Thaksin tells supporters to give Prayuth govt chance

BANGKOK: -- Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawtra told leading Pheu Thai party members not to disrupt the country administration by the interim government of PM-elect Prayuth Chan-ocha, a Pheu Thai source said.

Thaksin met his supporters when he went to Hong Kong to join the birthday celebration of his daughter, Paethongtan Shinawatra, on Thursday.

Thaksin told the Pheu Thai members to support the government and give it a chance to run the country to the full efforts, the source said.

It's more like Dubai kept his side of the bargain and will be sleeping well tonight knowing they won't go after his family and more importantly, won't touch his ill gotten wealth.

[Tatsujin]

Someone's still giving orders I see . . . We can all sleep safe tonight, no grenade attacks

On the news a couple days ago he was telling his PTP to wait a year before they are active again. It seems to me that T is just buying time for when the Gen is gone before he starts his shit again. Once there are real elections i am certain he will try to control all aspects of the Gov again. In the meantime i would suspect he will be buying more people qualified to run for a new Gov for him to control. The Gen should find a way to permanently rid thailand of this evil man and his one track mind of being supreme ruler of thailand

He likes to keep him self in the news,must be afraid he will

be forgotten (if only), megalomaniac,with thoughts of grandeur,

must be very worried that Thailand is doing so well without him

and his cast of minions.

"Thaksin told the Pheu Thai members to support the government and give it a chance to run the country to the full efforts,"

Maybe Thaksin should call some of the posters here on TVF. It would seem a few didn't get the memo.

How lovely of him. A bit late though a she has no power and i am sure the army is mightier than the big mouth of this crook

[ratcatcher]

"All I am saying is give P a chance"

[ianf]

That was the public pronouncement ....... but behind the scenes?

[nicholao]

"Thaksin met his supporters when he went to Hong Kong to join the birthday celebration of his daughter, Paethongtan Shinawatra"

Did he give her another birthday present like the last 183 million baht Hong Kong mansion to her?

[Sena Dave]

Is this a case of him selling his supporters down the river in the hope of some later leniency for him. Or is he really trying to build bridges

[bangrak]

What are the names of those PT party members? Were they authorised to travel abroad? Wasn't this a hidden political meeting? Shoudn't they be 'called in' and have their passports revoked?

On target!

[ginjag]

I have an idea when the minority emerge from the meeting to answer this they will say, "he is a decent man to speak like this "

" But what the heck are we going to do now as he has spoiled or rhetoric" " Sh## anyone any suggestions cause this has knackered our crusade"

Where then is this gagging and restrictions of movement and speech that the apologists are always spouting about ??

Thaksin believes that Thailand can not and will not change and that the Gen will fail. He believes that he will swoop in and reestablish control and patron government, top heavy with corruption. He believes that someday he will install his son as PM. Only time will tell.

I don't know if the General will fail, certainly he will fail in some endeavors, but, when has anyone really tried to solve some of the many problems. He seems an honest man and I trust him, he will do battle with Thai culture and the myriad corrupt bosses big and small. His success will depend on whether the middle level fish join him in remaking Thailand into a country where there is real opportunity for the middle and lower classes, not just the corrupt who bow at Thaksin's feet with tribute in hand.

Thaksin has never had the vision to see that building the base, the lower classes, causes much more profit to flow up that by just stealing money from the country. Ripping off the nation is not sustainable and eventually the family will fall off its pedestal.

I salute you, General, for taking the chance and making an effort to turn the nation around. No one else ever has, certainly not Thaksin.

I actually thought that all crashing noise over the last six months was just that.

Luckily some apologists were wearing brown underwear today when this topic popped up. Now they have to regroup= (change some of the agenda guys, lets have a meeting)

Thaksin is giving orders again? He is not in a position to tell anyone what to do.

I think the bridges have already been built.

I think the bridges have already been built.

And I hope his bridges are as well engineered as the Pathum Thani condo of recent fame.

"I think the bridges have already been built."

Prayuth doesn't have to and doesn't need to negotiate. What the general should say in response is "Shut up! With a tick of the pen I can seize all of your assets, arrest your family and make damn sure that you never spend another breath in South East Asia."

[NZ1325]

Well, seems the general knows how to play his cards right! One thing's for sure, it's safer now than what it was before.

If not, I'm sure there are plenty of people around well versed in demolition who can easily replicate the effect of the Pathum Thani condo.

Yes actually I don't see the government try to recover any of the money.......They should seize the money and the properties, else the Shinawatras buy their way back into power.

Nice if it was true, but bitter experience indicates it can only be crocodile tears. How many times noe has he promised to keep out of politics or stay out of politics??

No, I don't think he is. I think he is gaming for a pardon.
