Just1Voice Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I would love to see Yingluck come online and do a live broadcast to her Face Book and say: "I would like to thank General P for his assistance in helping me to leave the country. It was much appreciated." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amdy2206 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I wouldn't be surprised if she will just disappear - the army has done it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It will be interesting to hear what she herself says when she reaches her destination. She has left the country before and returned so what changed to make her leave now. She knew from the start she was not going to be found innocent of all charges so why did she return on previous occasions ? This is the perfect result for the coup makers but it does leave the question of what is was the straw that broke the camels back ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer90210 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Perhaps the trial would have led to some embarassing "misunderstandings" for certain of the elite or military in power? Consequently, it suits the current governance to avoid any new scandal, uproar or civilian unrest from the fact that the cutie exPM fled... .[case closed, next] Edited August 25, 2017 by observer90210 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously she must have made some sort of deal with the junta to be allowed to leave (if that is indeed what has happened). Wouldn't be much of a stretch to assume they wanted her to keep mum about it. But time will tell. As of now we really don't know her whereabouts, although the junta clearly does.

Happy Grumpy Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) It's such a pity that it wasn't the heads of the military junta that left..... leaving democratically elected governors in place.

wayned Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the military helped her with her "escape" from Thailand. The head man might have even ordered it. It's a win - win situation for the junta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk10002000 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Well, he may reject it, but if the military can't control or monitor its airspace, and keep track of such a high profile person that they were supposedly closely monitoring, then...

Samui Bodoh Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) If you read Thai history, you will see that the people who usually replace a military regime are other members of the military. Given the political splits in Thailand, it is logical to assume that there are also splits in the military. I think it is very likely that another faction in the military was behind this; it is the most logical answer. The Thai military is NOT a monolithic entity.

It's only that border and state security in Thailand are that lax, that everyone can just enter and leave as they wish... On the other hand, if you overstay for only 2 days, or even less, you are thrown into immigration jail. Makes all perfect sense; jing jing!
