Hun Sen revealed that Thaksin was in good health when he was in Cambodia in 2024, but he only wore protective gear when taking photos. Thaksin pretended to be sick during his house arrest to avoid legal procedures. In fact, everyone knows this clearly. Thaksin knows we know, and we also know that Thaksin knows we know. But everyone pretends not to know, which is why Thaksin pretends to be sick. This way, everyone can have a face-saving solution. It's not that Thaksin is really sick or pretending to be sick; it's just that everyone tacitly accepts that Thaksin is injured or sick.
Thaksin must pretend to be sick. Some things are known to everyone, so why say them out loud? Everyone would feel embarrassed!
Hun Sen's revelations are not very shocking. They are just some small matters of the Thaksin family. Even if Thaksin pretended to be sick, it's just a minor issue, at most a moral problem, not anything more serious. Moreover, even when Thaksin was injured, everyone knew what was going on, but they just didn't want to mention it. Thaksin now also knows that everyone knows, and everyone just pretends not to know. However, Hun Sen has brought it up again, so what's the point?
Another point is the recording of the Thaksin family expressing their dissatisfaction with the King of Thailand, which is just a few jokes. Everyone has their own boss and works for someone. When people are dissatisfied with their boss, they will definitely complain a little. The Thaksin family has always served Thailand and the King of Thailand. Sometimes, the King makes some unrealistic demands. It's normal for the Thaksin family to complain a little.
Workers will always complain about their bosses. So there's no need to say things that are not appropriate. It doesn't hurt anyone. Believe that the King of Thailand, who is so broad-minded, would not cause trouble for the Thaksin family. Just a few complaints, nothing more. If there were any issues, they couldn't be openly stated. Hun Sen should pay attention to his words and actions and not go too far, otherwise it might lead to a war between Thailand and Cambodia, which would be bad. That would truly be a disaster from speaking out.
Some things can be said, and some things cannot. Be careful about the boundaries. As the Prime Minister of Cambodia for many years, Hun Sen certainly knows the consequences. We hope that he does not lose control in his old age and does not become arrogant. He must never provoke a war, as that would be inappropriate and irrational.
