This would be great news, if I could believe anything he says.

Many things in life can be classed as impossible and this is one of them. As Churchill would have said " he is inebriated by the exuberance of his own verbosity " and is even worse when he's on the sauce, that is if he's ever of it. No doubt he'll find an excuse to give an interview to explain again why he isn't giving interviews

As for concerns that the prison does not have a health center to care for sick inmates and that they have to seek medical care outside and might escape, the corrections department chief voiced that he did not believe Kamnan Poh could escape as he is an old man with bad health.

May as well leave the cell and prison door unlocked. He's old and sick. He's not going anywhere.

He aint going anywere, is what he told his son.

Of all the prisons in Thailand they send him to his home province which he " ruled " for decades and where he can expect favours, extra consideration and to be treated as a VIP prisoner. He still has a lot of clout which probably helped arrange this favourable transfer and I would never suggest that his son would have assisted in any way.

Nothing is ever what it seems in Thailand. A fugitive who has evaded arrest for 7 years is finally arrested and the ruling party claim a victory despite the fact his son is a cabinet member AND the self same ruling party members openly associaet with and regularly visit another well known fugitive

I can smell this story from 100 miles away.

They need to put the lid on fast,

Ten people to be summoned for questioning which will take time yet with indecent haste, given there is still a lot to be uncovered, Chalerm has announced the Minister of Culture will not be charged with aiding his father ! Is anyone surprised ?

So why do ministers and other faithful keep making the pilgrimage to the Middle East, whenever a reshuffle is in-the-offing, and how to explain her clone-brother's reported remarks in the New York Times article ?

Someone once said " the truth is just a tale told often enough "so mabye she's been talking to herself a lot and actually believes it but she's probably the only person in Thailand that does

I hope she gets about 20 years in the monkey house to think about it and would love to question the parents of the 15 year old girl to see if any trafficking was involved.

Welcome to Thailand, i doubt she will ever see a jail cell, a huge number start working in the industry at the age of 12, at 15 they already working gogo bars

The parents are, of course, totally unaware

Why on earth didn't the authorities contact the Swiss Embassy informing them of her arrest?

If it wasn't for pure luck she could have been in jail for a very long time.

The Thai authorities care little for their own people so it goes to follow even less for foreigners

Thank heaven it was not a Thai shooting the tourists....Not sure Phuket can withstand any more bad news......

Missed shots times two ??? Strange........

Well, I wouldn't exactly call this "good news". It merely reinforces the opinion of many of us that Phuket is a place that is best avoided.

The Thai tourist people must be close to suicide, as if recent publicity hasn't been bad enough they now have foreigners shooting each other

whats with that? if given a choice, they rather ignore these human trafficking, is that what they are saying

There may be "no choice" but if there's a way around it we can be sure the authorities will find it and not worry too much how flimsy the excuse is

Obama's inauguration has pushed this out of the headlines, let's hope it's only temporary so the government can't wriggle off the hook

This story is generating its own momentum but will it make any difference ?
