.... politicians who used to be impeached or were found guilty of election fraud by the court,
Why only ban them for 5 years?
A lifetime ban would be much better.
Why Thailand is struggling in gerneral to ban scammers, fraudsters and criminals from all public offices and institutions?-

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, discriminatorSocial 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..
When asked about the Scottish Government's plans, the European Commissioner for Education, Androulla Vassiliou, commented that any attempt to treat Scottish students and non-Scottish students differently could be regarded as:a covert form of discrimination on grounds of nationality [...] conditions of access to education, including tuition fees, fall within the scope of EU law and any discrimination on grounds of nationality is prohibited".[66]I support this opinion.See 3.8 Fees….There is an exception in the Equality Act for discrimination authorised by other statutes and linked to place of residence. This allows England, Scotland and Wales each to charge different admission fees to students dependent on whether they are resident in that country.There actually exists a discrimination which is legally protected by a derogation.And I'm sure that the foreign students just feel discriminated against, same as the tourists which have to pay 10 times more for entry.Last note:
Please stop to downgrade other opinions, or bend them,
like: ........but apparently perfectly OK and above board in the UK
I am in general against dual price systems,
No matter where it exists or occur.and I am still of the opinion that:
Thai National Parks ordered to charge foreigners tenfold
is a discrimination and can not be legitimized. by an existing, discriminatory exemption in the UK university fee system.
Last thought:
You wrote:
...... to rip off hundreds of thousands of foreign students with the Governments approval?
i say:
......to rip off hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists with the Governments approval.
Same Same
A discrimination!

Cartam enim sceleratos?Pardon for criminals?That has nothing to do with justice.This is a perversion of good and evil.The evil will be rewarded?What is the difference between a robber who robs a bank and a robber who robs public funds?There must be no differences in the justice!If the robber admits and returns completely his booty, then they should get a milder punishment.The honest people do not have any interest in a reconciliation from evil people!If they want a real reconciliation, then they must put out all the bad (criminal) apples.

Of natural resources, Thailand has actually for all target groups everything.But it falls short in the planning, management and implementation.Usually only quickly cooked ideas and little thought outs.I suspect that there are no coordinated short- medium- and long-term development plannings.Table:1 Year 2-4 Years longer 4 YearsTarget Groups Actions / goals Actions / goals Actions / goalsshort term medium term long-termBackpackers ? ? ?Sex tourists ? ? ?Families with children ? ? ?China bus tourists ? ? ?Medicine tourists ? ? ?Pensioners/Longstayers ? ? ?Honeymooners ? ? ?Thai Tourists ? ? ?and more GroupsWhat are the structures of each target group?Desires, needs, budget, length of stay, revisitation rate, share of total tourism revenue, etc.?Also unclear!
Et quo vadis Thailand? -
Maybe they should tow the aircraft carrier in open neutral waters beyond,Setting up a bit plush and open a gambling casino.

Interesting how this issue: Dual price systemis 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 thetwo 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.
The possibility of abuse is given here.And the temptation is quite large for a single employee (who earns officialy a salary between 300-400 baht a day).10 tourists booked as thais/residents brings 3.600 Baht a day.

I read recently that on a global scale 95% of deaths by terrorist attacks claim the lives of Muslims....... alt=blink.png>
And when people point out that in the "vast majority of cases Muslims are peace loving respectful people", then I ask why the (deleted by me) do they not do something about the ones that are not peace loving and respectful....?
Why does it take the rest of planet earth to rush around saving lives and peacekeeping all over the place ?
Now that the UK and USA are not joining in the fight the locals are having to do it themselves. i.e. Egypt in Libya and Jordon in Syria. And about time to.
If these insurgents in the South want to live in a Muslim state. Why do they not just head more South? they then have the choice of Malaysia and Indonesia...easy.
Maybe because they were living in a Muslim state before the Kingdom of Siam conquered the Muslims. Since the creation of "Thailand", Muslims have had to live under the shadow of a Buddhist government that actively promotes and protects Buddhism. Furthermore, the Thai Head of State must be a Buddhist.
This justifies place the bombs?
To kill school teachers?
The beheading of monks?

No negotiations with murderers and bombers.
The only language these terrorists understand is a bullet in the head.
Muslims in the south can practice their faith and can send their children to an Islamic school.
The extremists and the preachers of hate are the danger.
Normal Muslims hate them too.-

in gerneral i would say:
It is better to arrest serial-criminals first.
After you can study them. -
That's generally the case with most individuals who seek out and join gangs. They are unable to fend for themselves or stand on their own two feet.
Honestly, I don't think that's true at all.
Many of the people who join motorcycle gangs do so for the brotherhood. In theory a fully patched member of a motorcycle club knows that whatever happens his fellow club members will be there for him, no matter what. And he can trust them with his life. It's not hard to understand the appeal, is it?
The only other place a man can find such a bond is in the military.
Don't flame me for saying that, I'm not talking about outlaw or non outlaw gangs here, just general motorcycle gangs.
If you want to know more, just read "Out in Bad Standings" by Edward Winterhalder. It'll give you an insight into what a motorcycle gang is supposed to be all about.
"And he can trust them with his life."
That's a bit pathetic
Isn´t it?

Unemployable - would you employ him?
If I had a disco in the red light milieu, perhaps as a bouncer.
I also know of two types with full facial tattoos.
When they reach a certain age they are quite nice.
The CVs are mostly equal.
The rock and roll time between 20 - 35 yo
Then prison time.
After they feed pigeons in the park.

Where all the billions come from?
Hopefully they follow the money flow back to the source!
Many try to launder their black money with investments into mines, land, hotels, resorts and stock market operations.
For example, buy a resort/hotel with 100-rooms for 500 Million Baht.
In the tax declaration, all rooms are fully booked throughout the/every year.
Then they pay taxes legally for the hotel income (but in reality there are hardly any guests).
The result is then clean (after tax) money.
They must follow the money flow back to the source!-

That's today the going style by a motorbike group president?With an Armani T-shirt and in short school turn pants?That's shameless.
Do you think that Armani T-shirt and Rolex looking wristwatch are the real deal? Or Patpong specials?
The Aussie press article does say he launched his own designer clothing label!
Must be Patpong night markt specials, otherwise how he can run out of funds?
A real gold Rolex brings easy $20.000US.

Has he even been found guilty yet?
What happens if he is found not guilty?
Today, Pol.Lt.Gen. Pongpat was sentenced to 20 years for violating the Anti-Money Laundering Act. The jail term was reduced to 10 years because of his confession. His ex-deputy Pol.Lt.Gen. Kowit and four other defendants were sentenced to five years, and the sixth, a former chief of the Marine Police Division, was sentenced to one year and six months.

He said all problems rested with only one fact that if he wished to see reconciliation, he must return to face justice system.
Under existing laws, Taksin would never get sent a new passport + to get back his frozen Billions of money.

3 guns, 3 gangsters, 2 shots, 1 dead.
The circumstances of the first shot can not be clearly seen on CCTV.
The second shot was an Execution.
Maybe the court will give the second gunner in its judgment the same favor.The pleasure tonight to visit a bar has passed me.
Bt5.8 bn earmarked to protect buffaloes
in Thailand News
Posted
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.
