churchill Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is confident that he can return to Thailand in six months, Kwanchai Praiphana, chairman of the Udon Thani Loving Club, said Saturday. Kwanchai said he met Thaksin in Dubai and he expressed the confidence that the political situation would change and the Democrat-led government would collapse so he would be able to return in six months. Kwanchai said Thaksin also promised that he would return to serve the people by returning to politics.

Soutpeel Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thaksin also promised that he would return to serve the people by returning to politics. ..This guy should be a stand up comic...Thaksin will "serve" the people, put his hand in the till and serve himself, the same as he did the first time round....

ukrules Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I look forward to his return, arrest and subsequent imprisonment. I doubt it will happen though. A law prohibiting anyone with certain convictions from standing for political office could help to solve a lot of problems in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) He clearly just wants to stay in the top of people's minds. Not a bad strategy for what its worth. In some ways it doesn't matter what foolishness he spews, as long as it is newsworthy. His other clear strategy is to hope that people forget his miserable failure during black Songkran. I still think at this point it is highly likely that he has serious mental health issues. Edited August 1, 2009 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdanielsesq Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thaksin would be good for the country - it can only get better - besides, everyone will want to check him out. The lost prodigal son, reborn. Tourism will flourish, A380's will be fast tracked, Baht=$45, free very cold Chang, Buy on BG, get one free, etc, et al. All kinds of good things will happen. Nothing to complain about on TV. Bummer - keep him in exile. BR>Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nation -- The Nation 01/08/09http://www.nationmultimedia.com/news/30108858/Thaksin-confident-he-can-return-to-Thailand-in-6-m this announcement is utter mockery! blah blah blah Years ago a Mr. Taksin promised to solve Bangkok's traffic problems within 6 month. The outcome of this promise is widely known... He can return now! Why in 6 month...? Truly he must be a very desperate man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animatic Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) He can come back to Thailand in 6 hours or less. He can be here for breakfast if he chooses to. But he doesn't... He wants to CONTROL Thailand when he returns, a much taller order. Here's hoping his delusions of power here get the better of him, he does come back, and right into stir like a good little muffin, and await his other court dates like a hot crossed bun in a heatwave. All the sweet stuff's melted and dripped on his PRATinum cuff links. Edited August 1, 2009 by animatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krading Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 According to my missus he was corrupt but in a better way than the present regime. She says the new lot are stripping the south of timber, borrowing from the US and diverting the funds, no money getting through to schools and hospitals, etc etc . At least Taksin put the money taken from ya ba sellers to good use. He was the best of a bad lot and the sun still shines out of his bum. Khun Taksin come home, we miss you.

I still think at this point it is highly likely that he has serious mental health issues. Yeah, once the UK Government revoked his visa T hadn't any choice but to become a global nomad, a man without a country. Think about being a man without a country. I'd say that's when he seriously began to lose it. Certainly, his maladies have rapidly intensified since. Imagine him back in the LOS. Of course it just ain't gonna happen, but thinking of it is an absolute horror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did some morally exemplary and globally respected international Thai humanitarian pass away? No just another mini-hagiograph for Thaksin from some newbie posting on TVF for hours, so far not even days. Joined today, Post # 7 And the rest just building a rep in short bursts it appears... #1 My condolences to the families 22:08:08 or 10 AM east coast USA time, where the Thaksin PR firm is... #2 My condolences to the Thai people. Surly the final nail in the coffin for tourism. 22:09:22 #3 What a shame. If only Walter Cronkite were alive 22:11:17 #4 What a shame. My condolences 22:13:03 #5 My condolences to the Walker family 22:13:48 #6 Truly a tragedy. My condolences to the Thai people 22:14:30 #7 A true statesman. He will be missed. My condolences to the family 22:15:21 Gee wiz; see the pattern? 1/2 hour rep building and off to another site to post. One dig at the government and one plug for Thaksin. And the rest boiler plate, building message count, and maybe looking sympathetic. Blog infiltration 101 Edited August 1, 2009 by animatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongeman Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Strange how this news and the fine for jay walking came in at the same time.....thats how they are going to deter him from coming back. With the King Power troubles and the tourists being menaced, not to mention the taxis,they could employ him as troubleshooter for the area. At the moment its open season there, with Thaksin it would be the nice kind of corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dale8 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hello, Santa Claus will go to Thailand in the next 6 months too. This is another load of manure from a Thaksin supporter that might be paid for his loyalty. The only thing Thaksin will serve is time in a prison when or if he returns to Thailand. Cheers.
