CNN : Thaksin takes a stand.

[THRICEZ]

Best PM here, so he got vote again from the majority of Thai people. Everything is clearly from the latest election.

[justakey]

All the people like thaksin or think that he I a good guy is a dumb ass people and blind people fuck all you red buffalo people and hope you all die and burn in hell for what you done to Thailand and the king

[applebluezizyy]

Fuck offfffffff ,,,,,

[NoThaipressident]

Thugsin is an asshole corrupted mother fucker around. Thai people should keep him stay fucked off Thailand. Fuck You Thugsin. Fuck you very much.

[snowman72891]

thaksin is a great man

[papafather84]

go to halll..... f u..

[fartknocker31]

Hahhahaha, Blame it all on Taksin. yeah, real smart. Nice assumption. He's the same as every other politician in Thai history, except he had the balls to stand up to the elites. That's why he got booted out. it's no secret

[TommyRoxx69]

TAKES A STAND IN COURT, DUDE....NOT CNN!!

[apache318]

For - scottyboil23

Your vulgar language is very dis-respectful and shows your socioeconomic level. If you know Thaksin, he fights for people even at your level. But you are to ignorant to realize it. The people behind Abhisit is the Royal Family that finds Thaksin's popular program a threat to their existence. So they are the ones behind Thaksin exile, jail term and accusation of TERRORIST. Examine the evidence and stop watching the boob tube propaganda from the Abhisit Administration.

[gareedaeng]

FASCIST HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATOR, MONEY DOESN'T BUY TRUTH,NOW YOUR A CONVICTED CRIMINAL

[inmotionq]

Cooperate very well by ran out of the country yourself before the court could get to you? Never bend to rules? You sold your stocks to Temasek for about 3 billions dollars and change the law few days before that you don't have to pay capital gain tax? How much did you pay Dan rivers? Drop dead both of you.

[apache318]

Long Live Mr. Thaksin!!! A very good person!!!

[scottyboii23]

@apache318 your a dumbass he stole billion of thai money from us and used it for himself and children... they dont care bout thailand.. just the money you fuck

[ShuffleLoves]

WE LOVE THAKSIN SO MUCH. Thailand wait he come back. LOVE YOU THAKSIN

[pimmmms]

SUCH A LIAR!

[christank777]

True democracy my ass.... keep buying your votes and paying for the people to hold protests on your chicken shit behalf. BTW.. Dan Rivers is a fucking idiot

[Kaizerassasin]

STFU, Man. STFU!

I'm glad that he's somewhere else now.

The only goal he needs to reach right now is to be dead.

[boatdebb]

สตอเบอร์รี่

[YangQi1]

He was the Best , long life Thaksin and thank you for new Era of Democracy .

[Kaizerassasin]

@YangQi1 Is that a sarcasm or are you being serious? If you are, wtf!?

[sperle2009]

this is quite interestiong footage !

[barthoedemaker]

The best !

[YangQi1]

Thais in Germany love u too, wie in Deutschland foerdern lediglich eine neue Wahl,

und dann wer gewinnt , akzeptieren wir ihn, keine Sorge .

Lassen Sie die neue Wahl in Thailand stattfinden, danke !

[jessica4stein]

Baseless accusation? Come back and fight via the court system, will you? like the rest of Thai people.

Flee the country and spend luxury life abroad is a better option perhaps.

[annchanon]

Sad..that people bite Thai king when he is not well...how come people do this??? This is his last happiness life in Thailand...why you guys try to attack him while him is no well...it s like a crow and dog..taking some pieces out off someone body while he or she could even fight..??????? SAD

[regenundname]

he's the bad one honestly. he broke the rules of course with the avoiding of paying taxes, it's a big problem and we can call that corruption.

[KhmerSerey1]

he doesen't have to be in thailand to rule over the thais...he can still rule from oversea...

