They are in Malaysia.

And much as I despise the pair of them what she is doing is not rude - it looks like she is just pointing to what she is ordering.  "Two of those please, and can you throw in an amnesty for the hair dye guy?  No?  Oh."

Lol!! I love this board.  Posters are quick to point out all the dye job on these old gizzards.  They have no shame with it from Cha Cha to Thaksin

There was no official confirmation on what their schedule was, with a source saying that it was a private holiday

Living very comfortably on their ill-gotten gains..

And the talk is of a possible come-back or another sibling in the mix..

Thailand has totally lost it's political way.. ruined by family monopolies and sheer greed.

"But he didn’t get to be a billionaire by being delusional."

 

Do some deeper research, he got handed a telecoms license by a scaly, ruthless, violent member of a past coup. Only one license issued, no bids etc.

 

All happened at a time when the Thai law was very specific - all telecoms operations have to be by the state.

 

He charged customers very high user rates, quickly he made a fortune. 

Indeed.

 

The same applies to many of the entrepreneurial/business “geniuses” in Thailand, who are in fact just part of the oligarchy machinery.

 

Pretty sure my dog could make a fortune running a monopoly (King Power) or a favorable government concession (AIS). There are numerous other examples…

 

It’s just a method to give a thin veneer of respectability and legitimacy to the oligarchy’s ongoing cash grab from the Thai populace.

I do that too... as a person who has accepted going grey at the edges I have a go at pals who are adopting some rather odd colours.

@bolt @couchpotato @Sparktrader So  typical of most posters on AN. Uninformed and not cute. Former PM Thaksin and former PM Yingluck are brother and sister.  

Which one is the brother?

[toofarnorth]

Good point to the shredded wheat Yingluck.

Never had decent political way to lose. 

Oligarchical families have been managing the place for ages.

Sorry to correct you, but She is his Daughter.

May I suggest that Tony and his daughter try the North Sentinel Island.

Apparently their cuisine is much better than Penang's.

Don't worry about transport, the local fishermen can drop you off at the island.

Lock them up!

[bristolgeoff]

I,am sure both with non thai passports so close and the thai gov can not touch them or the money that got out

[Aussieroaming]

They should hold an annual conference in Malaysia...."Thais in Exile". Plenty of famous Thais who could be keynote speakers and I'm sure that Redbull would or could act as the major sponsor.

Can't blame them, the food in Penang is great 

Got to be some of the best  food in the world. I stayed about 3 months just because of the food... You beat me to it...

We just do not care what the exiles are doing with themselves. Though that is likely as close to home as they will ever get!
