Thai netizens mostly endorse Thaksin’s vow to return

[wasabi]

Old square face was corrupt but they all are. It's been downhill since he left. Bring him back.

[OneMoreFarang]

Sure, he should come back to Thailand. And then he should go to jail, like any other criminal.

And the same for his little sister.

And after they finished their time in jail then they can try to convince the people in Thailand that this time they want to work for all Thais and that their main concern is not to enrich themselves.

Lets not forget, Thaksin could now still be PM in Thailand, beloved by everybody, if he wouldn't have been so greedy.

He decided many years ago that he is above the law and until now he got away with that.

Does anybody think Thaksin would be honest in the future and working hard for all Thais? Or does he wants to get richer and jail all his opponents?

 

It's time for the Thai people to vote for honest people who are willing to work for all Thais and Thailand. Until now most Thais vote again and again for corrupt rich people and then voters are surprised when those corrupt people are corrupt in government. It's really not so difficult to understand that it is stupid to vote for corrupt criminals.

 

And for the record: Only the fact that Prayut is not good doesn't make Thaksin better. Being anti-Thaksin doesn't mean one must be pro-Prayut.

yes. I was there at that time sitting in a bar.  I never saw Thai people so scared.  I mean some were turning out the lights, closing the doors, really afraid of the military or police coming down hard.  Remember the 7-11s putting news paper sheets on all the windows.  I found a little massage place still quietly open on Soi Honey I think it was and passed some time there before going back to my hotel Intown Holiday. 

 

  I do also remember the yellow or red shirt marches that panicked some people earlier.

Really? I didn't see any scared people when the last two coups happend.

I saw lots of people bringing flower and soft drinks to the soldiers.

How about bringing him back and putting him in jail and voting for honest people? Or would that be too radical?

[mtls2005]

Great, another fossil, just what Thailand needs.

 

That need for a parent figure to tell them what to do is deeply ingrained.

 

Go young.

But he still has a two year jail term to serve!

Surely he is not gonna serve  that for anything?

 

I would like to see him running the country  but that just ain't gonna happen

[gk10012001]

I suspect many of the netizens are not physically in Thailand as talking pro Thaksin is probably not allowed

Yes, But I would let the sister off, as i still think she's hot.

Top bloke Thaksin!!  The best guy to lead Thailand out of the mess that the military guys have created...

[robblok]

As a previous coup supporter I certainly dislike Thaksin and his proxies. However the way the government is handeling the covid situation and other situations is so much alike as when YL did the rice scam and flooding that its uncanny.

 

Both will never admit their fault and even if reporters come up with news and discoveries the both governments never acknowledge it. In YL her rice scam it was in the news for long that the G2G deals were fake. She always denied and in the end the truth emerged the deals were fake. Now we got Prayut who totally messed up covid and is covering it up. All news reports and critique is being attacked.

 

So I doubt there will be much change both are corrupt and power hungry. But maybe Thaksin can do a better job who knows. I still prefer future forward. as one of the few parties that is really honest. The leader put his money in a blind trust something unheard of in Thai politics so he could not benefit from his decisions. (shows a lot of goodwill)

 

But i doubt Thaksin will  come back he has time to serve and his conviction disqualifies him Though with enough support anything can happen how else did we get a convicted drug dealer in government.

 

Thaksin certainly would have to try hard handling covid worse then Prayut. But it wont happen but hopefully it puts some extra stress on this government. I want to see them fall.

I totally agree with this.

It seems that there are many on this board who were not living in Thailand under Thaksin's reign or are (conveniently) ignorant of the facts.

He lined his own pockets with money that belonged to the Thai people and then went into hiding out in Dubai when he got found out.

When he had established his new base of operations he then got his sister into power, as his proxy, so that he could rape the country's coffers some more.

On top of this he orchestrated an extra-judicial killing campaign disguised as his 'War on drugs',  in which 2,200 people were killed in a 3 month period.

Conveniently, some of the slain drug dealers happened to be political opposition.

 

The idiot currently in power really does have to go but who in their right minds would want to replace him with a criminal of this magnitude?

I must correct what I posted.  The sudden lockdown was a few years earlier about 8 PM.  I have lost track of the years.  There were rumors the Military was on the outskirts of town and the town slapped on a curfew all of a sudden.

 

  having said that, I still was very disappointed  with this coup and the previous coup over Thaksin.  If you keep tossing out a constitution than the constitution has no meaning.

It's been mostly all down hill since that nite in May/2014 when sweetie and I were told by a movie house manager that they were closed because the army was in the streets. My first and so far only  coup d'état. 

It was my third (four if you count the judicial coup against Samak that foisted the unelected Abhisit Democrat government on us, culminating in the 2010 Rajaprasong massacre).

 

Suchinda in '92

 

Was in Phnom Penh for the 2006 coup, watched it in Howies and Heart of Darkness on St. 51 then flew into BKK still drunk at 6am to Humvees on the expressway. That was surreal.

 

Judicial coup in 2008 that removed PM Samak for appearing on a cooking show (by this time they had shown their true colours and were just using any old excuse).

 

2014 was predictable as they were planning it for years and as soon as Suthep was involved it was only going to go one way.

Ever the coup apologist. At least you are consistent.

 

The only things coups do is subvert the democratic process, rob the people of a say in their leaders, erode the rule of law and weaken confidence in due process, the economy and the maturity of a country.

He will argue, with some merit, that his charges were politically motivated.

 

See, that's what happens when you have coups to remove elected politicians from their positions. It lessens trust in due process, the judicial system and gives the other party moral high ground from which to counter.

 

I don't know why I need to keep reiterating this simple concept.

In the beginning Thaksin did some very good things, really shook things

up in the Civil Service,where anything took at least a week, you could get

done in few hours, Expats with yellow book had health cover at Government

Hospitals, helped poor people , THEN realised helping the poor,especially from

Isan, would mean that he would always win the elections, without spending his

own money, use government money for populist policies .

 

Then as always happens ,the power went to his head, corruption from his

family and cohorts was rife ,just like today really....someone needs to step

up and save Thailand , but I don't see anyone.........

Loving your whataboutery in trying to compare the rice pledging scheme to the incompetence and mismanagement of the COVID-19 debacle where Thai lives are at stake. There's not an opportunity missed to try and compare the two to try and somehow excuse your bad judgement.

 

You supported the coup, you were duped. This government is far worse than the ones that preceded it. You were wrong. Those are the facts that we all now know. 

 

Didn't the Administrative Court recently overturn the Yingluck verdict citing that the prosecution had failed to show any clear evidence that Yingluck was responsible for the financial damages done to the state, saying that all the corruption happened at the operational level?

Yes, that's it. Taksin went way too far. It was understood by all that he would take care of #1 and line his own pockets, in Thailand that just comes with the territory, but he just went too far, he was insane with power, and overdid it. The whole political mess Thailand is in today would have been avoided if only Taksin hadn't been so greedy.

That you don't see it is your mistake not mine. I am talking about the lies deceit and trying to keep the lies from becoming public. That is what i was aiming at. YL might be set free but the two ministers who served under her were convicted of the fake deals that she failed to find and did her best to hide.

 

Same with Prayut, if you don't see the comparison then that is up to you. Both use exactly the same tactics so why would they be any better.

 

Sorry but both are in it for themselves and utterly corrupt.
