Panudech said the yaba pills could be worth Bt256 million and the crystal meth Bt300 million.
Who are the perpetrators and Financiers in the background?
Strangely, the evil masterminds in the background are never caught.
I hope they choke to dead on their drug money. -
Murderers run free around here.
Without penalty.Unbelievable.-

Becomes more dangerous here.
I think I'm going to apply for a gun license.
Looks as foreigners can be robbed, assaulted, beaten up and killed here without any penalty.
500 baht bail and these criminals are tomorrow again outside. -
So inflexible.
Why they let not buy the students a lesson bundle per year.
For example: 52 weeks x 10 hours = 520 hours per year.
If a student wants to study more intensively he can do that.
Besides, the student could have a schoolbook and the school will stamp or confirms the visited hours.
Easy.
Besides, the students can then travel inside the country (and spend money!!!), so as better to learn and practise the language.
Sometimes I have the feeling this whole visa changes scare people away from visit Thailand!-

didnt they have a taxi driver "witness" but he was an honest man and wouldn't play ball
Here is the story:
THE NATIONAL Human Rights Commission will discuss next week what action should be taken after police again failed to answer a summons related to the much-publicised murders on Koh Tao.Despite the summons, police failed to come before an NHRC subcommittee last week and also yesterday.His subcommittee is looking into an allegation that two suspects, both Myanmar nationals, were tortured into confessing to the killing of two British tourists on Koh Tao.If the confessions as evidence disappear, the whole case is on thin ice.The actual course of events in the night of murder seems totally unclear without witnesses.It then remains only circumstantial. And this evidence there en masse and are very contradictory been disseminated in the press.
Hopefully the real killers are caught and punished. -
If we had not realised it before, this is much bigger than just protecting his friend,the headman!!
Supplying drugs to the 3 islands is a billion baht franchise, which the BIB under no circumstances will allow to be interrupted!!
Day before yesterday, our friend here bought shares on SET for 360 million baht (in his wifes name) in a company called WAT.
I read in BP 04.10.2014 that:
National police chief Somyot Pumpanmuang has 246.4 million baht in assets and his wife has 128.2 million baht in assets. With the couple's liabilities of 18.8 million baht, their net worth is 355.8 million.His assets include a number of watches, rings and firearms as well as 12 famous Buddha amulets worth 25 millionDid he sell all his rings, watches and Buddha amulets for the SET trade?Please can you post a link to the source?

Body searches and piss tests without reason I've not seen yet in any other country.
A degrading procedure against tourists.
Thailand must not be surprised that the tourist numbers go down.-

I must read this:
Following the arrest of two Myanmar nationals for the murders of Hannah Witheridge and David Miller last month, a lawyer on the Myanmar Embassy’s legal team, who met the two, said that one of the men alleged police beat and threatened him with electrocution. -
The suspects have confessed.Did the suspects signed any papers?if so, did the suspects fully understood what they have maybe signed?

I really do hope that Sean has told everything he knows to someone in the media. His run-in with the bar manager and frantic Facebook posts really were the catalyst for all the conspiracy theories. Imagine if we'd never heard from Sean. I wonder whether this case would have be wound up much sooner?
Sean, why did you say the bar owner committed the crime?
Sean, what did you mean when you said the bar manager was the 'leader'?
Sean, you said that you were only guessing when you posted that David died defending Hannah. Yet you never said that you were only guessing when you named the murderer.
Sean, you made these explosive claims to the world.
What do you really know, Sean?
Tell the world now!
He's probably already sold his soul to the devil and his 'friends' plus these 2 poor Burmese kids down the river for i guess somewhere around £10k
Will just have to wait for the documentary...
Im afraid this is my suspicion too, threatening him was a failure so maybe a compensatory package worked??
Speculation but, he has been quiet and that is not a good thing...
Possible with #121 DogmatixWould also fit with the McAnna story, the types of cuts, motorcycle wounds usually look different.He worked for a long time in the ACbar and knows the people.
Maybe he was trying to calm down the rejected man on the beach.He got also some cuts and then ran bleeding away with his guitar.The traces of blood on his guitar, with a gradient from top to bottom are shown on the photo.Fits also, that he has seen washing his blood off that night.
He has heard next morning that both are death.Would explain his FB statement that David defended Hannah.In the ACbar then, he met the two thai men, which probably made it clear that they will testify thathe was also there and involved. Two powerful thai men testify against one foreigner.
Then he fear for his life, send his statements and has left the island and then Thailand as soon as possible. -

