And yet another murder that is successfully swept under the carpet.
Seriously did anyone ever think that the truth would come out and individuals arrested, tried and imprisoned.
Once again the world witnesses the true face of Thailand, it's corruption, ineptness and ultimately it's willingness to scupper any type of justice to protect certain individuals. Truly a despicable place.

They can come up with any system they like; that's not the issue. The issue relating to all the problems this country has is corruption and until they put a stop to corrupt officials their systems will lack any substance.
Note how all the officials keep stating in press releases just what a great job they are doing and how effective they are. It's all BS.
Bring on the EU ban!

The project was part of the plan to help strengthen democracy in Thailand through the democratic youth workshop.
How on earth can you strengthen something that no long exists? Obviously they don't have the slightest idea to the differences between a legitimately elected government by a public vote (democracy) and an act of treason that results in a military takeover (coup / junta / dictatorship).
Must be a Thainess thing I'm missing or something far more insidious as brainwashing kids into thinking that a military dictatorship is a form of democracy.

Time Thailand was banished from the UN and the other UN members piled on the sanctions. Time to bring Thailand to book for human rights atrocities .... they did it with Saddam and Iraq why not Thailand?

The court announced that it was uncertain which side fired the bullet and from direction it was fired from. The court also announced the same result with the killings of two red-shirt protesters, Wasant Phuthong and Thossachai Mekngamfah.
Either a complete cover-up or simply attesting to the piss poor forensics science capabilities currently in Thailand. Either way the loss of face is clearly evident. Moronic, deceitful, untrustworthy, corrupt and disgraceful are just a few words that come to mind.
I'd like to see the family of the Japanese cameraman sue them for billions.

I wonder what information he has and whether Prayut and his band are worried he'll spill the beans on something they don't want uncovered.

So let me get this straight ... I can walk up to any tourist attraction and whisper in the ear of the ticket vendor to hand over 1,000 baht under the table and then he / she will hand over said graft and let me in for free. Then I'll also be able to ramble through any national park and treat it like a garbage dump and the Thais will then be delighted to have me as a foreigner in their country. Remarkable ... or remarkably Thai should I say.
Seriously can't these clowns come up with anything better?

The country needs more than .25% interest rate to fix the economy. It needs to devalue to encourage exports and ramp up tax reforms.
Mostimportantly, it needs to enter the 21st century and encourage more foreign investment. Allow foreign ownership of property, even if
they restrict to one property with a reasonable value - this would encourage foreigners to come here, purhase prooperties and boost the
building sector.
Adopting a more welcome and honest approach to trade agreements, would also be a good idea. But maybe Iam dreaming1
What you are proposing is common sense, unfortunately you are dreaming as you pointed out. I've always said that Thailand's income could be significantly increased if they allowed ownership of property even if they capped it at 2 rai. Trouble is those pesky foreigners will be digging it up and taking it with them ... that's their perception at least. Yes can't have foreigners stealing the land as their won't be any left for the Thai. It's a train of thinking that beggars belief in modern times and one of the reasons economic growth is restricted.

The suspect who fired three times at the police officer claimed that he saw Montra trying to draw his handgun and decided to fire at him for self defence.

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday denied being involved with the broadcasting regulator's decision to revoke the licence for Peace TV, but said no one should be afraid if they have not done anything wrong.
I wonder if Prayut would clarify the term 'doing anything wrong'. Is there a list of do's and don't's and if so how does such fit in with a transparent democracy society .... oh yeah that's right you don't have one. Carry of oppressing regardless!

A TOTAL of 292 people have come forward to file police complaints, saying they suffered losses worth Bt110 million from UFUN Store's alleged pyramid scheme, assistant national police chief Pol Lt-General Suwira Songmeta said yesterday.
And no doubt the list will grow as greedy and stupid people come out of the woodwork.

Let's be honest here ... this is not about creating laws; in fact laws already exist. This is about enforcement of the law which those in power will ignore when it has the attribute of adding millions to their bank balance.
All that has been reported on the subject has centered around how bad a ban would be for Thailand's economy ... on one of these low-life's has once mentioned the fact that a change and enforcement of the laws would finally help prevent human trafficking and slavery. Yes we see the true face of Thailand every time a minister opens their mouths.
Frankly they despicable track record on human rights abuses should have moved all nations to ostracized Thailand decades ago. Let's hope that a ban ensues and they learn the hard way that it is not acceptable practice to profit from slavery and human suffering.

