"When he was "thrown from office at gunpoint" he wasn't even in the country!! Get your facts straight."

OK Tanks..there were tanks on the streets.

Have you noticed what has happened to Thailand since the coup?

I say, Thais were right when they re elected him.

Paid to vote?

Fact or speculation?

Please name the political party that doesn't do it then.

Don't tell me you read the local papers.

Local papers are privately owned and reflect opinions of their readers and advertisers, Thai print media is/was considered one of the freest in South East Asia.

Or do you mean we should read clueless ramblings of "international" reporters who can't order somtam if their lived dependent on it? What makes you think they know this country? What makes you trust their reports?

Uh just a guess......Thai reporters are under threat of 15 years prison for saying the wrong thing? No?

Wasn't he listed as Thailands richest man by Forbes long before he was PM?

No. It occurred later...

Thaksin could very well be Forbes #1 easily with $6.5 billion, which is almost double what Forbes says Chaleo has as #1 with $3.5 billion....

Government must hit Thaksin where it hurts most

Let's deal with the problems at hand and explore how we should deal with Thaksin to prevent his attempts to derail the new charter and cause other political troubles.

No doubt Thaksin is more than angry after the freezing of more than 65 Billion Baht of his assets. That's just peanuts, as we know that he has at least 200 Billion Baht *that would be the 6.5 Billion Dollars I was referring to that would easily make him Thailand's richest man* stashed abroad in various places, such as in savings accounts and investments in funds and securities through nominees here and abroad.

I was here in 2003 and Thailand's stock market (SET)went up 103% that year. Thaksin has several Companies listed so that would explain the wealth no? I don't think it was just his companies that did well. The entire nation prospered I recall.

It would be interesting to compare the average stock market returns with Thaksins Companies.

Did they really out perform the average or have we been fed a bunch of propaganda?

I think the root of the problem is the Bangkok people(wealthy) are racist and can't stand the country people(black) having an equal vote.

Yeah.

I have made all sorts of reasonable statements only to be completely ignored by Koo. She is so blind in love with Thaksin that even if he would kill her mother with his bare hands she would still defend his actions, and those of his red gang.

EVERYONE has seen just how peace-loving the reds are, right? It was on television around the entire world. Yet Koo keeps going on and on about what angels they really are, and of course, all that we saw on television weren't reds, they were just lookalikes. Yeah, my @ss.

Hey Koo, you and your "double standards", what about those that stole the buses and set them on fire, anyone in jail yet? Just how much cost one of the orange buses? Does it cost more than a common bathroom towel? Then please explain how come that a 79-year old lady in Pattaya spend several days in jail for allegedly stealing a towel (!) from a bar, even though another person actually confessed of having put it in the grandmother's handbag??

THAT's double standards.

The reds shut down a hotel for 30 minutes and blocked some intersections.

The yellows commandeered 2 airports and threatened to sabotage the water system, took over Government house, shot cops, kidnapped and paraded red shirt people thru their rally.

I don't support Thaksin but jobs were plentifull and the stock market soared when he was in office.

Just a coincidence Thailand has spiraled downhill ever since the coup?

Another subject I'd like to addres would get me banned.

Think about it.

I see, you don't, but everything was better then!

That he took advantage of his position, that he lied to the people,

to the courts, manipulated the judicial system, manipulated the

law to his advantage, through his lawyers tried to bribe court officials,

through the movement of shares within his family, he manipulated

the stock market, as prime minister he is responsible of the extra

judicial killings of nearly 3000 citizens of Thailand, the Kru Se Mosque

and the Tak Bai Incident where about a 100 people lost their lives and

caused the problem in the south to escalate.... and, and, and he is a fugitive on

the run!

If he is innocent as he claims, why doesn't he try to prove it?

get international media involved, foreign lawyers - it's possible

so why doesn't he prove his innocence in a court of law?

Why all these backstage dealings?

Why?

Because he's Mr.Clean?