One thing that surprised me about Ko Toa is how late its bars shut. Walking home in the dark on a beach pitch black isn't a good idea. Why did they return to their hotel that way is there lit up areas on the beach now? I've been there twice and there was no lighting next to the beach. Also there is news reports of a second weapon a stick, can anyone confirm this? And the Chris Ware going home is to me strange, if it were my best mate from childhood killed I'd stay and try to help find out who did this to him. The gangster theory seems a little far fetched more over its a national vacationing on Ko To a who has returned home by now.
People like walking along the beach at night because it is a beautiful place. They certainly don't do it to get themselves raped and murdered.
Yes, the Chris Ware thing is strange - some people are strange. But the DNA testing appears to have cleared him.
The gangster theory is farfetched? Really? Why? They are everywhere in Thailand. A vacationing Thai? You think there are no gangsters on Koh Tao? That's a bit naive. Pick an island - any island - and it has a local mafia or three.. .and Koh Tao's is small and totally insular. You'd have trouble getting anyone to bear witness against such a person, unless the police jailed all of the guy's friends and all of his family.
The scenario that has been looming in my mind the whole time has been: Entitled youngster (that's 20s to me) of local mafia family - and one or two of his mates.... used to acting with total impunity, which, over the years, has made the little bastard into an egomaniacal bastard, capable of almost anything. Zipped on speed and booze - the world's best combination for having stupid ideas and actually following through on them. They decide to follow these two or happen upon them and decide to have a go at the girl, and things turn uglier and uglier. If there'd been an argument between the tourists and someone who fancies himself as a local "big dick" with an even more inflated (and falsely based) sense of pride than your average Thai male, that would make perfect sense - and explain the heights of the anger and cruelty. Speeding off his teats, he rounds up a mate or two to "teach them a lesson about who is important around here and showing "the proper respect." And, as always in his life... he gets away with it.
This was the first scenario dreamed up by most people who have lived here awhile... it was certainly the first guess of several people I know who lived in Koh Tao for extended periods. But these police clowns, keen not to implicate a Thai, in line with the nationalistic fantasies of their boss, (Quote: "I cannot believe a Thai person did this"), have been bungling about Keystone-style trying to blame migrant workers who normally wouldn't say boo to a mouse... aggressive Burmese migrant workers don't last long in places like koh Tao - they have no protection whatsoever, and as we have seen, are the first people to get blamed. Koh Tao would not be the place to be a Burmese criminal.
So finally they get on the right track... and it will be too late, and the guy will get away with it.
After 20 years on the islands I can say: Spot on.It has here on the islands, many thai adolescents with rich parents.Many do not work and some take all kinds of crazy drugs.At night to come in conflicts with these groups of intoxicated mongoloids is dangerous.RIP

what effects tourism ?
First the article in the OP is complete nonsense and is a fine example of people in Thailand that don't have a clue thinking they do, tourists have absolutely no interest in what figures Thailand published about numbers - here is what matters
- Safety
- Value for money
- exchange rate
- double pricing
- greed
- over pricing
- Infrastructure
- cleanliness
- environment
- corruption
- Mafia in tourist areas abusing tourists - scams
The short term decline could probably be mostly attributed to the state of finances in other countries.
Any long term decline trend is attributable to the list above
As I have said many times before the Thai people have been making large sums from tourism for years but instead of using 10 - 20 - 30% of that and putting it back in to improve all of the above they can't get it into their pockets fast enough - pure greed without forward thinking
Private sector has been building world class hotels and other accommodation but unfortunately once you step out into the city you are met with stench pollution filth danger corruption scams and abuse which they have done nothing to improve for years
They need to get their heads out of their greedy asses and see it for what it is
Paying the same price for a bottle of beer in tourist areas as people do back home is quite simply ridiculous - they have priced themselves out of business, a fine example would be waking street in Pattaya - price fixing exists and if you step out of the box you will be removed - a beer is 35baht in a 7/11 it should never be anywhere near 280baht no matter where your business operates
That sums up the whole very good.Thailand was an exotic holiday destination with all its natural palm-fringed beaches.With the beautiful wide-set romantic beach huts.Calm, relaxing, with nice locals, healthy food and at good prices.Today:At the beach, the palm trees are gone.Everywhere are now long rows of town houses made of concrete.The beaches are dirty, it stinks of garbage in the heat.It is loud, the locals are often rude and the food is bland.The prices are high for normal earners.The beaches are more and more dominated by the hotel chains.Many resorts are walled with 2 meter high concrete walls.The range of luxury accommodation is rising, but is not enough demand.It lacks a reasonable target group analysis and in a long-term development planning.-

