thesetat2013 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 She must be terrified having men taking her picture without her permission. Good thing they are not really stalkers and actually assigned to watch her. Teeranai needs to learn better English and understand the meaning of what is written. This article has nothing to do with being a stalker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextStationBangkok Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 UN Women rights tribunal should summon this Deputy Prime minister for his lewd comment on a Former Woman Prime Minister. It is a shameless comments towards a rightfully elected woman leader. And public anger will grow for sure towards Junta. May be starting of some bad political situation ?

Hawk Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The soldiers are there to intimidate Yingluck and her followers, they are not there to provide protection. Taking pictures of her and her followers for future possible legal action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How old are those soldiers who fancy this 48-years old mother? Around 70-years, the same age as this Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan?

Taking pictures of her and her followers for future possible legal action. Do you think having your picture taking by some soldiers, and let's face it Thais just love taking photos, is more or less intimidating than: blowing whistles at you throwing contaminated blood at you or your property burning your picture in a mock coffin outside your home throwing excrement at your property machine gunning your elderly parents' house threatening to kidnap your daughters lobbing grenades, duds or lives, at your propoerty Just wondering where this fits on your ranking of intimidating opponents?

tx22cb Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 If this is an accurate report of what the DPM actually said then I am appalled. The quote is accurate - but perhaps the DPM was taking a leaf from the Donald J Trump book of Diplomacy and Reconciliation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it or not it's what the West calls surveillance. Career criminals are often subject to this. An example of the more Thai than the Thais themselves kind of apologist: here speaking for others irrespective of what they say or don't say themselves. No, Mr Baerboxer, the man himself said it's because they are 'protecting' her whilst taking her photograph "probably" because she is pretty.

She isn't unattractive, but she's like a bucket of sand at the beach in Thailand as far as looks go. Then again, beauty is always in the eye of the beer-holder.

Yes, that's pretty rare in Thailand. Normally there are unelected people in charge that no court can remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
