I'll believe you this once--do not let me down.  Please do not do what your brother did and kiss the airport concrete.

[Bernard Flint]

Sounds like Arnie

I,L  BE BACK

[Thailand]

A lot of egg on faces if she does?

That is a lot of posters I'll admit.   But what about you, your thoughts ??   did you expect her to return ?? forget the others for once.

[kmj]

A source? Why would she get in contact 'oh, bye the way just to let you know, I will be back on the 10th' more like slow news day...

[WitawatWatawit]

If she does come back and face her accusers, she'll gain a moral standing that her brother and all the other festering cowards will never, ever achieve.

[kimamey]

Sounds like Arnie

I,L  BE BACK

 

I thought that myself. The NCPO better watch themselves now they're taking on the Terminator

[kimamey]

She's not back yet but I had a feeling she might do. I think her main problem is she doesn't seem to have done anything that wasn't given to her by her brother and  most of that seems to have been fake. Perhaps she's finally got fed up with being used.

 

Of course if she comes back and goes to court she might end up causing problems for those around her that got her into the mess in the first place.

If Yingluck really returns as she promised, she is much stronger and braver than her brother. A dainty lady facing all the 'missiles and booby traps and land mines' by herself. Applaudable!

[chainarong]

Former P.M. Yingluck  Shinawatra has too much to lose in staying away ,she has not the clout that her brother Thaskin has or diverse interests outside of Thailand like her brother , most of her money making interests are in Thailand and her family,  she has a lot to lose in staying away.

[opalred]

she is a real petal? on cactus plant

[Costas2008]

Can't understand why people care if she's back or not.

I wish, her and her brother disappear from the face of this earth and never again hear anything about them.

[Basil B]

I think she will be back, but flight cases will be packed to do the midnight flit if need be.

 

[ginjag]

Near all her stuff she took out will not return to home soil.------Another large stack of luggage will be getting ready for the next trip.... but it is my forward thought.

[Robby nz]

Good chance she will come back, whatever, she will do what big brother tells her to do, still in the Thaksin thinks mode.

 

He needs to keep the Shin name in the spotlight, cant let it fade away, what better way to do it than have the lovely Yingluck persecuted by her political opponents, making statements of innocence on a regular basis, wanting more witnesses, even a few tears at times to keep the faithful entranced.

 

He has shown he is prepared to use her just by putting her in the PM chair and there must be little doubt he will still use her if he sees a need.

 

What alternative does he have ?

 

Ugly sister wants nothing to do with the spotlight, son would only make a fool of himself and he is to cowardly to come back and do it himself.

[Thailand]

A lot of egg on faces if she does?

 
That is a lot of posters I'll admit.   But what about you, your thoughts ??   did you expect her to return ?? forget the others for once.

If she comes back I think some sort of deal will have been done already.

This is the way Thailand works and I don't see the junta being any different.

[templedog]

Take this for what it is......I spoke to someone in Thai Gov't, no names, and they said that a deal is being brokered by Thaksin

and junta for his return in 5 or less years. Yingluck will be admitted back and a whitewash of the rice scheme will happen. Just stuff

I've heard from a reliable source. Don't ask.

[northernjohn]

A lot of egg on faces if she does?

 

Yes there will be. But it will be worth it to see her punished for her crimes.

Mind you I am not ruling out a nip across the border and on to another plane later.

You could well have a point there. Maybe with a little hope you could say in the future "this is how Thailand once worked.  I am anti bad governing, but I am for the minute going along with what the army are doing,  A glimmer of hope,  fingers crossed.

[Pib]

You know how Thai banks are...you gotta show up in person to do big transfers/close your accounts.

Thaksin had a way of dealing with people like that.

It was the only thing he was reliable for.

I doubt the son could make as big a fool of himself as Yingluck has.

