Can I put my name down for sloppy seconds? put me down for really sloppy thirds..... errrr.... go ahead, knock yourselves out if that's what you prefer...but I think you guys might be confusing the younger Paethongtarn (on the right) with her older sister Pinthongta (on the left). Perhaps we might restrain ourselves, and cease this oafish behaviour, then again perhaps not. This is the famous Thai/Lao photo of an oarfish. Oarfish? Weren't we talking about acorns and oak trees? That's a famous photo taken in the late 60's or early 70's I believe. 1973. Just six years before son Oaf was sired. IIRC, Thaksin himself worked in KFC and Pojaman worked in Burger King when they were in the US.Nothing wrong with teaching your kids the value of hard work. Or the value of a good publicity stunt? Teaching the value of hard work to your kid takes longer than 24 hours.... Teaching them the value of honesty does, too... but unfortunately, most of those lessons in honesty and other decent human qualities that make for good citizens were never imparted upon his offspring. Complaints had been made of test papers being leaked while Paethongtarn was attending the university's faculty of political science.Paethongtarn scored A- grades in three subjects taught by the same lecturer. There are allegations that the top grades may have been awarded by the lecturer in return for a doctoral scholarship and the purchase of his car and house. The lecturer in question has previously been investigated for alleged corruption Whether one discusses her mother, who along with her uncle and her mother's secretary, were all convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to prison: or her father, who is a convicted criminal fugitive on the run from a different case and has a slew of other cases pending: Paethongtarn, nicknamed Ung Ing, hasn't exactly benefited from good, sound parenting.

It shouldn't make a difference because they likely were of the same character both before and after being "caught." Like all criminals and people in general. The anti-Thaksin crown really didn't get all up in arms until the cancer seemed to be on the verge of spreading to consume the entire body. No one really cared when he was just evading taxes (like an awful lot of people on this board, no doubt), and ripping off his business partners. I still think my supposition is accurate.... especially for those of the limited means/visa run/treading water in Thailand category. So you wouldn't be able to return to Thailand, but you could live rather comfortably just about anywhere else in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah most people wouldn't for tea... it's when they see the private residences, aircraft, seacraft, and orgies with starlets, etc. that they usually let their initial moral issues go. Any billionaire and most XXX hundred million and up net worth folks have security concerns. All conveniently sold as package services not unlike your TrueVisions cable service.

dave9988 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) The political system is simple. If the last guy goes to jail, then the next guy might send you to jail. Abhisit looks like he gets more out of smiling in front of the camera, but already you see the army demanding their payment for installing the administration. You really believe the corruption is over, or that is the reason Thaskin was kicked out? lolz... delusional lot.

But surely you can't seriously mean it was better, 1-2 years ago, under a military-appointed junta, than now with elected-MPs forming coalition governments ?

It's just good to get the comfortable old corruption we know best back, rather than the knows-no-limits-will-he-ever-give-up corruption of the Thaksinista variety.

Yes, MP-coalitions are better than a military-appointed junta, not that any government in Thailand rules without the support of the military, look at poor PM-Somchai floundering about for example. So you now say that things have improved, over a year or two ago, which is the opposite of your original post. Not sure that I'd agree with you it is a "huge step in the right direction", but a small step certainly, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sriracha john Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Will his kids be entering politics anytime soon? They haven't just yet directly, although Oaf campaigned for PPP MP's in the last general election... BUT no doubt they will all become much more active at some point... Afterall, politics IS a family business for the Shinawatra clan.... Yaowapa Wongsawat, a younger sister of deposed prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, would lead Puea Thai Party members in the North. With the big Shinawatra family tree... he's covering more ground with the "only people" he trusts now... In the Northeast, the leader would be Payap Shinawatra, Thaksin's younger brother. As for the central region and Bangkok, sister Yingluck Shinawatra and the latest.... sister Yaowares Shinawatra has the southern region... General Chaiyasith Shinawatra (left) and donated balls Thaksin cousin asked to head Puea Thai Party General Chaiyasith Shinawatra, a retired general and cousin of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, has been approached to take over as Deputy Prime Minister and Leader of the Puea Thai Party in a new line-up that would pave the way for Thaksin to return to politics.
