Rather fitting for a man of his stature.

Going to be interesting in the coming days / weeks as to what his future plans are retired or not ????

"Has been absent (Banished) from Thailand since ???? Will that count as time served in lieu?". 

 

Wrong! He wasn't banished, he fled, his decision and at the same time he reniged on his promise to return to LOS after attending the Olympic Games.

Yep, such a trust worthy guy, could lie straight in bed

Thaksin's major contribution to tourism and immigration was the Thai Elite card that he fraudulently claimed would allow foreigners to own land. In reality he actually made it harder for foreigners to own land. Apart from that he had all the PR and citizenship applications knocked back and either rejected completely or delayed for 3 years.  He also increased visa fees.

 

Thaksin's approach was always to pander to the super rich foreigners, clear out the bottom tier and make things harder for the middle of the road expats. Visas for super rich are now saturated with Elite Card and LTR visas.  So he can just focus on clearing out the bottom tier and raising visa fees and financial hurdles.

Expand  

You over estimate our significance, for the foreseeable future he has a lot more on his plate than us.

Me too, I can only guess they weren't here in 2003 ish. Possibly, they are married to farmer families. There is ABSOLUTELY no logical reason a foreigner would want this guy back! 

Expand  

Having been a volunteer instructor in Nong Khai (Isan) I saw the changes that took place when money was spent in the provinces and not just Bangkok.  He did very well for us who are not fixated with Bangkok.  Yes I welcome him back!

Do you know he increased visa fees from 500 to 1900 baht.

Do you know he doubled the amount foreigners have to keep in the bank?

Maybe you want him to crackdown on the agents again?

Expand  

There has never been anything said about this until now, can anyone confirm that this is really true, or even send links of any kind?

Oh dear, he won't be well enough to serve his sentence. He will have to be released on health grounds. He will of curse be well enough to engage in politics and money making after his release - might even find time for the grandchildren.

So that's how they can control him. Let him serve while monitored, get involved in politics and go back to prison.

 

[hotchilli]

The ultimate sacrifice maybe?

PTP have done a 180 on everything they promised not to do, even now they have got into bed with the enemy..

Is this a distraction to get things back on line?

I wonder  if Boss will consider coming back for a "welcome home son"?

[madmitch]

Today Sreetha will be elected PM. 

 

Early Parliamentary debate will indirectly involve pardon of Thaksin.

 

Royal pardon officially occurring next month.

 

Out of his luxury cell in the Bangkok Hilton within a month.

 

All pre-planned and pre-agreed with the Parliamentary partners, the uncles and someone else.

 

And they all live happily ever after.

Gotta be pretty lonely and homesick if he prefers the social environment of prison and Thai prison food to that of a country with "SIN" for the airport code of it's capital. ????

What PTP? Jatuphon just made a scathing denouncement of Thaksin and the PTP. Nattawut quit two days ago. There is no party left after PTP's doublecross except some MPs few of whom will be reelected. Quintessential Thaksin.
