Well, let's see now. What he said: 1. He kept on bleating from abroad about how he was ageing, and he desperately wanted to be with his grandchildren. 2. He said he wanted to remain outside politics, and he was too old to go back into politics. 3. He said he was in ill health and wanted to be with his family. What happened: 4. He returned to Thailand and was met like a VIP from his private jet. 5. He was whisked off to Klong Prem, where he made a flying visit to the Medical corrections' hospital, before it was deemed they were too ill-equipped to deal with him, and he was removed by helicopter to the Police hospital, where he took over a suite of rooms. 6. An appeal to the King was made, something that on average takes 3/4 years for a prisoner. He managed it in two weeks. 7. He had various visitors from government and family at any time of the day at the Police hospital. 8. He remained in the comfort of the Police hospital, (nobody knows if he was actually there as reporters and journalists and the public were not allowed to the floor where he was supposedly housed) until he was given permission to be at home under house arrest, whilst awaiting the King's amnesty on HM King's birthday. 9. He was photographed in a neck brace, in his swimming pool, and walking stick etc, all which magically disappeared after the Amnesty. 10. Various MPs and government ministers were seen entering and exiting his house. 11. He held a number of dinner get-togethers for high ranking officials. 12. Despite his claims of illness, he looked fine at Hun Sen's birthday party on August 5th, not a neck brace in sight. 13. He is now holding rallies and speeches, not bad for an ill man who wants to stay out of politics. 14. Conveniently, Srettha was found to have seriously breached the ethics code by appointing Thaksin's family lawyer to a cabinet position, and then somebody reported him, I wonder who? 15. His inexperienced daughter is now ensconced as the new PM And he is trying to make the public believe a deal wasn't pre-arranged and done with the military, the courts and others up the chain of command, who feared a group more than Thaksin, the Move Forward Party, who threatened to upset the status quo and drag Thailand into democracy and the 21st century. Pull the other one!

The above post sounds like a better explanation than just blaming weed.

If there is one thing that cheeses me off more than anything on this board is loudmouth people using the mantra ' blacklist and deport ' You do not know the full story, you have heard one side only, but you rush to judgement. Then you use generalisations and stereotypes to describe British tourists, which is wrong on every level. There are many decent, kind, hard-working, friendly and good British people in this country. Yet you wish to rubbish an entire race, based on circumstantial evidence and guesswork. Finally, get it through your skull, you have no power whatsoever to implement immigration policies regarding deportation and blacklisting. That is a matter for the relevant Thai authorities once they are in possession of all the facts. "Why can't we all just get along " your words. Well, it's a bit difficult and made even more so, with people like you rushing to judgement and spouting nonsense when not knowing the full facts.

Bring back the Apprentice reality show. Donald Mr Orange, liar Trump.............You're fired!

Will the courts accept Tesla shares for Trump's legal fees?😆

Trump is trying to make friends with anybody he thinks has a power base and wider influence. He and Musk hated each other until very recently. Watch this space, Kim Kardashian for Secretary of State. Trump clutching at straws.

No, that is when he really impressed and rose above the rabble. YNWA

Seems a nice guy to me!! YNWA.

Not so sure about that.

Cops scamming for freebies!

Everyone will sleep safe in their beds tonight, knowing she isn't at large to produce any more cooking videos. What a waste of police resources, do they really have nothing better to do?

Fortune favours the bald.

I believe in the here and now. The body is not designed to last forever, it wears out. Religion has been around about 3,000 years, the Earth has been here about 4.5 billion years. Makes you wonder how it managed for so long before religion. The truth is religion is man made, sometimes for power and to rule over others or keep them subservient, and sometimes because the human cannot accept that this is it and that's all and craves for an afterlife.

In your head, he's winning, we know he's whining!

We will see.

Take a chill pill, go have a beer! Let the keyboard recover from your tantrums. Come on, the DEMOCRATS......😆

She and the Democrats seem to be flying in the polls and are having a very successful party meeting. Unlike the orange man. His own nephew says he is displaying the same symptoms as his father did,.......early dementia.

She doesn't need to debate, she's miles ahead. Just allow Trump to do what he does best, make a fool of himself.

Bald, fat, sweaty, old and boring. And those are just his good points!

We had a house there back in the 2000s in Baan Permsiri., that we had built. A small, nice development a few hundred yards from the highway and near the Temple and railway track. We sold up a long time ago now, looks like I made the right decision. Your other point is correct too, they go there from Isaarn looking for work, promising to send money home to family, and usually kids the grandmothers are looking after, then it's booze, drugs, gambling and discos and forget the family.

Yeah, I was born in 1962, and I am 62. Mind you, if he came as a young man, (ex forces? Vietnam conflict? ) he could be early eighties to mid-eighties.

It's all irrelevant. The boy is in Sweden with his father, he was born in Sweden, he has a Swedish passport and Swedish citizenship. To all intents and purposes, as it stands, the boy is Swedish. You can quote whatever you like, but I think she has no chance of extracting that boy from Sweden, and he probably wouldn't want to go. The man must have been recognized as the legal father, otherwise, what is he doing in Sweden.