The first issue of the Prayut government's tabloid newsletter was published yesterday. A total of 60,000 copies of "Government Newsletter for the People" will be distributed across the country.
So 63 million people have to share 60,000 copies; that 1 copy for ever 1,050 people ... must be hard wearing paper to take that kind of abuse.
What worries me is that the PM is determined to see peace and prosperity ... the question is for whom? Maybe the newsletter is just aimed at their elitist buddies?
Prayut appears to be stuck with nothing tangible to report and so keeps repeating his own rhetoric but who is he trying to convince?

This might now be the case if ....
A) The EU imposes a ban on the fishing industry ... that would release up a few workers. Ops, sorry just realised they are not Thai workers but rather people who have been trafficked and enslaved.
The baht continues to rise which pushes out foreign investment. You'll see the likes of Toyota, Honda etc along with electronics manufacturers heading across the border ... that will certainly put a lot of people in the market for a job.The meeting acknowledged that it was necessary to recruit more foreign workers if domestic workforce was insufficient.
Foreigners meaning Burmese, Loas and Cambodians. Eventually these people will also come to a point where their treatment here is no longer accepted or needed if major manufacturers open up in their home countries. The Thai superiority stance is going to come back and bite them in the backside and it's coming real soon.
This country reminds me of a fabled ship where the owners claimed it was unsinkable .... funny name ... Titanic .... THAITANIC

They government has almost impossible situations on their hands. Past governments and state officials have done little or nothing to correct them and now they are all falling into the General's hands at about the same time. I hope he can resolve them. I don't envy his position.
Fair comment to a degree BUT where did he manage to get his vast wealth from? What this country needs is someone willing to be transparent and unable to be corrupted. Prayut has already been asked to explain his wealth but like most in the elitist camp he refuses to do so ... something to hide perhaps? Who knows?
The other mantra is that he didn't have to take the job but in fact he engaged in an illegal act and took power by force thereby over-throwing a democratically elected government; whether you liked that government or not is irrelevant.

A leading banker is warning of the possible banning of Thailand’s fishery products by the European Union will have a dire effect on the country’s economy.
So there's a least one that hasn't got he head stuck firmly up his backside and believes that Thailand is immune from external forces.
What Prayut and his merry band don't seem to see is that if the EU enforces the ban then the US are almost certain to follow suit. It could cost the Thai economy over $2 billion in lost revenue and a hefty impact on the economy.
Banthoon Lamsam, chairman and chief executive officer of Kasikorn Bank, stated that the main problems facing the country at the moment are the economy, civil aviation industry and the fisheries sector.
Pity he didn't go on to underline the real issue of the issues ... Corruption! Yes it might seem like a good idea to generate vast wealth by stealing it but alas there comes a time when the you realise that the economy is built on quick-sand and the building is beginning to sink into the abyss.
He advises that both the private and government sectors coordinate to resolve the problem to avoid an economic crisis that could cripple the country.
What he asks for he won't get. Ultimately it will have to result in arresting all those who have engaged in profiting from human trafficking, slavery and illegal fishing. Who knows how high up the tree this goes and if you arrest the small fish without significant compensation then they'll start point the finger up the line. Once again corruption will make a country eventually pay the price for you cannot run an economy based on the uneven and unstable grounds of corruption.
Meanwhile the Department of Harbour is coordinating with the relevant departments to solve the problem of human trafficking which is the root complaint of illicit human trade by western countries.
As if they were surprised. They knew what was going on and many of them have become rich by it.
He admitted that in the past counterfeit papers were widely used by fishing vessels but the problem is now being looked after by the Department for Special Investigations (DSI) and there should be a dramatic reduction in the foreseeable future.
Yes and who supplied the counterfeit documents and who looked the other way after receiving a bundle of cash. Neither was done out of friendship or the goodness of their heart because you can't be friends with crooks and you can't have a heart when you are prepared to be complicit in the act of human trafficking and slavery.
The bottom line is that Banthoon Lamsam is perfectly correct; it could well cripple the economy for the fishing industry is in fact tied to many others, boats, machinery, engines and so forth and all these businesses will feel the effects.
On a personal note ... I think it would be a far greater kindness for the EU to impose a ban. Maybe then they'll learn the true lesson that corruption doesn't work in the long-term and that human trafficking and slavery is the lowest possible level you can sink to in order to make a profit.

