And no one ever mentions the 100 MB donation anymore. Must be some Bigwigs involved.
It's not 30 days to explain why the charges were dropped. It's 30 days to come up with new stories that exonerate the investigations, lack of efforts to have him extradited and support the prosecutors apparent view that a prosecution would likely be unsuccessful.
The challenge is to find a story that does this, quietens the minions, fools the international media and restores what they believe is the pristine image of Thailand and its justice system.
Expect something similar to how the Koh Tao murder complaints were eventually brushed aside.

Depends where you are going and what you are going to do; and how aware you are.
Going to the mall, nice restaurant etc, probably safe. Going to Walking street, Soi Cowboy, Patpong, back streets, etc maybe taking extra caution would be good. Walking down a canal towpath at night or through a shanty town type area - maybe not a good idea even without gold!
Common sense. You'd probably be worse off in a major European city where muggings, moped snatches, and violent robbery seem much more prevalent.

The RTP is busted. They were outed for being the franchise that they are. They were ordered to stand down. And they did. And they went out of their way to make up a story. And the story was pathetic, backed up by unreliable and unbelievable witnesses.
Now, the public is outraged, and rightly so. Corruption is ugly. When it is blatant, performed by utter incompetents, and right in your face, it is far uglier. Prayuth has alot to answer for. He is in a pickle. He is there to protect the elite, the police, the powerful and those in office. What to do?
He will do what he typically does. Install a committee. After some time, they will find a few officers they are willing to use as scapegoats. They will be transferred. As usual no firings, no prosecutions, and no jail time for anyone. The shameless and toxic Thai army, at work, and the RTP. A franchise for hire.
Agree but doubt they'll even bother with scapegoats. They committees will drag on, 30 days, few extensions then when they think it's sufficiently died down, they'll announce the new witnesses, one who's now dead but gave a signed testament before his untimely accident, and the other, a very senior airforce officer beyond reproach, meant that Boss was not speeding and did nothing wrong. The cocaine and alcohol have been explained and the fact he didn't stop, dragged of dying officer down the road, buggered off quickly and tried to get a family driver framed, and then missed 8 warrants before fleeing the country and hiding, will all be forgotten conveniently.
Face means they will never back down. Justice isn't the slightest bit important. Just like with the Koh Tao murders, now all about managing the PR, and silencing dissent before stamping it closed how they want it closed. They certainly don't want the public and electorate thinking they have any say in anything.

Of course the Professor is correct. But he's missing the point. The whole thing was supposed to have gone away once the prosecutors dropped the case and the famous Thong Lor police office cancelled all warrants. The massive public outcry and international interest just wasn't expected. Now they have various "committees" studying all the details of this case, its investigation and the legal decisions. But, not to look at the numerous unusual aspects, but to find a way out of the mess that keeps Boss and his family happy, silences the outcry and makes Thailand's image look ok, well sort of, to the outside world and foreign media. No wonder they want 30 days, with the option to extend the deadline, poor darlings!

If everything would be so simple. The reality is, that many things they are included in the US military budget in Germany are included in other budgets. Also the USA are forcing wars in Syria, Iraq and so on but Europe has to pay Billions for the refugees or to Turkey that the country doesn´t let the refugees pass.
Germany doesn't and hasn't met it's committed amount of spend as per NATO agreement. End of.

1 hour ago, Tarteso said:Nonsense and ignorance. I am talking about 3000 or 4000 BC. Try to learn something new today;
The first great European civilization flourished on the Greek island of Crete in 1700 BC, (The african stones dates back 3500 4000 BC). And it was initially Africans previously settled in the Nile Delta who civilized the Greeks. Later, Greece would take this culture to Rome, with whose decline the Dark Age would begin, which would last 5 centuries. Civilization returned to Europe at the hand, once again, of another group of African blacks, the Moors.
Gene tests on a sample of “indigenous” Englishmen have thrown up a surprise black ancestry, providing new insight into a centuries-old African presence in Britain.
The research, funded by the Wellcome Trust, identified a rare West African Y chromosome in a group of men from Yorkshire who share a surname that dates back at least as far as the mid-14th century and have a typical European appearance. They owe their unusual Y chromosome to an African man living in England at least 250 years ago and perhaps as early as Roman times, the researchers say.
Mark Jobling at the University of Leicester, UK, and colleagues recruited 421 men who described themselves as British and analysed their genes as part of a survey of British Y chromosome diversity. To the researchers’ surprise, they found that one individual in the study carried a very rare Y chromosome, called hgA1.
This particular variant has previously been identified in only 26 people worldwide, three African Americans and 23 men living in West African countries such as Guinea-Bissau and Senegal. “It’s so distinctive, it really sticks out like a sore thumb,” Jobling says of the chromosome’s unique sequence. He adds that it is virtually impossible for this sequence to have coincidentally evolved in Britain.
Black soldiers and slaves would have been part of the Roman invasion and settlement of Britain. And again Africans would have been in Britain during the "slave years" as would captured Europeans being in the Ottoman Empire and other areas.
I think we underestimate the mobility, chosen or forced, of our distant ancestors.

Did anyone really expected anything else from a despot regim? he has no qualm in showing a million dollar watch while many of his people are dying of poverty and disease...
Indeed. And he has no qualms arresting any who dare criticize, publish derogatory stories or challenge his and his clans grip on the country.
A former Khmer Rouge henchman, used by the West and now courting all sides whilst making the chosen few filthy rich through the imposed kleptocracy.
Bet his old eternal buddy is green with envy!

