Thaksin: Thai, Nicaraguan, European, what next?

Thaksin holds a Montenegro passport now, and he's bidding for an island there! The island he plans to buy is called Sveti Nikola Island near Budva. It's also known as "Hawaii" or "Školj" by the locals. He sees a potential to develop the island into a tourist destination.



Sveti Nikola Island (St Nicholas) is the biggest Montenegrian island, 2 km long, with the highest point of 121 m above sea level. It is connected with Budva with the stripe of land which surfaces during low water.



Off the beaten path? Thailand and Montenegro have just established diplomatic relations since late 2007. Neither country has had an embassy or consulate within the country. Thaksin is a smart man but how long before his exile ends and he gets thrown into a Thai jail? His English is horrible and there's no hope he'll ever pick up any of the European languages.

A famous fortune teller once predicted that Thaksin will live in exile one day and lose everything.



Thaksin Shinawatra never fails to amaze me.
