Thai Airways To Sue Pad For 20 Billion Baht

[Samuian]

This will be as fruitless as one of Thaksin's dozens of defamation suits.

looks like it is comin' this way, out of the fog, where it will disappear into and vanish...

[TAWP]

So they're going to sue PAD but what exactly is PAD? A registered business? A registered charity? A legally recognised organisation? Just what exactly is it they are going to sue? What assets does it have? hmm....

Agree. To sue who?

They have loads of fake 1,000 Baht notes.

Have you been printing them again? Wouldn't be beneath you, trying to walk in 'Thaksins The Greats' footsteps.

THAILAND - RUN BY TERRORIST AND FOOLS

Very good to sue PAD which name should be People Acting like Dogs.

Thailand is mentally ill, and most ill is PAD.

How come that a terrorist organization can run a country? It's so stupid one can hardly believe it.

These monkeys should be sent back to the jungle and leave civilized thais alone!

PAD is the only party that should be banned because of committing crimes, vandalism and terrorism.

What has happened in Thailand lately is nothing but terrorism, and a majority elected government has to leave! PAD is an extremely active minor group having no widely support by the thaipeople.That's a loss for Thailand, the democracy and a victory for terrorism.

PAD show no respect for anything or anyone included the democracy, and they have made Thailand a bad place to stay. They almost created sivilian war!

Therefore I am leaving the country with my family. I cannot take the chance on letingt my children grow up in a country like this. We had a good time here earlier, but now the love is gone.

Oh, I think a lot posters are just jealous.

Not everyone has the ability or courage to close down an international airport.

[Kerryd]

This is funny !!!!

TG wants to sue PAD for 20 BILLION baht ! That equals about $571 million USD.

Meanwhile, their ENTIRE fuel bill for the ENTIRE year, is only expected to be $200 million US (35% of their total operating cost).

They were expecting the annual loss this year (for the WHOLE year) to be approx $271 million US.

So they are suing PAD for double their expected loss for the whole year, (with hefty executive bonuses added in of course) !

Actually, it works out that $571 million US, is what costs Thai to operate for an entire year (fuel, wages, maintenance, fees, etc).

So they want PAD to pay all their costs for an entire year.

That's one way to show a profit. It'll never happen, but if it did, I could see all the executives giving themselves big bonuses next year, and congratulating themselves for "turning Thai around and showing a profit" !

Good luck with that !

Do not give up your day job!

Are you implying that there is a problem with my numbers or calculations ?

Interestingly enough it looks as though this post could well have been written by a Thai person.

This mirrors the thoughts of many Thai people I know. They have to earn a living and bring up a family in this political & economic environment and they are not happy about it at all. Especially the airport fiasco, which is particularly embarrassing for those Thais that work with foreigners/abroad etc.

The fact that there are foreign people on here wishing some Thai people a safe journey out because they feel they cannot live in their own country anymore is a little sad and shows that they are rather out of touch with thinking about how the issues affecting the normal working person here.

My apologies if Pornthep isn't a Thai person but they certainly have mirrored many Thai peoples' thoughts and feelings.

That's correct.

Only fools will do so, supported by military know how, tactics and mysterious sources of enormous money supply to back up the PAD operations....

In the end it's -again- the old elite, running the country as they please, wished for and succeeded, for the time being.

But..in the end it is ALWAYS the people who win...always, and not the fools. Never ever underestimate the power of the people...

In the meantime it's the country as a whole who lost by closing the airports.

My Man Laopo!, It is what it is. The majority will have there voice in the end through. Albeit messy.

The hardships they did not create: yet they are the victims? What other options do the majority have? Revolution.

It is what is and...it will be interesting.......

I love the Thais. The majority that is...Best friends I've ever had.

Agreed: the facetious responses that were allowed to stand after this post do appear to break the forum rule of "Useless Criticism". I can't see what such deadbeat replies are meant to accomplish.

I hope they get every penny, but i would also like justice to be served via the courts for the 12 core leaders, 25 years each rotting in Bangkok Hilton seems fair

My thinking as well.

In any event Porntheps post actually was well considered, unlike the reply from JD And even that is a literary work of art compared to the one before it!

Your posts are always well considered CM and I keep an eye out for them. Perhaps more of us can learn from your thoughtfull posting.

Thai will get their money if the Dems get it. It will be under the umbrella of Nationalism. Thai people must be proud to keep Thai Airways in business.

Most Thais I know don't refer to their fellow Thais as monkeys, but I suppose that's just the caliber of Thais I know.

Its called negotiation, aim high settle lower, and hopefully break even or turn a coin. But if you start at exact numbers, you can be for sure Thai Air will have to settle for less.

The Thais I know can read, write & think critically (an oddity) but they all have another thing in common, they dispise the PAD.

Yeah, maybe Chamlong can negotiate to keep his left slipper, too.

Maybe Thai wants to win these imaginary billions that no one has and no one will ever pay, and enter them into their books in the assets column.

That would be a nice turnaround for the company and execs can claim even bigger bonuses.

Agreed!!! The PAD leadership should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, both in the criminal courts and civil courts! If these gangsters are not made an example of then Thailand will become regarded as a lawless land and will not only lose a substantial ammount of future tourisim, but more importantly they will lose future investment Dollars It would be an ironic turn of events, if over the next decade Cambodia became the tourist mecca and the new indistrial center of S.E. Asia, and Thailand slipped back into the third world
