The Divided Kingdom of Thailand

by Colum Murphy

In this special REVIEW video, Thailand’s most recently ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra gives his account of why Thailand has become so politically divided in recent years and outlines a possible path toward reconciliation. Thailand, he says, cannot afford to for its people and society to be so polarized for much longer.

I feel the reporter was talking to the big liar. There was no freedom of media during Thaksin's regime. He tried to buy the media in every means so that the media would talk good about him. If he could not buy, he would undermine the media. Why didn't the reporter ask Thaksin about the bribe that his lawyers tried to lure the judge? Who came to see and ask the constitution judge to help Thaksin? Who sent people to be the general election committee? Thaksin had interfered in every organizations during his time. But, he refused everything in the video script. I would like to throw up when I heard his refusal of not doing anything. The western world has never imagined how evil Thaksin is.

I dont believe him. Because he often likes to speak to the mass,but doing. The tremendous corruption in a period of his government shows he was no longer to administrate the country, and also he helped his daugther cheat the entrance test everyone well knew. International society please stop giving him an importance, and plze convert to others better

Thailand will stop being divided when this convicted criminal with 21 additional charges waiting in the courts of all imaginable types of corruption comes back to the kingdom and moves into the jail cell he has worked so very hard to get. He funds the opposition and in my village his people offered three days wages per day for people to get on his bus to bangkok and make trouble for the government. Anyone who believes this guy is an idiot and history will show that he was a fraud, liar and a thief.
