SE Asian Strongmen meeting for ... weekend golf

Thaksin to Visit Hun Sen for Weekend Golf

Former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is scheduled to make an unofficial visit Saturday and Sunday for a round of golf with Prime Minister Hun Sen, Thai media reported Thursday.

Government spokesman Khieu Kanharith confirmed Thaksin would visit, but said he was not sure whether the former premier was coming this weekend or next.

Thaksin, who was ousted in a bloodless coup in 2006, has retained close ties with Cambodia, Hun Sen has said.

Thaksin lived in exile for 17 months, returning to Thailand in February. Under Thaksin, the Thai government faced allegations of corruption and rights abuses, and he was prime minister during the 2003 anti-Thai riots in Phnom Penh.

What is the big deal, dude? What are you afraid off? The worst that can happened is the name of the country changes from Cambodia to Thailand, and the tax we have to pay to Bangkok instead of Phnom Penh. There will not be any lost for anyone. The only change is the address on the tax envelope. Is that to much pain for you to handle?

Hey Viet troller/pimp/parasite/plunderer @6:55AM,

You Viet troller/intruder admitted yourself to be a Viet-born and national here on KI-Media.

You Viet troller/intruder has been dumping tons of trashes here on KI-Media over God knows how long.

You Viet troller/intruder pretends to be Cambodian/Khmer speaking up for Cambodian/Khmer and giving Cambodian/Khmer a bad name.

You Viet troller/intruder trashes everybody here on KI-Media calling Cambodian/Khmer all sort of names to boast, to sabotage and to destroy Cambodian/Khmer for the benefit of you Viet intruder/plunderer....

Now, you Viet trash/troller/intruder wants to have some real debates?

Does history and now a live example of you Viet trash/troller here on KI-Media tell Cambodian/Khmer anything about the Viet's trustworthiness?

Cambodian/Khmer and the whole world know the true colors of you Viet troller/intruder/invader/plunderer full well already.

In plain and simple English, now, and again what part of you "getting the fuck out of KI-Media" don't you freaking Viet troller/intruder/pimp/plunderer understand huh?

8:59, for the Thai to pay tax to Phnom Penh, all we have to do is to make Bangkok surrender, but that is highly unlikely.

In any case, I still say it's not a big deal. We all have to pay tax to someone. Let's not died over nothing, shall we?

Under Thaksin, the Thai government faced allegations of corruption and rights abuses.

Yes, people see it as rights abuses when Takshin declared war on drugs which saw many behind bar and deaths during the shoot out with law enforcements.

People tend to forget the good thing that Takshin did. Under his leadership, Thailand was one of the Asia country that can repay debt [double digit BILlION US dollars] to the IMF in such a short time, whilst other country is still paying now.