[nuttae]

Thaksin

bad man

fack world

[brlt21]

-Sanoh Tienthong (an old politician who helped Thaksin to win the 2001 election)

said in a famous interview : I warned (Thaksin) about some ministers committing corruption because I thought he did not know. To my big surprise, Thaksin himself ordered all those. Any Ministers, who did not follow the orders, later could not stay on.The current conflicts originated from the only single cause that is Thaksin. This person cheated to get the power. With power in his hands, he remains cheating

[brlt21]

The Thaksins raw material is the corruption. Dishonest politicians like Thaksin, can make a lot of money, if they build solid cronies and families cartel... if they dedicate a large part of they dishonest profits in marketing to cover up their disgraceful practices. In Thailand, north eastern people are the majority, they are less educated, and have less access to diversified news. So, they are more disposed to be victimized when some body wants to sell them a fake product (fake democracy)

[MindEFX]

Fux you mother fucker... LMAO... you never bend the rule? Go fuck your mom...

[barthoedemaker]

Thailand is ruled by the king and military. And people still admire the King? Please wake up thai people.

[u4003030]

@barthoedemaker Yes, in fact, many. The King has done so many things for the people(if you actually did research) and the explanation for today's redshirt riots are because their source of news were biased. For example, announcing that the King would still be in throne when Thaksin comes back, when their goal is the opposite.

[Extacy2009]

Thailand has plenty of information about Thaksin Shinawatra ordered Muslims killed 3,000 people in Thailand and ordered killing people is not a fault error 4000. They claim that suppress drug

And important institutions, he is behind attacks king

[TommyRoxx69]

Politicians hide themselves away.

They only started the war.

Why should they go out to fight?

They leave that role to the poor, yeah.

Time will tell on their power minds,

making war just for fun.

Treating people just like pawns in chess,

wait till their judgement day comes, yeah.

Black Sabbath, War Pigs

[designbyasia]

if you don't know the truth of what really going on you shouldn't make a report to confued people

[TommyRoxx69]

evidence?......there're so many of them so stop bullshitin' the whole world, dude...like your wife bought that Ratchada's land, hiding your money to the drivers and maids, CTX9000, etc. you can lie to CNN, BBC and all the paid-off Tele' but you can't lie to yourself.

[BeeFreeLiee]

I love Ur comments.

These are coming with the great summary.

[selorgif]

one word, never worse!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Itsoeasyafterall]

satan is waiting for him down there, walk with him in hell Thaksin

[hirojha]

Oh Pai Takshin !

Don't come Back Thailand

[hirojha]

[hirojha]

ohpai takshin

[Thai2552]

the worst former priminister Thailand has ever had. Sham on him and his familly. I hope that he die soon.

[letmypplebefree]

@Thai2552 Thailand without Taksin...is now a weak economy and more corruption..I think Thailand was better off with Taksin..becoz right now Thailand is...really a shit place to be.

[rip13th]

He's an ASSHOLE!!!! I'll hope, He'll SHUT TA'FUCKUP!!!

[nushienoriz]

a *ucking liar !

there'll be no place for u even in hell dude !

[bonkjung]

shame on u!! -*-

[NPTeerarat]

Thaksin should go to hell he's done worse for thailand not better

[bkwdc]

Don't believe in a word he said. He is not only brainwashing those redshirted supporters with propanganda, but also throwing money at them.

[bkwdc]

Thaksin, you are such a coward. Come out from your hiding. I bet you are sipping wine and watch your red-shirts making a mess for you.

[XMARINEmax]

THAKSIN YOU ARE HERO

YELLOW SCUM STARTED ALL THIS MESS AND i HOPE THE MILITARY BACKED UN-ELECTED, UN-DEMOCRATIC PRESENT 'GOVERNMENT' IS HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR IT'S LIES ABOUT YOU!

They OWE YOU MAN!

[moddy251]

i heard there was rumor about him getting thing done in Thailand the wrong way and the people that work for him get expensive vocations. But if democracy is goiong to work you have to give every body the right to tell their side of the story...even if they're the guillty one

[avaoil24]

THAKSIN...MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!!!­!

[menkeechang]

Thaksin is the greatest traitor the country has ever seen.

[micropat1]

He is a liar. Doing everything for himself to get back to power even destroying the country using "democracy" word

[XMARINEmax]

Warning: un-elected Abhisit.

THaksin just wants democracy to return to Thailand, so that he can come back here to fight court charges in a fair manner and that the poor can rise against present dictatorship who are backed by tha army generals and corrupt government

. Many red shirts are willing to storm BKK and voice their opinions on their own. Almost everything (media, military, courts, etc) is controlled by the government, and the government is backed by the Privy Council.

[piyapongse]

Big liar...

If you stop, thai democracy continues...

