Any suggestions of where else to go for holiday because I'm getting less keen to go back to Thailand every day - it could be me banged up for something I didn't do too

Today Cambodia.. if you wait a while, Myanmar will piss all over Thailand as a tourist destination.

Som nam na Thailand: nice little goose that laid golden eggs until your greed and corruption tempted you to eat it. I hope you enjoyed your little feast..555

southern cambodia.. cheaper and better

_{How about actually giving the refunds that have been on the books for years: VAT refunds for certified exports and losses carried forward for 5 years, both of which are very much at the discretion of tax authorities. Thailand looks more and more like a failed state.}

Thonglor police certainly were less finicky about testing when the Red Bull Brat walked after wiping out one of their spawn. Lets hope that the Ko Tao murders hits Thailand where it hurts..... in the wallets, and the despicable police scum get blamed for it.

My god, what is going on in this country.... The brown nosing to the Junta shows Thailand for what it really is, an uneducated feudal kleptocracy. The campaign for happiness has absolutely no future, given the pea brains running it. . I think it is time to leave............

pity

Whatever the police do now, Thailand's DNA has been revealed to the world as being totally corrupt. Even my 84 year old mother commented on this. I feel quite delighted that at least some justice was served in this case, and have no pity for the accused.

Perhaps the UK Government should just do their own analysis on any samples recovered and fully publish them online for future verification by anyone who cares to do so.

For example the parents / siblings of the accused will show familial matches with the evidence assuming they are guilty.

This won't go away, proof of innocence would be just as damning as proof of guilt.

I suspect the Burmese and British governments will be setting this up right now if they care at all about this case.

There's nothing the Thai's could do to prevent this or meddle with it in any way.

All of us here with any experience of the Thai police know that they are venal beyond measure: most of us have been extorted to pay bribes for spurious traffic offences, knowing full well that a part is passed up to a police generals bank account ( note: a chief of police with nearly a billion baht of family assets , anyone?}

The criminal justice system in Thailand is beyond a joke, and it behoves the British representation here to conduct heir own investigation.

Britain's values include fairness and justice for all, certainly very different to Thailand values. F....k the quick baht and the trade deals. Leave that level of diplomacy to Thailand. Take the moral high ground and investigate this by British police.

No one with any experience of Thailand trusts the police. Most of us have paid bribes for spurious traffic offences, knowing full well that a part of it ends up in a police general's bank account ( chief of police with nearly a billion baht of declared assets, anyone?)

The justice system in Thailand is a complete joke to anyone with the slightest exposure to it.

It behoves the British representation here to do their job in this case, and F...k the foreign trade. Britain's values reside in justice and fairness for all, not in a short term grab for the cash. Leave that to Thailand, please and take the moral high ground>>>>>>>>>>

They are just trying to cover their <deleted>.

They know they are in the wrong, they know what they have done and now they are threatening people speaking against them.

But the voice coming from the Thais and the foreigners is too loud and they will not be able to supress it.

The truth will come out one day, either they like it or not.

Yes, but in true thai style the truth will never be known in Thailand.

- Saudi gems case (23 years and counting) Suspects and rumours aplenty, but zip.......

- Chalerm's "driver/son" shooting someone in a pub (around 19 years and counting) zip...

- the red bull brat (2 years?? ? zip....

and countless other cases.

Maybe it explains why some police chiefs are USD multi millionaires

u should have used a condom

This is HUGE news: Thailand invented something,

Thailand needs lots of development. When these guys and gals get of their behind there will be plenty of work. Are they capable of creating their own jobs? Thailand has a long way to go with plenty of opportunities. The money lies in the street.

It has its advantages... Pretty young female university graduates are accommodating for the price of a fake brand-name handbag. Why do you think Bangkok got an international airport!

Same the world over for most fields of study. parents were wrong to send their kids to university. trade school is a better bet for most

And at 25 years of age they will have accrued more wealth than the usual university graduate, especially in a country like Australia. Plumbers and electricians do quite well for themselves. Vocational courses are seen only for the poor people, which is pretty sad. Salaries are very low here too.

Try in Belgium to find a plumper my ant at to wheat about 2 months to get a plumber at home for repair

well, I assume that english language skills are in short supply in Belgium

And, let's face it. Most Thai Bachelor degrees aren't worth the paper they are printed on.

Especially a BA in " English '.

Thailand beach murders: Desperate police DNA test WOMEN and measure footprints in bizarre public investigation

Thai police this morning DNA tested WOMEN to see if they were involved in the horrific murders of Hannah Witheridge and David Miller.

The female bar and restaurant workers were all given a sign to hold with a number and their name on it.

They were then photographed and forced to have their FOOTPRINTS tested.

Local staff – women and men – were also given mouth swabs on the beach.

These were the extraordinary scenes on the island of Koh Tao this morning as police tried to find the killer.

Just two yards from where the murder weapon – a bloodied garden hoe – was found they lined up dozens of local staff.

They waited politely to be called and then went back to work in local bars and restaurants as the testing finished.

Interesting. Women who deposit semen inside another woman... thats a new one on me! Maybe they were pissed off that their BF wanted a go with a farang woman.

Dit no hab in Thailang. I neber see kid him tewenty peepen in but songtheaw, No, dit neber happen in dit cuntly. Dit cuntly sibilite too mut!!

..............but there certainly was a whiff of corruption when eminent military and police officers bought GT 200 'bomb detectors'. Not surprisingly, as far as I know, the only guy who went to prison was the Irishman who sold them to Thailand's noblest, now doing time in a UK jail, . Maybe the senior officers who approved the purchases, are in the cabinet now, so its OK.

818 in total were sold to Thailand: I suppose it was all a misunderstanding.......not a hint of corruption....... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GT200 provides more info.

GTG, a pig just flew by.

Thai self esteem is indeed a delicate little thing

The truth of this story will never be known. Those who really knew have been silenced, one way or the other, and will forever remain a "mystery".

A diamond such as this would only be fit for a..... oh I will have to mind my P's and Q's at this point.

i find my own knees quite effective in passing hints forward...
