Popular Post Gandtee Posted January 17 Popular Post Share Posted January 17 I thought that those who had served prison sentences were barred from holding political positions? But then imprisoned in Australia doesn't count. Or even in Thailand it would see. 2 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolgeoff Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 No surprise part of the deal with a lot of cash in brown evenlopes.Once free he will be 100 percent fit as if nothing happened.I Imagine next will be the sister with a similar deal and for sure we know she will have health problems so same hospital deal.The only other one waiting is mr redbull but everyone knows where to find him if they want.Just a time thing and will appear like magic on that freedom date 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamnutsak Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 11 hours ago, jvs said: Is this news? It is in the sense that this change in stance is being floated to allow the inmate to be released today, without an ankle monitor. Of course, most assume he hasn't been in the hospital for weeks, so this theatre seems even more absurd. Previously it was assumed he had to "serve" six months, meaning he would be released on 22 Feb., 50% of his one-year remaining sentence. But, for some reason, they're deviating from the original "plan". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough 30, 20, even 15 years ago...when Thailand didn't try to fool itself and others about who and what it/they truly are. Back then it was all smiles and 'we know and we know you know', so "mai pen rai", "sabai sabai" , "jai yen" and live and let live. Things were cool and easy. Now the place is worse than ever, yet it lies and pretends with charades and delusions, fooling no one but themselves. Things are more difficult for us, as well as majority of the Thai population. The elites are on a mighty high-horse, above any law or order...of which there has never been much...except now they rule with absolute power over their minions, expat residents and tourists...while running more wildly amok than ever. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFishman1 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The day he gets out of his suite I mean his room in the hospital he will remarkably make a full recovery from the head of the prison to the doctors. They should all be ashamed. I forgot Thai people don’t know the word shame TIT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am expecting a token gesture of him looking weak and unwell when first released..... to be followed by rapid improvement.

mfd101 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 If we stand back from the petty details and the pettiness that accompanies them, this is on the whole good for Thailand. Clean up the messes of the past & move on. Even the Constitutional Court & the Electoral bodies will be learning about how to move with the times. Which can only be good for Pita & MFP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post retarius Posted January 18 Popular Post Share Posted January 18 OH good, let's get him out of jail or hospital as he is a model prisoner.....then maybe we can stop seeing articles about Thaksin dominating the news cycle and freaking out all the weirdos that hate him. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikke1959 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Impossible.. yesterday the news was that Thaksin should not be called an inmate.. and inmates can ask for parole.. So no inmate no parole.. Besides that he is out already and maybe not eeven in Thailand, as he wanted to be with his family and his daughter is in Dubai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazykopite Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 That was always the deal otherwise he would never have come back to Thailand his sister will be back by the end of the year my question is what deal has he and his party put together that the unelected senators will keep there posts when there supposed term of office comes to an end in March of the year ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klauskunkel Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 5 hours ago, webfact said: THE CORRECTIONS Department said today (Jan. 17) that de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-prisoner Thaksin Shinawatra meets the criteria for parole and once released may take up a political role Interesting how the Corrections Dept. may determine whether a criminal convicted in Thailand can "take up a political role". Not the Justice Dept., the Supreme Court, the Election Committee... To be fair, "a political role" could be an advisor or an office holder, but they are not being specific for a reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the hell of it, I wrote a letter to Bangkok Post's Postbag, asking if it is correct to refer to Thaksin as a criminal? got no joy. 555 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