Democracy ... Thai style. When those that wish to speak the truth, uncover the corruption, highlight the issues of human trafficking, slavery and all the other ills facing this country the only thing open to the likes of Prayut and his junta is to attempt to silence and eradicate any form of criticism in the hope that the underlying issues can be conveniently swept under the carpet.
Things will only get worse.

Yes all very well and good but will this involve eradicating the structure of graft, human trafficking and slavery which plagues the entire nation? Just think what Thailand could become if those in positions of power weren't so bloody greedy.

Just think that most of the damage done wouldn't have occurred if they buried the power and phone lines. It's incredible how the engineers have a clue which lines to repair when one goes down.

Headline ... Marine Department taking swift action against illegal fishing in Thailand
Not exactly accurate is it because .... According to Deputy Director General of the Marine Department Nat Japjai, relevant laws pertaining to the fishing industry have been enforced rigorously after the European Union (EU) threatened to ban seafood imports from Thailand unless the shortcomings were resolved in 6 months.
And yet there remain no reports of any officials or fishing fleet owners / captains being arrested and charged with slavery and murder.
The OP gets worse ... The laws are expected to keep the industry transparent and prevent human trafficking. Thailand has been accused by the EU of not complying with its anti-illegal fishing regulations. Yes and I suspect millions of lottery ticket holders 'expected' to win the lottery ... expecting something to happen doesn't translate in to measurable action that clearly shows something has been achieved.
The Marine Department is expected to make sure that every fishing vessel is registered and monitored frequently. Fishing vessels with the capacity of under 20 ton gross will be exempted from official inspection fees. There we go again using the word 'expected' and still nothing achieved. Like anything else in Thailand it's all about rhetoric in the hope that someone, in this case the EU, will be fooled by their BS.
As others point out ... the laws have always existed but unfortunately Thai society is so corrupt and doesn't give a crap about people providing they get their tea money which is why nothing is ever achieved and why this country is now facing a crisis.

"I will continue to do everything possible to advocate for a stay of execution and a reconsideration of the clemency bid of the two men," Bishop said.
Yes it's a pity that the drug traffickers didn't consider offering their victims of drug addiction clemency by not trafficking drugs. Time to bite the bullet and rid the earth of these scumbags and peddlers of misery and death.
"This is not in the best interests of Indonesia, let alone the best interests of the young Australians concerned," Abbott told reporters in France.
So what is Mr. Abbott? Allowing drug traffickers, the peddlers of misery and death, to carry on living at the expense of the Indonesian taxpayer in the hope that one day they might be released only to carry on their vile trade?
All this focus on scumbag drug dealers and yet not an ounce or whisper of outrage for the victims of drug traffickers.
The United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon appealed to Indonesia on Sunday to stop the executions.
And would Ban Ki-moon bee prepared to ensure these drug traffickers are never release and foot the bill for their life of imprisonment? I doubt that very much.
The FACT remains ... there are clear warnings to people who attempt to traffic drugs and anyone doing so certainly knows the penalties. Despite the clear threat of the death penalty they went ahead out of pure greed with not a care in the world has to how many families their product would destroy or how many would die as a result ... yes drug addiction on this level is a death penalty in itself but that doesn't way on the conscience of the drug dealer for they have no such cares; it's all about making money and now these are going to pay the price of which they were fully aware would have to be paid in the event they got caught.
I applaud President Joko Widodo for his stance ... keep up the good work Sir I salute you.

They'll be lucky to achieve 2% at the rate they are going. The baht is far too strong to boost exports and if the EU bans fishery products it will have a significant impact; even more so if the US retains T3 and it too then imposes import bans.
The baht continues to rise which pushes out foreign investment. You'll see the likes of Toyota, Honda etc along with electronics manufacturers heading across the border ... that will certainly put a lot of people in the market for a job.
Petition aims to get children to wear motorbike helmets
in Thailand News Headlines

So the start a petition ... this simply goes to show they are NOT capable of enforcing the law.
Certainly things and the law should change. They should ensure that no child under the age of 10 is permitted to ride pillion and no person under the age of 17 should be permitted to operate a vehicle and that should only be permitted after extensive training and a written test.
