Isnt Jatuporn the fruitcake who got up on tv and prompted protesters to collect fuel as to burn Bangkok? The guy who should have been jailed but ended up showing up staying at some holiday camp in Sattahip? Wouldnt believe a word this criminal says. However I do think he will go back to jail and back to hospital again, and maybe again, while those in charge ascertain what the public and the international think about it all. Thaksin I think has indeed done a deal, possibly paid back what he stole plus interest, maybe even a pledge to stay out of politics. But it cant be made too obviuous. Those in charge will take their time, maybe even set up a few diversions of attention, until he is allowed free through fabricated ill health, royal pardon, or government sanction. He will go free. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannork Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Musing on this. Thaksin is sure he's got a cast iron deal. He wouldn't come back otherwise. In his hand he holds 141 MPs. They've done what they've been told, they've joined the junta backers. So is there any reason the deal could fall through? Well, in the past, high profile prisoners like Kamnan Poh spent his/ their jail term in a very nice private hospital, but it was kept quiet. It wasn't a public issue. Unlike Toni's case where every heartbeat is big news. The point being the double standards on display are obvious to the entire Thai population. Plus you've got those petitioning against double standards and others insisting Thaksin should be prosecuted for less majeste in 2015. Not so good for public unity, or indeed the image of the 'good people' when blatant favouritism is on display. Maybe the elite don't care, but they might, and it would do no harm to keep Toni confined, just to make sure his MPs do what they're told, plus it would satisfy those protesting at double standards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you've been rich beyond belief, had the freedom to fly anywhere in the world anytime you want (bar Covid), buy anything you want, etc, then to wake up in a room and realize you can't just walk out the door might create a kind of pressure on oneself.

He's dealing with some of the most corrupt greedy people on the planet and at times must be thinking, "what if these bastards, have me over, take my money and I suddenly die!" Because that thought would cross my mind. I think his money will be kept safely out of Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autonuaq Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 It is a fact that Taksin, came voluntary back to Thailand and know what the deal was that he made when he comes back. when ask, it is that one can presume that Taksin never would make any deal that made him to return to Thailand without knowing about the situation and wellbeing of the other Billionaires have in Thai Prisons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
