“We supplied evidence that might be used to prove that government officers knowingly issued a Chanote for a flying SorKor 1,” Col Prawut said. “Most of those officers under investigation are high ranking ones.”

About time! Probably the same ones that issued the chanotes for the Sea Gypsy Village.

"Probably the same ones that issued the chanotes for the Sea Gypsy Village." - probably the same ones that issued the chanotes on a lot of land that foreigners have bought.

I seem to recall an army senior saying a few weeks ago show us the evidence!!!!!!!!!

Come on, spit it out, where was the scum from?

My guess is china, related to thai family here, but just a hunch.

It absolutely amazes me how people can instantly summise as to what occurred! We know nothing other than he went over the edge, yet immediately the BIB slurs come out! Unbelievable stuff!!! The first three comments clearly show this.

What a negative bunch you guys are and yes, I can take all the replies! lol

Have a nice day.

With alll due respect, is it any wonder after no struggle, hands tied behind back hangings that are suicides,the B2, broken neck of beer bottle found in room , man with cuts hangs himself , no sign of forced entry but back door was open, ask your self and you sir amaze me.

Now, define the property that is Moken and issue proper paper to them to avoid this situation in the future.

To the developers/investors.......caveat emptor, and get lost.

A lot of faces to be lost, where will they start? a refund of money to whom??? , retraction of letters from the army???? toil and trouble, let the cauldrin bubble

A brain without a heart nor guilt...

She could fit in well in a governmental role.

Well groomed for the position.

stabbed her in self defence , before she was attacked, so this is premaditated self defence, a good twist.

I agree.......

Well if you agree then you should read this mornings BK post . The DSI has found land rights documents issued over 60 years and that the Gipsies have the right to live on this land.

The DSI also states that the 3 land titles the developers hold are ilegal.

DSI also states eveidence of students still alive issued surnames from HRH , the late princess mother.

The gypsies plite has been hindered by the blocking of this information, information that they have been denied access to, the DSI reports they had dificulty obtaining it.

So better to not mouth off about this in favour of the corrupt developers until you know the facts, they are coming to surface by the day.

"they are coming to surface by the day" - so why aren't they being charged and prosecuted????

I think you should ask the Prime Minister this question he appears to be looking into it.

Annual revenue estimated at 35-40 bn euros and they live in a cave like Neanderthals,,

so why the bother of being a capo tutee de capo if you have to live in a cave I want to know.....

Cave was probably a bolt hole when things got tight around the town.

.....insane....

Exactly! The mantatlity of the drivers here is at question, then when we look at the big picture it is inground into Thai style driving of anything. Me first look out.

It sounds to me like these two boats may have been playing Chicken or some stupid game.

The mentality issue will never be solved until some bright spark introduces strict regulations and tests for boat drivers, but that will never happen as long as familys run the bussiness and sons and cousins drive.

Im sure as far as other driving on roads goes that Thais do not understand one little bit the Rd rules except for, ME FIRST>

I agree.......

If i had my way they would i would have every one stop buying fish from thailand for a month or more just to let them get the message the rest of the world will not tolerate slavery. So even if they clean it up remind them not to go back to it.It would rock their boat to pay for past crimes.And tell them next time no grace period as soon as it is found put they use slaves export of fish is finished.for even longer.

This is a group of people that demand the catch at a pittance so they can make a fortune, the trickle down effect only reaches those with the power to deny everything

Monsanto and Cargil are doing this on a much bigger scale.

But not to worry! soon the fools will sign the TTP and Monsanto and cargil will be in like flin to destroy whats left while the hungry mongrels that let this happen feed.

On the Friday tv show the PM said that he did not believe the drought was as severe as people are claiming, he wanted officials to show him proof of the severe water shortage. So how much proof does he need?

2 of the 3 monkeys comes to mind, see nothing, hear nothing.

Funny how this problem has esculated from 4% to 50% virtualy overnight.

Well, the courts did warn us. You can't show videos of the mentally ill.

Sociopaths , psycopaths, all have huge egos and love to be in the media but not to be criticised by such.

How can the EU be satisfied and then give the IUU fishing industry 6 months to improve its performance , seems to me the EU is hoping for a miracle but knowing the out come will be less than a miracle............................ .

It shows that the situation is improving greatly from what it was under Yingluck's sorry tenure, whereby she just let things continue as before because she was too busy attempting to get her brother's amnesty with everything else, including the rice scam fiasco, playing second fiddle to this 'ever so important' piece of business!!

