CaptHaddock Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 How could Yingluck Shinawatra have left? Analysis by Jonathan Head, BBC News, Bangkok Yingluck Shinawatra was the most high-profile criminal defendant in Thailand and was constantly monitored by the military authorities. So how was she able to leave the country just hours before the verdict was due to be read out? Immigration authorities say they have no record of her leaving the country. However, it is a poorly-concealed secret that some in the military government would have been happy to see her leave the country before the verdict. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-41046993 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timewilltell Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 A few things to bear in mind. Thailand is a constitutional monarchy and where does the real power lie? Whatever the verdict it is hard to see any scenario which brought reconciliation. If you think the government of today were not watching her then maybe dig a little deeper. At the end of the day the best for the real power and for the best chance of stability was her skipping off. Perhaps it was all planned behind the scenes as most things are in Thailand. She is now not a martyr, has lost significant influence and North is not boiling up trouble. Seems a beautiful answer to what could have been a very ugly catalyst. Everyone that really matters now happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that there is evidence that it has happened before and without rent-a-mob the numbers would have been much lower. Irrelevant anyway - she has done a runner and maintained the family tradition of cowardice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think that these morons have now emboldened most of Issan ( at least those that were sitting on the fence previously) and many of the conscripts in the very army that is telling the judges what to do. Or maybe have confirmed the doubts of many in Issan ? Given that the trial process has been long ongoing and open to observation of leal arguement to do a runner says what? Inner ear problem? Is that the last defence against hearing the truth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved to Thailand before him and although things were marginally worse under him for the poor, he managed to con them into believing he was on their side. Now the con is finished in the main.

maxman71 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I am not knowledgeable enough to know whether Yingluck's rice pricing/pledging scheme warrants criminal charges/conviction under Thai law. But as a reasonably successful business person, I do know it sure was an incredibly stupid move on her part. Let her and her incompetence go somewhere else...oops, it appears she already did. Buh-bye Yingluck, and don't let the door slap you on your tush on the way out. And say hi to Thaksin, the Red Bull guy and the rest of your clown show entourage that awaits you outside of Thailand.

ZAKY Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 How can a ex-prime minister pass through immigration and leave thailand when the whole nation knows that she is facing a sentence?

The Isaan/north people have lost their figurehead for now. They know that there is no-one in this military/elite <snip> that gives a <snip> about them; other than to keep them in their perceived Thai hierarchy place. Hopefully a jewel will rise from the pebbles and become a champion to help them get a decent shout next time 'round. Thailand belongs to the farmers and the poor people.