Word on the soi: he was having a drink in the early hours with a lady at or near Bar 4. Her boyfriend took exception. Backed with 3 buddies the fight began and continued at Nana Hotel. It was 4 on 1. One man is dead and Bar 4 is closed for a week.
You've missed out the bit about him refusing to pay his bill which is apparently what started it. It ended when he received some assistance to fall from the 5th floor. Those who killed him are known in the area to the locals.
After 48 hours, there is still no official statement from the investigating authorities?
Not really a big news story, not sure what you were expecting. Not even sure this would classify as news in many places ... guy acting strangely and aggressively in one of the seediest areas of a country getting into a scuffle and dying, likely by offing himself. Beyond finding out who had earlier got into a scuffle with, not sure what more there is to report beyond autopsy results and toxicological reports which will take weeks if not months to be available and again not sure this rates as that newsworthy to be followed up on unless they find some mystery poison in him and turned out he was some kind of spy or foreign agent.

I expecting the truth of what happened.

The machetes are not determined to peel potatoes.Maybe they should generally prohibit in cities to wear this kind of machetes.Is not the first time that people are being slaughtered so.It amazes me what kind of weapons are sold openly on the fairgrounds.

According to another source, Prayuth: Knowing everyone behind attacks.The coup leader said he had the names of the supporters and financiers
of the violent attacks in 2010 and in 2013 and this year, and he urged them to report to authorities.
“You would be shocked and surprised if I revealed the names”.If so, why the public did not know the names?Why should they be named before they are arrested and charged ?
Then let's hope that soon arrests are reported and the backers can not flee abroad.The masterminds are warned now.-

“If we believe their purpose in coming to Thailand is not what they say it is, then we will order them to leave and they will be blacklisted.
They will not be able to return to Thailand, ever.”
If we do not believe?
For what reason is there then the blacklisting?
That sounds like arbitrariness, according to there daily mood.-

I think the residents are concerned about their environment and the consequences of the mining industry.
And they have every right to be concerned. I am not disagreeing with that.
I am disagreeing with your statement that there is a conflict of interest. The minister no longer holds shares in Akkara mining. He is not "privately involved" with them.
Conflict of interest with a question mark, please!
So you're not trying to say there was a conflict of interest because he used to own shares?
That he was an influential person in finance and in the mining industry until some days before, is undisputed.Now villagers demand the NACC to examine the independence.That there are exist relationships of the past is undisputed without naivety.Conflict of interest? (That is a question)Who knows what is previously expired there in the villages from mining.
So i like that the NACC check this.Sounds cool.

Or you think the Villagers do a PR stunt?
The villagers don't like the fact that the Industry Minister knows about industry.

He sold his shares recently, as it is in the article.
Is it good if the NACC checking this.
An assets and wealth check should be obligatory upon every high official and politician.
He most likely sold his shares when he became minister. As such he would no longer be "privately involved" with the company. Therefore, (back to your original comment) there would be no "conflict of interest".
"used to be"
Or you think the Villagers do a PR stunt?

Perhaps the Minister of Industry gives the mining rights exclusive to companies at which he is privately involved?
Which companies is he currently "privately involved"?
Minister Chakkramont used to be a shareholder in the Akkara mining company or Akkara Resources gold-mining company.
If you are Interested:
"used to be", so in other words, "not currently".
