April 6, 200520 yr There's a lady in our office who's invited us all to her wedding reception. It turns out the groom is very well connected - they've even been down to Hua Hin to do the "water on hands" ceremony (apologies for not knowing the official title) with HRH himself. Anyways, Thaksin has been invited and has confirmed he'll attend the reception held later this month. Now the majority of Thai staff in the office here are far from his #1 fan, and us farang people here have our own opinions, but it'll be interesting to see how it turns out. Maybe he'll be there for the whole event, or maybe it'll be a quick "Sawasdee" and "Bai laew!". Who knows? If he does stick around and "interact", any messages you would like me to pass on? Apologies in advance for not passing them all on, but I've already got an idea of what sort of response to expect here... (Considered posting this in the public forum but decided against it for fairly obvious reasons...)
April 6, 200520 yr ask him what brand of hair dye he uses. that should get you on the next plane out !
April 6, 200520 yr Trust me. He won't 'interact' ! A friend (who doesn't like him and is very cynical) saw him in Starbucks Langsuan and had a chance to interact, and dissolved into a big pile of jelly, started fawning and complimenting him on a 'great job Mr Prime Minister'

April 6, 200520 yr Ask what his tailor's name is and reply "Aaaaaah!" (rising tone) then suggest another tailor explaining his shirt collars are too tight and cutting off blood circulation to the brain.
April 6, 200520 yr Ask him if he will adopt you since his children are all such successful business people!
April 6, 200520 yr Ask him if he needs someone to sort out his Mia Noy's for him. I'm up for the job. I hear it's very stressful
April 6, 200520 yr On a more serious note... Ask him if he knows Thaivisa.com that should suffice for all the other questions. I'm not gonna ban any future "TAX" user
April 6, 200520 yr Ask him if there are any job openings as driver or gardener. They are supposedly extremely well paid jobs.
April 6, 200520 yr Author All great replies so far Moog, if asked (ho ho ho), I'll say how I feel (polite and more than likely a bit sugar coated though)... Can't speak for the rest of the staff though.
April 6, 200520 yr Can't really ask you to pass on my questions as most of them start with "Why don't you..." and finish with "you half-chinese little git".
April 7, 200520 yr "Good Morning, your most omnipotent gracious most reverend excellent leader of mankind, may I be given the honour of wiping your arse for you "
April 7, 200520 yr We met him last year ( see old news from Surin on my website) but before I could say anything constructive(or destructive) to him I was hustled away by the TV crew (No,not Thai Visa)so they could get a better shot of him planting the new tree that I was supposed to be presenting to him. That was really Thailand.
April 7, 200520 yr Unlike your thread title, make sure you address him as "Dr." Thaksin.... and while on that subject, ask him where one can obtain a copy of his doctoral dissertation.... ??
April 7, 200520 yr Unlike your thread title, make sure you address him as "Dr." Thaksin.... and while on that subject, ask him where one can obtain a copy of his doctoral dissertation.... ?? As an adjunct to that, ask him which language was used to write it. He seems to struggle with English.

As an adjunct to that, ask him which language was used to write it. He seems to struggle with English. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Definitely his PhD thesis would have been written and verbally defended in English at Sam Houston State University, Texas.... the mind reels at figuring how he pulled that off... One theory might be that the school is full of LUNATICS!!!.... as evidenced by the university conferring the following upon him in 2002: The Sam Houston Humanitarian Award was created in 1993 in honor of the 200th anniversary of the birth of American statesman and Texas hero Sam Houston. Selection criteria include evidence of the same qualities exhibited by Sam Houston, including: * Responsible and distinguished leadership and service; * Notable contributions to humanity; * Record of civic and cultural involvement * Pursuit of educational and scholarly quests; and * Empowerment of others toward equality for humankind. ____________________________________________________ That sure doesn't sound like our good ol' Mr. T. Good thing they gave it to him in 2002 before this great Humanitarian massacred 2,500 people in 2003.
April 11, 200520 yr "Good Morning, your most omnipotent gracious most reverend excellent leader of mankind, may I be given the honour of wiping your arse for you " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> With your tongue?
April 11, 200520 yr "Good Morning, your most omnipotent gracious most reverend excellent leader of mankind, may I be given the honour of wiping your arse for you " With your tongue? Welcome back K. p1p...it's been so long and we have so much "catching-up" to do!
April 12, 200520 yr Ask him why the top of his head is so unnaturally flat. Before he has time to answer, put your drink on it and tell him you have to nip to the bathroom for two minutes.
April 12, 200520 yr Unlike your thread title, make sure you address him as "Dr." Thaksin.... and while on that subject, ask him where one can obtain a copy of his doctoral dissertation.... ?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> KSR
April 12, 200520 yr Ask him why the top of his head is so unnaturally flat.Before he has time to answer, put your drink on it .... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Isn't that the answer to a joke about Australian women? (Sorry Doc, not MY joke ).

(Sorry Doc, not MY joke ). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Australian men consider a flat head and great balance to be an important asset in modern woman. It is not totally an Aussie thing. Bill Clinton was a great supporter in America, and he gave new meaning to being on the presidential staff
April 19, 200520 yr ask him if he knows anyone he hasn't had shot that you can score some puff from <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Love it
April 19, 200520 yr Author ask him if he knows anyone he hasn't had shot that you can score some puff from <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Love it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Or ask if I can share his....

April 23, 200520 yr Author The bone-idle ###### didn't even bother turning up! Ah well, it was still an opportunity for everybody in this office to get tarted up. May post some pics of the event on this thread in the future...
April 23, 200520 yr The bone-idle ###### didn't even bother turning up! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Could've been one of those "I've invited Thaksin to our wedding" which somehow became " Thaksin is coming to their wedding". or... He woke up that morning and thought he'd spend the day counting 1000 baht notes in the shed instead.
