Only In Thailand

[Captain Murgatroyd]

Public prosecutors will today commence a civil action asking the Supreme Court to sieze Bt 76 billion of Thaksin's assets on the grounds that he is "Unusually Rich".

Deputy Attorney-GeneralWaiyawut Lortrakul said the prosecution would file a 124 page writ arguing for the assets to be siezed as state property.

The frozen bank accounts of Thaksin and his family total 69 billion. More of his money is yet to be found. Waiyawut said the arguments would use statements from anti-graft busters. The prosecution evidence takes up 180 cartons, and requires a six wheel lorry to transport

I wonder what size lorry it would take to transport all the cash?

Despite what he (probably) did thats charge is farcicle. I assume the true legal meaning has gone lost in translation somewhere.

He seems to have a bottomless pit of money does that guy, they seem to be forever confiscating his money.

I don't know the true consensus of the population but the average Thai that I have spoken to on the matter liked his leadership.

[Goldfishpie]

Seems all the people in Bangkok don't like him but everyone else does. I try to avoid passing opinion on him with Thais cos you never know if they like him or not.

Depends where they are from. Most thai's in bangkok hate him, however he is liked by the farmers and up north in Chang mai
