Thaksin's New Passport Name: Takki Shinegra

[DickFarang]

The Takki story.

You know, you really couldn't make this stuff up.

I am eagerly awaiting a major Hollywood movie along with a Broadway musical on the lines of Evita!

What to name it? Why, Takki, or course. Or perhaps Redshirts!

Who should play Takki?

I propose Jack Nicholson --

Don’t cry for me, Land of Smiles.

[crazyswede]

Wife saids´accidentally changed names´means good luck , Thai authorities changed her first name and the kids last name when they issued their new passports, lets see what this will bring Mr. Takki!

[ballpoint]

Tis but thy name that is my enemy;

Thou art thyself, though not a Shinawatra.

What's Shinawatra? it is nor hand, nor foot,

Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part

Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!

What's in a name? that which we call a Thaksin

By any other name would smell as rotten;

[dseawarrior]

Long Live Kakki, You are the best and you will be best... God is with you he will help you out. let those barking dogs bark, they will soon die barking...

not Takki

not Kakki

more like...

Shakey Viagra

[h90]

My name is Smith, John Smith.....

You can't check all Smiths if they might be a camouflaged Shinawatra.

But you can check all Shinegras.

I think soon there will be a sex change and a female name...

Wonder how long it will be before this story is shown to be just another sad PR stunt by the Foreign Ministry, as they know no Thai journalists will bother to fact check before printing it.

Seeing as the report mentions 'several African countries' having given him a new passport and then lists Nicaragua, Uganda and Montenegro as the countries in question, I have my doubts about it's accuracy.

Read, people. Read. Where does it say or even hint at Nicaragua, Uganda and Montenegro being African countries? Bats.

Ermm,lost the reading glasses lately?/

[Samuian]

Makes one wonder, this nick, or a very close one, has been used a many times before here in TV for his nick'.

Suits his all over Character really well!

But I do keep doubts about the genuinity of this "News",

it might very well be another media stunt to keep his name up in circulation!

Maybe he goes high on this!

"Ah, see, more news about me every day!"

What are the chances the whole story is not true.

[007]

Takki Shinegra?? Should it perhaps read Khun Tacky Shenanigan?

[scorecard]

"Problems can happen when we ask foreign countries to extradite him. We name him in our request as Thaksin Shinawatra but when those countries check his presence, they would not find him because he used different name," Panich said.

Problems?

How's about you tell the foreign countries what that different name is.... Takki Shinegra?

Sorted.

Well I cannot believe that the extradition processes (which involves a large percentage of the countries in the world) do not provide well constructed ways and means of grabbing people regardless of whether they have changed their names or travel under aliases.

Surely the world is a little more sophisticated.

Read the complete article (1^st post) including the titles.

AKA - also known as.

Mr T, aka Thaksin, Takki The Fugutive

The Chinese and Thais are very superstitious about their names and choose them with great care.

The anagram of his previous name Thaksin Shinawatra became:

"Harsh snake in a twit" and also "A shark, in with Satan"

... which he probably no longer thought suitable.

To keep up with the moment he changed it to Takki Shinegra, the anagram of which is:

"Hate A, irks King" and other hidden messages, but I don't want to get into trouble exposing them here.

[monkfish]

I don't think God will help a traitor. Don't you think so?

This depends on if he is a traitor.

But better let God be the judge on that.

Would a Coup be grounds for treason?

[khaowong1]

So this means, and I never knew it was this easy; "original name" has was a warrant for his/her arrest. By changing name tags, we don't recognize the person because we can't get past the name tag? And therefore, they become invisible, or can't legally be arrested, because no one is anything more than a name?

Thai politics, aka ludicrous, that doesn't make sense either I gather. oy!

you have to understand... the Thai govt. is explaining to the Thai people why they can't find Tacky... since most Thai people have no clue how things work outside Thailand, they will believe this explaination... see...

[phazey]

I knew an old man called Takki,

Who's ideas were rather whacky.

He changed his name,

So he could board a plane,

And become Cambodia's lackey.

[khaowong1]

Next time I pass through imigration...and have a few days overstay on passport....I'll simply wear a "Hi My Name is Bob" sticker on my shirt and save a few hundred baht.

dam_n, I just spit Singha out my nose, now the girls in the internet coffee shop are giving me dirty looks...

[capt_canada42]

He should call himself Donald Duck, wouldn't be far from the truth...

Heh watch it Donald Duck is a good friend of mine !

[ThaiSunshine]

new name, same crappy content

[Thormaturge]

It's 1st April, yes?

[Jimjim]

Is it April Fool's already?

[Meridian007]

:D I concur on his new name being Tacky Shenanigans!

I will say this for the man, he never stops providing entertainment.

[Hermanus]

Takki Singha or Takki Chang are also nice names !!!

Lets drink on it boys and girls because Taksin has a very nice name now

When he comes back we call him Takki Outlaw or anyone any other suggestion?

[thaibkk]

this is a late halloween or april's fools day, right

that would be too easy for all the criminals in the world to follow

anyway, in my home country, some group of people just flee back to their home country (specially north-africa) to get away from prosecution and never to be found to stand trial or pay damages

[Moruya]

a square faced embezzler named Tak,

in absentia was given the sack,

for amassing such wealth,

from crime and by stealth,

and now the courts want it all back.

[hhiser]

if I ever get into porn, that will be my screen name...

Nice, but there are better porn names in Thailand. My favorite right now is Wipawee, could do BDSM with that 1!

I would like an official moderator ruling on whether we are allowed now to refer to Thaksin as

Takki Shinegra

or

Takki

as it is against forum rules to refer to politicians in anything other than their actual names (nicknames are verbotten).

As he has named himself

Takki Shinegra

or

Takki

it seems reasonable now for us to be allowed to do the same here on this forum.

Ruling please?

And if the answer is yes,

who can we call Bones, Sulu and Scotty?

[junglist]

Look more like he going to plead insanity or maybe multi personality disorder. I say make Thaksin and Sonthi fight it out Mauy Thai style. Two men enter one man leave and end all this crap.

[robertson468]

By any name, he will always be remembered as the Right Hon. Khun T.

And a good job you put a space between the Khun and the T my Friend. I am a little surprised that he didn't adopt his "Frankie, I did it my way" pseudonym!
