[LannaGuy]

So why aren't the foreign press asking  "if that's true general why no elections?  why cannot people gather?"

guess he slipped in wearing a civilian suit plus Australian immigration wouldn't be able to understand his name   or they might have thought he is a Muslim the government allows them to come and go

I will take that as a NO then. If they had any intention of doing it, they would have done so already and made sure we knew about it.

 

I wouldn't. I'd take it he's away on a nice jaunt and no one's told him what the official line is yet. So he just made something up he oped would be meaningless but sound impressive. Can't admit to not knowing, they knowing everything, about everything!

She already has other passports like Big Brother.

Next thing we're going to hear from the PM is that it is no business/right of the foreign media to ask anything of the '...big country...' 

[Italian guy]

I like the fact that they reported the answers without any editing, with all the mistakes. A nice, subtle way of ridiculing the PM...

A rather defensive remark.  They protest. They're defensive.  Quick to deny and offend.  They seem to need to calm down just a little.

It doesn't matter if they Revoke her passport or not, she's not here in Thailand,She most likely has a Few Foreign passports already and can travel The World, Excluding Thailand .

Wow that's a good job he's got, while the biggest "flight risk" person in the country escapes with no difficulty he's on a nice little "jolly" down under !!!

Guess he'll tour around a little while he's down there & come back when the dusts settled a little !

[DjSilver]

Well I find it strange that Thai goverment say they dont follow their own citizens when thai citizens have to fill out an departure and arrival card? That is survaliance of its own citizens. Or 1984 is another word for it. Just look at all CC cameras everywere. No other country has that many CC cameras... Not that I've seen anyway since I come from Sweden...

A big and respected country does not overthrow an elected government. There's no bigger crime than that.

Ah yes, but if you grant yourself an amnesty, that means that you didn't do it. Doesn't it?

 

I'm confused!

"The issue has not reached the foreign ministry yet," foreign minister Don Pramudwinai told reporters when asked if the ministry would revoke Yingluck's passports.

 

"This foreign minister is not yet handling this."

Isn't this the final admission of negligence, ineptitude and total disorganisation of a govt that was about to put someone away for 10 years for just one of those offences . . . negligence? Five days after an 'illegal' fleeing the country, the appropriate minister is still 'not yet handling this'. OK, so Don can't be blamed, but who the hell is handling this ever so minor passport issue that has taken over 5 days to attempt to come to terms with. I just can't wait for the next pronouncement, tomorrow maybe, from P1 or P2. Who the heck will they pin this cockup on?

 

How much more unbelievable can this farce possibly get? More to the point, how can P1 possibly consider becoming PM of a future Thai semi-democracy after all his widely publicised short-comings, especially those of the past 12 months? No kidding . . . Harry Potter scenarios are less scary and improbable than present-day Thai governance.

They're "following the rule of law." The law is that there is no election and there is no gathering. What part of those laws don't you understand?

what a nice guy......But I suppose Ozzies are not that stupid to believe it. A dictatorship is a dictatorship and it will not change by sending a good looking guy

"Australia scaled back relations with the Thai military yesterday and banned coup leaders from traveling there."  Jun 1 2014 Columbus Dispatch

Great find!

 

That is a surprise. Or is it? I bet there are economic agreements between the two countries and we wouldn't want to jeopardize those, would we? Wasn't it another govn't's statement though?  I am just thinking of the excuses they will use. Maybe the new OZ officials are tired or afraid of going to Bali? It really feels like these people (even Yingluck and others) have immunity. They can slip away like this. I guess he has one of those passports too. They all do? Only the top brass?

 

I wonder if the Australian press will follow up on this? Which official will be fired at that end?

A person like Yingluck traveling abroad and no one in immigration bothered about it? Nice intelligence agency they have.
