You dun see people rising up coz many want Thaksin back 

 

 

I doubt its anything to do with that.  This charade started long before the return of Thaksin was ever mentioned.  Move Forward not being allowed to take governance was when the Thai people first realised the implications of the new constitution.  In a great many countries, what happened immediately after the election would have triggered mass protests.

 

I also think that Thaksin/Pheu Thai's popularity will have taken quite a beating - after Thaksin's obvious deal with the generals many Thai's now believe Pheu Thai and in particular, Thaksin himself are hand in glove with the generals.

At least there's something we can agree on.

 

Here's a question, and the one that matters most. During his premiership, what percentage of Thai's were happy with him? Or should I ask what percentage of Thai's voted for him?

Champers will be delivered in an ice-bucket along with his gourmet meal.

how many russians are happy with putin? how many germans were happy with hitler? and so on ...

 

what are you trying to say? if people fall for a politician, does that mean they don't need to follow the law?

or if a politician does something good for the own people, does that mean they don't need to follow the law?

are you?

 

by the way, politicians are voted in and well-paid to make decisions that benefit the people ... and not themself!

I am just trying to say that with all these farangs running down Thaksin, it is what the Thai people want that should matter most.

Personally I think that no one should ever be a PM without being voted in by any countries electorate.

fair enough!

[thailand49]

For sure they are living up to their claim Medical Hub! 

 

If Department of correction continue to let out these story stupid MF might start a outbreak of crime to get into their hospital if their providing this type of medical care to so call inmates. 

One thing for sure he at his age don't have to worry about his hair turning white ????

i would go as far as to say: thank thaksin and his corrupt clan, thailand wasted 9 years. thanks to thaksin, thailand will remain a corrupt country for many years to come. thanks to thaksin, every thai knows that if you have money and influence, you will be treated differently. thanks to thaksin, the poor remain poor, the rich become even wealthier (also through corruption).

 

during thaksin's time as pm, he and his government had all the power to bring about real change for the benefit of the thai people. unfortunately, he became so greedy (and a narcist) and believed he was above the law, thinking he could do whatever he pleased.

I cannot comment on that as I was only here in Thailand during Thaksins last year, and as I said on an earlier post all the farangs who I met, most here a lot longer than me at the time, were all happy and content with life here.

And Thaksin made many decisions that benefited Thai's.

[itsari]

Perhaps the ex prime minister imprisoned has contracted tuberculosis or HIV like so many prisoners do in Thai jail's.

One can well understand the concerns of the jail administrators.

will he be remembered by the young people for doing a few good things,

or will he be remembered as a corrupt criminal who had money and connections

to get away with anything, and as someone who knew how to manipulate the people and the system? (of course he is not the only one, there are many more little thaksin's, eg kh prayut etc)

 

it is a shame ...

Thailand remember him for doing good things.

Bangkok elite will remember him for corruption.

Butthurt falangs,  they just jump on what ever bandwagon that gets them hard.

 

it is a shame ...

[bannork]

He and his party will be remembered for joining with the junta parties so one man could come home.

Thaksin will be remembered as the hypocrite he is. Just read these first three quotes and then remember what he and his party did: join with the junta parties.

Pass the sick bag, Alice.

Indeed! In the meantime, a civil servant who used an official for his personal use for two years gets a 50 year sentence!!! Mind-boggling but, again, TIT “justice”.

All of which would be quite moot at this stage in the circus. Probably had a healthy and balanced percentage of admirers and detractors in his day. 

He's not looking to be directly involved in political candidacy any longer - yet, surely would be advising or even pulling strings here and there. 

 

Wouldn't it be best for all circles to allow this seemingly Thaksin obsession to be and get on with our lives.

Please explain how that would have come about, seeing as how he hasn't been in jail?

Exactly

[crazykopite]

A CT scan isn’t a big deal it’s done and dusted within 90 minutes another BS story to try and convince the public why this guy should be not in prison but in a  private suite in the police hospital 

[crazykopite]

Was talking to a friend on Friday he had a Thai GF who is basically on her deathbed and she is only in her 30s he was helping to fund her medication , however since she has been getting treatment it was discovered that she was wanted for murder going back 12 years ago I think she has been given no more than 6 months to live but that hasn’t stopped her being banged up in prison where they are now paying for all her medication so it appears that she will at some stage die in her new found home my friend said he is allowed two visits a week for 10 minutes then the phones goes dead at least he no longer has to pay for her medication !

Yes nothing more than usual. These providers of justice need not worry about trying to bamboozle the general public.

After all they are all General's, why bother.

Clown show.

Prisoners in Thai jails (including the one Thaksin was in) are not shackled and are provided with toilets (and showers), not holes in the ground.

All those who need it.  They also get treatment in hospital, by doctors, when necessary.

You really can't help yourself, can you?  No one eats fish heads in Thai prisons...unless visitors bring it in for them.

He might even go off bang before Thaksin goes on a diet of old rice and fish heads!

It is.  He's in the custody of the Corrections Department while being treated.

AFAIK no operation was performed while he stayed in BKK .

He is suffering from a general ' fatigue ' it seems .

But, then, you (nor anyone else) have not seen his private medical records, so both your "AFAIK" and your "diagnosis" is nonsense.   

His daughter did report that he did have surgery a week or so ago.
