#5332504 Thai Law Voiding Verdicts To Be Tabled

Posted LuckyLew on 2012-05-26 07:02:13

Why not cut to the chase ... we all know what the end result is
Let the guy back, give him his money back ... make him the PM
let him do everything he wants, ley him exact his revenge on all
opponents ... then another coup ... deja vue ...all over again
This country is one big merry go round .... for some reason people
think they can do the exact same thing and end up with different results

"not cosying up to the elite" ? He is part of that elite FFS.
Go and buy Thailand Tatler to work out who the "real" elite are of this country.  Thaksin is a nouveau riche upstart in most of the real "elite" eyes.

When you have been PM for 6 years, have billions of (insert any currency here), and have your sister and most family in the key positions of power in the country, you are no longer an "upstart" in anyone's book.

There is a clique of people who have been running this country for a long time, and Thaksin got onto the table as a relative new comer.  While the Bunnags and the Vejjajivas were running all over the world or serving the country,  Thaksin was just a speck in the eye of the future plans for Thailand.  He rose fast, out of left field.

http://www.thailandt...00-list-2012/a/

Only one Shinawatra to be found?  This is the list of people and families who think they run the country

Thaksin did not get in on this clique.  He was born in to it by right of decent, through both blood and money.  Thaksin is more elite than most of those people on that list and was the moment he was born because of who his family was.  Lots of those people are just rich people or new money, Thaksin was rich and has blood decent from aristocracy of the royal family of Chiang Mai.  He had a father who was an MP, and an uncle who was an MP and a cabinet member, and another uncle who mayor of Chiang Mai.  This all automatically makes him more 'elite' than all but a few in Thailand.  The opposition to Thaksin had nothing to do with him not being 'elite' enough, because he was as elite as almost anyone in the country. Certainly far more elite than most of the people who oppose him.   People who say Thaksin was not part of the elite are simply wrong, spectacularly so.

Right on.  He and his family are only the 19th richest in Thailand.  Not many above them!

I think you don't understand how a "class" system works.  One of the very reasons  that Thaksin got himself into this position is that he wasn't an accepted part of the existing upper class elite in this country.  You have to be granted entry, play by the rules, become part of the woodwork, appear to serve the country and work in the interests of the elite to be part of the upper class elite.  It is a very cosy club, and money is not the only arbiter of entry.

If you don't, you find yourself, very quickly find yourself in Dubai.  No amount of cash can buy instant acceptance at the top, not in Thailand, nor other parts of the world with similar systems.  He is at best "Hi-so", not upper class.

Maybe you're unfamiliar with Thaksin's family background.  He doesn't play it up because he likes to pretend to be some kind of self made man.  He was born in to wealth and power, both socially and financially.  Thaksin is descended from the Na Chiang Mai family on his mother's side, the former rulers of the Kingdom of Chiangmai.  Thaksin is part of the elite upper class, you can not get much more elite than him.  That is why Thaksin's father was able to secure a seat in parliament in Chiang Mai, and why Thaksin was so easily able to enter politics later on.

Horrible article.  I understand they can't give the link but they could at least give a hint what to search for

Yeah. I googled " Thai tits and arses in public video" and the first 100 hits were scenes from a Thai parliamentary debate.

Had Thaksin stayed in Thailand and faced his charges, served what ever little time they would have given him, like the red shirts are doing now because of him, none of this would have happened. No red shirts dead from all the violence, no red shirts in jail. And Thaksin could be fighting shoulder to shoulder with his red shirts, instead of playing politics from behind the curtain like a puppet master.

"For as long as I have known him, Thaksin has never abandoned his friends or allies in a common struggle," he said.

True, very true. I can confirm that k. Thaksin always stands very firmly behind his people, very far behind to enable multitasking like shopping in Paris at the same time Posted Image

Pheu Thai MP for Udon Thani in bunfight with key red shirt

I wonder if, as youngsters, Thai people really let there hair down and have a 'bun fight'  :D  

It seems the journo's recently have been studying the comic talent of the 'Sun' in the Uk for their headline strategy.


#5320969 What It's Like In Thailand's Deadliest Prison

Posted ratcatcher on 2012-05-22 07:28:47

Maybe Mr Hoy has had conversations with ex P.O.W.s regarding their treatment at the hands of the V.C.?

Bang Kwang and its ilk may not be nice places, but then again they aren't supposed to be. Prisons in some countries are rather like country clubs.

As the old saying goes "If you can't do the time...........etc"

Well, if losing one's status as a Member of Parliament is a "minor issue" then I wonder his contingency plan is...

So what does that open him up to in terms of being prosecuted for his rather long lists of charges.

Never liked this immunity for MP's anyway.  All nonsense.
