I am sure she would rather "Being There" for the shopping!

[Basil B]

May find herself unable to get back in without being arrested when they find documents in her draws that she should have shredded, but did not know how to use the machine, only find herself in self imposed exile like her brother.

[greg71]

Wow she can now boast that she has improved the economy by Not going overseas wasting Thais money .Smart move on her part .

[Loles]

So, she doesn't visit Dubai also but his brother already bought her a suite of rooms with chopper place and a big strong-box for "BAGS".

Deja vu ?

She wants to stay home to monitor the political situation ? Since when did she have any bloody interest in politics anyway ?

And if she really does want to go OS shopping, just go, has she not heard of Skype ? Her criminal brother runs the country with it !

Plus, the THB has weakened.

PM to monitor political situation

Out for some more beer and popcorn, this I have to monitor.

[mikemac]

She only has herself to blame for that. After all, she did say recently that she runs the government, not her slimy brother, so the buck stops with her.

Cancels trip OVER SEIZE of the country by trying to maintain an oligarchy long enough to rape and plunder all the family can get, before escaping for their lives when people will have it no more.

I bet the officials are mighty upset.

[ginjag]

On this occasion she is staying here. With setting the Guinness book of record for overseas trips in 2 years, she had to do all the trips herself, now the record is finalized she is appointing the person that is most suitable for the job, This should have been done on 50% of her trips.

I couldn't quite fathom why a PM who doubles as Minister of Defence goes on endless foreign trips, signing MOUs that will never again see the light of day and then when there's a crisis assigns her Foreign Minister to be charge of home security.

She doesn't get it. She should planning to go on an extended overseas shopping trip.

P.M.s have enough to do without all this BS as doubling up. Defense Minister what sort of defense background has she had ??? While were on the subject how many Deputy P.M. are they ???? if she falls sick do they have a fight night to see who becomes the top dog-just ridiculous. Imagine in the UK the FM is Dep P.M. the Edu-Minister is Dep P.M. and so on. what a farce. you couldn't make it up.

Hey, where are our usual pro red bar fly and keyboard fly trollers to heckle us about how everything PTP does is ok?

It´s amusing enough to see your increasingly desperate attempts to defend the ways of Dear Leader, Suthep Secretary General of the Peoples actions as he overtakes government buildings, forces the media to broadcast what he says is ok and so on.

Reading this forum is better than going to Khao San, people watching, in some regards...

Haha, I dunno, but perhaps they think you guys are doing a great job making yourselves look foolish and no help is needed. I love this place. Could not make up this stuff.
