00:00 Thai Prime Minister Thachin, who has been abroad for 15 years,
00:02 said goodbye to his sister this morning,
00:04 and flew to Bangkok, his hometown, Singapore.
00:08 After 15 years,
00:09 Thachin is back on Thailand.
00:12 I believe Thachin also knows
00:13 that the next stop is the prison gate.
00:16 Why is he willing to walk to the death?
00:21 What is the plan behind this
00:23 Thai National Day political drama?
00:26 At the airport, the guests met with the sons and grandsons,
00:29 took a group photo and posted it on social media.
00:31 Thachin accompanied his daughter,
00:34 and walked out of the airport gate.
00:35 Thachin, who appeared in front of everyone again,
00:37 also did a family business.
00:39 First, he kowtowed to the King of Thailand,
00:41 the Queen of Wajahat,
00:43 and then turned around to welcome his people,
00:45 waving his hands and signing the peace treaty.
00:48 There were also a large number of Red Mountain Army supporters
00:50 waiting to welcome him outside the airport.
00:52 Thachin was later escorted by police to the Supreme Court in Bangkok.
00:56 He was sentenced to 8 years in prison for the three crimes of corruption,
01:01 and was escorted by a car team to the prison
01:02 after about 40 minutes of detour.
01:06 Well, since he has been running around for so many years,
01:08 he knows that he will definitely not be able to avoid the disaster of prison.
01:11 What is the reason for Thachin's return to Thailand?
01:15 And he was also elected to the third prime ministerial election in the Thai Parliament.
01:19 He returned to Thailand in a high-profile manner
01:22 on the day when the Wai Thai Party,
01:24 which is closely related to his family, is likely to be the government.
01:26 Hmm, the political horse is deep.
01:28 The scholar does not speak, all of this is a political deal.
01:31 He is basically trying to make a deal,
01:34 forming a government with pro-military parties,
01:37 cut a deal to fast track his return with minimum jail sentence.
01:41 But the trick is that Thachin is asking to be treated as an exception.
01:48 This political scholar believes that as a leader who does not play by the rules,
01:52 Thachin wants to actively seize the opportunity to form a government with pro-military parties,
01:56 speed up the progress of returning to the country, and minimize the sentence as much as possible.
02:00 Some political analysts believe that Thachin's approach
02:02 is to create a Wai Thai Party support for himself.
02:05 In this case, Thachin has to be put in prison and become a political hostage,
02:09 to ensure that the pro-military parties support the Wai Thai Party.
02:13 Looking back at the current situation in Thailand,
02:15 in the Thai Parliament, all parties want to successfully form a group,
02:18 both to fight for sufficient ally support,
02:20 and to properly deal with the relationship between the Thai military,
02:22 and the top members of the military party,
02:24 the conservative forces.
02:26 In the past three months, everyone has been fighting for the prime minister.
02:30 The popular "Pita" who was once a hot guy,
02:34 has failed twice.
02:35 The candidate for the prime minister of the Wai Thai Party,
02:37 "Real Estate Big Boss" Sai Ta,
02:38 also said that he has already received support from the pro-military parties,
02:41 and the People's National Power Party.
02:43 The public opinion generally believes that
02:44 the Wai Thai Party and Thachin may have reached an agreement with the Thai military,
02:49 and obtained the military's assurance that Thachin's safe return to the country.
02:53 No one will believe that
02:54 Thachin's return to the country has no political purpose.
02:58 But no matter what,
02:58 the daughter of the Pita Party has repeatedly emphasized recently,
03:01 "Father, this return to the country has no political intentions,
03:04 everything is just a family affair,
03:06 it has nothing to do with the Wai Thai Party,
03:07 it has nothing to do with the third election in Thailand,
03:09 and it does not exist as a hostage."
03:12 Whether you believe it or not,
03:13 Thachin has believed it anyway.
03:15 With Thachin's return to the country,
03:16 what changes will the current situation in Thailand cause?
03:19 Will the Thachin family, which has influenced the Thai political scene for decades,
03:22 still be able to get back together?
03:24 What do you think?
