Bangkoktraveler Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 King Taksin statues will soon be King Thaksin statues. Most Thais will not know the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Giles Ungpakorn sure as hell doesn't. Fittingly, King Taksin went mad, was deposed ... and was executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 p.s. Nothing about this in the Post. Convicted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra condemned people who put up signs and posters on Silom road labelling him as the president of a new Thai state, Thaksin's legal adviser Noppadon Pattama said on Tuesday. "I would like to condemn such campaign because it is false and this is the worst political accusation I ever had. "Those who are behind this act do not have a good intention to the country and want to widen the social divisions. They are also engaging in tax corruption," Thaksin said in the statement. The ousted premier demanded the campaign stop because no Thai people would believe it. "My family and I uphold the national institution, religion and the monarchy, and we are loyal to Their Majesties the King and Queen. "I would like to ask officials to find the wrongdoers and take action against them," he said. The pro-Thaksin United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) said the red-shirt group had no involvement in the 'President Thaksin' campaign, as many of the signs and posters have the UDD label on them. "If people see those signs they can inform the red-shirt leaders or the police immediately," UDD co-leader Natthawut Saikua said.

Pom Michael Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I love all the talk about the govt/police to arrest the wrongdoers! Uh - both Red / Yellow shirts can break laws, but if ANYONE else does, let's help the police arrest them! Arai Wa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
