they could be charged under the Computer Crime Act, which stipulates that any person who damages, destroys, corrects, changes or amends another party’s computer data, either in whole or in part, shall be subject to imprisonment of up to five years and/or a fine of up to one hundred thousand baht.

And this is the arena where these oxygen thieves and wasted skins will fight for their survival.

Minority institutions must be protected. Democracy is non-existant when 250 junta planted senators determine the future direction of Thailand and not the person voted in by a huge majority of the Thai population. The people of Thailand spoke and spoke definitively. These junta henchmen should be locked up and stripped of all assets. Just discraceful. What a joke. 

I concur. 

250 senators is a ridiculous number. How many senators does it take to review legislation? It is definitely a number designed to keep control of the parliament. 
One elected from each Province would make good sense moving forward. (MF)

others believed it was time for Prawit to step back and allow a new generation of politicians to take the lead.

I vote for this one. It’s TIME to go. 

Another possibility is the foundations. If landfill was brought in to build the ground up which is often the case then there is the possibility the wall could have moved and collapsed due to subsidence movement. If landfill is not properly set and compacted there is plenty of potential for this to happen. 
In a house I rented in Chiang Mai the ground around the house opened up in a number of places directly below the roof drip line during the rainy season. It had been backfilled on what was previously a rice field, probably with a whole lot of crap material and then not properly compacted. 
Just a heads up for anyone planning to build. 

Ouch! He won’t do that again. In the end you get what you ask for. Terrible decision to attempt that manoeuvre.

Australia and Austria?  Are'nt they the same place??? ????Who's confused??? 

I remember a scene from the movie Dumb and Dumber where there was similar confusion 

And the Thai military is constantly meddling with free elections and continually manipulating the outcomes. Go figure.

Last week I was checking prices, one way to Brisbane, Thai 40k-60k, that was for economy tickets. Do people pay those sort of prices?

I don’t know why but in my experience I have found the price of a ticket from Australia to Thailand return has always been cheaper than the reverse of Thailand to Australia. Most recent price I looked at for THAI was about $1200+AUD. This was for flights out of Melbourne in September returning in November. 
Earlier this year on another carrier the one way fare BKK to Melbourne was more expensive than the return flight departing from Melbourne. Why is it so? Anyone able to explain?

Arrested on what [legitimate] charge?

The charge will be for being a threat to military dictatorship although the wording may be a little different

I’ve instructed my kids to hit me in the head with a sledgehammer if I should ever wear sandals and socks. 

A festering, pus ridden sore that needs to be addressed but never will. 

It’ll only happen if the military allows it to happen. 

The army’s new secret weapon. Buy every opposition candidate a few shares unbeknown to them and Hey Presto not a chance in hell of ever being deposed. Shameful, especially when they are the rulers of all forms of media.
