot on the first link and then this about 5 links down. Chalerm"There is no plot, OH you mean that plot"??????????

Mafia, what here, in Thailand

.

No, not here!!!! here it is called the POLICE

He appears to have also seen that Yingluck is in no position to bring about an amnesty for him. If and when an opportunity arises to untangle his legal issues, he will have to make a tough decision on whether to keep his sister in the position of prime minister, or to replace her with someone who can resolve the amnesty issue.

Will Thaksin return?

Some wonder whether the former Thai PM really needs to come back, as he shows signs of being able to run the government perfectly well from abroad.

He has a grip over appointments to the cabinet and he sends an incessant stream of advice to ministers and members of parliament.

Taksin by proxy?

The reality is she had no choice.

To show up would have also shown her up for the bumbling buffoon she is.

She might even have cried and been forced to say give me time.

+1

why can they denies the scams when they are working on the biggest scam which is bringing the master scammer back

Force-closing the venue for 6 months might be the biggest punishment handed out in this case...atleast it will hurt the owner a bit for hiring thugs as staff.

It's very necessary to have thugs on staff when you're located in an area run by thugs, so many of your customers are thugs etc.

It's entirely possible in such a high-profile case that something totally different took place and these guys are just being paid well to take the rap and will be free to go once everything dies down. Or not, but for sure no one on the outside can be completely sure of the truth.

Get a bigger gun. That's so stupid I don't know what to say. No wonder you don't live in your own country. You would be in Jail.

They can consult with the USA, they know how to print money at extreme fast rates. I guess the Thai Baht will race the US $ to the bottom

Boy you hit the nail on the head with that statement. The baht will get weaker if the BOT is forced to print money. But so will your buying power, so nobody wins. Amazing Thailand, just borrow from the US. They have printed 5 trillion in 3 years and see what it's done for them.

Wake up, your dreaming

Of course, Thaksin would be under house arrest at home with telephones, computers, all sorts of communication devices and comforts; and also a balcony so he can speak to all of his supporters every day.

He would pay the Police to let him sneak out in a car to meet people "secretly". At least Sanoh realizes that Thaksin can't come back without going to prison or else all Hell will be let loose.

The rich help the rich. That's the way it is everywhere. No matter the promises, she hand his cronies have already gotten what they wanted. If they can get more, what the hell!

The NACC said that he shouldn't be charged. But a political party has reached a consensus that he should be. Is Yongyuth the prosecutor? Does that mean that Apirak has been charged, or are the PTP going to instruct the someone else to charge him.

Yuttapong added that former Bangkok Governor Apiruk Kosayothin may claim in the Supreme Court that he is innocent of graft and blasted the Pheu Thai government instead.

Did Yuttapong [a Pheu Thai MP] blast the Pheu Thai government?

It was the governments fault. Wrong priorities. And this guy was no more incompetent than the present government.

Which leads to the conclusion that the Thai electorate prefer the Shinawatras to the alternative. Even if (as some assert) she is an airhead, who can't speak coherently, won't engage Abhisit in a TV debate, trawl this forum for all the other claims.....

Doesn't say much about the alternative!

Listen to both of you. This is no more a democracy than North Korea. She is an Airhead. And the flood would have been much less if they started to do the necessary when Chaing Mai flooded instead of worrying about big brothers passport. The flood was a PTP screw up because they started to think about the Thai people too late. I believe that getting Taksin back is the only thing we may see from this government that was promised in the campaign. Yingluck may have never said it but plenty of the now cabinet members did.

Are the police getting better or worse in Thailand?

Worse

What a load of crap. You issued his passport because you're in his payroll and are beholden to him.

What a brainless piece of crap... <deleted>? + N

Spot on, that's what THEY are.

Drugs and Music?

Rolling Stones

Beatles

David Bowie

Elvis Presley

Elton John

etc etc etc

And if they didn't die first they are all better sober than messed up on drugs. Other not straight bands like Rush and Areosmith know about being straight as well. You don't have to get high or drunk to write good/great music.
