khaowong1 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 . Going back to when news of her trip was first announced seven days ago, it'll be interesting to see if she is able to achieve her goal of visa-less entry for Thais to New Zealand. . . And now word of further travels for the On The Road Prime Minister that logs more miles than Jack Kerouac. Next week, she's also off to New Zealand. Her and some thirty business types are off in search of more foreign investment. The solicitation is scheduled for five days. She's also there to receive her second Western university degree. To go along with her Masters degree from Kentucky State University, she's adding an honorary doctorate degree from Auckland University of Technology. For her part, she'll be asking the NZ folks to waive visas for Thais wishing to go there. From there, she's then off to Papua-New Guinea. She's due to return to Thailand at some point in April. . It's been years since I've been to Papua-New Guinea, but if nothings changed there too much, I can't see too many Thai's using it as a tourist destination. just saying.

attento Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 King Albert was no doubt only too pleased to send Crown Prince Philippe far away. Belgium has many problems now, and with Philiipe looking a most unsuitable successor to the throne. But, the beer is good ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equalizer Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I dont know why, but when i looked at that picture she reminded me of Thatcher, Ma'galet i mean! maybe she will be there for decades, who knows!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdoom6996 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Entertaining the Belgium Royals here, then immediatly flying off to N.Z. and Papua with a host of ministry and trade officials. Yesterday on T.V. I saw a picture of the parliament in session, out of hundreds I could count about 25 in attendance. What do the M.Ps. do when not attending. They should be fined for non attendance. Am I over the top with my points about the P.M. seams mostly too busy to be in the country running the job, and always seams to be missing when serious issues are needed attending to- and when questions need to be asked. All coincidence ?? It's obvious that she is not at ease being in Thailand. She takes every little opportunity to leave the country. Who would fly to Belgium the meet the Royals!!?. Nobody in the world is interested to meet them…uhh..except for Yingluck. Her house in on fire and she goes to Belgium!!! What a joke! She is basically doing the job of the FM, and the FM is Thaksin's assistant. What a mess. Did you even read the article???????????? I don't like her either, but come on she's in NZ and PNG. If you don't know where they are, Google them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always fun to watch. Wasn't it 2000 something in South Africa that a fool stormed unto the field to accost the referee and two All Blacks came to the rescue to a point I almost felt sorry for the fool? I'm afraid that's one of the most embarrassing differences with 'world class' football (aka socker). If a fool manages to get to the field to have it with the referee, all highly paid football players would just standby and watch to avoid a possible injury Edited March 21, 2013 by rubl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbandung Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 We live in PNG, Thai missus for 3 and a half years, me 18. It is relatively as dangerous as any poor country where you are obviously far wealthier than the average punter. Kind of like Thailand really, just more primitive. You just need to accept where you are and keep your wits about you and not ask for trouble. The funny thing about Yingluck's visit is that we have been invited to every function and the missus doesn't want to go. "What do I want to meet her for?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course many people are laughing at the joke, but the sad thing from his point of view is that they are not laughing at the Prime Minister, they are laughing at him! Oh dear!

Squigy Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Damn that girl can shop. not much to buy on PNG except energy which Thailand desperately needs. How do you propose Thailand access energy suppliers? She can purchase beetlenut and sell it back in Thailand! But seriously Thailand could bring another aspect to the resource sector here that would IMO get the other parties a little rattled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squigy Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Damn that girl can shop.not much to buy on PNG except energy which Thailand desperately needs. How do you propose Thailand access energy suppliers?Why not the energy minister go alone to do his job. At home she cannot speak on his matters leaves it all to him---BUT a trip abroad and she then goes and does his job--Strange, no -it's called running from most of your dutiesTo be fair, sometimes having the top dog also there helps to smooth over any last minute sticking points though the deals are already done in most cases. Even the buying of energy is shopping is it not? When our Dear leader' returns from her shopping sojourn she will be armed with a giant stuffed cuddly toy in the shape of a kiwi, a greestone pendent and a promissory note for a couple of million barrels of palm derived oil. In return, the people of PNG get half a million Pok Pok frogs whos main use would appear to be for the gathering of dust. Could be she is getting a few pointers in corruption from PNG!

Nickymaster Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Auckland University of Technology (AUT) will confer PM Yingluck with the honorary doctorate degree for her remarkable role on the international stage and as the first elected female Prime Minister of Thailand. . The balderdash of the first reason is dropped in other media.... In New Zealand, Ms. Yingluck will be granted an honorary doctoral degree from Auckland University of Technology, for her becoming the first Thai female Prime Minister to visit that country. http://61.19.244.31/centerweb/newsen/NewsDetail?NT01_NewsID=WNECO5603210010006 .

"Hi, you are the first Thai Female Prime Minister to visit NZ, here is you doctoral degree" What a Mickey Mouse University this must be. What's next....?

cycloneJ Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) 1 Thai PM Yingluck Shinawatra is welcomed at Government House - Source: ONE News 2 Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra inspects the Royal New Zealand Navy band at Government House, in Auckland, on her first official trip to New Zealand. (Photo: Simon Wong/3 News) 22 March 2013 The New Zealand Government has expressed a willingness to speed up visa processing for Thai citizens visiting the country for business, study and pleasure. Prime Minister John Key made the announcement at a joint press conference with Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra this afternoon, but added this was a long-term plan. “It’s not going to be immediate.” Ms Shinawatra was welcomed to New Zealand on her first official visit to New Zealand. Speaking at Government House in Auckland this afternoon, Ms Shinawatra said it was important to speed up the visa process because of growing numbers of Thai students choosing to study in New Zealand. Mr Key said up to 3000 Thai students travel to New Zealand to study at secondary and tertiary levels each year. source Edited March 23, 2013 by metisdead : Copyrighted photos removed.
