Dumb questions. How can such a senior officer not have security clearance? How can an immigration police delay departing flights selectively ?

Something strange here.

yes something in the story missing or wrong.

Maybe without boarding pass he could not enter the waiting area,

or they would not let him in the VIP lounge.

Guess that pissed him off

because he has no security clearance for it? Unlikely. Possible he want in the VIP lounge and full service there and they refused to serve him black label without being customer. But that would be a complete different story.

I am sure that he, as a non-passenger, can not accompany his wife to the seat on the plane.

Without any special reason it is already final at the boarding counter (where they scan the boarding passes, before the passengers waiting room) for him as a non-passenger.

That are the rules.

Maybe that did not fit with his inflated ego.

It is quite surprising as sales and rent contracts longer then 3 Years must be writen in Thai for the public land office.
They write then on the Channot or Nor Sor Sam Paper you name as the renter and the contract number.
As a consequence, even the public land Office, then legalize an illegal purchase.

How i understand this:
To lease for 30 years maximum time is legal.
A lease with 30 Years + 30 Years + 30 years in one contract is illegal and voit at all.

How would it be if:
i lease legal 30 years from 2015 to 2045
and my daughter lease after from 2045 to 2075
both contracts signed in 2015 for the same pice of land.

Would this be possible aka legal?

..... The report also claimed that high ranking police and Army officers were involved in giving permission for the Tao Poon casino to continue to operate in the beginning of February.....

When its all said and done, I wonder which will be the higher - the constantly revised losses of the rice scheme or this guys jail sentence?

The losses of the rice scheme: 700.000.000.000 Baht

The CIB heist: 4.000.000.000 Baht (estimate)

Well, of course, they can make all the new laws they like, but will the police actually enforce them?

The previous excesses of political rallies could have been nipped in the bud had the police moved in and stopped them. In fact, during the previous rallies the RTP were MIA.

I seem to recall a officer getting his legs blown to pieces when the PDRC scum threw a grenade at police lines. Every man and his dog knew heavily armed military were embedded amongst the PDRC looking to spill a bit of blood to provide justification for a coup. Yingluck handled the situation exceptionally well as we can see by the fact that even though the military kangaroo court is in full swing there has been not a single charge laid against the last democratically elected government of Thailand for its treatment of criminal protestors. Lets of course also not forget that the courts ruled the police could not take action against the protestors as the protestors had a right to hold the nation to ransom to their own fascistic desires. Thailand woes are all consequences of the military overstepping its role since 1932.

This is like one image from a running movie.

Do you remember the massacre of Trat?

Where the police officer enters the stage and said: He has good news?

As per a Cabinet resolution last September, seized ivory items would either be burned, returned to the country of origin or stored for further study.

OMG, burned?! Why?!

Have they not heard of supply and demand. Burning up supply only puts pressure on the demand side.

The lovely elephants (assuming), have already made their sacrifice. They should sell those items into a proper market at a high price and use the proceeds for their efforts to stop the illegal ivory trade. Let the sacrifice amount to something good.

I support your thought to 100%

I think this is a form of practical demonstration law.

For 6 years he does it.
I would say he falls under the category: Quality tourist.
Respect.
He brings with his cleaning actions some people to think.

Maybe he comes on the southern islands.
Next weekend is here big beach cleaning.

Bt5 million worth of illegal goods seized by Customs

What?
Only 5.000.000 Baht in 4 month?
Not more?

Is this the same Houdini department which have misplaced 500 Super Cars last year, and could not find them until today?

The ears of the buffaloes are now marked with 5.800.000.000 Baht.
It is right a whopping sum for buffaloes ears.
Hope they don't mean bargirl slang like buffaloes as foreigners.
To pay now for a sick buffalo is then given a new dimension.

The sociology examines societal discrimination and differentiated here include between structural, institutional and linguistic discrimination. Thus, in contrast to the social-psychological research on prejudice it comes to social conditions and causes that are not reducible to individual settings. In the law, the term is more narrowly defined and refers only to the differentiation because of certain enumerative listed reasons. Sociology and law so use the term in a normative way.

Unequal treatment, inequality, unequal rights, discriminator

Social inequalities and social discrimination based on factors that influence are the stakeholders (right of access to education, income level, social behavior), tend to be more accepted or tolerated as not individually modifiable factors and triggers of discrimination (race, gender, disability, age . or sexual preferences), there is a high level of acceptance for favors that the position of other not deteriorate (Example: Adults without children are not disadvantaged by that children receive discounted or free admission to a facility).

As to reflect the different pricing for Students, if UK students fees are capped at £9k a year whilst foreign students will be charged £12k on average.

Then it is a dual price system.

Furthermore it is then a discrimination if the students get an identical product.

I doubt that.

Maybe the foreign students get special language courses, or the visa is included, etc.

The universities in the UK will not be give themselfs such an open-Flange with regard to a possible discrimination.

While the product: Entrance in a national park, is an absolutely identical product.

For example, if in the tourist price an English-speaking guide would be contained, then we would not have this discrimination discussion.

Anyway i do not want to go off topic from:

Thai-national-parks-ordered-to-charge-foreigners-tenfold

I can assure you with absolute 100% certainty that International students do not get any 'extras' included in their courses. Indeed as far as language is concerned it will be a condition of their offer for a place that they will have a reasonable standard of English. The cost of their visa or any other travel or subsistence is not included in their fees. Indeed to obtain their visa they will have to also provide proof of funds to support themselves throughout their studies. The product that International students receive for their 30% average higher price is exactly identical to the product that a UK student receives. It is exactly as you say, a dual price system based on nationality with UK\EU students, being charged on average 30% less than International students.

So how can it be wrong and discriminatory as some are claiming for Thailand to practice dual pricing , but apparently perfectly OK and above board in the UK, and possibly other EU countries, for Universities to rip off hundreds of thousands of foreign students with the Governments approval?

Unless of course you are just being hypocritical and using the 2 tier system in Thailand as an excuse to involve in some Thai bashing..

Interesting how this issue: Dual price system

is controversial and diverges.

Another negative aspect of dual price systems is the possibility of abuse.

For example:

Two white Caucasian first time tourist come to a NP.

Thais working in the tourist industry are quite good in spotting newbies.

The two tourists pay 800 Baht and get entrance.

For the staff is there the opportunity to put 720 baht into their own pockets and the

two visitors were officially booked for 80 Baht as Thais.

Maybe that could be also a reason why the official numbers of tourists are so low in the parks?

i think this has been covered before.

i know of one case at Khaeng Krachan where they USED to have a sign at the main office telling foreigners that they would get the "Thai" price on production of D/L or similar proof of living in Thailand. at the same time the guy on the entrance further up was insisting that foreigners pay the full amount. He clearly had the opportunity here to pocket the difference.

BTW - you didn't have to say "white" - all Asian people may look the same to you, but Thai people can tell the difference.

HaHa

No worry, 100% all asian people look not the same for me.
