Thaksin in Singapore



BANGKOK: -- Fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is now on a tour of ASEAN countries after having visited China last week.

Matichon Online said Thaksin is now in Singapore after having visited and made merit at Xishuangbanna, a Tai Lü autonomous prefecture in the south of Yunnan Province of the People’s Republic of China, and Hong Kong.

Matichon quoted sources in the Pheu Thai party as saying that after Hong Kong, Thaksin will return to Dubai.

He also will not host his 66th birthday anniversary party on July 26, but will just have a small party with family members.

It also said some Pheu Thai party members and former cabinet ministers had sought permission from the National Council for Peace and Order to travel abroad during this period, but their requests were rejected.

Well he is 66......so with any luck , around ten or so more years from now he wont matter anymore.

And what he has done in the last 10 or so years has done nothing but cause problems for the country he claims to love. If he had any sense he would have realized he was no longer able to continue a political life and gracefully retire and spend some of the money he has stolen. If he was a normal thinking person he cannot be pleased with what he has done to this country.

But little "oak" will be big "oak" and take over the business....just as you thought things could not get any worse!

I am sure that Thaksin is 100% sure that he has done no wrong... just like the current PM !!! It is human nature to delude yourself, but harder to fool the rest of the world... except perhaps the Thai public by manipulating the media as these two have.

[slapout]

maybe he will roll double 6's on the crap table of life, first pass. not wishing him any bad luck, of course, as he seems to attract it, with ;ittle help aid, all by his lonesome. My hope he takes the rest of his nest of vipers with him and they all come out looking like the remains of a puddy cat after a direct hit of 1/2 the tires contacting the surface of the road on a fully loaded 18 wheeler

That's the key to the problem, normal thinking ..... or lack thereof. Edited July 20, 2015 by Artisi

Well, now we know why Watana is so upset at not being allowed to leave the country.

Worse, wouldn't think Oakie would have the brains to make it worse for anybody other than him self,

Out for lunch with the Red Bull brat and other Thais on "holiday" in Singapore no doubt.

Is it a coincidence that since Khun Thaksin out of the way, the euro has dropped to junk status, forcing pensioners out of Thailand not being able to meet the financial retirement visa requirements....??

Any real thought in post - wouldn't seem like it.

[coobah666]

well I think there is only one 6 missing

[harada]

What?? No big birthday party?

What a tragedy not to have the warbling duet like last year's birthday party.

Heartrending.

Unfortunately for Thaksin.....Oak has not been blessed with his fathers "smartness".....he's just an iPad drone!

No.

"Little" Oak is now a big boy. Yet for all his grooming, his educational opportunities, his privileges, his self-entitlement, he is a zero. He is old enough at 35 to have a mind of his own and be intellectually capable of being his own man. But he couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag, so to speak. None of the daughters seem to be showing any propensity for political battle, either. And Ms Burberry is a hopeless case. That just leaves the chubby sister, who doesn't seem to like the limelight. So I guess the Thaksin dynasty is all but over before it really had a chance to get established. Sad, huh?

[BoristheBlade]

With a name like Oak, maybe he should consider a career in porn.

Oak Woodman would be a great porn name, but could he keep it up?

Some of us will get over it.

[steveyinasia]

Who cares where he is, really? Why do the newspapers insist of givng this guy any time at all?

[Jim walker]

Happy birthday Mr Thaksin when it comes around and Singapore is such a nice place to stop of for a bit of therapeutic shopping plenty nice good quality shops and not filled with Gucci fakes in Singapore and no need to haggle just pay the label tag price.

[rtco]

My my my all you falang so critical of the former PM. The problem is that this guy (and his sibling) still command the respect and following of the majority of the Thai nation regardless of what he/she has or hasn't done. So long as he is alive and able to travel freely to most countries in the world and command a certain amount of media interest he will not go away. Whatever the junta (and their elite supporters) do to try and quell this guy will have little effect on the masses that support him. Thai politics will forever be in a state of flux so long as the modus operandi remains as it is today.

[Emster23]

I hear he did go see son of Red Bull and urged him to return to Thailand and face the music. But then TS heard some of the current hits here and told the son "No, never mind... cruel and unusual punishment.".

Yes, his party winning democratic election after democratic election after democratic election after democratic election, the last 4 democratic elections.... how dare he.

It is of course why the powerful elite that he has constantly beaten have caused the problems that nasty democratic elections can cause when they don't win.

[SOTIRIOS]

.....when certain types of people 'volunteer information'.....

...you can be sure of its inaccuracy....to put it politely....
