Wonder who paid for the "red dress"

[A Member]

She made a speech, wonder if it came with a translation and did she try to run away when someone approached to thank her?

What's the need to highlight the colour of her dress, red signifies luck in Chinese culture.

[mrtoad]

Dis she say "thank you, three times" at the end of her speech?

At least she got the right piece of paper and didn't get into explaining why reducing rice prices was good for farmers.

[Ricardo]

I wonder whether the happy-couple were showered with rice, as in some farang wedding-traditions, as a sign of fertility & wealth ?

Self-exiled Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra also called in to congratulate the bride and groom

That's a bit misleading...

It was actually a pre-recorded message

And shouldn't that be ex-prime minister?

Red is a common colour for Chinese weddings. I don't read too much into this.

I read more into the picture 2, an interesting picture with "Moddum", from memory the son of one of the gang of 16 our esteemed MP from Chachoengsao Suchart Tancharoen who alledgely profited from Saxena's meddling during the period of the Bank of Commerce crisis in 1995, when Thaksin was a member of the government (although likely not connected at all to this scam):

This is the politician Thaksin described as 'most dubious', but of course, that was prior to 'most dubious' becoming deputy house speaker during TRT 1 (with Thaksin's blessing):

Seems fitting that the PM would make the effort to take a picture with such a fine upstanding member of the community, whose mother was charged with green card fraud (Sarah Srilah Tipfun):

Probably equally worthless with pictures "who actually gives a shyt about who's wedding she was attending, where they are going on their honeymoon or what colour dress she was wearing"

And shouldn't that be ex-prime minister?

and "Self-exiled".....infers he can come back any time he wants, so why is he waiting for the "faithful" to bring him home....

so wouldnt the more factual line be... "fugitive ex prime minister"

Obviously a result of all the in-breeding between the Thai hi-so familes marrying into each other

what's so funny?

[Pimay1]

It's nice to see PM Yingluck has her priorities in order. Not one single word from her (the self proclaimed champion of women's rights) on the poor Karen child that was tourtured. Can you spell hypocrite?

[aussieinthailand]

Well people I think she looks great in the dress, without been in rude, I think she is a very well spoken woman and a classy dresser, why turn a family function into a political issue?

maybe the next wedding I attend i'll wear a bright orange tux!!! now that's classy yeah;-)

The Shinawatras are Thailand's social (dare I say it?)"royalty".

They are happy to be front and center of everything and thus, whether they like it or not, offer themselves up, one and all, for lampooning and comments both favorable and less complimentary.

Yes, she's a 'well spoken' woman, in her native tongue, as are millions of other Thais.

She is a classy dresser indeed, but, in her own sweet way, so was Miss Piggy.

It was going swimmingly until the well spoken bit.

Thank you 3 times.

I would have thought they would join the group flight with the others to Hong Kong
