Mr Meeseeks

They will never ban pick-ups here.

Peshed or high as a kite most likely.

I pray this is true for the survival of the planet. In 20 million years the next intelligent species will have evidence of our failure, and thus use it not to make the same mistakes.

Let's not forget the possible culpability of the minivan.

As a company owner, manager, and former step-father, this is true.

No it isn’t. Source: the Thai government ministry that gave us the commercial growing and sales licenses for flower. ????‍♂️

That infographic contains incorrect information. Only extracts with more than 0.2% THC are illegal, as they are still on the narcotics list. You can grow and possess flower with any THC content. Source: the Thai ministry that gave us a commercial grow and sales licenses.

It’s not a narcotic. Cannabis flower was completely removed from the narcotics list in June last year.

And some people still think they are something other than just an organised criminal gang in uniform. ????

What else can he say at this point? ????

I wouldn’t be so sure. A former boss of mine (a Kiwi with ties to Thailand) told me he was terminally ill, so I would continue to manage his company in Thailand and do his bidding. He was nothing but a manipulator and conman. Unfortunately in this World, there exist people that have no ethics nor morals whatsoever, and Thai politics is full of them.

Wait until they get the 10,000thb in crypto ???? People are fickle.

The mafia gang gang in brown is being outed again! If they are not torturing people in custody or hiring themselves out as hitmen, they are busy shooting each other at the behest of the village headmen. What a country!

Hang on, isn’t he affiliated with the group nicknamed the ‘Buriram Mafia’?

That's a long, long time ago. Having driven here for 33 years and based on more relevant, current experiences the Thais are without doubt, terrible drivers. Why should I change my opinion based on the clear evidence I see daily?

Why do the people who you claim 'understand Thaksin', seem to be completely obsessed by him, and have made thousands of posts about him, over the period of many years, even decades? ???? More importantly, why are their arguments always emotional and opinionated, rather than factual, logical and evidence-based?

You don't seem to understand that even if the cases and evidence had merit, due to him being removed in a coup then any subsequent legal proceedings will be regarded as politically motivated, and rightly so. To suggest that the courts acted impartially or without bias would be absolutely ridiculous, as the junta appointed the panels and committees to 'find' evidence against him. Most notably was the Assets Examination Committee (AEC), which disregarded witnesses and evidence only to charge Thaksin and freeze his accounts. According to the AEC Secretary the “evidence and witnesses are useless” and did not need to be taken into consideration. There were 300 witnesses and over 100 pieces of evidence which were ignored by the AEC. As to your allegation that Thaksin didn't mention fake evidence, thus it must have merit, he pleaded not guilty and had plenty of evidence to support his cases. See the above example.

Just popping in on this thread to see how the Thaksin obsessives are handling the current situation. Not too well it seems. ????

He was already a billionaire before he became PM. He had no need to use his position to get richer. Not to mention, nearly every Thai uses their position to enrich themselves.

Could have been anyone driving the pick-up chasing him, not necessarily a Thai.

According to the article he was being chased by a pick-up. Maybe he was distraught as his life was being threatened?

That would mean a big 'loss of face' so not going to happen.

If a Thai told me the sky was blue, I would look outside to check. So little trust I have in them after 33 years doing business with them here.

Better than Cambodia, Burma, and Laos. Go Thailand!

The equipment may be junk, but it is the commissions that are important here. Indeed. What a typically Thai debacle that was.
