(from thaivisa)(well, from The Nation first I suppose)

prize money of Bt1 million was offered yesterday to bring to Thailand fugitive ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra, who was blamed for the ongoing political conflict.

A group of people, calling themselves "United Siam", made the offer at a press conference at the Rajabhat Suan Dusit University. The group includes retired bureaucrats, senators, academics and business people.

General Somjet Bunthanom, one of the members of the Council for National Security formed after the September 2006 coup, said yesterday that the offer was aimed at preventing the country from getting into another crisis.

"It's clear that Thaksin is the root cause of the problems. So we are offering the prize money of Bt1 million to anyone who can bring Thaksin to be prosecuted in Thailand," he said.

The general said the money would be paid by business people who "see Thaksin as a severe threat to the country and its people".

The group also issued a statement accusing Thaksin and his red-shirt supporters of insulting the monarchy, publicly and clandestinely. The group called on members of the public to rise up against the red shirts.

Thaksin, who has been in exile overseas, over the past week addressed his red-shirt supporters gathering outside Government House in his nightly video linkup. He has heavily criticised certain privy councillors, in particular Privy Council President Prem Tinsulanonda, and threatened a "people's revolution".

Senator Somchai Sawangkarn, who is part of the group, said during the press conference that "some broken-hearted communists and politicians who lost their power" were part of the movement that was campaigning against the monarchy.

"We would like to call on the public to denounce the acts by Thaksin and those people who have violated the monarchy with the goal of inciting a civil war and overthrowing the establishments," he said.

<<make it 2 million and I'll kidnap the f**ker>> :lol:

My thoughts exactly...

A consortium of Thailand's richest businessmen has managed to scrape together a million baht(!) to end Thailand's political strife.

Wow! They must really be serious!

And look what happened to him...

if you are just in it for the money, kidnap him then demand more for his release. im sure he has a few more baht than 1 or 2million.

You are absolutely right!! A nice online auction with his freedom or imprisonment at stake...

Now where did I put those ex-SAS guys, the private jet and the rohypnol??

:D

im surprised nobody has shot him in the head yet.

how much are you offering??

no answer to that. But i reckon it wouldnt be hard to do and would probably cost less than TB1mil. Why bother to take a criminal and put him before a corrupt and inept justice system here? What would be achieved? Zip.

In this case, Thailand is a guilty as him. He could have been arrested and punished if Thailand was serious, but was allowed freedom, as was his wife. Totally pathetic.

I'm sure there are plenty would like to, but that would make him a martyr to the cause of "democracy" or whatever the Red shirts pretend to stand for. He's certainly not the only guy capable of leading the anti-bureaucratic masses into a dictatorship of corruption.
