I just wish posters would read other posts first and realize this not related to an airport entry.

My post generally referred to the possibility (intentionally or unknowingly) of walking past an unmanned immigration box at Phuket Airport without getting an entry stamp. This is simply because the passageways at the immigration boxes do not have physical barriers, as is the case at Suvanabumi Airport, for example.

Prioritize peace and security for all people living in the country.....

and bags full of taxpayers money for me and my friends.

I also flew into Phuket Airport myself. There are many passport control boxes and many were not manned when I arrived. It is possible to simply walk past an unmanned immigration box and go straight to the baggage carousel.

Apparently no state budget is safe. Unbelievable how easy it is for criminals to siphon 90 million baht in to private pockets from a state budget, and no one asks questions. Thailand has a real problem controlling the use of taxpayers' money. Like a self-service store. Just reach into the state coffers. The cases that are coming to light are most likely just the tip of the iceberg. Those responsible in the state are not

trustworthy to take proper care of taxpayers' money.

This add comes up and up again and opens up also a second window. This is not an add, It's more like a virus.

OK.

We rid ourselves of Prayut. 

Then what......??

 

????

Letting the middle generation into power. Those who have families with children and also have to take care of the elderly. Would be much better for all Thais.

....had managed to land the construction firm 100-plus projects of the Ministry of Transport combinedly worth some 1.5 billion baht....

Deepest swamp of corruption. It is obvious how some ministers enrich themselves through out triangular

participation-holdings in state tenders. 

This is simply stealing taxpayers money and unfortunately there is no institution in Thailand that effectively prevents this and put these thieves in jail where they actually belong.

... a warrant issued for a sitting Thai senator which was mysteriously revoked within hours of being issued by the Criminal Court in October 2022....

The police investigates, secures evidence and facts. Submit this evidence to a prosecutor. The prosecutor examines and files charges in a court. The judge reviews and issues an arrest warrant. This is the normal process.

And now a few hours later, the judge withdraws the arrest warrant again without any justification?

Disgusting how the law is being bent here in favor of the super rich with shady deals.

In the past, Thailand was once in the ranks of economic development, catching up with the four tigers: Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan.

Prayut has been at the helm since 2014 and has failed to create a positive momentum for the country and its people. On the contrary.

Standstill and regression in all areas:

- Modernization of the school and education system? No

- Excellence in research? No

- Better health care for all Thais? No

- Set up a pension system.for all working Thais? No

- Land reform? No

- Modernization of the authorities? No

- Police reform? No

- Reducing the national debt? No

- Strengthening democracy? No

- Integration of foreigners married to Thais? No

- Investments in future technologies? No

- Water and sewage security? No

- Road safety? No

- Waste management? No

- Flood prevention? No

- Reduction of corruption? No

- Economic growth? No

- Better distribution of income? No

- Transparency in government spending? No

- Reducing air and sea pollution? No

- and much more.

Thailand urgently needs fresh blood with future visions in the leadership. Thailand do not need anymore the old politicians from the past, who only think of their personal enrichment and block any progress just to secure their own position of power

It's not just what people eat, it's also how they eat. Many (overweight) people eat too quickly and don't chew food long enough. The body needs time to create a feeling of satiety.

That's rubbish. What an indictment if an election program only focuses on a single topic. Thailand has so many other unsolved problems that are by far more important socio-politically.

.... after members of the public alerted them to the robbery in progress.

There were probably witnesses who saw the armed robbery and then called the police.

Gang Robbery (Sections 340-340/3) Thai criminal code.

Whoever with three persons upwards participate in committing robbery, such persons are said to commit gang-robbery, and shall be punished with imprisonment of ten to fifteen years and fined of twenty thousand to thirty thousand Baht.

If in the commission of the gang-robbery, even one of the offenders carries arms, the offender shall be punished with imprisonment of twelve to twenty years and fined of twenty thousand to forty thousand Baht.

No wonder with such a possible sentence that the robbergang lie as much as they could.

8,5 Kilos H = With confession life long thai prison or death penalty without confession. Probably the last important decision they have to make in their life.

How can there be neutrality at all, when the unelected senators are simply installed as senators by Prayut and friends. Ridiculous.

State tenders, proof of the use of money and budget control should actually be public. Thailand lacks independent control institutions. That 30 billion baht can be sucked off so easily, actually unimaginable but TiT.

.....some 30 billion baht had allegedly been taken from the project.

30 Billion!!!

Unbelievable what sums inexplicably disappear without anyone asking. Corrupt officials, abuse and embezzlement of taxpayers' money everywhere you look. The people of Thailand are being taken as fools.
