Popular Post snoop1130 Posted August 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2023 Many Thai netizens were glued to coverage of the return to Thailand and surrender of now former fugitive ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra, who had been in self-imposed exile for the best part of 17 years. Thaksin, being well aware of the local and international attention focused on his return on Tuesday, posted images of himself on his private jet before taking off from Singapore. Keen-eyed netizens noticed the watch Thaksin is wearing in one of the photos. X (Twitter) user and political analyst M.L. Nattakorn Devakula wrote “If I am not wrong, the watch Thaksin is wearing is Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime”. Patek Philippe watches are renowned some of the most expensive in the world. If M.L. Nattakorn is correct, prices of the series he mentioned start at about Bt110 million. When Thaksin landed at a Don Muang VIP airport, however, online detectives went to work again, noticing that the watch Thaksin was now wearing, when he briefly greeted his supporters, was not the same one as in the photo taken on the aircraft. Instead, it was identified as an Omega X Swatch, the price of which is about Bt8,700.

Elkski Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Sure he brought many gifts to make gis prison stay more like a 5 ***** resort. Its already been decreed they will make hiscstay suitable for many visitors and foreign press. Cant imagine any real press not writing about his royal treatment compared the a normal prisoner. So that means the oress will be limited to liners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer90210 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I first thought it was a common steel-gold Rolex Daytona. But considering the ca$h flow on the gentleman, a Patek would obvisouly be the preferred model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homburg Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 A probable explanation for the change is that the pix from on board the aircraft were staged and taken on a different day, hence the different watch, but a politician staging a photoshoot! Who'd have thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Maybe he was afraid that Prawit would want to borrow the watch and, as we were told, the owner died. Karma has it, that Thaksin was right NOT to wear the watch so Prawit would not get funny ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
