The ruling Junta won't drop these charges against the media as they will lose face and some of these Navy officials may be serving in Prayuth's cabinet. Dropping the charges against the aussie who merely repeated what another wrote would go a long way in restoring Thai/Australian relationship but it is all about face. Keeping a lid on the Junta's involvement in human trafficking is also important.

Paddy Mc Cartin, suppose to be a number 1 draft pick, what a useless piece of crap he is. You have guys like Newness, Leone and Sinclair who were taken well down the order have developed into better players than bloody paddy. Dump the useless piece of excrement

Paddy who?

That's what the history books will probably say. He may have been big and stood out with the kids last year but he is not cut out for the elite level. He was soiling his pants and needed his mum last night, dropped everything and was just in the way of his team mates. The media is going to tear him apart as one of these number one picks who never made it.

The countries "Veterans Day"

How bloody insulting it's called "ANZAC DAY" Who wrote this, an American? Aussies and Kiwis are very proud of the name and trying to Americanise it with the term Veterans Day is totally disrespectful to those that proudly called themselves ANZACS.

Darn right.

Big Kev would have been spitting BBq sauce over it.

BBQ sauce is American.

The Thai Army seems to be making a lot of mistakes recently.

The whole Junta is a total cluster <deleted>.

Vote buying

I agree with a poster who said something like "the most attractive women who are available to older expats." Maybe that's Thailand, I don't know.

Just in looks I would rate Vietnamese and S. Korean women above Thais but we all see things differently.

How can you tell the difference between a Korean, Thai and Vietnamese woman? The Thai guards who only let Thai people use the beach can't tell. The Thai immigration people can't tell. The Thai men in any club can't tell. How can you?

They speak a different language.

Like my wife, 20 years ago...... Luckily I met her when she was more "rounded".... and even more sexy.

They only wanna look nice for us, the foreigners who live here. That's not rocket science, isn't it?

Is sh Russian?

Why do they spend so much on whitening creams and cosmetic surgery to look like Aussie chicks if they are so beautiful?

Politicians from the south?????? Isn't that where suthep comes from??????? Wow! Looks like he still has his fingers in it to a degree maybe.

Anyway he did a good job in

showing the incompetence and corruption of the PTP government

.... yes, yes he seems to have been corrupt, too .... but does that mean he could not start an honest and necessary campaign?

could bonnie & Clyde manage a bank?

It has been ANZAC Day for decades. Every year it is a national day of pride and remembrance. Nothing Americanized about it. Facts people, facts.

You definately never, ever served in the Australian military, refering to the most sacred day in Australian history by the American name of Veterans Day instead of its real name of ANZAC DAY is a huge insult to the ANZACS, thier families and thier memories. It is also a great insult to all past and serving Australian/New Zealand military men an women. My Great Grandfather landed on Gallipoli at 22 years of age he was not a VETERAN he was an ANZAC.

When you sign in to fantasy,go to leagues and click on that and thailand mob will come up.

Thanks, now how often and when can we change players?

The controversy was about using Anzac, not not using it. Read the article.

I am refering to the term Veterans Day in the article which is wrong and insulting it is ANZAC DAY, I am an ex serviceman and the use of the term Veteran in place of ANZAC by the journalist is insulting

SAMUI ATTACK

Ex-MPs 'involved' in bomb blast

The Nation

Police deputy chief says politicians supported the attack; Phra Suthep slammed by Pheu Thai for hinting at Thaksin's role

BANGKOK: -- FORMER MPS with significant influence in the South might have been involved in the recent vehicle-bomb blast at Central Festival Samui shopping mall in the southern province of Surat Thani, two senior police chiefs said yesterday.

"We are confident that these politicians supported the bomb attack," deputy national police commissioner General Chakthip Chaijinda said yesterday.

He said it was suspicious that former South-based MPs had visited Surat Thani a week before the car bomb exploded at the shopping mall last Friday night, injuring many people.

"These politicians still have influence in the area," he added.

