The outgoing Government seems to have communication Problems.
Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said in an interview:
“The government will pay the 20-million-euro bond itself, to make clear that the crown prince has no involvement in the case which is between the government and a private company,” (The Nation, 2.8.2011)
while his Boss, outgoing PM Abhisit, told the opposite in an interview after an audience with Thailand‘s Crown Prince yesterday.
“The government will try to resolve the problem in a manner that will not cause the Crown Prince any trouble,” Mr Abhisit said.
He said the government will ensure the dispute does not hurt bilateral ties between the two countries and does not affect the royal institution, according to the wishes of the Crown Prince.
Mr Abhisit said a Thai legal team will travel to Berlin today and will try to ensure the dispute is resolved this month.
He stressed that the government will not pay the surety for the release of the jet and at the same time will take steps to prevent any adverse repercussions stemming from the issue.