[No1ZeBoMB]

nope,

first of all, i'm not a thai politician,

but i knew you rich bastards hated his guts when he was in power,

which i understand cus your arses were being obliberated by the wrath of his godlike experience

and secondly the money sent into thailand due to Tourism has given thailand the opposition to gain the buiseness within the following years.

what we're having at the moment is a competition with Vietnam, Loas, and Myanmar.

it was a pity, we were close to Malaysia,

and SG.

[scubabiz]

[pantamit4eva]

cmon lack of evidence? there're hell lots of evidence but they're mostly not materialistics. But anyway, the court setenced thaksin to jail for 2 years but he ran away to other country saying the court is injustice. He doesn't have any excuse now!

goddamn corrupted rich cowardly liar.

[apache318]

Ignorant! HELLO did you go to school?

[pantamit4eva]

Yes, I did. i dunno about u though

[mamamyny]

I am paying 40% tax every month. I think everyday how should I reduce my tax bill. If I know how to get tax reduction and it is not illegal, I would absolutely do it. Am I wrong??

I won't be wrong if I am ordinary people. But I will be so wrong if I happen to be PM.

Selling Shin Corp without paying tax is not illegal, but it is just inappropriate because Thaksin is PM.

[GomerfromIsaan]

You minority pad supporters cried like babies when Thaksin was in office criticizing the biased media. Where were you when the army completely censored the press, blocked websites and took away your freedom? Now you have your freedom back and are crying like babies again because your party cannot win a national election.

[Sirnoneeka]

Land ownership was introduced to Southeast Asia during the colonial period. It was during rama V, the movie "Anna and I" (which was prohibited in Thailand), when Anna helped this Middle East laborers rama I clans, dressed like European, that the land ownership began.

If THAKSIN wants a Public Relation, pay it himself. Do not steal from urban poor Chinese in Bangkok.

Everyone is equal in Thailand.

THAKSIN SHINWATRA SHOULD PAY TAXES WHEN HE SOLD SHIN CORP.

[novelenergy]

You don't know the laws.

What's type of tax?

You know?

SHIN CORP ???

[hugkiesyoo]

Taksin the best

[Sirnoneeka]

So you and your family like to be FUCK in the ass huh? Thats what he's doing! and all you dumb fucks just Grin and say "Thaksin the best". Open you eyes!

[novelenergy]

YES. I support your position.

Thaksin is the best.

[joeysky18]

He never bended the rule. He CHANGED the rule to accomodate his interest. Classic case of a someone that lie to other, lie to himself, and believe in his own lies.

[novelenergy]

He never CHANGED the rule to accomodate his interest. You never read the Thai Laws intentionally. You believe Shothi.

I Know the laws because I am Ph.D. student.

Thaksin is the best.

[Littlebirdee]

Mr. Thaksin, it was the king who was behind the coup because he afraid you will become the first President of Thailand. There should be no more monarchy in the world. How dare the Thai king called himselft as my Hindu God, RAMA. It's also insulted to Budhists people: PraBhudaLuang, PraChaoYouhua of Thai Monks. He is really a real Bhudhist, 555!

[serithai2]

Bird/Cat/Bird...ok you decide to become a bird. Please stop pretending to be an Indian or Hindu. You are THAI that is why you use "555" to express laughter. All Thai people must put aside differences and work for a stronger Thailand---we watch the 2007 constitution ALL OF US not just anti-coup or pro-coup there is ONE THAILAND. Littlebirdee is a troll posting her nonsense on every video. SPAM SPAM SPAM!

[daowz]

and all of this ***t happened to our country is because of only one person not the king but who do u think is paying CNN and other countrys to support him

if he really is thai in his blood he is not a true thai he does not love thailand he was only trying to get power then when he got caught he wants revenge

[daowz]

u guys only listen to one side story and have anyone asked thai citizen do we want taksin "NOOO" do we LOVE and want our king "YESS" do we want a coutry to be constitutional monarchy like it is to day or do we want a corruption democracy like taksin is trying to force us to have ?

[levenisme]

Perhaps Thaksin is not clean, perhaps he really doing corruption. But what if a person who corrupt at the same time help the country to move? Everybody is saying democracy, but what can democracy bring to an undevelop country? Political fighting? Power-play? Timeless Coup?

Just c de south-east , which country is the most democratic 1? Philippines. Which is the most develop 1?

