Ignorance is bliss, it seems. Were you in Bangkok in 2009 and 2010? Have you witnessed what really went on in the camps? Forgot about the red shirts killing soldiers near Khao San? Seh Daeng? And why, because that's the real question. Why were they mobilized by Thaksin? Do you understand what happened then? I doubt it.

He didn't mess up, he got exactly what was intended. An extra lock on the door, so to speak.

Not all foreigners are sipping drinks on Embassy lawns.

Every tree starts with just a seed. Give it time, the genie is out of the bottle.

How do you make ugly children? ................ dunno........................ Ask your parents.

Well, she is a kind of pretty. And for many people here that's the most important qualification, as I remember why Yingluck was chosen. Zero experience wasn't an issue at all.

So you agree with the overpricing of foreigners? How about foreign residents in Australia? Do they pay local or foreign?

Didn't the Japanese government donae an incinerator years ago?

Aka greed. Same for that mountain temple in Lampang.

Great argument. Who are you again?

Besides the murder of about 3,000 people in his war on drugs, there are still some critical human rights lawyers missing. The Tak Bai and Kru Se massacres also happened during his time as PM. Is this what you wanted to read?

There is hope!

Bit of an insult to claim that at least 50% of the people on this forum are narrow minded xenophobes, don't you think?

Well Einstein, maybe because this is a forum about Thailand and not about the rest of the world?

Do you even realize what you are saying? Tak Bai, War on drugs, and you ask for compassion? Big Pol Pot fan as well, I assume?

My Japanese friends pay thev ocal price, so white or black man's tax. Totally racist.

Pot calling kettle black? Are you part of the forum police btw?

I also live in the area, pay tax, have kids here, and still have to pay more than my wife.

I just love it every time we enter a National Park and I am singled out in front of my family and told to pay 5 or 10 times more. Makes me feel so welcome.

Sigh...... or you are trolling or your reading skills are not up to par. This topic is about Thaksin, not about Prayuth, Hun Sen, Kim, Suharto, Marcos, Donald Duck, etc.....

We are discussing Thaksin and not the other evil in this world. Don't try t deflect and derail this discussion.

2 wrongs dont make a right. Thaksin is a corrupt crook who robbed the country blind. Given his very serious human rights delicts, 12 years in the slammer is very mild.

Your right, thanks for that. I remember both brothers were present at the time.

This esteemed PT politician, an example for all, has quite a history I've heard. Rumour is he shot a policeman point blank in a bar in Bangkok.

This will force PT to show its true colors. Can Thaksin wait another 10 months?
