This is the worst movie ever. No wonder the cinemas struggle to sell tickets.

 

 

Might be because you don't like the Happy ending ....?

Is it not obvious what's going on? The "illness" is all part of the rehabilitation scam. The deal has already been done. Thaksin has only to spend a bit of time in the cooler for appearances' sake.

 

The military had only one option left open to them. Step 1 of that plan was to suppress MFP. Step 2 was getting in bed with Pheu Thai, which was so incredible it could only be in return for (Step 3) letting Thaksin back in.

 

Once the dust has settled, we'll see the deep state working to neutralise, for one concocted reason after another, the members of the alliance they don't like and wriggle back into something like full control.  It was the only option they had left open to them to retain some power. You have to admire their cunning, once again.

All party's needed each-other , MFP could not do anything without PT , and as PT is not against the Royal H. and MFP blocked themself with a Vote winning  112 ....but impossible to realize this  next decade ....

So PT was the "kingmaker"... and for a price ....

And the military could not loose Face  (we all know how Thais are touchy for that ) to reverse the kangaroo verdicts for Thaksin and Yingluck (next one to be aranged .....) they found this setting , as best  solution and in progress  now .

Politics .... you know  same as in all country's

(This just my personal view on it  )

is there any update from this article posted by KPMG in February 2023, placing Thailand on the grey list?

Maybe this link can get you the information needed .

You can see X Country to - X Country by search window

https://www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/country-by-country-exchange-relationships.htm

And on this Country listing  Thailand shows only 2023  but furt5her nothing as many other country's show some   V  marked .

Yes Thailand was dragging longtime his feet on it , that is why OECD was pushing them .....with little result and maybe many excuses on it ....

see this link the result  (many links on this OECD site for whatever you are vsearching ..... (beyond my knowledge is not deep to it ....)

And I thought he told us about 100 times that he doesn't have anything to do with politics anymore. He only wants to take care of his grandchildren. 

But then somehow there is a press conference at Pheu Thai headquarters about him. Strange.

There seem to be a lot of de facto bosses around. It makes it all seem a bit shady. Aren't there rules about convicted criminals becoming what I suppose could be called the de facto PM?

I think it depends if one is pardoned .....or got/ demanded  amnesty in the proven case of General Prayut ????

Reason,  the idea carry out selection of Prayut came from the big house why would he have to wait. 

Just like his return it was pre-planned, the delayed was due to plans not being finalized.  

Leaders here know majority of Thais have no critical thinking. Break it down in his years in exiled have anyone heard of all these health issue?   The give away " posture "  the constant reminder he will be treated like everyone without me listing anyone know of any inmate at any prison in the world get a physical that he gotten,  a helicopter ride and resides with a team of specialise at the royal hospital and suite. 

Personally I got nothing against the man he hasn't done anything to the Thai people that any other leader in the past or present won't be doing in some manner or form. 

This soap opera is Thailand politics 101. Deception.

A good post from you ????

Prayt had the Tanks ........

Thaksin has the money , the political backup ,the connections, the brains , and ......the love of a big % of the population , that gave him the opportunity's now .......

Don't know why you'd equate anti-Toxin people to such a thing...? How about being anti-corruption. Does it matter if it's this habitual liar or Prayut? And with both of them, a lot can be added on top of simple corruption. Mass murder sure is taken lightly around here....

The military influenced kangaroo court made some cases on him ...... but i did not see any about a mass murder .....

I too be sick if i all of the sudden i'll find myself locked in a cell being used to affluent life style, but not far is the day where the new PM of the same party of Thaksin will ask the king for a pardon, my guess is that this is already in the works and it's only a matter of time.

Yes !  i am sure , so best is to all Anti -T commentators just to swallow it ????.....it is decided on high levels ....political & some other i guess

One can really not make this theatre show up anymore. What is next, Thaksin pardon tomorrow? I give up on Thailand to ever change, but still better than WEF puppet countries.

Or you can see it as repairing an injustice done by a military coup (punishable by death sentence normally ...)????

of an elected prime minister and followed by a military influenced kangaroo court prosecuting....

So by this doings ,...those " culprits"  saving their faces now.....????

I was responding to a comment about Thaksin which mentioned the airport - and said that he pretended to open the airport even though it was closed again after his one flight of the day/weeks/months took off. And that he complained about signs there being in English. I'm happy that you like the airport. Now fly to Singapore and compare that airport to Swampy.

Same i was responding to a comment about Thaksin (yours)

That Singapore could be by the best , but i never had the opportunity to be there as moderate person ,and i only like direct flights to Thailand ......

i guess it is also nicer than many European and G.B. airports ,

anyway at that time T gave Thailand a nice arrival airport face ????

12 minutes ago, Bangkok Barry said:

I have no idea what that has to do with Thaksin. And it was the #2 airport, Gatwick. Moscow is now experiencing the same thing. I suppose they're an alternative to blame for flight delays, instead of the wrong kind of leaves on the runway 

my point was only to show  any slight thing can make an airport closing flights .......

And still i like Swampy as one of the nicest airports on world ...... build of course under Thaksin gov.

BTW you mentioned it in a Thaksin topic yourself.....????

26 minutes ago, Bangkok Barry said:

All true. And, when he officially 'opened' it on the date he had declared would be the opening day and to save face, his was the only flight as the airport wasn't ready. His flight to 'prove' the airport was open flew him to Don Muang. Possibly it was back to Swampy but I think not. When he toured the airport prior to 'opening' he asked why there were so many signs in English. There were also not enough toilets and those that were there were hidden out of sight by King Power shops.

And because, as you say, it was built to a 30 year old plan, it wasn't fit for purpose and they quickly had to reopen the airport they thought they didn't need anymore and persuade (read bribe) Air Asia to move all their facilities back to DM. Then there were the cracked runways...... But but but Swampy had the highest control tower in Asia. Even though one day the electrics in it went down and nothing could land or take off.

This reminds me only 1 drone made U.K.'s airport #1 closing  for hours flights ......????.......just comparing in case you would be a Brit  ????