Singapore n Malaysia, both having "dictator" kind of leader in their history (Lee Kuan Yew and Mahathir)

[kaiteng]

Do Thais have chances to have unbiased media and think for themselves? Thaksin and Sondhi are bullshit, both of them! I'd rather had a guy like Chuan as PM. His reaction to political issues is so slow so corruption processes could be little bit slower than Thaksin. lol

[kansung]

oh comeon this's all his bull shit

[kansung]

you dam thaksin stop bullshitting about yourself now. You think money can do anything fuckl

[Yngwie811]

Very Lair .You A Bastter Thaksin Kill You Sefe!!!

[fleabrator]

CNN an American CIA? CNN recieved millions from Thaksin to help him. Thaksin hired an American Lobbyist to help him. CNN, if you can tell the whole world that Iraq has weapon of Mass D. and it was wrong!

I hate Ametica. You fuck up!

Leave Thailand alone youi Bitch!@

[magikbymoonlight]

I support the king and I am American. CNN and the current regime we have in place is NOT America so please don't say you hate America! Because you know we would turn Thailand into a parking lot if you stepped to us.  LOL

[evercareholmac]

liar

[Isra555]

for the good of future Thai country, we need to have rule of law decide if corruption happen, I hope we can work together and show everyone that we build good structure to the country and not need force / military to solve problems. We must learn to make internal structure good enough.

[kohsija]

Thai will be a second Argentina...

[atipc]

Hey, that wouldn't be bad...Argentina has lots of good looking chicks. I wouldn't mind that. Hmm...maybe I should start learning Portuguese. But never mind, back to the ISSUE, almost the whole country support Thanksin (I'm one of them) and I know that our side will win eventually. There's no Coup in the world can withstand the PEOPLE power!

[burmapride]

if only Burma can be brought into the equation of the investigations for Thanksin's business activities..but NOOOOO!!!, thou shalt not pissoff the Generals next door.

[myculvert]

investigations on thaksin and his gangs have been tightening, with many cases nearing charges which involves jail sentences. once thaksin and the gang are charged, the cases go straight to the supreme court for politicians. the investigation to find thaksin and his gangs has been tightening, with many cases are nearing charges - many involves jail sentences.

thaksin is very concern with the jail terms. thus all the underground activities.

[myculvert]

a lot of money has been spent by thaksin for lots of undercurrent activities, ranging from various mobs, school-burnings (now over 45), bombs.

[myculvert]

rumor had it that thaksin paid $15million to get that interview. regardless of the truth of that, this is part of thaksin's attempt to discredit and destroy the current thai military junta and government.

[sontiboom]

Taksin should not go to meet Singapore foreign minister and also his world tour try get help from other country when he is not welcome to govern Thai people. Taksin get out !

[nung2008]

Dude, why don't you yourself get out? Majority of the people voted for him and sure will vote for him again if he eventually decides to come back to politics.

P.M. Thaksin has got so much money before he entered politics that he and his immediate family can live luxuriously for the rest of their lives without having to earn a single cent more.

You're just one of a handfull group of people who blindly think that you're better than the rest of the people who voted for him.

[sirpatrickofswayze]

Taksin's got lots of support but not from the most important elite in the capital. As for voting him out, that would not work and the generals knew that. Thailand must wait for a better future government soon!

[TimothyDeLaGhetto2]

maaaaaaan, regardless of proof or not, hundreds of thousands of people wouldnt have come together for something that they were blindly believing. obviously these people have been victims of a corrupt government and they realized it was time for a change

[igimaru]

actually yes, a majority population of a country can be deceived, example? the u.s citizens when they first went to war.

people of indonesia the country where i grew up 1st thought soeharto as a savior turns out to be a dictator.

[thebigboy007]

Now, the game is changed, Thaksin tries to use foreign media to support him. He can lie on CNN, so banning his news was necessary.

CNN must think about it, not just accuse this action by telling people all over the world only what you want to say. You are not his tool.

[redblackjack]

Its just pathetic for people who cant think and analysis the information but accepted only information from sondhi. (if you're thai you know what I mean)

Those thais are like frogs choose their leader like in the bed time story.

They think they're so dam smart but infact they're nothing but just tools for the coup.

[Freeze115]

In fact, we are waiting for him to come back on trial for his corruption cases (of course, if he dares to).

