Thaksin To Meet Myanmar Leader Next Week

[Buchholz]

On Friday, Thaksin is scheduled to meet with some key Pheu Thai MPs

They are well on their way to the 10 million Red Shirts to amass at the border to escort Thaksin back.

The other paper reports that all eight Pheu Thai Party MP's from Korat, along with 400 Red Shirts plan to meet Thaksin in Burma.

That only leaves 9,999,592 reds to go.

Kwanchai will probably be making a statement to confirm success soon.

#1: The ousted premier will also meet a group of Thai businessmen and some Thais next Friday

His legal advisor brushed aside a question that his planned private visit to the neighbouring country would cause trouble to Thai police tasked to track and return him to stand trial in Thailand, saying his client's outstanding arrest warrant was the result of a coup which is unacceptable to the international community. (MCOT online news)

#4: On Friday, Thaksin would meet leading Pheu Thai MPs

Some Thai now identified as 'leading Pheu Thai MPs', probably to hand him the latest arrest warrents. Obviously all a result of the coup and without any well founded relation to misbehaviour or mistakes before that time.

#14: Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Surapong Towichukchaikul said he had no knowledge of Thaksin's plan to visit the neighbouring country, adding that he had not spoken to him for a while and that the Thai Embassy in Myanmar had not told him about the pending visit.

I guess Dept. PM and MoFA Surapong doesn't read newspapers, watch television, ignores his facebook messages and other email sources. The Thai version of the 'far from my bed' show, nothing to do with me. Keep smiling while still busy trying to formulate a report for the Ombudsman regarding a minor issue of a passport to a fugitive criminal he doesn't know the whereabouts of

That guy to the right in the OP pic, is that his double?

Dept. P< and MoFA Surapon has been too busy to search for k. Thaksin apart from trying to stay away from 'politically motivated issues of course.

In the mean time he did find time to have a meeting on Thursday with ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda to discuss the steps Thailand would be required to take if it is to accept ICC jurisdiction. The other newspaper has an interesting article on k. Surapong urges govt to accept ICC jurisdiction. Now don't worry, on an ad-hoc basis only of course with clear description of items to be investigated. Only "to deliver justice to those who died," he said.

He said Thaksin would only pay a courtesy call on Thein Sein as an old friend and would not discuss the deepsea port or other projects. He said Thaksin would not negotiate any business deals with Thein Sein and that the Thai government, led by Thaksin's sister Yingluck Shinawatra, would not have conflicts of interest when negotiating the deepsea port project with Myanmar.

How very interesting, didnt the fugitive criminal already cause a conflict of interest for Yingluck?

"The Dawei project is important for Yingluck as it was initiated by her elder brother and former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra years ago. It is Yingluck’s mission to make Thaksin’s dream come true.......... Thaksin, who has good connections with Myanmar leaders, paved the way for his younger sister to build up the project since her arrival in office and her visit to Myanmar for the first time last year. Thaksin reportedly visited Myanmar a few days ahead of Yingluck. He also visited the Dawei project’s site as well as discussed with Myanmar leaders possible industries to operate in the Dawei project". http://www.tavoyanvo...er-dawei-dream/

Very strange isn't it. He had no problems with conflict of interest when he re-instated paying a huge subsidy on rice.

He also doesn't talk with his cousin the PM who his other cousin, Thaksin, calls several times a week.

If true, I personally do not think it is, but is this the only thing that Thailand has done that would have been unacceptable to the international community? And does Thailand really care what the international community thinks?

Moreover does the so called international (apart from immediate neighbors) community really give a flying F&^%# about LOS?

If they wanted to test if the international community really cared, the could just 'scoop' him up and repatriate him and see just how much of an international outcry followed!

Breaking news in the other paper has 5,000 Red Shirts heading to the border as the total gets closer to the magic number.

"The ousted premier will also meet a group of Thai businessmen and some Thais next Friday."

Aren't Thai business men and Thais all the same?

I hope he'll also meet a 'Full Metal Jacket.'---
