Just had a read of the PERC report on corruption in Asia. Does not mention Thailand specifically as fighting corruption or implementing anti corruption measures. Whole report is based on a survey of businessmen/women on their "perceptions" of how corrupt a country is. 16 countries surveyed and 100 businessmen/women surveyed in each country.

Yingluck government meets the people A.K.A. Yingluck avoids the budget debate tour. Mind you, she probably had the right idea. It wasn't the most illuminating or purposeful event.

What is the point of a new law if you never enforced the old one? Stupid headline grabbing nonsense.

How about The War on Drugs and The Tak Bae massacre , they could also be investigated, but suppose that might implicate The DL.

What was wrong with the war on drugs?Thaksin did the right thing,Yeah sorry a few innocent people died,but most who died probably deserved to die,I'm happy for any drug baron or drug dealer who died at that time,unfortunately thaksin had to stop,if not thailand might be drug free by now,tak bae is and was an army thing,the army handles the south the way they want to handle it,they don't listen to any government in bkk,

Are you being serious?

Any news on yingluck's canal tour, is she keeping in touch with debate via twitter?

Idiot. Cannot have one off I.C.C. recognition to hear a case. In addition picking a case where you could be found to have more sinned than been sinned against is not the best move.

Of course they are smearing him. He's the leader of the opposition. Same thing happens all over the world.

Are the yellow shirts now causing problems in the U.S? What next a blockade of the Los Angeles Airport? I bet that if 2,000 Americans conducted themselves the same way in Thailand they would quickly be rounded up, thrown into jail and deported.

Yes, freedom of assembly is a terrible thing. Imagine what would happen here if a rowdy crowd gathered in one place for a rally or to offer moral support!

Maybe the kid shouldn't have said what he did but two years……Shias and Sunnis fighting political battles through religion. Powder keg, just what the world needs right now.

In Thailand u get a higher prison sentence for far less than what he did

Yep, you're right. Frequently you find governments frowning upon freedom of expression, thinking for yourself and citizens challenging that which the powers that be hold dear.

Ah well, just one less right wing gun toting religious nut job to listen to.

"As well, he said the security checkpoint at immigration was “unreasonably reckless”.

Whenever officials manning it were late, passengers would be passed through anyway without being scanned."

Well that's just great.

What is "cabin factor"?

Wednesday wouldn't be the day of the budget debate by any chance would it?

Funny enough yes it is. Debate scheduled for Wednesday through Friday, as are canal visits. Good spot!

And so it begins……

Get chalerm on the job. 90 days and Rio is sorted.

If only more crims were this stupid.

If only the police would go after some real criminals instead of waisting time and tax money with cases like that.

Yep I agree but if someone is so stupid as to call 911 during a drug deal, what choice do the police have? Ignore it? Say oh this small stuff? They had no choice but to investigate and probably best for all this dumb a*s is nicked.

If only more crims were this stupid.

Mind you does explain chalerm's headline grabbing outburst yesterday. Nice smokescreen attempt to hide this news. It failed, like so much clownboy tries his hand at, but nice try.

Uh oh…

Mad dog is back. As usual when he fails at something he blames others. It's never his fault.

This is what happens when you have a system of politicised law enforcement. Great when you are the piper and call the tunes, but not so much when there is a change.

A vegetarian last meal...that's hilarious. If asked why vegetarian, he probably would have declared that it was morally wrong to kill animals for food.

Or perhaps after spending so much time behind bars without abusing drugs he came to see that his past actions were wrong and changed the way he lived his life. 25 years is a long time to reflect.

Very, very funny. Love it.