Why has his entire Family decided to go abroad?

And YES, what a coincidence - just shortly before the Songkran riots!

Yeah' I see it is ALL a great conspiracy by the PAD - the Yellow Shirts -

the Elite and, oh' well Mr.Thaksin named them all already in public.

Why did the UK refused him a new visa?

Yes, he is innocent that why he is hiding and traveling on a Passport

from Montenegro.

There was a time the easiest Passport to get was a Yugoslavian one.

If I recall it right there was some arrests in the Sukhumvit area

, where hundreds of fake passports have been found

Well, well, well.... the innocent mob, which didn't incite any violence,

didn't interrupt the ASEAN Summit in Pattaya, didn't bring 3 Gas tank trucks

with intend to blow them up, didn't shoot 2 Anti-rioters, nope -

they all are horribly mistaken and being used by the elite, in a giant

smear campaign - oh yes!

Welcome to "The red Shirts in Wonderland" - Ladies and Gentlemen

the greatest show on earth!

....to be continued...

Where did you get that info?

Don't tell me you read the local papers. I know you're not that gullible.

I'm curious about the remark "he manipulated the stock market".

I do remember him listing his companies in the early 90s, launching satellites, information services, real estate.

Wasn't he listed as Thailands richest man by Forbes long before he was PM?

Yeah.

Think about it.

I'd rather support the reds than the team that has the "no talking" rule.

I was told, luggage carts at many airports are provided free in exchange for the advertising space.

Why do Bangkok's Airport carts cost more than a new Honda Motorbike and where are they now.

Sounds to me like Tony Soprano is running the place.

Bullys Pub, near JW Marriotts, Soi 2 has been serving up some excellent burgers in a nice atmosphere. I say they are currently tops in the burger war.

The owner runs a tight ship I've noticed and I see his following has been growing, so give him a try.

JW Marriott, next door also plates up a juicy burger in the coffee shop along with some excellent sandwiches.

Stay married. That way you don't have to give her squat.

No Thanks.

OK. Then give her the 10 k.

Jay.

Ask for jay.

Example.

Pad Thai Jay.

Not spicy?

Ask for mi pet.

A Malaysian Ambassador needs to get the Thai Prime Minister involved with baggage trolly difficulties?

The mind bogles.

I tried to get it replaced but as you say...TIT.

Got a big run around trying to get in contact with the boss at my dealer.

It's like dealing with children.

I'm about to take in in again for the 3 LCD replacement. Also had the DVD/CD drive replaced and a couple trips back for power supply problems.

Fresh eggs may act differently in boiled water?

If you want to peel them easily, the older eggs are the way to go.

My iMac has been in the repair shop 5 times and the 1 year guarantee is about to expire.

Any recommendations regarding extending the warranty?

Thanks.

A friend went to buy some copy DVDs yesterday.

The vendors said they could not sell.

Goes to show, the police can stop it...when they want to.

The BMA control every centimeter of the footpaths.

Taking someone's intellectual property is theft.

If you live in Thailand long enough, you may begin to think it's OK.

I had some neighbors doing the Jehovah Witness thing.

Pushy and persistent but they were real nice and their daughter looked like a up and coming supermodel...so I tolerated them.

Thais and Mexicans should never marry and have children.

They end up having kids too lazy to steal....

One of my favorite Italian places is on Soi 53. Bacco Sergio.

Sergio is a pro and knows his stuff.

Stay married. That way you don't have to give her squat.

Thai Police benefit from the selling of these items.

Expect to see 'business as usual' as soon as the phony 'crackdown' is over.

The Taxi Mafia is doing their best to ruin the tourism industry.

Tourists discuss the issuue here:

Nick has called the police and even contacted the Bangkok Governer but nothing has been done.

These are the people who are behind the scams. Is this Nick guy naive or what?

Nick has a point.

Why are those punks allowed to control the area in front of that hotel?

Good or bad for tourism I ask?
