Wait, there will be a lot more questions about 'conflicts' and other moves that will raise an eyebrow or two

in the coming time, why do you think he came back? because he misses eating Som Tum?...

Always remember that the Shan state in Myanmar used to belong to Thailand, and most people there speak Tai Yai.

 

One solution for the civil war is to return the Shan state to Thailand.

It has been confirmed that Thaksin does not hold a government position and there's no record of the Pheu Thai-led government issuing him any duty in relation to the Myanmar issue.

Yea right that may be so, But he will still pass on the outcome off the meetings to his Puppet and order him what to do.

The headline reads

 

Thaksin's Unofficial Involvement in Myanmar Conflict Questioned

 

If it is unofficial, why is there a hoo haa about it?

 

Is Thaksin not allowed to talk to anybody he wishes to?

 

It is not exactly as though Thailand and ASEAN have achieved anything positive in their talks with the Myanmar junta generals over the decades.

Did he share his plan to converse with these folks with any appropriate person from the Thai gov't.

 

Very doubtful, he sees himself above all.

Why question the legality. He has more negotiating power with these people than anybody else in this government. Whether you like him or not

So an experienced private citizen is not allowed to engage pro bono in assisting neighbours in negotiating their difficulties amongst themselves?

'pro bono' I very much doubt that's in the story (deal).

May take some time to be seen but have a little patience.

Cannot change spots on a leopard. Look at Thaksin and his family's history. This is not going to end well for the common Thai people. They can just wait now for the next hammer to drop.. Only question now is how , where , and when.

Well, Thaksin is the real prime minister for Thailand, right? 

 

Ever since the Pheu Thai party abandoned the Move Forward party and allied itself with the former regime, giving PT the catbird's seat.

 

I mean, the other guy is kinda just like a stunt double, filling in for appearances sake until it's time for the lead man to step foward into the limelight again, having miraculously returned from the proverbial death's door.

Trying to capitalize on the upcoming juntas collapse in Myanmar.

Follow the money! Always a sure fire way of finding out what is going on. I expect that there is some sort of financial incentive for the criminally convicted former fugitive parolee Taksin conducting this excursion to meet the Burmese resistance. He aint doing it for the good of either country. Only to line his, or his buddies, pockets. Maybe, just maybe, to solidify some sort of future power, but money is the best guess. Ka-ching!

Myanmar's strategic location, vast minerals, and natural gas deposits make it an obvious choice.

 

Russia and China have been buddying up with the Junta since they over-threw the elected government.

 

Thailand just goes wherever the the winds blow.

Why not send him an email and ask him?

 

I don't think he would have confided to anybody on AN, so nobody here would know.
