He wouldn't be the first intellectually-challenged person in history to rise to the top of the heap. Or, perhaps he isn't actually as dumb as he sounds, just has problems expressing himself coherently. Maybe that's why he's uses the medium of poetry to convey his sentiments. He clearly is not comfortable in front a media scrum. He seemed more comfortable when he was chatting with the frog mind despite the media presence. So a bad tempered and slightly eccentric autocrat who is too used to having everything his own way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that's a fair assessment. It would certainly explain how he seems so out of touch with reality with some of the stuff he comes out with. Here's a few examples but if memory serves me right, these are just the tip of the iceberg. http://www.eastbysoutheast.com/the-best-of-thailands-pm-prayuth-chan-ocha-a-true-april-fool/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a saying in Thai which roughly translates: I'd rather have a lazy stupid boss than a hard working stupid boss....not sure where the current government fits into that scenario!

BwindiBoy Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 ""Her brother, who also avoided any consequences of his corrupt life, fled to Dubai in 2008 like the arrogant coward that he is. It would appear that it's a family and Thai trait to avoid all responsibility for one's own actions, leaving both no better than a driver who causes multiple deaths in a road traffic accident and then runs away.""

Sparkles Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I remember when I first came to Bangkok to work.Thaksin had just been elected PM in dubius circumstances as he had not disclosed his assets. He was soon on television telling all he personally would guarantee that the Bangkok traffic chaos would be solved in 6 mths. He lost me from that point on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSF Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Of course they know where she is. Of course they let her go. Of course they won't try to have her extradited. They wanted her gone and gone for good. And now that's what they have. Arresting her and putting her in jail, or bringing her back in cuffs would start riots, start another red-shirt revolution. Actually, when you think about it, they have done this perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were even lurking around her house and stating that her phone's signal is still received. A Thai fleeing without her phone, impossible The minister should read Thaivisa forum to know where she is. I am looking forward to her first Facebook message from exile. Not fair.

thongplay Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Taking a logical approach if the authorities (as they state) don't know where she is, how do they know that she has left the country? It's a fair assumption, but that's all it is, an assumption. Just because a representative from her Puea Thai Party said she had left Thailand does that make it a fact? When are people going to report on facts instead of assumptions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retoohs Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Should change her name to Goodluck. There are plenty of Thais that still love what this woman and her brother did for them.

funandsuninbangkok Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 4 hours ago, Baerboxer said: Any country with a real law system and an extradition treaty with Thailand would take a formal request for extradition seriously. They would follow their own legal procedures in reaching a decision on whether to extradite or not. They would look at the actual law details of the case, law broken and evidence. They wouldn't fall for the "politically motivated" excuse so glibly trotted out on TVF as a reason to excuse Yingluck's negligence. They would also look at the Junta but as all countries continue to have normal relations with Thailand regardless of a Junta government, then that in itself may not been seen as an issue. In the EU she could appeal to the EU Court of Justice, backed by the two tame German MEP's who came to visit her. Now that court would probably block any extradition based on past record. As that really is an example of a politically controlled court. It seems inconceivable that someone under close scrutiny can slip so easily away so close to a verdict. Either some gross incompetence, or some big porkies being told. It's extraordinary here how lying is so natural and off the cuff. As for extradition. Well they have to deliver the verdict first, and sentence, in absentia. Then someone would need to complete the extradition request after discovering where she is. As a bail abscondee she's a fugitive. Have they organized an Interpol blue or red notice? Don't hold your breath for any of that happening anytime soon! No civilized country would extradite her as she is clearly a political refugee seeking asylum from a military dictatorship. Oh, and because the generals let her go in the first place and don't want her back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
