#1 Thai Rak Thai guy, ex-prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra phoned the Pheu Thai Party HQ in Nakhon Ratchasima collect to inform the high executives and MPs that he was far from finishing his fight to regain power, even if physically he were far from Thailand.
“I’ll come back when the people tell me.”
Obviously he is not listening to a request from the Thai courts to serve a 3 year sentence for corruption and having spent 30 minutes in a Pattaya cell, I can concur with his decision to remain in exile.
I was lucky enough to have a fair court.
I paid a 1000 baht fine and was released to the loving arms of my wives and children.
Guess the police thought that was enough of a punishment, but cops aren’t expert in love like me.
Only in crowd control as they have issued a warning against Thaksin’s supporters about uncivil disobedience in the upcoming demonstrations.
Lawang!
