Santa Thaksin

I'm a big believer in conspiracies; Roswell, JFK, 911, and now Thailand enters the arena with the REINDEER PLOT. Supposedly Thailand’s now-deposed Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra met with his allies in Finland to plot the overthrow of the monarchy. The exact date of the rendezvous remains a mystery other than the year.

1999, the birth of the “Finland strategy”.

Like many other conspiracy theories there is no proof of this cabal, then again cabals wouldn't be cabals without secrets and this 'Finnish Plot' gained traction in the months prior to the overthrow of Thaksin in 2006.

I can recall seeing photos of Thaksin in rural areas, where he was attired in royal yellow. At the time I thought, "damn, he's getting cheeky." for the Thais love the King and none would allow any detraction from his power, even if a coup d-etat meant the creation of a republic. Co-conspirators of Thaksin are reputed to be influential businessmen, and veterans of the 1973 uprising.

These allegations came to light in the Manager Daily, owned by Thai rak Thai rival millionaire Sondhi Limthongul, and the five-part story alleged that Thaksin went so far as to acquire a reindeer-driving license in Finland.

Santa Thaksin?

He even went up to Lapland to take lessons.

His wife did not accompany him on this boreal journeys.

She knows better than to get involved in such mad endeavors, for there is a great rumor amongst Thai journalists that the monarchy might not survive the transition from father to son, but I have witnessed the changes in his son and anyone planning on the end to the kingdom had better have a full tank in their Mercedes to take them to the border should their conspiracy fail.

It's not nice to mess with the King.

May he live long.
