Everybody has to go through the Immigration booth. Hi-So Lo-So and No-So. Sickening. 

 

Yes, but I bet they don't go through the same channels, or use the same luggage carousel etc. Most airports have separate VIP channels.

 

Must be warming to know the Shins can do that whilst all the farmers they helped impoverish struggle on.

    And what truly excellent trolling it is!   I wonder how many times a day that Prayut and his cohorts think about the Shinawatras? I wonder if they think of them before they go to sleep? I wo

    I just love the fact that they are cruising around, having a blast, while P-Man and Toady are sweating... Plus, P-Man knows if either came back (without charges) tomorrow, the people would elect

Maybe the "present flow" went the other way. Along with some nice promises if he's helped back into power.

 

Remember the nice trade agreement he tried to by-pass parliament and implement?

 

Once a Carlisle Boy, always a Carlisle boy.

So not unlike the junta with their smug corruption and nepotism then? Whatever did happen with those watches? Few generals running round with billions in their pockets too. From someone who ran a Telco company the billions are easily explained. How does a general in the army end up with billions of assets though? ?

 

The billions are easily explained. He was a former ex cop who failed in several businesses until he used his political connections to wangle a nice Telco monopoly. Then he screwed the Thai public and forced them to buy their phones from his company or they couldn't use his service and there was no choice!

 

Yeah for free enterprise, fairness and competition!

Is it just me getting older, or is she getting hotter?

Yingluck is a fugitive from justice?

"A fugitive from justice, also known as a wanted person, can be a person who is either convicted or accused of a crime and hiding from law enforcement in the state or taking refuge in a different country in order to avoid arrest. " Source Wiki.

 

Would appear she is.

Having your own plane, being a connected billionaire with mates in the Carlisle group and politicians opens doors.

 

Usual hypocrisy. One law for the filthy rich and one law for the rest.

Right out of Prayuth's book.

:cheesy:Bit of both, yes she is looking good for her age, but you are getting older and your mind must be wandering, allowing you more fantasies.:cheesy:

Well done! Now go look up the word justice.

Your hatred of the current government and love of the Shins blinds you to reality.

 

So you have to mask the fact the Shins are crooks, very successful ones admittedly, by claiming any criticism of them means the poster is a junta fan.

 

Or don't you think they are crooks?

 

Sad really, more to be pitied.

Well mate the Shins are just a bunch of crooks, but the present mob  are just as corrupt if not worse.

Yingluck is still the world's most beautiful ex-PM, I think.

I know there are such things, but seriously, what passport are they traveling under?  Thai or some other citizenship?

 

This issue has been raised, addressed and answered before about 3 million times.... 

 

Both Thaksin and Yingluck have passports from other countries and they have obviously met the Visa criteria. Since every developed country sees their guilty findings as politically motivated they don't factor into the decisions. 

 

As to have which country, Thaksin has been widely reported as Montenegro. There are numerous countries around the world in which one can buy citizenship. From memory these can start from as low as about $120k (USD). 

What can the army do? LOL.........

Umm, I think most people (expats too) are aware of the political history of the Shins without consulting Wikipedia, but most of us don't develop a morbid fascination with the subject.

Indeed they are Colin. All as bad as one another. And that's the point. But some like to pretend the Shins aren't.

The level of misguided BS in your post is epic. And you know that... Or you aren't that bright. 

 

Thaksin was rich well before politics and the value of his holdings arguably went down over the term of his leadership. Feel free to check the various evidence based reports I and others have linked in here previously. 

 

Is he a great bloke? Not really. Did he feather his nest in the manner of ever Thai leader ever? No doubt. Was he worse than, say, the current mob? No. And he was elected, the only Thai PM re elected by popular majority. Under the least restrictive Constitution and with a result not impacted by vote buying (I didn't say that no cash was splashed, I just said it didn't impact the result - a fact acknowledged by the UN, By Election experts globally and by the Dems before the last election in Thailand). All these are Facts that have been linked in here before. They are all searchable. 

 

The reality is that there are two primary competing forces in Thailand and neither are particularly savory but to argue that Thaksin is demonstrably worse is to simply play the game of the establishment elites. He has however had the support of the majority, by any measure, for 2 decades now. Which in a democracy should matter. 

 

 

This publicity is surely the excuse for further election delays.

And what type of Visa, Passport are they traveling into the USA on?  Can't be diplomatic since that was all recalled revoked wasn't it? 

Probably, the "Brown Paper Bag" Visa!!  Hmmm,  Interpol Red Warrant seems to have stopped, as has US National Crime Bureau (NCB), perhaps, "Watchman" needs to rewind!! 

Lovely photo of the siblings by the way. Wouldn’t it make a lovely FB profile photo for the masses. Imagine Mr P’s response. Smoke from both ears.

Someone here need calming here too. He is trying hard to inject his usual idiosyncratic views of the Shins. 

Where's General Nalika of the 1st Chronometer Regiment these days? Seems to have gone to ground, could be apoplexy.

I don't know what do you think about those two persons...I love them!
