The new PM says he’s determined to revitalise Thailand’s economy, which has underperformed recently compared to its SE Asian neighbours following nearly a decade of military-dominated rule.

Wow...

Lies lies and more lies... this was orchestrated from the get go.

Your kidding me. Thaksin is already running the show. The current prime minister is only a puppet and the old con man is still pulling the strings from his VIP Hospital  suite.

surprise surprise I really didn’t see that coming. TIT

Being Thailand, we can change anything at anytime to meet our  requirements or just simply ignore  what doesn't suit the outcome. 

[TheFishman1]

So he is convicted he’s told millions and now they’re letting them back in. What’s the next his sister arrives she goes directly to a Hospital suite and then the new p.m. will find a room for her to play in the government. Crazy crazy TIT.

Yeah, PM but in the background. What a joke! Thailand can never move forward on the world stage while doing things like this.

Never, greed is perpetual! 

[bamnutsak]

Did Srettha expand on the "role"? Any details?

 

Just there to provide advice?

 

 

As to what role Thaksin might play in the new government, that is less clear.

 

“Let’s play by ear,” Mr Srettha said.

 

BLOOMBERG

 

 

Srettha's management style, "Let's wing it".

 

Way out of his depth.

Have you noticed, there are very few convictions of influential people! 

[malthebluff]

Well the only government job for a very poorly old man who as just gone through surgery would be chief accountant in charge of all government assets

[klauskunkel]

Srettha: "The more convicts in government, the better!"

Bloomberg: "..."

[XJPSX]

You couldn’t script this stuff.

[Deserted]

So that's why Khun Taksin came back.

I figured he would be exempt from politics, boy was I wrong..

Because he doesn’t own shares in a defunct media company. Everything else goes.
