Yup - decided to stay in today!
You couldn't make the shit up that goes on here. Some Billionaire PM tried to destroy the checks & balances of government. He changed a law one day and used that new law to sell his billion dollar telecom company the next.
He paid ZERO tax on the profits of that sale - nothing, nada.
He ended up doing a runner after getting convicted for 2 years - his lawyer did 6 months inside for trying to give the judges a sandwich box full of money.
So now he sits - a convicted billionaire criminal in self-impose exile, actually running the country where his sister is PM. Sounds like something out of a Bond movie.
Since she became PM, corruption has gone off the scale and they implemented some of the dumbest populist policies known to man (well, at least unless the real intention was to syphon off billions of dollars).
Now they want to borrow 2 trillion Baht for projects that are losely described on just 4 pieces of paper. That will take Thai tax payers 50 years to pay off.
Get them out I say!
