August 27, 20178 yr Yingluck nieces thankful for public support By The Nation Photo from IG: @aimpintongta BANGKOK: -- Two nieces of former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra have expressed their thanks for all the moral support given to them and their family after their aunt fled the country days before facing a court verdict. Pintongta and Peathongtarn, who are the daughters of her brother Thaksin, used social media to show the appreciation. Elder daughter Pintongta posted a photo to her Instagram account (@aimpintongta) of her looking happy with her husband’s family on Saturday night and said she wanted to thank everyone for the support they had given her and her family. “These days, there are so many things far from our ability … I just try to do my duty in every role the best,” she wrote. In the photo, she looked happy. Thaksin’s younger daughter Peathongtarn also posted a photo to her Instagram account (@ingshin21) with the message: “Some people are going to love you no matter what you do. And some people will never love you no matter what you do.” “But I love you no matter what. Thanks for all the moral support.” Those are the latest comments by anyone in the Shinawatra family since Yingluck fled the country. Some media reports said she fled Thailand last Wednesday and is now with her brother Thaksin in Dubai. There is also speculation she might seek asylum in the United Kingdom. Thaksin is also a former prime minister and was also toppled by a military coup. He now lives in Dubai and London in self-imposed exile to avoid abuse-of-power charges. An arrest warrant was issued for Yingluck by the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions on Friday after she failed to turn up for the verdict reading in the negligence case against her former government’s controversial rice-pledging scheme. The court postponed the verdict reading to September 27 and ordered the seizure of Yingluck’s Bt30-million bail.

August 27, 20178 yr Author Shinawatra nieces thankful for public support of family By The Nation TWO NIECES of former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra have expressed their thanks for all the moral support given to them and their family after their aunt fled the country days before facing a court verdict. Pinthongta and Paethongtarn, who are the daughters of her brother Thaksin, used social media to show the appreciation. The elder daughter, Pinthongta, posted a photo to her Instagram account @aimpintongta of her looking happy with her husband’s family on Saturday night and said she wanted to thank everyone for the support they had given her and her family. “These days, there are so many things far from our ability … I just try to do my duty in every role,” she wrote. In the photo, she looked happy. Thaksin’s younger daughter Paethongtarn also posted a photo to her Instagram account @ingshin21 with the message: “Some people are going to love you no matter what you do. And some people will never love you no matter what you do.” “But I love you no matter what. Thank you for all moral support,” she posted with an emoticon of press palms together to show gratitude. Some media reports said Yingluck fled Thailand last Wednesday and is now with her brother Thaksin in Dubai. There is also speculation she might seek asylum in the United Kingdom. Thaksin is another a former prime minister toppled by a military coup. He now lives in Dubai and London in self-imposed exile to avoid abuse-of-power charges. An arrest warrant was issued for Yingluck by the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions on Friday after she failed to turn up for the verdict reading in the negligence case against her former government’s controversial rice-pledging scheme. The court postponed the verdict reading to September 27 and ordered the seizure of Yingluck’s Bt30-million bail. Even though Yingluck has fled the country, several of her relatives have shown that they stand by her. Chayika Wongnaphachan, the daughter of Yingluck’s elder sister Yaowares Shinawatra, posted a picture of her hugging Yingluck on Instagram. In the picture, Yingluck beamed while holding the 2016 calendar that displayed a picture of herself and Thaksin. Chayapa Wongsawat, another niece of Yingluck, commented on Chayika’s post – “We will all miss you”.

August 28, 20178 yr They really should produce a soap about this family. A sort of Dynasty meets Dallas, with a bit of Falcon Crest thrown in for good measure. Some Neighbors added just to get the feel good factor!

They're not up to Macbeth - too heavy! "A Comedy of Errors would be more of a fit." Or even a "Carry On film - a sort of Carry On Up the Junta" Thaksin as Hamlet holding Chalerm's self decapitated head - priceless! Or some kind of hybrid between the Tudors and the Borgias - even work Pattaya into that one !
August 28, 20178 yr I'm sure Yingluck is a good person at heart, too bad she was force to take the political job that is costing her own happiness and life

But what makes you think she's a good person at heart?

The way little old ladies keep giving her red-roses, spontaneously ? The selfless way she purchased 10-tonnes of rice, up in Isaan, then retailed it in Bangkok, despite the surrounding hordes of media-people watching her every move ? The way she said "Thank-you three times" to whoever helped her leave the country ? (Whoops ... not supposed to know that, it must have just slipped-out, to coin a phrase !)