But that's very much a trait of the left. Ask a question and answer it; denying the person being questioned the right to actually answer. Because they don't tolerate opinions or answers they don't like. And certainly don't want to hear the truth.

Well it certainly is time to rethink the whole idea of mass tourism. Especially from an environmental point of view. It is not a human right to be able to fly to every corner of the world. There is so much to be seen and done in one's own country that there is no need to fly half way around the earth. And with climate change in full swing there will be enough sun back home too.
Yeah, let the government or some manipulated child with mental health issues dictate to everybody what they can and can't do!
You'll fit in great with BLM, Antifa, and all their mates. HR rights are not for any group to deny.

The Germans not going to Spain i can understand. Germany is doing a lot better then Spain. However the UK is like the worst hit in Europe. If anything Spain would be importing Covid cases its not as if it could get much worse in the UK.
Anyway my country is ruled by idiots too. Still refusing masks. They should learn something from Asia.
I don't think any of the governments, or civil servants, in the EU have performed especially well on this. All seem to have invented their own way of calculating the number of cases and deaths - some very creative numbers politically motivated no doubt.
Only the front line and support workers serving their communities have performed brilliantly.

The rights the UK will have to grant if it wants the right of tariff-free access to the single market in return.
It will be an interesting test of EU solidarity, if the other 26 member states, want a deal and France holds out so its Fishermen can clean out British waters as they've done to their own.
Self interest in the EU has been bubbling for some time. France and Spain are the two that want to fish British waters.

America will be a far more desolate country without Trump than with him.
Law and order dismantled and the brainless hooligans (sorry, marchers & protesters) given the legal right to loot and burn.
Time to begin drug testing before welfare checks are handed out and curfews in the lawless states.
Only the Don has the gonads to achieve this.
It certainly seems the Democrats want to fuel all the law and disorder, and excuse the criminal thieving and assaults, in order to score political points. The more radical ranks within the democrats would like to see a situation of chaos and mob rule in the public court of intimidation. From that chaotic collapse they can impose the society they want.
And what an America that would be! Putin and Xi must be licking their lips!

36 minutes ago, kamahele said:The protests in multiple cities had begun to settle down until Trump deployed federal agents to the cities spreading gasoline on the fire. If you believe in the latest polls, Trump is actually driving people to vote for Biden.
Settle down - you mean into no go zones where ordinary citizens were extorted and assaulted whilst watching thieving, arson, looting, vandalism as Democrat mayors and governors ordered the police not to interfere?
Biden is an old crook who has miked politics for decades and delivered little. His confused state suggests he won't be more than a front dummy, if that.

They will. And the only negative comments will be around "the authoritarian aggressive behavior of the Federal Agents Trump sent in against the wishes of the local mayors and governors".
The BBC seem to think arson, vandalism, assault, defying law instructions and laws, thieving, looting, intimidation are all acceptable as long as its a left wing cause they approve of.

And why should that be a problem?
Germany buys russian oil and gas since ages. Even in the hotest times of the cold war the Russians (the communist soviet-regime then) NEVER used gas/oil as a political weapon.
Northstream 2 was invented after the Ukraine refused to pay and stole gas from the pipelines passing the country. Europs gas supply was not endangered by Russia but by the Ukraine. Good idea to bypass such a country.
The US don't like Nortstream. Why? Because they want to sell their own liquid gas to Europe.
Hypocrisy - not a problem, because you say not! Really?
If Germany is so anxious to take Russia to task why doesn't it stop purchasing from them? Because it can't, it's so dependent. But it can act all brave and tough on this G7, knowing Putin ain't bothered.
Might the real reason be because Trump suggested it? And of course, he's pulling US forces out of Germany and insisting they pay their way on defense.
It's a bit like the strong German green movement turning a blind eye to the lies and cheating on emissions by German manufacturers; or the seemingly inept German financial authority and banks.

Apparently 2 new witnesses were located who both said that the policeman swerved infront of the ferrari. Amazing after all this time 2 new witnesses suddenly appear.
Indeed. Those 2 new witnesses also confirmed that they, and the Ferrari were observing the speed limit!
Were have these witnesses been since 2012 and why didn't they come forward before?
The prosecutors can say, that based on the new evidence, boss wasn't speeding, and the deceased swerved in front of him, giving him no chance to avoid the deceased. So based on that, there is little chance of a conviction. The other charges have expired. So, as they say in the movies, he's free to go.

They didn't have to set him up. His greed and lust for power, couple with his egotistical narcissism, and belief he was above all laws and untouchable played right into their hands. He soon found out that he wasn't.

PM Prayut orders body of key witness in “Boss” to be kept for further examination
in Thailand News
Posted
Yep. Lives in Chiang Mai, but in Bangkok and riding in a pick up truck in the early morning hours down Sukhumvit, with his pal a senior air force officer, AVM. After 8 years of keeping stum they suddenly feel the need to go and make witness statements to the police. After 8 years, they clearly remember the speed they and Boss were driving, and are definite about it, even though the vehicle damage examination clearly shows very different speeds to that they remember.
Mrs BB also tells me that on this morning's TV news it said his cell phone was originally missing but has now been found. But the sim card has been removed and disappeared.
Nothing strange here. All sorted. Police have the statements of two witnesses that exonerate Boss. The "dentist" explains the cocaine along with the new story that doctors at the hospitals that did the alcohol / drug tests, said "antibodies present at the time" may have affected the results and given untrue positive readings.
The probably can't understand why anyone is questioning their versions.
