    BANGKOK: -- The compensation for damages from the blockade of the Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports to be demanded from 13 former core leaders of the People’s Alliance for Democracy by the Airports of Thailand was estimated to amount to about a billion baht, including 522 million baht in principal plus 7.5 interest rate for a period of nine years.

     

    AOT managing director Nitinai Sirisamatthakarn said Monday (Sept 25) he expected the company and the former PAD core leaders would have to enter into mediation process to be handled by the Legal Execution Department.

     

    Although AOT is yet to calculate the actual amount of compensation to be paid by the ex-PAD core leaders, he estimated the figure would be around one billion baht based on the 522 million baht set by the court and 7.5 percent interest thereon since December 3, 2008.

    Were not talking about a hugh sentence here--- if the lady really believes in what she stands for--(like her counter part in Burma) then go to jail, the world would be on your side. Her brother only got 2 years---he is possibly thinking he may have made the wrong move now in legging it.

    Just a few who stayed---- and went on to be the leaders & written in history

     

    Aung San Suu

    Mahatma Gandhi

    Benazir Bhutto

    Lech Walesa

    Nelson Mandela

     

    The five names above are giants in the political pantheon, unfortunately, Yingluck Shinawatra, although much adored by many in Thailand, is nowhere near that class. Her situation is not of world importance or significance.

     

    Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma  (The Lady) stood for democracy against the military junta, served prison time and years of house arrest (21 years).  Nobel Prize.

    Mahatma Gandhi fought for the independence of India from British rule. Assassinated 1948. (Nobel Prize never awarded)

    Benazir Bhutto, Pakistani P.M. involved in corruption scandals. Assassinated 2007

    Lech Walesa, Polish president and politician, headed solidarity movement. Nobel Prize.

    Nelson Mandela. South African prisoner (27 years), politician and President. Lead the fight against apartheid. Nobel Prize.

     

    I agree with you, that had she stayed and "faced the music"' , she may well have achieved a minor martyrdom in Thailand. She was always Thaksin's proxy and probably a nice person in private, but unfortunately for her, she will go down in history as a sister of Thaksin.

    IMO, She did not run away, she was told to leave, or else!

    Nan river, outside our home, is very high and after this morning's storm will be even higher. If the Chao Phraya Dam is holding back water to prevent flooding up north, there's going to be some serious flooding downstream in the next few days..If not, Bangkok's going to take an even bigger bath.

    No but she was "on drugs" when the arrest happened. I imagine the defense will claim she wasn't of 'clear mind' during her initial statement and move to declare it inadmissible.

     

    At which point they'll still have to explain having possession of a large quantity of drugs, and having a scale (which is enough by itself to indicate intent to sell).

     

    On the face of it, they're screwed. 

     

    Realistically, these are hisos (sort of) with good connections. And she's a pretty girl so sentencing will be light. My guess is she gets a slap on the wrist of 18 months, which gets reduced to 6 with tears and "health problems" in the kook.

     

    He'll do 2x that, tops. They'll both need to pay some fines. And they'll also need to pay some "fines". 

     

    Thank you counselor, done and dusted then. Next case.:thumbsup:

    You dont know what she did before she met you. Ask her if she ever has been to pattaya. LOL. "You cant turn a HO! INTO A HOUSEWIFE"!

    Your post is redolent of bovine excrement. I personally know the person in question and yes, she has been to Pattaya, as a visitor, and most certainly is NOT , nor ever was a BG.

    However, you display your ignorance by stating that you cannot turn a BG into a housewife.Thousands have indeed managed that transition and lived comfortable lives to tell the tale.

    Too often the Hi-So's walk out of this easily in Thailand............. I HATE drugs.... 'druggies' ........ and 'drug sellers............

    I hope that 'farang dad' don't have enough money for the cops......... and she does her time (along with the boyfriend)...........

    We need a few more lessons for the other Hi-So to see that you can't buy your way out of everything..... But with the law-enforcement and courts in Thailand can we expect her/him to do the time ((or just pay (or have it paid for them) the price 'to the cops'? ???????))

    'Too often the Hi-So's walk out of this easily in Thailand..'

    Your point is well taken, but in fact she is not HiSo in the true sense as it is known in Thailand. "Boss" the Red Bull killer is from a HiSo family because they have billions derived from their energy drink empire. Most of the "new money" billionaires here, like the Shins etc are worshiped because of their cash and assets. There is also the "old" money, I believe they are referred to as "amart" with certain regal connections etc.

    Young Amelia, Amy is in the "TV celebrity" class, the supreme matriarch being IMO Kim Kardashian.

    Basically celebrity trash that thinks they are above the lowing herd.
