Popular Post Baerboxer Posted May 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hahaha. This is becoming a complete and utter circus. How many heads are they going to cut, until there is a backlash? Ignoring politics - try hard for a minute. Was this man really suitable for the job and was he carrying out the duties of an ambassador to a major country to the required high standard? I have no idea, do you? But I suspect the Thai Foreign Ministry do, and are probably free to voice that opinion based on facts now Thaksin's cousin has been removed. Doesn't look like a circus - that was a good description of what was happening before, with all the cabinet reshuffles and doling out of plumb jobs to relatives and cronies. Look more like a very well planned operation to return to reality. 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met behulp van Thaivisa Connect Thailand I wouldn't hold your breath. How many ambassadors have been called home from Moscow?

I think this happened before when a relative was promoted because they were next in line but it was pointed out that Thaksin had fast tracked them to that position in the first place. I don't know if that's the case here though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fat Haggis Posted May 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2014 I stand corrected, I think Thai Airways also flies direct too .. It's a little bit more expensive , and I think it's a 747 they use, not 100% sure. Appreciate the correction as it's made me look at alternatives to not having a layover in Dubai as that place sucks 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that's the case here though. Yeah, that was Chaiyasit when he became army commander-in-chief . Not the case with Priewpan though, I think it was widely agreed he was most senior and next in line for the job in 09, had it not been for political interference (welcome to correction if I'm wrong). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
