thesetat2013 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Well the junta knows where he is so if they are serious about arresting people for les majeste then they should be able to intercept him. Given Prayuths popularity in China they should not have a problem helping to arrest him. However, we all know this won't happen or even attempted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it because the Nation feels that lots of its readers want to know about this news ? Or is it because the Nation wants to antagonise its own readers by constantly bringing up news about Thaksin ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Prayuths popularity in China they should not have a problem helping to arrest him. However, we all know this won't happen or even attempted And why is it that this won't happen or even be attempted ? Is it because Thailand's internal issues are not something that China is interested in, and China certainly does NOT want to interfere or get involved. Or maybe China wants to use the issue of Thaksin as a bargaining chip with Thailand ? As in, China might be saying 'we will give you Thaksin, as long as you let China take-over Thailand'. China just wants Thailand to sort out and deal with Thailand's own issues. It's the USA and Europe who are trying to get involved in Thailand's internal issues.

Skywalker69 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Happy New Year Thaksin! Thailand misses you. In the other paper you can read that they are still the favourites of the red shirts, but it is becoming evident that the grassroots are growing impatient with Thaksin and Yingluck Shinawatra.

Apart from that who gives a rat's behind what this goofball does. The majority of the Thai people who voted for him do. If the majority of the Thai people who voted for him (in 2001, 2005, or 2006) care then there are still the rest of Thai people who voted for him who do not care. Of course the majority of the Thai people couldn't care less by now, allegedly. Edited January 2, 2015 by rubl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Why does the media persist with ' what is Thaksin doing ' campaign everybody is sick & tired of it ... he's gone , finished ... forget him .. Only news next time should be a picture of him in the Bangkok Hilton ........ Like it or not, It is only some of the people here on TV who are tired of the news about him. I would not be surprised that if he could return and run for PM he would win again. So there are probably a lot of people in Thailand who are interested in what he does.

Camelot Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) He might have a more promising future if he stays in China. In Thailand he is already 'yesterday's man' and must be getting fed-up with life in the desert. Another few years and people could well be asking "Thaksin who"??? That's what he's most scared of, hence the constant stream of PR. Edited January 2, 2015 by Camelot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ramrod711 Posted January 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2015 This is a nice story, even heart warming. When ever I read about Thaksin doing something somewhere in the world, I get a warm fuzzy feeling, because he isn't doing it here. One can only hope that these stories of his absentee antics continue until he croaks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two wrongs don't make a right. Anyone involved in the Democrat party involved in vote buying should be locked up and banned from politics for life. If Thaksin was so popular why did he even have to bribe people to vote for his family party ? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
