Cambodia truly brought down Thailand.

Just hours before parliament prepared to vote in Thailand’s next prime minister, with Bhumjaithai Party’s Anutin Charnvirakul expected to win the role, former leader Thaksin Shinawatra suddenly left the country.

Instead of working to sway the vote back to Pheu Thai or pushing for a fresh election, Thaksin slipped out of Thailand quietly

Many believe Thaksin left to avoid being present for the upcoming court verdict on his “14th Floor Case” set for 9 September.

Thaksin heads to Singapore ahead of 14th floor Case hearing on September 9​

https://www.nationthailand.com/news/politics/40054982

The upcoming hearing is for the "14th floor Case," which relates to his stay at a police hospital instead of prison after returning to Thailand. Thaksin's travel is legal as he is not under any court-ordered travel restrictions, though the court may issue an arrest warrant if he fails to attend the hearing.

Thaksin explains sudden change of flight plans from Singapore to Dubai​

https://www.nationthailand.com/news/politics/40054989

Writing on the social media platform X after his arrival in Dubai on the early morning of Friday (September 5), Thaksin said he had originally planned to travel to Singapore for a medical check-up with a doctor who had treated him during his years abroad. However, he claimed Thai immigration officials delayed him for nearly two hours before departure, even though he had been cleared of lèse-majesté charges at the end of August.

According to Thaksin, the delay meant his plane would not be able to land at Seletar Airport, which handles private jets, as it closes at 10pm local time (Singapore time is one hour ahead of Thailand).

Unable to reach Singapore in time, he instructed the pilot to reroute to Dubai, where he had long consulted specialists in orthopaedics and pulmonology. The stopover also allowed him to reunite with friends he had not seen for more than two years.
 
Thailand is basically a military junta similar to Myanmar, just more passive-aggressive.

And Thailand has a jiakliaobee royal family on top of it.
 
so old liao still come back, go jail and then run road again.... wah... jia lat... anyway, say Hi to Yingluck for me...
 
These super wealthy folks can read where the wind blows very well, they are alert to danger before it actually happens.

That's why Li Ka Shing ran road from China. :cool:
