This might be if interest. I keep old newspapers.

If my memory serves me right, Taksin made billions by causing the Tom Yam Gung crisis in 97. Not sure if he was deputy PM to Barnhart or Big Jiu. Or maybe Finance Minister.

I know but many foreigners say it like Taksin, for example Saphan Taksin BTS station.

I agree with him.

FYI, the Bangkok Hilton is Baang Kwang, not Khlong Prem. BTW, years ago there was a prison called Taksin Prison, which was in Thonburi in the late 80s.

This is a special political Supreme Court, there can’t be an appeal.

A new American civil war is coming.

Like Trumps birthday message, it’s fake. Donald has stated it’s not his style and a forgery.

Qatar needs retaliatory strikes to show that nutcase Israeli leader he can’t do these illegal strikes.

Thailand was much better under Prayud.

I said the hospital has air conditioning. I visited my wife’s father there. Next time I’ll ask if I can take my phone in to take of photo of the air conditioner as some wise guy doesn’t believe me. If you think a billionaire with the influence of Taksin will be treated like normal prisoners you are deluded. If you think prison guards, earning less than 50,000 baht a month can’t be bought, again you are deluded. Do you know about Kamnam Poh? Talk about a know it all !!

If you believe a man of his wealth and influence will not get special treatment, you know zilch about the Thai prison system. As I said before, they have a large hospital floors with separate bays, where influential prisoners spend their time in air conditioned areas with access to internet.

There is a special unit in Khlong Prem for special prisoners. They paint the bars and even take in furniture and TVs, I’ve been inside visiting my father in law. Taksin will probably take over one of the hospital wings, which are air conditioned.

He cannot appeal. He will not get a royal pardon. He will stay in a special cell with prison guards serving him good food and allowing him special privileges, like internet, large TV, room for receiving guests at any time. Remember Kamnan Poh?
