Russia is not an enemy.  We may not like them, but we are not at war with them. While I may not like how the summit went. I would like to know what act of treason your referring to. Were state secrets passed along? I don't think so

You’re right. Russia is not an enemy. An adversary perhaps. The truth is we’ll never know what was passed at their meeting as I understand there were no witnesses. 

She’s only a spy if Putin says she is.

Thankyou. I won’t bother then.

Positive signal. Did the EU agree to grant asylum to all Burmese slaves on Thai fishing vessels and processing factories?

Slaves??? .... What slaves?

How easy would it be to stop this inhumane practice but little seems to happen. They could save a lot of money from the proposed buy back scheme by confiscating the boats that operate with slave labour. Kill two birds with one stone. 

Fault on both sides here. If Unsworth had not personalised his attack in the first instance and then perhaps Musk may not have responded as he did. 

Musk was responding to an unsubstantiated attack on his character by Unsworth. 

Mer may believe it was a PR stunt but are we sure? Accordingly we must be careful of such accusations. A more appropriate response to Musk’s offer may have been “Thanks but we’re not sure it will work” instead of the one offered. 

Not saying this justified being called a pedo but may have been the catalyst for it. Think before you speak is the lesson here. Anyhow I see at least someone coming out on top here. The lawyers.

That was a good gesture from a non-Thai organisation. Well done.

OK, it's only' a T-shirt, but it's the thought that counts, and there again government officials are not allowed to accept high value gifts anyway.

 

I wonder if they could help with getting his old job back. He couldn’t be corrupted so they demoted him to the governor of Phayao. 

Five is likely the tip of a very large iceberg. So many victims and so little empathy from the Catholic Church. 

Can’t wait for his tweets. 

For a moment, I thought they were referring to a movie about a running midget with an interest in Scientology. 

Let’s see what Mother Nature has to say about its permanency. 

Hopefully plenty of Teflon mixed in so the turds slide off on the outgoing tides. What a racket. 

And if he was flogging off watches he could have impersonated the DPM. Maybe next time.

A 500 baht fine will do it. 

It’s like one of those catch and release fishing competitions with a 500 baht chaser.

Not sure you need to live in the shadows as such. I'm a younger guy and only got my passport checked once in 5 years of living there. Given Thai's respect for elders I'm guessing you could go forever without a random check.

6 1/2 years without one. 

She was hoping for a 500 baht fine and a week at the monastery. Then she realised she wasn’t in Thailand. Ouch. 

Lets ‘s hope it’s a full ten and a half years. 

Thailand used to be beautiful but that was a long time ago. 

Good news and good outcome and congratulations to all involved. 

Won’t be too many lottery tickets available that end in 13. Better get in quick if it’s not already too late. 

Just as an aside about a thousand people died on the roads while this was all unfolding. Perhaps now the media could refocus their attentions onto this issue.

The tour boat catastrophe in Phuket was unlikely to harm the Thai tourism industry, but the government must respond to it decisively, the chief economist at Siam Commercial Bank said on Monday.

Thank goodne$$

Terrible. An outcome no one wanted to see but an all too common occurrence during risky rescue operations. 

I truly feel for everybody especially the family of this precious soul. RIP and hope nothing else goes wrong to add to this tragedy.
