I have lived in Thailand for 15 years and I know all about this crook. Makes me ashamed of having been born in Germany, when I find out that he was able to bribe German officials to allow this criminal from justice to stay in Germany. Why did it take the German government so long to find out?

where u spent those 15 years? Among the elite or upper middle class who enriched themselve all the time by priviledge aand got the best part of the pie?

Well also the military coup is a wrong way to correct anything .I did not support him and do care nothing about him but u need to know that there r many face of thing

If u want to know more try to search google news with the name 'Jonathan head' he is the BBC reporter in THai and also the Economist Magazine

Well u might not like my opinion .What about BBC and the Economist? Bias too?

Thaksin is not fugitive he is a national disgrace and greedy inconsiderate person who is corrupted on every level possible. I don't support the tactics of the yellow shirt ppl or the military coup, but i hope that he will be punished by all the bad things he has done and the bad karma that he has accumulated.

'think again' can you again think of anyone else beside Jonathan Head (who sided with Mr. thugsin since day one'. Out of 30 or so of foreign correspondents in Thailand. Think again very very hard. Jonathan Head is a freelance reporter.

It just goes to show money can buy anyone, whether you're German or Thai.

I heard many people disagree with the coup or the yellow shirts' acts, but at the same token these people did not come up with ideas to solve Thailand's corrupted situation.

Thaksin is battling with stage 3 prostate cancer. What goes around comes around.

Money can buy everyone even in Germany.

Suggest to investigate deeply on the whole process.

I hope, one day, someone will write a comprehensively detailed and analytical book about this crook Thaksin and may be even a movie script. A movie will be quite useful for a nation of few book-readers. Foreigners will be amazed on the scale of swindling he did and, more interestingly, was allowed to do. Some Thais would be ashamed of supporting him in elections and just shrugged their shoulders as they would normally do when issue of accountability comes up. A second group of Thais will say, 'I told you so. Why do we have to wait so long for this?' and will recall fondly days of protest to unseat him. A third group will recall complaining the PAD's protest blocking traffics, causing them precious minutes and airport delay, but will reap the benefit as 'free-riders'. A small remaining minority will remain loyal to Thaksin as every village must have its idiot.

I totally agreed with 'ordinary person'. Why we are bothering catching him? Just keep him away from Thailand and let him die alone.
