These Shinawatras don't give a damn about the Thai people or the Thai economy that they ripped off for billions. But I think the Thais have woken up to their thieving and cheating.

"aiding and abetting a criminal" Is YL a criminal yet, when the verdict hasn't been delivered, and sentence (possibly suspended) passed down ?

Perhaps, but would 'having a sore throat & going for treatment' be, if she were found innocent (unlikely) or her sentence were to be merely a suspended or minor-financial one (more likely IMO) ? Obviously there was some planning overseas, in order to pre-position the private-jet to the right place, and if she has crossed the border informally, then she probably broke immigration-laws. But she doesn't have a long list of other cases outstanding, unlike her brother. And will the government wish to pursue this line-of-thinking, or are they happy to let the situation cool, having avoided any large public-demonstrations ahead of the big event due in October ? Will they actually want to find any senior-official who might have escorted her to the border ? What would that usefully achieve ? Ideally I'd like to see pictures of her eating-out/shopping-in-Dubai with family, but not stirring things up, we're told by anonymous PTP-sources that she's there, but it might be nice to see independent-confirmation, to reassure her admirers. Then we can be more sure that some deal was negotiated, in the Thai way. Meanwhile the reassurances from her nieces, and the silence from Dubai, are probably indicative of that. Despite the mocking-laughter from the wings, this isn't actually a bad out-turn, in many ways. Meanwhile the junta, both unaware & those in-the-know, will huff-and-puff as their roles/duties would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man is the Army Commander-in-Chief - does he run the Army on "speculation", or does he wait, and make "Army"-decisions based on facts and evidence ? [For example, he doesn't currently *know* whether Yingluck is still in Thailand, or not, but that doesn't stop him from giving a press-conference and talking about Thaksin's private-plane.] "She also has a close aide who is a police officer with skills and experience in making escape." And if I were that police officer I would be contacting a lawyer concerning a (possible) defamation case. Where other than Thailand does a police officer have skills and expereience in making escape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldiablo72 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 " If Yingluck was outside the country, she might make a verbal attack against the NCPO and it could not enforce any law against her, he said."Hence the reason she is not verbally attacking, because a deal was made.

titanio82 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 What a transparent bull shit story. Yes, blow it all in the face of another enemy of state. But if so why not show the flight plan of that airplane at the same time. Or does it just show the current power of Taksin in Thailand? if so, it says something of those currently in charge.

However, is there a final check of who is on the aircraft against a previously lodge list of those to travel, and at same time a complete / final passport check conducted immediately before the a/c doors are closed? Do the regulation state the above or similar or is it not really checked? If someone wanted to / was determined to get on a pvt jet then seems to me they could easily bypass immigration at an airport. If there are lackies involved they could easily do some observations to find out which airport is very lax with these things. Sure there are regulations, compliance with everything in this country is very poor and unprofessional.

Apart from wars with Burma, Laos & Cambodia, there was also a little-known British episode, at the end of WW2 ... " The Japanese surrendered on 15 August 1945. Immediately, Allied military responsibility for Thailand fell to the British. As soon as practicable, British and Indian troops were flown in and rapidly secured the release of surviving POWs. The British were surprised to find that the Japanese soldiers had already been largely disarmed by the Thais. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Thailand_(1932–1973) and "The main effect of the peace treaty was to undo the Thai annexation of the Shan States and four of the Unfederated Malay States.[2] The British achieved less than they had hoped, largely because the United States opposed any punitive action against Thailand. They were unable, for instance, to reduce the size of Thai armed forces.[3] The treaty did require the free delivery of up to 1.5 million tons rice, which was in surplus in Thailand, to British Malaya, where there was a shortage.[4] It also forbade the Thais from building a canal across the Kra peninsula, which clause undercut the authority of Pridi Banomyong's government." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Thai_Peace_Treaty The rice helped alleviate the widespread-starvation which had resulted during WW2, across the British South-East Asian Empire, as a result of the interruption of the normal shipping of rice from Thailand/Burma (who grew most of it) to Singapore/Malaya/India (where it was consumed).

If you've got your tin hat on might as well think outside the box. Could it be the verdict was likely to be guilty but little sis didn't want jail time and was threatening to rat out on big bro and the clan? And by the way, he likes his martyrs. More than one way to skin a cat. But as one erstwhile poster said on another connected thread, some posters are drifting into Alice in Wonderland. The chances of even the Junta being dumb enough to abduct her are small enough to be laughable; about the same as her brother abducting her. But if wrong, I shall apologize and be sincerely shocked and disgusted. And I trust you will do like wise as other posters have pledged to do. I think claims of abduction are bizarre , im pretty certain she skipped the country and quite frankly who would blame her. Who knows if she got a helping hand from the current regime , its certainly plausible , lets face it they are hardly likely to admit to it.

"I have no window to look into another man's conscience" Thomas More Who knows what Thaksin really cares about in his inner most soul.Same applies to Prayuth,Suthep,Abhisit, you, me and Uncle Tom Cobley.If you have access to those secret stirrings, well done you.As for me I judge mostly by words spoken and action taken. I can't really be bothered with your nonsense I'm afraid.I would just identify a particular silliness of yours.If there were a thousand ways to describe Thaksin, the very last thing I would suggest was "socialist."
