On CNN: She left two days ago for Dubai

 

 

 

No wonder the government is unaware of her whereabouts; they don't watch CNN.

On the back of a motorbike, and she wasn't wearing a helmet.

There'll be a charge waiting for her when she returns

I just start learning about Thailand 18 months ago.  I'm sure she didn't need a passport to get out.   I assume most of the posters here are fairly well educated and worldly.   I find it intriguing how half support Yingluck and half the junta?    I'm still forming my opinion.   I do dispise censorship that I read the junta does.  But so does TV. 

TV despises censorship or does censorship? Don't say the D word

i like how farangs on here think that the junta are the bad guys and yingluck the good guy.

yes they are not officially elected but do you think yingluck or thaksin were :)?

you know how many people commited suicide cause of the rice scam?

since the junta took control,crime and corruption has been reduced.

in the early days most cases connected to powerful people were swept under the rug.now its much harder.

Great comedy for a first post.

 

Looking forward to many more rib-ticklers.

we need an elected government  by the people and an opposition so at the end, there is some progress by finding the right way acceptable for all Thai people, no one man show without right to assemble to discuss what the government is doing and spending the state money in submarine and others unnecessary things!!

certainly... however, before that happens, voters need to be able to look further than 500 baht a vote and rice subsidies !

the solution probably lies in preventing scumbags from running for office.

Why? What's the junta offering? The voters can make their own decisions in the privacy of the polling booth. They can work out what's best for them.  If that's the best deal on offer, why not take it? It's up to the Green Party (the army, a purely political organization) and the Democrats (a purely non-democratic party) to come up with something more attractive. They've had years but they still fail to get that vote winning program together. How hard can it be?

[tomta]

As somebody once said, Manarak, the problem with democracy is the voters. Get rid of them and everything will be fine. That's what the generals have done.

Yes we do. She was spotted in Victoria Street SG Starbucks with two men wearing black suits.

Nah, couldn't be. I saw her in a bar in Hua Hin.

Gee I'm glad I have decided to stay out of this rant rage - the bullshit gets so deep here you need hip boots .............16 pages and counting.  I'm gonna laugh my ass off when she turns up tomorrow in Bangkok.

there is a certain type of people who misunderstand things, confuse cause and consequence , supply and demand, inflation and money supply.

I didn't suggest changing the voters, I suggested improving the trustworthiness of people running for office.

A "coup assisted" flight?  

No way in the world could the most watched woman in Thailand, simply go to the airport, get on a plane, and leave the country, unless, of course, she was "allowed" to, or "assisted" by the very folks who supposedly want her head.  

Her fleeing the country is the best scenario the illegal Junta could hope for.  Gives them the chance to say: "See, she's guilty! She fled!", when everyone knows the verdict of this trial was predetermined before the original charges were even pressed.  

Now she can join her brother in Dubai, and then wage an online, Facebook & Line war against the junta, while building up her own support and sympathy.  

 

Yes. You are right. I think, she didn't turn up because she was snatched (special forces?). Some high level stuff happening here. Singapore? Doubt it. Cambodia's my bet. Sooner or later this country's going to implode. Maybe after October. (If you don't know why I say after October, don't ask.).

[Foozool]

Deal is deal, there is no arrest warrant. 

She was free to go, no red shirt mess. 

Red shirts got nothing to object for. 

Peaceful Thailand.

[kkerry]

CNN report she is in Dubai. Even The Nation have Prawit confirming she has left Thailand.

 

The story goes high level police escorted her to Cambodia via Koh Chang, then Phnom Penh to Singapore and now in Dubai.

 

People have been saying this all day.

Awaiting the photos of her in a Dubai Starbucks or picking up some new accessories at the local Burberry shoppe...

Money sure talks  !!! you can get away with Murder, Corruption and anything you want in Thailand.  Just like her brother, you don't need a Passport to leave the country. She Raped the poor people of Thailand and got away probably with a Police Escort.  The worst part was everyone knew she was running away,  SAD !!! 

[stickyrice2000]

With these types of politic and judicial system, I would flee to another country too.

In Thailand they have a cure for Ebola, Aids and many others. But they can't treat someone having pain in her ear?
Or did she have a treatment already and is now deaf? You see, pain in ear gone !!!

[hawker9000]

I'm not sure that having her flee the country is perhaps not the best thing that could happen for this govt.  It'll tend to "reset the clock" and bring back the past, refresh Thai public awareness, and resurrect dying antagonisms.  Am no fan of Thaksin, but I expect this works for him. 

[boomerangutang]

I surmise that, tho free, she lost a crapload of properties - and likely won't be allowed to come back to Thailand.

If true,this is the best result that the Government could ever hope for,

they will be very pleased,solves all their problems surrounding her.  

and they never wanted to jail her as she would become a martyr. 

 

regards worgeordie

Indeed, she was told by the government, in advance, what the verdict and sentence would be.  They then gave her the choice of the "blue pill or the red pill".  She went for the red pill and they gave her passport back to her and let her leave the country.  Great outcome for the authorities who feared the worst had she stayed.  Best possible outcome for YL as well. Now the Thai justice has been served, all comers have been warned and a social/government crisis averted. Of course the justice system gets their pound of flesh by jailing a collection of clowns that nobody cares about or will remember in a month.  I also suspect those to be jailed know that they will be able to live high and won't come anywhere close to serving their terms. Rock on Thailand, nothing ever changes.

Assuming she's really gone in the first place...

 

'Won't be "allowed" to come back?  How do you forbid a Thai national from returning to their own country?  They may subject her to a laundry list of legal proceedings, confiscations as you say, arrest and incarceration, exile to some uninhabited Thai island, or not want her to ever return.  But if she shows up at a checkpoint, I don't see how they can keep her out exactly.

Oh definitely not!  They confiscated her assets even before the judges making the decision.  The outcome can't be any other way.  LOL
