midas Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Words escape me to say how I felt when I read this I realise TIT but it's really rich for him to say this Fugitive Thaksin : Protesters seizing airports must respect law By The Nation Fugitive ex-Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has called for anti-government protesters who seized Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang airports to respect the laws or face legal action. He warned that if they did not respect the law, "law enforcement must be done." Thaksin has been on the run after being sentenced in absentia to two years in jail on corruption charges in Thailand.

tijnebijn Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) There is much more going on then you can read in the media , nothing you see what appears hypocritical is for nothing . If things will go all the way to one side , thailand could very well go in a direction the western world considers as dictatorial . My advise is to better your thai and open your ears very well and listen very carefully what the people on the streets are talking about .

Well tijnebijn I would love to do just that but for the whole six years I have lived in Thailand I had never found anyone who is remotely interested or prepared to talk politics! It's such a taboo subject and that's the problem here how can they work things out unless they're ready to have an open discussion? Please enlighten me what are they saying on the streets?

davejonesbkk Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) Wonder who that was calling him at the end? Somchai asking for new orders? Edited November 29, 2008 by davejonesbkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovenman Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Wonder who that was calling him at the end? Somchai asking for new orders? "Sir, would you accept a collect call from a Mister Somchai in Taiwan [sic]?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuian Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Fugitive Thaksin : Protesters seizing airports must respect law Yippiee! Can things go any twistier?

You are right just there Midas , its something they are not alowed to talk about , its too dangerous , and if we were allowed to talk openly in here , your mouth will pop open of surprise . And the puzzle gets together very quickly . I almost can't believe it myself , but like I said don't discuss as a foreigner anything with anyone , just listen !

Crushdepth Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) Fugitive Thaksin : Protesters seizing airports must respect law Thaksin's latest 'interview' on Youtube is quite entertaining. Who is he to demand others respect democracy and rule of law? He's a criminal fugitive on the run and banned from politics for electoral fraud! The jawdropping arrogance of this man is truely breathtaking. The funniest part is when he says that 'law enforcement must be done'!!!!! For once, I agree. Come home Mr Thaksin, we have a cell waiting for you Edited November 29, 2008 by Crushdepth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundman Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 There is a youtube link to the interview on this forum somewhere and I must say I have never seen more hypocritical BS in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayfarer108 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Twisted - asking others to obey the law when he hasn’t; asking others to stand and fight when he has run, twice. The first thought that comes to my mind, in response, is that the Thaksin meme must be eradicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlx Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Thaksin is obviously going to be the downfall of this country... if he was smart and cared about Thailand he would just stay out of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatrickid Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) There is a youtube link to the interview on this forum somewhere and I must say I have never seen more hypocritical BS in a while. Hypocritical - No argument from me on that, but on presentation superb. He was calm, relaxed and full of "warmth" in stark contrast to the PAD leaders that demonstrate hysterics. English interview, so he was talking to an entirely different audience. He got his point across. For those that know nothing about him or the allegations and conviction (under appeal) he will elicit sympathy as the valiant fellow fighting for democracy. At first glance, seems to be a friendly, kindly chap. There was a mirror in the room, but the smoke wasn't visible. He has good image sense.
