Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has written a letter to former Pheu Thai Party leader Yongyuth Wichaidit, praising him for his sacrifice for the party.

Mr Yongyuth resigned last month as deputy prime minister, interior minister, an MP and Pheu Thai leader to take responsibility for his role in the decade-old Alpine Golf Course case.

Thaksin's son, Panthongtae, offered details on his Facebook page on Saturday of the hand-written letter his father had written. It said Mr Yongyuth had shown a political spirit rarely seen in current Thai political society.

He says PTP is not getting justice. The courts just voted 9.0 not to call PTP to task over the rice scam, that a pretty big lump of justice.

Watch, tomorrow there will be some kind of a press release from Noppodon calling for exoneration or a red demand for this or that, this happens every two weeks so something is due tomorrow.

What a joke. By any proper moral standard he has resigned in disgrace because of his criminal activities.

By PT moral standards, he has done very well and deserves praise.

There's a lesson in there somewhere ...

Impressive. Not a single word in his letter is true. From Yongyuth's "sacrifice" to PTP not recieving justice. The only reason why his party has to be careful,is because some of it's voters might one day realise they were lied to and used from the very beginning and vote for another party. That include the misguided red shirts. I think it's down-hill for the criminal master-mind from now on.

LMAO...

Get caught with fingers in the cookie jar.
Get 'asked' to resign by criminal overlord.
Get praised for resigning and showing 'morality'... Phew! I have two flavours of tears in my eyes.

Reminds me of the old proverb:
