Flashermac Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Can't do that. It would make Thaksin's money worth less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'm sure he has a pile stashed in several currencies. The Thai gov grabbed a pile of the money he had in LOS. He sold to Singapore, so I would expect a mountain of cash stuffed in the Singapore banks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldFun Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Phichit farmers to head to Bangkok Phichit-based farmers are planning to head to Bangkok this week for the ultimate goal of ousting the government, which is now blamed for rice-pledging scheme's delayed payment. "We will mobilise hundreds of farm vehicles in our march to the capital," Northern Farmers Network's chairman Kittisak Rattanawaraha said Tuesday. Farmers and supporters of the anti-government People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) decided to end their rally in front of the Phichit City Hall after their activities failed to get any response from the government. http://www.nationmul...k-30224835.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Rice farmers join PDRC in Phichit blockade FOR THE FIRST TIME in a week-long rally demanding immediate payment for rice sold under the government pledging scheme, farmers in Phichit yesterday joined supporters of the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) to block the provincial city hall and prevent civil servants from performing their duties. Farmers from Phichit and nearby provinces blockaded Bung Narang district office on Sunday evening, while those blocking a key junction in the district agreed to make way for traffic and moved to join protesters at the district office. The farmers and members of the PDRC padlocked the city hall and were continuing a blockade as of press time last night. The Phichit-based farmers, along with those from Nakhon Sawan, Sukhothai and Kamphaeng Phet, have also signed a complaint addressed to His Majesty the King. Meanwhile, about 1,000 farmers gathered outside city hall in Chiang Rai and demanded immediate payment for their long-overdue subsidy. Protest leader Theethawat Sitthisom said the rally was peaceful and not linked to the PDRC movement. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Rice-farmers-join-PDRC-in-Phichit-blockade-30224791.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldFun Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 that is quite remarkable isnt it...some farmers actually realise they took a bet on the wrong horse & are ready to admit it and improve their odds probably this is the trigger behind the emergency degree...and not the few grenades thrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorldFun Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 exactly, but will the state of emergency deter the farmers? what works against a mass uprising of farmers however is that still quite a bit of harvest work/farming needs to be done at this time, but surely there should be plenty of upset farmers to make a mess in the capital...just like the french farmers did in paris not so many years ago pijit really is a nice place & apparently home to quite reaSONABLE people & a few nice girls too not to mention crocs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
