Very well thought out and written.

One of the best posts that I have seen on here and it hits the nail on the head.

 

You could also have mentioned that the returning criminal in question also ordered a Banana Republic style extra judicial killing (murdering) spree, in order to tighten his grasp on power but I suppose that if you included all, you would still be typing by the time that his great grandson takes his turn at the trough.

 

 

 

 

Thanks,

I just don't get that some members reach fever pitch in their support for a convicted thief and criminal, and also a mass murderer.

From land deals to bribing judges, the guy is one of the most corrupt, the country has ever had, and is definitely only in it for himself and his family dynasty.

He ran the country as his own personal piggy bank.

Then, of course, there was the Thai government loan to sell his own family business telecommunications systems to Myanmar.

He even wanted to buy Manchester City with government funds.

I remember the extra judicial killings, and also the Americans telling him very forcefully through channels to stop it and take a different approach.

Serial petitioner Sonthiya Sawasdee claims that Thaksin, who was sentenced to a prison term for corruption, was also stripped of his police rank.

 

“It seems to me that Thaksin has no right to wear the white official uniform, usually worn by government officials at official functions,” he said.

 

According to the Royal Gazette, Thaksin was stripped of his police rank on September 8th, 2015 and had his royal decorations withdrawn on March 30th, 2016, because he was convicted of corruption by the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Political Office Holders. 

 

Moreover, he attempted to escape punishment by fleeing the country.

 

According to PM Office regulations, concerning political appointees, officials sentenced to a prison term are no longer permitted to wear the official uniform.

 here we go !!!!!!

He also holds no political rank or position, so should not be wearing the white uniform.

If you think this was well thought out and written i pity you,  it was full of opinions, misinformation and un substantiated facts

1   "On corruption charges", it was NOT Thaskin who tried to bribe a judge but his lawyer no proof he was under orders from Thaskin 

2 "convinces Srettha to employ the lawyer"  no proof this is an opinion

3 "report Srettha to the Ethics committee," again no proof  this is a guess at best

4 "He now installs his daughter as the new PM"  she was elected by MPs  no proof thaskin had anything to do with this 

5 "If all else fails, have a military coup" no evidence of a coup

6 "a convicted felon is dabbling in politics from jail." Thaskin is Not in jail

 

1. So you think the lawyer did this by himself?

When Thaksin said at the time, that they had taken the wrong box out of the car, he was supposed to have handed over chocolates. His words. So, of course, it was under orders from Thaksin.

2. Why would Sretta employ Thaksin's family lawyer after meeting Thaksin unless he was prompted / bullied into doing so?

3. It seems very strange that all of a sudden, very quickly after engaging Thaksin's family lawyer, he is reported to the Ethics committee. Yes, a guess, but an educated one.

4. Naive of you to say the least, that after a meeting at Thaksin's residence, attended by Anuntin and other high-flyers in the coalition, that it was agreed to support Thaksin's daughter to become PM. And off they went to tell their party members how to vote.

5. Make no mistake, and he is already receiving warnings from military members, that part of the agreement was that he returned to Thailand to spend time with his grandchildren and stay out of politics. His daughter is now going to extreme lengths to state he has no government position, and merely wishes to give her the benefit of his experience and fatherly advice.

Nobody is swallowing this garbage. They know him and his sneaky, corrupt ways. The guy can't lie straight in bed. If he continues on this path, the military will react, as they have done against two previous Shinawatra led governments.

6. Thaksin isn't in jail, he never was, that is why he was in a private wing at the Police hospital and getting regular visits from government members, just like he did in Dubai and Singapore.

You must be one of the most naive posters on this board, or blind not to be seeing this, he hasn't really made a concerted effort to hide it.

Footnote:

"The Shinawatras' gambit here is risky," said Nattabhorn Buamahakul, Managing Partner at government affairs consultancy, Vero Advocacy.

"It puts Thaksin's daughter in the crosshairs and a vulnerable position."

Tiitipol Phaddeewanich, a political scientist at Ubon Ratchathani University, believes this development is "a big bet for Thaksin".

"There is a possibility for her (Paetongtarn) to fail and that is a big risk for the entire Shinawatra dynasty," he said.

"If she can't bring the economy back and bring the party back then it could be the end because the People's Party is gaining more momentum after their dissolution."

Hope you're saving up the rental payments from Pee Thaksin cos he's living in your head.

"Royal pardon doesn't make him innocent". Hmm.... but an official "Certificate of Innocence" does though.

No, it doesn't.

It's a badly worded / translated form which allows him permission to travel outside Thailand.

To be declared innocent, the conviction would need to be quashed, and it has not been.

Why aren't you getting it, is it too much for you to take in?

Pee Thaksin, are you a dafty or what?

A certificate of innocence is essential because it is otherwise not clear to most Thais that Thaksin is innocent.  He should carry it with him all the time.

He's not innocent.

Where I live up in Kalasin, we have a lake in the centre of town and the local government has done a great job of putting a running / walking track all around the lake and floodlighting it with solar-powered spotlights. It's fabulous.

I love it when I get on one of my keep fit and doing five or six miles on the lake, it's just over a mile to do one full lap or circuit.

The big problem is there are houses dotted around the lake and of course dogs.

The STUPID owners actually smirk when the SNARLING AND BARKING dogs in packs of five or six chase us guys walking or running, so much so, that I stopped going.

I intend to start again soon and have bought a cattle prod online from Lazada. It delivers a shock but nothing too dangerous or severe.

I will be taking this with me when I start exercising again next week.

My guess is, he'll be showing up in Cambodia, Laos or Vietnam within weeks of being deported from Thailand to try the same scam he was involved in here.

That is what I was thinking.

He won't get much of a chance in Vietnam, they can be sticklers for rules and regulations plus it can be tough to stay there when not married to a Vietnamese or a legitimate business, (of course there are ways around it) They are on the ball in Vietnam, usually.

The country with the weakest government enforcement, and allows a lot of latitude, would be Cambodia, which also has plenty of elephants.

I hope he doesn't head there,

Cambodia doesn't need idiots like him.

Cops love taking their guns to the pub it seems . Not the first or last I'm sure to be drinking then shooting people in a bar.

Because of lack of accountability.

Your friend should give nothing, he didn't even like the guy.

If she was daft enough to get involved with an overweight, selfish, drunken lush, then it's her problem, not your friends.

There is no such thing as borrow to Thais, as soon as you bail them out of their predicament, they've forgotten you.

If you remind them they owe you money, they get angry at you having the cheek to ask for it back, what is rightfully yours.

YOUR FRIEND IS NOT THEIR BANKER.

Thais will always try the easiest route to get money, and in this instance, that is your mate.

You lend money, you lose that friend.

 " Jakkrit, an advisor to the Hua Hin Police Station, surrendered himself that same morning ..... "

 

does that mean his advisor job is terminated.  

I don't know, but we do know the sergeant has been terminated.

Yeah you're probably right but maybe someone got in trouble because I didn't take it, ha ha.

No,

I would have done the same as you and given it back. I don't doubt, some poor Thai would have ended up having their wages docked.

A possible chance it could have been detected that it went to you, although it would be difficult for them to prove.
