Thaksin should know that Dubai is not the safe heaven for criminals anymore. Some EU criminals recently found out when Dubai sent them back to their country of origin on request of the authorities.

Oh but do you think think Thailand will request a Red alert on him. Dream on. He's gone. Hope he rots in hell.

What do Tony Woodsome and John Barron have in common? 😊

How come his private jet had sufficient fuel to divert to Dubai? Normally a jet will only carry enough fuel for the intended journey (in this case Singapore) plus a reserve in case a diversion to an alternative airport is required because of bad weather (in this case there are numerous alternative airports within an hour's flying time). A flight to Dubai requires three times as much fuel as a flight to Singapore (more given the actual route that Thaksin's jet took) and pilots would never load that much fuel unless it was the intention to fly to Dubai in the first place.

Articles in the media say his aircraft had enough fuel to fly to London if required to.

And the sooner we accept that's just the way it is, the smoother life becomes in LOS.

 

He finally realised he couldn’t cut any more deals with other parties and when Anutin and the people’s party confirmed their alliance the writing was on the wall for him. Rather than face the consequences for all his dishonesty he fled  like the coward he is. 
Don’t hold your breath to see if he returns for his court appearance on the 9th, that’s typical BS from the liar.

maybe he’ll send a letter like the Red Bull kid did that he was too sick to attend the court course nobody in the government or the police in Thailand know where the red book is LolTIT 

Vorayuth did not do that, his lawyer requested a few delays all agreed to by Thai authorities.  How does just knowing where the "Red book" [sic] is help the RTP?

Thaksin is not a criminal...yet.   As of now, he "served" his first sentence.

I guess that's it for Yingluk coming back. As I said in a previous thread PTP are finished.

so when in YOUR opinion  does he become a criminal ???    in the normal world a person becomes a criminal WHEN convicted by the courts  

if you are saying he has done his time  fine but you are still a convicted criminal  and that is what thaskin is

In my opinion, when he's served his sentence, however dubious, he's no longer a criminal until his next conviction.

...who has served his sentence, hence he is not an active criminal any longer.   He has a criminal record and may be an ex-con but he is not, at the moment, a criminal.

serving time does not erase a criminal conviction, which is a formal finding of guilt by a court. While the time served may be credited to the sentence, the conviction remains on your record, potentially impacting employment, housing, and other aspects of life. Your status as a convicted criminal only changes if the record is expunged or sealed through a legal process, which is a distinct action from completing your sentence

He served his sentence, however dubious (as I said), as agreed to by the prison authorities...until any other decision is made.   What don't you understand?

"Full stop" (jeez...) or not, he's an ex-criminal who's served his sentence as required by the authorities...for the time being.    I have a mate who did time once in the UK 33 years ago, is he "a criminal" today?  No he's not.

Yes.

Definitions of criminal. noun. someone who has committed a crime or has been legally convicted of a crime

You mean the police hospital with a fake medical problem which was all part of the deal to keep the nasty reformists out of government. Do you seriously think he served his time as set down by the courts. Even then his sentence was commuted.

sorry to say but dinsdale does not seem to keep up with the news  think everyone knows where he served his time

All we can do is hope that he stays in Dubai, and relieves Thailand of the effects of that incredibly toxic family. 

 

He probably figured I don't have much more much influence anymore, nobody seems to like me at this point, all the people that used to support me seem to despise me now, my daughter's been kicked out of office, and yet they treated me really well in Dubai, where they seem to worship cash even more than here. Why not just go back?

"Served Time" Means

• Conviction: A formal declaration by a court that you are guilty of a crime. 
• Sentence: The punishment, such as imprisonment, that is handed down after a conviction. 
• Served Time: You have completed your ordered sentence, but the conviction is still legally recorded against you. 

Why You Remain a Convicted Criminal

• Permanent Record:

  A conviction creates a permanent criminal record that can be accessed through background checks. 

• Collateral Consequences:

  Even after completing your sentence, a conviction can have long-term consequences, such as difficulty getting a job or finding housing. 

How to Change This Status 

• Expungement:

  A legal process to seal or clear your record, making it inaccessible to the public and in most background checks.
• Sealing:

  Similar to expungement, this process seals a record, though some agencies may still have access to it.