I think that the Junta deserves much in the way of plaudits in this and other Human Rights efforts it is currently working on, in showing that it is putting in a lot of effort to resolve these issues to the satisfaction of the HR commissioners in all areas it was lacking in. I doubt that much if any will be forthcoming though as they (the critics) are too set in their bigoted ways to give the Junta any credit where it is, without question, warranted.

Tell that to the police officer in the south who had his investigation closed after such a short time and then was conveniently transferred to the area he was investigating and eventually had to flee Thailand for fear of getting killed by the hi-so people still involved in human trafficking.

But you keep on thinking that the Junta is doing a wonderful job.

This problem will go away as soon as they confiscate the crews fishing rods and bird traps and force them to take vitamin B and eat rice everyday

The EU is all talk and no teeth. The EU was never going to red card Thailand. Now Thailand will continue on with human traffic and slave labour on fishing boats, fish processing plants and the money will continue to flow so that officials turn a blind eye.

Human misery will continue unabated in the name of money. Bloody disgusting!

Thais have not only won the battle but due to the weakness and political correctness of the EU fat cats also won the war. This decision has effectively given corrupt Thais carte blanche to do as they please knowing nothing will ever happen to curtail their hideous practices.

Will the training manaul say that vitamin B must be carried on board at all times.

Forget the food just give the crew vitamin B.

I wonder if the man in charge will take any sefies on board a fishing boat after this anouncement???

With every passing, the penny is starting to drop about what the junta means by "Thai-style" democracy. It ain't pretty. And it ain't democracy.

I thought it was one man taking selfies and trying to get into every photo shoot he can

If the reason for blocking websites was to stop people trying to make anthrax at home or trying out some stuff in the anarchists cookbook, i could kind of understand. But, this is the junta we are talking about. They don't want anybody to know about stuff like bent judges acting like mad dogs in public, bent coppers using scapegoats, murdering politicians hiding from justice. Self serving bs. I hope google told them where to go, otherwise anonymous will shame them more and more.

Say no More!

wonder who the senior govt officials are???

Stupid place to laeve 83 miilion you would think safety deposit box somewhere would be better or bodgie account.

Might have been a tip off from someone jealous after all one of the main players was shot dead.

Nice place Hat Yai.

Is this the same EU that warned Greece that it could not get any more bail out money until reforms were in place ? Then after after NO REFORMS were made Still gave them more money ? 3 times ? Yea, Keep at it EU,and they wonder why England wants out.

It is well known the ex finance minister who just resigned from the new government says this as well, the bailout money ends up in the hands of Bankers, the very people that caused this in the first place.

Apart from that Greece was bullied into buying arms from Germany with part of the money that they did not want.

The to impose more Austerity on people is just a recipe for diaster, you cant kick the can down the Rd any further.

Greece should get out of the EU and man up to Merkel and the financial global terrorist Banksters.

European Union, get real.

America needs a stack of cheap foreign workers, that's why America is importing a load of Mexicans. Illegal or legal, they're still workers.

Thailand needs a stack of cheap foreign workers as well. That's why Thailand imports a load of people from Burma, Laos, and Cambodia. Legal or illegal, they're still workers. We all know that.

Now Europe, Europe is doing the same thing. Go and import a load of Africans and Middle-East foreigners. Oh, got to make it look like that the cheap foreign labourers are not really wanted. Look, we know they're doing the jobs that we don't want to do, for a far cheaper wage.

Latino workers - illegal or otherwise - fit in well culturally in the USA. They come to America to earn money to send home to their families.

Same in Thailand with workers from neighboring countries. I assume they come to work and send money home if possible.

Europe is a whole different story with their African and Middle Eastern migrants. They mostly come for free gov't handouts courtesy of the taxpayers.That's why they walk so far through safe countries to get to Germany, UK & Sweden.

Thailand and most countries does not need slave labour there is no jobs, there are high unemployment rates throughout the world.

The only people that need these so called jobs that lazy falangs and Thais wont do are labour exploiters and greedy corporates.

Thailand is building thousands of resorts and condos , houses that are empty, only the greedy developers want to employ slave labour.

Decent wages are a joke, wages have flat lined for the last 30 years or more while upper echlon have had exhorbitant pay increases.

