Is there a reason why you always refer to Taksin as “de facto boss cum convict etc. Etc”. Why not just “Former Prime Minister”?

Or professional piss taker !!

Just has to wait for her  brother's miraculous recovery and pardon, then he will clear the way I expect.

... a period of time behind bars ?

That should be doable , just put some ( bamboo ) bars in front of her bedroom bed ( at her home of course ) .

Just for a day or so , she will be pardoned and free soon after ...

At least she is nicer to look at than her brother .

Will she go the  hospital way after her return , just as her brother ...?

Probably not , that would be too obvious .

They will find another way , like house arrest for a week or so ...

Farangs , as guests in this country , can only look at this soap opera in awe of their ingeniosity .

 

 

"Farangs , as guests in this country ," Guests???????????????

I don't remember the details and I don't really want to think too much about it.

As far as I remember the rice scheme was promoted to bring money to the poor farmers. And that is obviously one of those reasons those farmers voted for her.

But it was obvious that lots of middlemen make huge amounts of profit. And rice was sold by politicians with huge profit margins. And then the warehouses which were supposed to be full of rice - but somehow that rice disappeared.

Did she plan all this? No. Did her big brother plan it? I am sure he planned at least some of it.

Was she as PM responsible? Yes.

Should any person (anywhere in this world) be a candidate for PM, to lead the country, without huge knowledge about what is going on and how politics work? She was incompetent. That was obvious. She should have never applied for the job.

But she did apply for the job, and she was responsible, and bad things happened while she was officially in charge. She was responsible and she should be made responsible. "I am sorry" is not good enough. And "I have no idea, I just did what my brother told me to do" is not much better.

There may be a lot in what you say, but we have a soldier, an ex unelected PM who committed an illegal act with a coup after saying there will be no coup. Who is prancing about as free as a bird and probably will never see a jail cell or have to make up stories to keep him in a hotel, sorry! In a Hospital.

Post traumatic stress, from being away from the family so long, and from being innocent and found guilty. 

She will need good care

And the PM wants Thai youth abroad to return home to this kind of Gov.   What an allusion ... even his 2 sons won't come home!  Yes, there is corruption in the West too but newcomers are naive to it there.

How many Thai MP's have second jobs ie company directors, lawyers while drawing their full MP's salary, have mortgages paid for with their second homes? That's right! I am referring to the UK here.

Yingluck Patiently Awaits Homecoming In Thaksin’s Style

First she'll need to work on a medical condition that will keep her in a private suite on the penthouse of a hospital.

However, former deputy prime minister Wissanu Krea-ngam has earlier suggested that Yingluck return from abroad to serve her jail sentence for a period of time before royal pardon may be sooner or later granted.

She'll need to come up with her own special disease that will need to be treated in the private, penthouse wing of a hospital where even the prying eyes of government health officials will not be allowed as a member of the Shinawatra family privacy is sacrosanct and inviolate. They are so special that a government official tasked with checking on a Shinawatra's condition is not allowed to visit without the Shinawatra's approval which the Shinawatra refuses to give. "Privacy" we are told.

Petitions for the granting of royal pardon cannot be taken into account by law until the convict has already served a period of time behind bars, according to the former deputy prime minister.

8 hours, apparently.

[Purdey]

So, after all said and done, the Supreme Court says she was not guilty of one charge of abusing power. Perhaps the SC could look at other charges and exonerate her.

Didn't happen.  She was not PM at the time of the coup, the Constitutional Court had already removed her for abuse of power.

She called an election and as I said before land was sold and a coup.

She was not in a position to call an election at the time of the coup, she had already been removed from office by the CC.   

 

"...land was sold..."

Which "land was sold"?

My thoughts too. I was led to believe that you had to serve one third of your sentence before being even eligible for a pardon. In his case that would be about 2 1/2 years? He served 8 hours did he not.... 

Correct.

Unless someone with the authority to do otherwise does so.

2002 was when I first went to Thailand. Scuba diving instructor on Kow Tow then 2005 Bangkok as a Teacher when I first used the original Thai visa for teaching jobs and placing adverts for required teachers. Left after the first coup I experienced Mr T. Went back to thailand in 2010 built a house and then my second coup so experienced that mess till 2019 and left over the 400k/800k baht deposit as against my principles.  Over all those years I've dabbled with Thai visa and watched read and on occasion left comments. I also noticed the influx of accounts after the coup with very pro coup bad grammar accounts. I also noticed when you joined not that long ago.

A teacher and diving instructor. I am impressed. 

And then you also have principles. I am even more impressed. 

Continue your dabbling...

So, in your world, political responsibility (normal punishment: Lose election, no longer PM) translates in to criminal responsibility (punishment: years in prison)?

Jesus, which part is so difficult to understand?

Everybody makes mistakes, including politicians. That's life and accepted.

And then are there some people who pretend they made a mistake, but in reality, it was planned from the beginning that this "mistake" will happen.

Do you really think those middlemen and warehouse owners got rich by accident?

Oh, sorry mister, that must have been a small mistake. Yeah, sure.

No surprise from this one too,just like the brother.Waiting for the nod  and she is there.What excuse or illness we must wait and see.

Utter dribble.  Why spout rubbish, all you are doing is showing at best lack of knowledge. What crime did she actually commit? Rice pledge which was a really good policy and several times over the years it would have paid dividends. Greedy currupt officials stole not her. She called an election and as I said before land was sold and a coup. If you think that the crime of the military taking power at the end of a gun is ok then persecuting any and all who stood in their/his way is ok please get your moral compass checked. Personally it sickens me to my stomach. The persecuted nurse who witnessed the murder of unarmed civilians under the order of general........... sick.

Hm,...I hope your stomach is feeling well with the 2500 + innocent deaths Thaksin's war on drugs had coursed !??
