Lite Beer Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Third Army denies searching Yingluck’s car to prevent her from escaping CHIANG MAI: -- The Third Army today denied press report that its soldiers trailed, stopped and searched the car carrying former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra while she was visiting a temple cemetery to pay respect to her ancestors in Chiang Mai province. Instead it was just a security protection provided or a former leader of the country, it saidCommander of the Third Army Region Lt-Gen Sathit Pitarat’s statement came as report said soldiers have stopped her convoy at a road checkpoint and conducted search in its effort to prevent her from fleeing the country as she is about to face trial in the Supreme Court next week.He said it was untrue, adding that the fact was that soldiers at the checkpoint stopped her motorcade and asked to search all of the vehicles, except for Yingluck for security reason.Her motorcade was allowed to proceed shortly afterwards, he said.Meanwhile commander of the 33rd Army Area Maj-Gen Sarayut Rangsee also reiterated that a report that soldiers searched her convoy was not true.In fact, it was her motorcade which passed the checkpoint on the way to the temple and was asked to stop like other vehicles passing the checkpoint.Soldiers searched only the vehicles of others in the motorcade with the exception of Ms Yingluck’s car as they respected her dignity.He also dismissed report that soldiers were trailing the former prime minister to prevent her from fleeing the country.He said it was a security matter for a VIP person, adding if what they have performed their duties would cause her unhappy, he would like to apologize her.

You see, the military have sensitivity training as well. All in the cause of maintaining happiness and particularly Yingluck's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catterwell Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Will she still get VIP treatment when she is behind bars. regards Worgeordie If she is found guilty and sentenced to do time, yes: expect VIP treatment. If you have a name and lots of money, complete with a face that's not too ugly, then you too get get VIP accommodation in a Thai prison. You'll have to wear a prison uniform that conforms to specs, but a top designer could turn that into a fashion statement. Moreover, a ten year sentence can be reduced to three quite easily, of which one might be counted as the home detention while the trial was underway. Of the remaining two, one could be converted to community service. If you overdo the photo ops in six of the remaining months, you may find the other six months of time to be a tad onerous.

bendejo Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 No one in the Shin family would ever resort to subterfuge, ever! To imply such would be an insult to both former prime ministers. Her brother is not a fugitive, he went to the Beijing olympics just like he said he was. He's still sitting in the stadium now, waiting for the very long intermission to end.

aliep Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The HiSo here consider it a status symbol to hire escort vehicles and travel in a motorcade. Usually, it's the police they hire. In fact, anyone can hire them, all you need is money. I am in favour of inconveniencing them with these checkpoint searches if it dissuades them from it in the future. I sometimes wonder if there is a word in the Thai dictionary for "subtle" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking lottery tickets (formal and underground) on the number plate of Yingies' latest car is a popular "sport". It has nothing to do with shirt color, political party, coups or kool aid.

Priceless Well, your ignorance meant you missed the point. Those VW rot dtoos were specially imported for use by senior government officials. Note the illegal tinting. In Thailand and other countries with highly opaque governments, one has to learn to look for other clues, grasshopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
