Thaksin Runs!
Well, some of us knew that it was going to happen. If you didn’t know, Thaksin and his wife fled Thailand while visiting China for the Olympics. Not sure where they are headed but in my eyes when you run it just makes you look guilty. Maybe he is and maybe he isn’t. It’s not up to me to judge. It’s up to the Thais and their court system. Everyone deserves a fair trial but when you don’t make the trial… Oops!
From what I can read on the net, he is seeking asylum in Great Britain and will live there. Not sure for how long though. I don’t think he can seek political asylum because he is not part of the government anymore. Whether it’s self exile or just being on the run, time will tell I suppose.
Now, his wife got 3 years. Seems to me that if you get sentenced 3 years then it would be smart to do the 3 years. Now you’re on the run and if caught or extradited then you will probably do more time. Seems to me like a very stupid move. Time will tell on that one too!
Anyway, I’m not sure if Thailand politics is better off now that he’s gone. There is a lot of talk about the government stabilizing now that he’s gone. Hope so, Thais need a stable government and country…
