Reigntax Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 This from the man who told everyone he didn't want anything else to do with politics in Thailand and is hiding abroad instead of coming back to face charges for his own justice. He could have been guaranteed a more-than-fair trial when Yingluck and the red thugs were around but he didn't. That is pretty clear evidence to me that he knows he is guilty. The amnesty disgrace just confirmed it. I wonder what interpretation of 'justice' that came under. The man is a blatant and shameless liar. Anyone who takes what he says seriously are either gullible idiots or admire him for how much he managed to steal with his corruption. I don't have time for either type. Im sure he doesnt have time for you also. Too gullible to see whats going on or just a failure to see the truth. Never mind, Im sure Thaksin is happy not to have your support or like the majority, probably doesnt care one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Brennan Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 How many times has Thaksin promised and sworn he would not get involved in Thai politics anymore? Yeah, right... So what does that make him, on top of being a compulsive liar? How long will he further be allowed to play his evil, egomaniac games? Should he really have to wait until Kharma punishes him? Karma. Rightio. News for you my friend. Everyone is a liar, Thaksin, you, me. Being selective in condemning liars isn't really very useful. Remain calm. Do you lie all the time? Have your lies been destructive, and expensive, for all Thailand? Don't think so, my little ones never damaged anybody's life for sure... SIlly. Just silly.

ianf Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Someone other than brave students need to remind people that this country is in a depressing, undemocratic, Totalitarian mess right now, so good on him. Hasn't Thailand always been undemocratic and totalitarian? Not much Democracy under Thaksin's rule. And don't mention voting. That isn't the end all and be-all of democracy. Democracy relies on the rule of law. None in Thailand under Thaksin or now. Democracy relies on free and fair elections. None of that under Thaksin's watch and non now. Democracy relies on honest and open accountb;e government. None of that etc etc etc (continued on page 94). Ignorant posts such as the above get my goat. Expresses no understanding at all of the current or past situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Loh Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Thaksin should just keep silence and allow this regime to self destruct. Really no need to prod or instigate; the unhappiness divide is widering and all the PM actions has only solidified and galvanized the Reds support and even the educated neutrals. Thailand history is never kind to the military extending their unwelcome stay. Sooner or later, an election will be held and another Thaksin party will back in power.

Expat1 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 What I still don't get is how this guy is still out there without a leash. If this had happened 30 years back he would have just disappeared and none of the pain and suffering he and his caused would have occurred. There was corruption and excesses then, of course, but nothing on the scale this guy perpetrated, they would not have allowed it. Oh, for the good ole days of the proper General dictatorship in charge, it works. They actually had the average Thai more at heart then than the Hi-so million dollar boys club set. I wish K.Prayut all the best in bringing this man to justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai at Heart Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Didn't go much on his brand of justice myself or his idea of wealth distribution either. The whole post made by Thaksin is aimed at creating fresh trouble .For all of its faults under the current administration life has been far more peaceful and protest free. But what the paymaster really means by sense of justice is that there is a blanket proclamation of 'never mind' and we reset the clock to day 1. Probably right. We should not forget that Thaksin was amaat, his problem was always and only that he became too popular. His instinct was always on the side of the privileged., so naturally he tried to do what thew amaat has always done - look after himself in the time-honoured Thai way. He probably shouldn't have pissed off Prem though, these people hold grudges. Thaksin isn't amaat, he's the son of a farming rent taker from Chiangmai who had a phone company. The amaat don't want anything to do with him. He is nouveau riche who got well above his station. Money isn't class old boy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waitforusalso Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 His words ring so true & surely those who are not complete fools realise this too. The 'justice, law & order' dealt out by the general & the junta are seen by a large portion of the Thai (& foreign) population to be nothing more than a political purge. The junta's blatantly obvious alliance and favouritism for the yellows & even more blatant persecution of Yingluck & PTP is as reconciliatory as stirring up a hornets' nest.

The amaat don't want anything to do with him. He is nouveau riche who got well above his station. Money isn't class old boy.... Thaksin's great-grandfather, Seng Saekhu, was an immigrant from Meizhou, Guangdong, China, who arrived in Siam in the 1860s and settled in Chiang Mai in 1908. His eldest son, Chiang Saekhu, was born in Chanthaburi in 1890 and married a Thai woman named Saeng Samana. Chiang's eldest son, Sak, adopted the Thai surname Shinawatra ("routinely appropriate action") in 1938 because of the country's anti-Chinese movement, and the rest of the family also adopted it. Seng Saekhu had made his fortune through tax farming. Chiang Saekhu/Shinawatra later founded Shinawatra Silks and then moved into finance, construction, and property development. Thaksin's father, Loet, was born in Chiang Mai in 1919 and married Yindi Ramingwong. Yindi's father, Charoen Ramingwong (born: Wang Chuan Cheng), was a Hakka immigrant who married Princess Chanthip na Chiangmai, a minor member of the Lanna (Chiang Mai) royalty. In 1968, Loet Shinawatra entered politics and became an MP for Chiang Mai and deputy leader of the now-defunct Liberal Party. Loet Shinawatra quit politics in 1976. He opened a coffee shop, grew oranges and flowers in Chiang Mai's San Kamphaeng district, and opened two movie theatres, a gas station, and a car and motorcycle dealership. By the time Thaksin was born, the Shinawatra family was one of the richest and most influential families in Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money, attitude, psychology, they're all the same, these amaat types, and Thaksin was a playmate (albeit regarded as nouveau-riche) until he committed the cardinal sin.

ChrisY1 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 What Thaksin posts on social media creates an almost storm here in Thailand......the RTA and elite of Thailand, continue to be very cautious, or fearful of him, and dread his media posts...... Whether the foriegners like or dislike him matters not.....he and his clan continue to enjoy massive support throughout the country....and this support will be ongoing for ages! I don't think there has been a personality in recent years in Thailand that has been able to gain and maintain such support.......... War on drugs, illegal land deals, ongoing court challenges that are ongoing and etc. on his part, are fairly meaningless to ordinary Thais........

Better that Mr. T keep his mouth shut and live peacefully abroad. Imagine if the 2000 lives lost was under the DEM or General, how many people would cry murderer?