Walmart is Americas leading slave market propped up by the govt compensation.

Look at the state of turmoil in LOS with shootings and breakins increasing by the day, not only LOS but world wide turmoil, the crime rate in NZ is shocking.

Italy France Greece Spain ect in turmoil with high unemployment, so where my friend do you get the information that the world needs slave labour, in fact at present there are more slaves in employment that ever recorded in history.

Migrants were used to smash down wages and bust up trade unions the minimum wage is about 13 dollars an Hour in Nz, the USA is lower.

What is needed is jobs with fair rewards, wall st needs reform.

Not just them the whole world is at it and on the take. the corruption in Africa and South America and USA and most countries makes LOs Look like amateurs.

Wall St can steal and be bailed out for trillions, so little old LOS are only babies.

This is one girl you would not want as a wife and mother of your children. She would probably throw her less than a month-old baby out the window because of the messy state and endless crying...

Except it's a he, it was a ladyboy who threw the dog out of the window.

Throwing live things out of window is a popular sport in LOS.

It's very easy to take sides for the Moken, and also how the news is worded. However, the fact still resides with the Law, has nothing to do with greed. People who oppose greed are usually those who are not doing well financially. Greed is never wrong, unless with ill intentions. People complain about rich people being greedy, could you prove to the world that a poor man if given an opportunity for high income, he would reject the offer?

The Moken has been living in these areas for a long time because they could, but they never owned the land. The developer has full rights to the land and how they purchased it is their business. From this viewpoint, the police, military, government will all uphold the rights of the developer and not the Moken. The exercise of physical assault is another matter, both sides should be responsible for their actions, neither side is "good". The way I see it, the developer continue their business AND the Moken gypsies WARNED and EDUCATED that they have to follow the law and can't take hold of any land they deem fit at their will.

working for a high income and greed are two totally different things. As for HOW the developers obtained (purchased) the land is very relevant on an island rife with criminal land claims etc. If the Moken did indeed " take hold" of the land previous to 1952 then in the same way land was assessed prior to laws governing land purchases. They own the land!

If there is no recorded ownership then the state would own the land, however indigenous people would lay claim to it, I am not sure how that works in LOS.

The state must have sold the land to the developers or whoever did this recieved payment.

In New Zealand the Maori land claims and compensation fights have been ongoing since the signing of the Waitangi Treaty back in 18 something, the indigenous people own the land and as in most countries world wide they have been slaughtered and smashed and conned into handing over their land, a few blankets and a rifle was all it took to secure thousands of acres.

If these people have leagal rights they should be recognised, not slagged by thoughtless drones.

If indeed this is the case then they should in the least be compensated by the amount that the developers paid for the land, then that could be tricky to count as some of the total may not be included in the figures.

The EU also criticised non-member Turkey's lack of action but what do they expect ?

Turkey is in the driving seat and they know it so will wring as many concessions as possible, cash, fast tracked membership etc on the promise of doing more but even as a member will Muslim Turkey, forget their constitution, actually take serious measures to prevent fellow Muslims travelling across Europe ?

Greece and Europe, and many other countries including little ol NZ are being swamped with refugees and migrants.

For the cost of a few ballistic missiles and a few drones we could build refuge camps in safe areas of Syria and guard them.

But the proponents and suppliers of money and arms to ISIS would never have this.

It is much better for the EU to impose Austerity on Greece and swamp them with refugees adding more strain and mysery to a country that is struggling with it's own unemployment and financial woes brought about by Banking terrorists and EU bullying.

The big boys could clean this mess up in a week or two but they continue to bomb the middle east into a pile of rubble while the tax payers foot the bill.

Syria can not ever afford the rebuild which is already on computer planning with estimates of trillions of dollars.

So who is going to lend the cash to these countries and have them forever in their debt, the world bank, IMF and other Banksters will own all their oil gas and minerals for ever until something big goes bang.

well dogs can be very annoying

Make sure if you live in a high rise apartment in Thailand that your room is tidy and no pets before inviting guests.

They could try feeding it to the pidgeons, but maybe they are to smart to fall for that.

I have seen many a pile of rice in this country outside drying while pidgeons walk all over it crapping in it, I would have thought no one in the world would ever buy rice after seeing this.

Then look at the roofs of the rice storage barns with thousands of pidgeons on them , they do nothing about it as these are reincarnated soi dogs.

Plastic rice maybe better for you.
