He could be paroled earlier for good behavior after six months.

  • His vocabulary list will prolly consist of words like manipulation, graft, corruption, hidden agenda and likely puppet

What happened to Thaksin did he get sacked from the sh@t farm ?? Well it was a crap job and the pay is pretty sh@tty.

Correction: He's fluent in English, as is his sister Yingluck. Unlike many English posters on AN.

And rice, kow

Prison is a terribly boring place for anyone to be.

 

I feel bad for Mr Thaksin.

 

I am glad he wil do something productive like teach English.

As Taksin has a Doctorate in Criminology from Sam Houston State University, and has lectured at Mahidol University, maybe he should be teaching criminology.

It's very messed up. Elected leaders are imprisoned under new constitutions drafted by military regimes, while the leaders run free, lauded as heroes.  

 

Everyone is hating on Thaksin, but he could have continued to live his life of luxury abroad, yet he came back for his reckoning.

His doctorate is in criminology. Surely he should be teaching how to avoid being a criminal? Or how to avoid being caught. 

Morgan Freeman has the best idea

Morgan Freeman stated the best way to fight racism is to quit talking about it.

 

How do you make Thaksin even less significant ....quit talking about him !

Do you know what criminology is? No?

 

Thought not.

... Just When You Thought Things Couldn't Get Any Uglier ... (?)

... First We Had ... 'Supervise The Cleaning Crew' ... (?)

 

...Maybe 'Food Taster' ... (?)

 

... 'Masseuses Evaluator' ... (?) (Surprised His Think Tank Didn't Come Up With That One Yet)(!!!)

IF he is fluent in English, he is one of a very rare breed of Thai's who can. Our local Central Plaza always comes out as 'Centan, and Plaza might just as well be dead as it is NEVER used.

 

I think that rather depends on who you mix with. I am far from moving in "hi so" circles but know several Thais who speak English quite well.

 

Pronunciation of "r" and "l" are "dead spots" amongst many, perhaps most South East Asians when speaking Thai.

Taksin: Here is a book go study, I am going back to the cell with my Mia noi... I am the greatest, the savior of Thailand.

I notice the neck brace is back in the very recent photos.

"Thaksin Shinawatra May Teach English in Prison"

 

Well, out of prison it’s too dangerous! 😂

Does he have a TEFL qualification?

Yes, Tinglish. His spoken English is nowhere near native speaker.
