Perhaps because the bribes have already been paid? Oh. You don't think foreign governments know that Thailand is corrupt from the top to the bottom? Seriously? Perhaps because he comes from one of the "elite" families which pull the strings in Thailand and are untouchable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I mean he is from one of the families that do not need to bribe the police. They are one of the families that are in control of this country. One of the Thai oligarchs.

Seriously? Never said anything about that. Of course other governments know that, both during Thaksin's era and right up to the present day. But what's that got to do with the issue at hand? He most certainly is guilty of what he's accused of in those several major cases. And the fact the current regime hasn't done much with the Red Bull guy or the spaceship monk or anyone else doesn't change the fact he's guilty. But in the end, Thaksin's just going to end up in the same place as all the others -- "wanted" at home but free as a bird abroad, with any country they're likely to visit/stay being unlikely to ever extradite them to the current regime, even if that regime was actually seriously trying to accomplish that end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corruption is always relevant where governments are concerned. though I accept you don't think so. We just are not in agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I acknowledge the distinction, but sooner or later it comes down to money or favours, oligarchs or not. Edited June 21, 2018 by KiwiKiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then returned about 18 months later and again left the country openly. He then refused to return. Yea, you haven’t bothered to follow the thread. We aren’t talking about when Thaksin was overthrown in the coup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Dude Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Best thing for the Junta to do is ignore these two...more you talk about them, the more you give them publicity. Surprised they haven't figured this out yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well quote on that then. I was quoting someone who said he fled in 2008. That’s how quoting works. You quoting me on something I wasn’t talking about makes no sense. Read people’s posts and keep it relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candide Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 And today a third warrant for another case. I wonder why both are issued at about the same time? Synchronised with what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does the phrase in the meme have in relation to the discussion about Thaksin NOT fleeing when he was NOT in country. It is an oxymoron, he could not do both? How about letting the good folks on this forum get back on track and let them enjoy the main discussion without your asinine inaccurate digressions?
