Likely his cousin Chaiyasit who was ex Supreme Commander of the RTA 

Or possibly his brother in law  Somchai Wongsawat whom has also sat in the PM seat for a short stint.

Completely misleading headline. Taksin has not spent a single day in prison.

I Think he spent one day just not one night, before taking the helicopter taxi to the hospital!

😁👮‍♂️😂

Agreed.

 

But one key position (which cannot be named) has changed.

 

The Thai people have also changed over the past decade or so, and the Thai economy is going south.

 

Although the military leaders may support the status quo, many of the rank and file do not.

 

Many many Red Shirts are angry at Taksin and the Pheu Thai leaderships' getting into bed with the military who killed so many of their supporters, family members and friends..

 

Interesting times ahead.

 

Same was said years ago during the red shirt/yellow shirt face-off.  In the end the following changes occurred: nothing, zilch, nada, rien, nichts, noppes.  Came here long ago and watched the shenanigans of the dinosaurs then.  30 years later the young politicians then have properly aged into 21st century dinosaurs slovenly followed by a meek Thai populace whose brain washed believe in karma and misplaced admiration if not adulation for hi-sos prevents not just any meaningful change but any change, period.  Now where’s my somtam and fried chicken?