Are you sure its strength and bravery that leads her? You forget you are talking about a woman who can quote country, city, and store she bought her shoes at but cant seem to remember what city in thailand she is giving an address for her supporters.
Maybe she is being led by ignorance and a blind faith that her brother will rescue her and her not knowing what was happening is a good enough excuse for innocence

Former P.M. Yingluck  Shinawatra has too much to lose in staying away ,she has not the clout that her brother Thaskin has or diverse interests outside of Thailand like her brother , most of her money making interests are in Thailand and her family,  she has a lot to lose in staying away.

 

One of the main reasons for her Europe trip may have been to discuss with her brother whether she should return or flee (like he had done). After weighing up the pros and cons, including those that you've mentioned, she may have concluded that she should return (for now).
 

[hyperdimension]

You know how Thai banks are...you gotta show up in person to do big transfers/close your accounts.

 

Maybe she has provided Power of Attorney to some people, so she wouldn't need to be physically present for financial transactions.

NCPO: Yingluck May Extend Her Stay Abroad
 

By Khaosod Eng. 

 

 

BANGKOK - Former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra can ask the military junta for a permission to extend her stay abroad, a top military officer said.
 

Ms. Yingluck left the country for Europe late last month, ostensibly to visit her brother former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in France. She had promised to return to Thailand to fight the corruption charges that the national anti-graft body filed against her. However, there is an intense speculation that she will go into a foreign exile.

Lt.Gen. Kampanart Ruddit, deputy chief-of-staff of the Royal Thai Army, said today that the junta has not been informed that Ms. Yingluck will postpone her return to Thailand, scheduled to be 10 August, but she can file a request to the junta for an extended stay.

"If Ms. Yingluck indeed did not come back, she will have to explain what kept her from returning to Thailand. The leader of the NCPO will judge whether she can remain abroad," Lt.Gen. Kampanart said, referring to the National Council for Peace and Order.

Although the NCPO previously issued arrest warrants on politicians and activists who either left the country without its permissions or failed to report to the junta in time, Lt.Gen. Kampanart said the military rulers in fact consider many factors before they prosecute those who violate the NCPO's travel restriction.

"In the past two months, the NCPO has been very negotiable. We do not just issue arrest warrants right away. If anyone has a task [that kept them away], they can inform us," Lt.Gen. Kampanart claimed, "The NCPO will give them time, but when time is up we will have to issue arrest warrants."

He also dismissed criticism from Ms. Yingluck's critics that the NCPO had been naive to let the former leader leave the country, saying that Ms. Yingluck is free to travel as she wished because she remains innocent until proven guilty by the court.

"I ask you, what rights does the NCPO leader have to forbid Ms. Yingluck from going abroad? If he had done so, it would affect the principle of human rights, and he would be criticised," Lt. Gen. Kampanart said, "There's only one standard. No one has the privilege. I insist that the NCPO leader has no intention to help Ms. Yingluck escape her charges."

Vacation or exile?

Last month, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) found Ms. Yingluck guilty of negligence, which allegedly led to massive corruption in the rice-mortgage scheme - the key policy of her administration.

Her case has been forwarded to the Criminal Court for further prosecution. If found guilty by the court, Ms. Yingluck could face a maximum prison term of 10 years and a fine of 20,000 baht.

Shortly before she left the country, the former leader insisted her innocence and questioned the legality of NACC's investigation against her. She also vowed to return to Thailand to contest the charges.

"There has been allegation that I am going abroad to escape from the cases," Ms. Yingluck said on 18 July. "Let me insist that my trip is a personal one, and there is clear schedule of return date. I prepared this trip long before the NACC found me guilty in a hasty manner."

Ms. Yingluck's aides also told the media that she was merely traveling to attend a birthday party for her brother, Mr. Thaksin, in Paris on 26 July, and to enjoy a private vacation in Europe with her son.

However, for many Thais, Ms. Yingluck’s situation is reminiscent of that Mr. Thaksin once faced. Mr. Thaksin was also deposed in a military coup and was later charged with corruption. He fled the country shortly before the court found him guilty in 2008 and has been living in self-imposed exile ever since.

A survey claimed that a majority of Thais expect Ms. Yingluck to follow her brother's footsteps and chose a life of exile.