Chakthip said the bombers also clearly had links with the ongoing unrest in the deep South, given that the vehicle used for the bomb attack was stolen from Yala, one of the southernmost provinces.

He made these remarks following police questioning of more than 20 witnesses over the past five days.

"Of these witnesses, three have now been placed under military protection, police having established that they have kept contact with those involved in the deep South's unrest. So, we believe they may know something about the vehicle bomb at Central Festival Samui," he explained.

Police are now trying to locate a former security guard at the shopping mall who quit his job just before the blast, he added.

Chakthip also disclosed that recordings from security cameras showed a white Mitsubishi Triton pickup scouting the route for the Mazda pickup that was later to be used as the vehicle bomb.

"Clearly, these two vehicles headed up from the southern border provinces together. They moved in tandem along the seaside route from Yala to Songkhla, onward to Nakhon Si Thammarat, and then to Samui," he said.

"Between three and six suspects took part in the vehicle-bomb operation," he said, adding, "And one or more of them must have been female, so as to make officials feel the group was harmless."

National police commissioner General Somyot Poompanmoung, meanwhile, also said available evidence suggested that several former MPs in the South had given support and help to the vehicle-bomb instigators.

"We are handling the case in line with the evidence," he said.

Thaworn Senneam, a former deputy leader of the Democrat Party and co-leader of the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), suggested that three politicians were behind the bombing incident.

"They have lost their [vested] interests, and they are anti-National Council for Peace and Order [the military junta]," he said.

He expressed confidence that the authorities would be able to nail down the culprits by the end of the month.

Thaworn said that with Somyot stepping in to take charge of the case, it should be possible to bring the mastermind to justice, too.

Following the bomb blast, Phra Suthep Prapakaro - former PDRC secretary-general Suthep Thaugsuban - said "the man living abroad" was behind the incident, a comment that has attracted criticism from pro-Thaksin Shinawatra politicians.

Thaksin, a former prime minister, has been living overseas for years. He was ousted by a previous military coup in 2006.

Last year, the National Council for Peace and Order staged another coup, which removed the government formed by his sister, Yingluck Shinawatra, at the height of a political crisis.

At the time, the PDRC staged massive rallies against her government.

Pracha Prasopdee, a former deputy interior minister, yesterday said that as a monk, Phra Suthep should refrain from making any provocative comments.

"Don't speak in a way that will trigger a new round of conflict," he said, adding that all Thais were simply looking forward to peace and a general election.

Pheu Thai deputy spokesman Anusorn Iamsa-ard yesterday lashed out at Phra Suthep's speculation, saying that if the monk who is a former MP from Surat Thani knew who the mastermind was, he should tell the police or bring them to justice.

As a Buddhist monk, Phra Suthep should refrain from lying, as speaking an untruth was a sin under Buddhism, he said.

Deputy Government Spokesman Maj-General Sansern Kaewkamnerd said yesterday that evidence accumulated by the police would soon lead to the mastermind, but he did not pinpoint any individual or group of politicians.

If you are so confident that politicians are involved, why aren't they in custody for questioning? M Redshirt is in custody and are thier different guidelines for little people and influential people? Could it be that the politicians are aligned to people like Suthep and Prayuth so no need to arrest them as we have a scapegoat already? Who are they and why not name them if they were reds thier pics and names would be splashed all over the place.

"dancing too dirtily"

Isn't that a great headline ? Conjures up all sorts of images in one's mind, probably a bit of hip-grinding and twixing (is the the right word ?), grabbing of crotches. Hey fellas, want to to see the real thing that will curl your nose hair ? TIT

Didn't Elvis get into trouble 70 years ago for the hip grinding?

Percy who? Had to Google him as this is the 1st time I have heard the name.

Was doesn't TAT inform travel agencies around the world that bikinis and the like are no longer permitted in Thailand. Foreign tourists comming to Thailand actually think they can wear these and then fall foul of the law. They could have planned thier holiday at another destination.

Actually arrested for drink driving?
