Reply #1: These are Pro-Taksin people. Taksin and his whole family fleeced the Thai Government out of millions [View All]

if not billions of dollars. They are corrupt to the core. He has been indicted and dares not return to Thailand or he will be arrested. Yes, it is a military coup and that's never good but someone had to do something. They were stealing the country blind and not even trying to cover it up.

They bought land dirt cheap, then sold the land to the government to build a new airport. They paid no taxes on any of the income. The new airport is a disaster, crumbling runways, escalators don't work, the list goes on and on. Of course, they hired their own contractors for the work. It is so bad they are going to have to move many of the flights back to the old airport. He bought up telecommunications companies and then sold telecommunications services to the Burmese government under very lucrative government contracts. Again claimed it was government business and that he and his family owed no taxes on the revenue gained by his company. The list goes on and on.

Taksin by the way is one of Bush and Chaney's best buddies.
