"His scheduled appearance in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai from Sunday comes as Iran gears up for elections and as world powers press the Islamic republic over its suspected nuclear program and support for the Syrian regime."

'Suspected' nuclear program?? Really?

Why, do you know something the CIA don't? They have said that " Iran suspended its nuclear weapons program years ago, and that Tehran is not currently attempting to revive it"

Strange that this was said two days ago.

U.S. State Department: Iran Sanctions 'Potentially' Having Impact on Nuclear Program

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324767004578485500795091438.html

Look, everyone in the USA and the middle East is terrified and convinced that Iran is trying to get nuclear weapons.

And in reality they won't be allowed to. So, I wouldn't hang around near his motorcade to close tomorrow.

seeing that he is not eligible to run again in Iran for his same position. Maybe he is in Chiang Mai to apply for a retirement visa.

So it will be in CM? I wonder if local celeb "Gay Nathee" will be on hand to protest the death to homosexuals and/or forced genital change operations of male homosexuals policies in Iran?

When was the last time Iran attacked anyone? Which country in the middle east has hundreds of illegal nuclear weapons? CIA have said Iran are not attempting to produce nuclear weapons. . Stop watching Fox News.

Hmmm, i believe just days ago if not minutes ago.

Supplying weapons to dictators is an act of attacking

Supplying financial help and training for terror groups and acts is also attacking, NO?

Welcome to Chiang Mai. Great leader of a rare democracy in the middle east, deserves respect, but won't get it from the Fox News viewers on here.

He deserves no respect at all. He is a holocaust denier.

That could be a ..... heavy water ..... summit. I wonder if he will get a glowing review, he may even be radiant.

Tom, I believe your witty remarks flew over everyones heads. Good one though..

Did not realize that respect is earned through holocaust opinions

He does not deserve any respect, because he does not respect anyone or anything, including his own people

Agreed. You can make a long list about why he does not deserve respect.

I'm glad someone got it.

If I was mossad, I would see a water conference in Chiang mai as a wonderful opportunity. These people don't watch fox, they deal in opportunity and reality.

Taking him out will not solve the Iran problem, will only delay the program. Do not forget the spiritual leader or whatever

the title is, is the one who runs the country

When posting from the browser on my phone, it just posts in that manner. Sorry.

Hope he made an online appointment with immigration

C'mon, we all know he's really here to study the Ban Fai pyrotechnics

First China, and now I'madinnerjacket shows up.

Choose your friends carefully.

Really dont understand why so many people watch only Fox News and make conclusions... I am NOT a fan of Iran or anything but look at the facts... have Iran ever committed any crime against any nation? Just because Dubya did not like Iran does not mean that Iran is a bad country or everyone in Iran is bad... they are living their lives without committing any war crime against any other nation unlike USA did in Afghanistan, Iraq and thousands of drone attacks in Pakistan...

As for those "keyboard online intellectuals", have you ever heard him speaking? As I mentioned that I am not taking anyone's side but I found him to be a very good speaker... see some clips here...

They hand out Visas to anyone now

The heavier criminals get visas without any questions as opposed to normal human beeings.

But Thailand have much common interests with the criminal Iranian theocracy/ dictatorship.

Iran is not a bad country, but the criminals ruling Iran is very bad. I worked in Iran a one year period and got many Iranian friends. Every one of them knew somebody whom the regime has murdered. They even du it public in many cases. They are comitting crimes against their own people every day. I`m sure it will explode in their face very soon. Just wait until the upcoming election is over, or maybe until the Syrian freedom fight is over. Many Iranians wich the USA or Israel will start bombing becauce that will catalyze the process. They know it will be a blody affair, but so many have suffered for so many years already. How the bast..d speaks dont matter, he`s a dog without any rights to stay in this world. Actually I think the dogs feels he`s a desease carrier. They smells the death better than human beeings.

You got one, so why not to a democratically elected leader of a country??

He is about democratically elected a Thaksin is here.

You can not buy democracy.

Well you are technically rite. In reality he is committing war on his own country.

By the way Hitler was a good speaker.

I am amazed he's coming. God forbid he has a bad fall down some stairs or something.

Watch this space. You think the Thais can provide proper security? Also aren't there meant to 50k protesters in Bangkok?

If they run short the red shirts have 100,000 they aren't using,

I've been to Iran, I've worked there for a few days..

I must say that even compared to Thailand, that Iran has the most friendly and welcoming population of any country I've ever been to.

Never before have I been literally dragged off the street and made to eat dinner and drink tea with a random family!

The country has had it's problems over the years as we all know, but despite what we may call oppression, the "Persian" people themselves are great!

No, that is called unproven propoganda. Killing half a million Iraqi children, that is called attacking.

Off-topic posts deleted. The topic is about a Water Summit.

This government has been developing close ties with Iran since it came to power. Rice for oil. Bartering avoids getting into trouble with the U.S. and Europe over sanctions.

What a surprise TVF 'experts' condemning this. Is this the same President who was invited to the US a few years ago and gave a talk at one of the Ivy League universities. Is there anything that people on here wont complain about? God knows why people even stay living in Thailand. (If at all they do)

Sorry did not realize Iran killed half a million Iraqi children during 8 year Iran-Iraq War

What does Afghan have to do with OP or Iran?

Wow, that's interesting... Thailand such a country where US has influence, and now Iranian president visiting Thailand?

I believe that next decades wars will be about Water instead of Oil.

It has already started in fact: Libya.

Libya was about to finish one of the worlds greatest man made water projects in the middle of the desert. now it's all destroyed and many libyan small towns are struggling to get fresh water.

Water is a resource that the middle east is working hard to secure and western main corporations to monopolize.

The things you don't see on the main-stream news media...

He visits the US as well.

I can't believe they're letting that bum into this country.

They worship the Nazis here. Why shouldn't they?