If Saddam deserves a hang for what he did, this Thaksin deserves not a hang, but two. At least Saddam did everything for his own country, but this Toxin did everything just for his family and his business partners.

[burmapride]

Most ppl in rural areas (also the majority) support him bcos of a few good things he did for agriculture (actually the Thai King deserves more credit). They are not aware of his corruption and abuse like ppl in the cities who witness these. Dont get me wrong, I'm not saying the Generals are better. But Thaksin is no democracy hero.

[BaldEaglesNest]

If they dislike him so much why not just vote him out? Why would a coup be necessary?

[AxelSoul]

im thai

[StopGeneralizing2day]

Thaskin The Thief!!

Where does he run to..Britian in Agreement with the US..Nations with a History of exploitation and thievery..And when he least expects it...they will rob him and his swiss accounts...

Thaskin ripped off the future of his people through Theivery.

[burmapride]

Obviously, most of u arent familiar with Thaksin. But most Thais don't even know. His telecom company partners with the Burmese junta where both parties stash the money into their pockets while making the most out of their government roles such as tax evading, falsified figures, etc. Not to mention how he sold his billion dollar shares to Singapore without having to pay the due tax. Just because he wears a business suit does not mean he isnt a dictator. Good riddance!

[atipc]

There you go again talking about Singapore - a small country with nothing at all.

They don't even have fresh water (imported from Malaysia). Compare to us (Thailand)

we have everything. Weren't they supposed to be poor? Weren't we supposed to be RICH?

Shamefully, has anyone ever think about it?

[RockyHero]

So what's your point? Are you trying to say that Singaporeans doesn't deserve the life style that most have worked so hard to achieve? In case you didnt know small doesn't mean weak and big doesn't mean strong. Size doesn't matter, the brain does. Morever we are not exactly that type of country that seems like everyone is living happily, and not all of us are rich. The country may be rich but most of the citizens are not

[atipc]

That's exactly my point! It's our Thai-mentality (not our BRAIN) that kept us from becoming a developed country. It's obvious that People think differently, but people have to accept the RULES and that's why we have election! Not only that, things, I'm ashamed the most is the fact that our oldest political party boycotted the last Election!

[GOODSAMHOSPITAL]

...

[redblackjack]

The coup has no any real good intension to restore the democracy,they come for their own benefit.

All accusations had no any evidence to support and the coup refused mr.thaksin to come back and fight in a law court.

The martial law that declared on 19 september 2006 still remains in place.

[redblackjack]

I'm a thai and thaksin is not a dictator .

Its the coup government the only one who is totally dictator.

Some medias in thailand created propaganda to conviced thai people to believed that thanksin is a corrupted PM and sell our nation.Thai army took this chance and they made coup d'etat in 19 september 2006.

[Freeze115]

Please stop commenting if you are not Thai. How can you know the situation in Thailand better than Thais. What Taksin has done is just for himself not the country.

[nung2008]

How pathetic!!

I'm quite sure that these comments were posted by people who love Thailand, a Thai citizen or whatsoever, just like myself.

You've got to look at things way beyond your self-centered pathetic point of view.

If you're not one of them and you're keen to discuss the issues reasonably, just let me know.

[thobphon]

Pathetic!!!

That means no one can comment on everything right?

Free speech is on of the agreement in Universal Declaration of Human Right and the First amendment of the United States' constituion.

and on the "How can you know the situation in Thailand better than Thais." -- This is one of the close-minded question people always ask, and probably the speaker may not willing to discuss the issue in academic ways, I think.

[atipc]

So you think you better than other people?

Don't understand the meaning of "Democracy", Do you?

He came from the PEOPLE!

It's the people choice, LOVE or HATE it, we have to respect the outcome...

And here for the COUP....D@mn U allll!!

[nung2008]

This is an awesome video. Frankly, this CNN reporter is quite brave to get the truth out to the world while he's still in Thailand at this moment.

I'd like to comment more on this video, but i'll do it another time!!!

Will save my ass for now.

[kadai]

"I'm not a dictator"

Certainly, Thaksin is not a dictator. But wait... what's the name of Thailand's dictator at the moment? :P

[kah064]

The coup is for dictator. How can they said they did it for democratic. It's just wrong.

[anonpl]

Awesome video.. Thai people must have a chance to view this video
