And there was me thinking he was on his death bed yet within 24 hours he is receiving overseas government officials it’s clear to me he has zero parole conditions if he can see who he wants Thailand is becoming an embarrassment to the rest of the world !!!!

"Thailand is becoming an embarrassment to the rest of the world !!!!"  Becoming?? It has been since the illegal coup by Prayuth and the rest of his soldiers. A guy with an average low Thai IQ leading a country backed by soldiers, guns, and tanks and getting away with it for 9 years.

I am no financial expert but does the fact that since he and his soldiers left office the UK pound has got stronger from around 40 Baht to around 45 Baht to the GBP not tell you anything?

The cameras were there to record the meeting...

Nice whip.

I just shake my head at some of the posters on here. Mr T. was ellected by the people as was his sister. The crime above all crimes is for a soldier to take the country at the end of a gun and the penalty for that crime should be the ultimate punishment.  Thailand is and always will be a country cowering under the threat of the military jack boot. People should remember that and until true justice is carried out leave Mr T. and his Sister alone. I never liked Mr T. however,  the majority of people of Thailand did!

Luckily Hun Sen can enter Visa Exempt but he'd better have a return air ticket in case the receiving IO asks. I hope he keeps his boarding pass ready to avoid holding up the queue.

Happy to see his neck and arm are much better

Hun Sen describes his reunion with Thaksin as “a meeting of brothers”

 

 

Former Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen has described his relationship with his former Thai counterpart, Thaksin Shinawatra, as that of brothers and an excellent 32-year friendship.

 

“We are brothers. We talked no politics. We reminisced about our 32 years of friendship,” wrote Hun Sen on his Facebook page.

 

Hun Sen was the first guest to meet Thaksin, who was granted parole from corruption-related prison sentences on Sunday. Hun Sen also posted photos of their meeting today on his Facebook page, which showed Thaksin still wearing a neck brace and an arm sling. Also pictured was Paetongtarn Shinawatra.

His hair is impressively black. And his makeup looks mahvelous.

Hun Sen will have lunch with Thaksin before returning to Phnom Penh.

 

I would like to be a fly on the wall during discussions over lunch. I wonder if Yingluk will feature?

At the time of her escape from Thailand in 2017, it was widely believed Cambodia assisted her, along with some members of the Thai military who did not want her around. Maybe she will be returning to Thailand as the result of a brokered deal?

No need to add anything more to that.. it says it all.

[spidermike007]

That is not a friendship to be proud of. Hun Sen is a money grubbing, power hungry, land grabbing multi billionaire, who stopped at nothing to maintain his power, and amass more fortune. In addition, his resume includes many years as a commander in the Kymer Rouge, where he engaged in serial killing. Quite a leader. He is getting old, and is paranoid. His personal security detail numbers over 5,000 men. There are countless people who want him dead. Of course he is tried to curb the media. Just like PT and the army here. He had his political opponents, such as Chea Vichea, and Sam Rainsy eliminated, or imprisoned, much like Putin.

 

The real scandal, is why all the western power were complicit in this crimes. Where was all the condemnation?

[TheFishman1]

Both of them were totally corrupt. His sister will be coming back soon. TIT.

[jippytum]

Peas in a pod same outlook. Screw justice and democratic systems for the benifit of you and your families

[spidermike007]

I can see the basis for the friendship. Both are morally bankrupt. Both are money grubbers. Both would do anything to acquire more of a fortune. Both are highly compromised, and both are despised by many. And both are very bizarre looking men. Like something out of a comic book, but not the least but funny.

Hun Sen.

Ain't he the guy that caused the best monger bar in Phnom Penh (if not the world) to relocate from near to the jail where one of the Khmer Rouge biggies was being held during his trial?

 

Seems the genocide architect complained that he couldn't sleep because of the late night noise.

I was thinking the same. 

 

Tony's head looks like its been photshopped onto someone elses body in the original photo. I know he has a big head but it really looks odd compared to his best mates.

I guess they are the countries that stood by and did nothing when the Khmer Rouge ran amok!

Yep ,just like Putin. Although he doesn't poison the opposition, but that could be because  his secret agents lack the skills. Or because it's not a Cambodian tradition. In Cambodia you lock them up.
