animatic Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Indyuk can you please tell me if you are talking about THAKSIN Shinawatra spelt with a TH and presently living in Dubai as a convicted fugitive or Taksin who was actually King Taksin spelt with a TA whose correct name is Somdet Phra Chao Taksin Maharat; Thai: สมเด็จพระเจ้าตากสินมหาราช and who was King of Thailand and ruled Thailand between 1767 and 1782? Interestingly both Taksin and Thaksin were removed by military coups. Though the younger has yet to be thrown in a bag and beaten to death. It seems money talks far beyond respect for the rule of law. Need to regain face speaks louder than respect for the legal descriptions and responsibilities of any PTP politicians jobs in government. Ego trumps all in the megalomaniacs mind, and he puts the thumb of barely bridled financial power on the forheads of all who want, need or desire a piece of the pie he offers. There is so much money that even cousins are expendable if he gets what he wants. Only keeping baby sister safe and installed seems to trump his own internal needs, in the short term.

Hoping this is not deemed against forum rules, just elaborating on the difference between King Taksin and 'self-exiled' Thaksin. The first was a king, the latter might just like to be one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballpoint Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Indyuk can you please tell me if you are talking about THAKSIN Shinawatra spelt with a TH and presently living in Dubai as a convicted fugitive or Taksin who was actually King Taksin spelt with a TA whose correct name is Somdet Phra Chao Taksin Maharat; Thai: สมเด็จพระเจ้าตากสินมหาราช and who was King of Thailand and ruled Thailand between 1767 and 1782? Interestingly both Taksin and Thaksin were removed by military coups. And far more interestingly, Thaksin(deposed criminal fugitive in exile) has been trying to have his name spelt Taksin(a historic king) at every opportunity recently. His sponsored magazine "Voice of Taksin" is a bit of a giveaway. Trying to concoct a slightly more regal image I'm sure. So I gather Taksin was put in a silk bag and beaten to death with sandalwood clubs. Perhaps his renaming and the karma that comes with it will have the same fortunate ending for the Thai populace. Except a Louis Vuitton bag would be more appropriate in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
