This seems to have been a relatively easy job which is the way Thai officialdom likes it however $800,000 is a drop in the ocean compared to the assets he is claimed to have amassed.

Hoever remember the story goes that his bank accounts were only frozen after he had emptied most of them.

It seems that once again DSI has no idea where he is and bungled an arrest attempt in Laos which was, of course, the fault of obstruction by Lao officials and the fact the fugitive just happened to have a helicopter handy.

At least Tarit can keep organising media calls to explain what they are planning to do whereas actually carrying them out is a completely different story.

Let not your hearts be troubled as Queen Canute will order the waters back, providing she's actually in the country that is and there's not much chance of that.

A "road " show to promote high speed trains and I'll bet they don't go to Nong Khai on the current rail system.

Haunt him?

Abhisit is a Geordie. They don't believe in ghosts.

They might see some now and then depending on how much Newcastle Brown Ale they've had but WorGeordie can clarify no doubt.

Seen many things on an excess of Broon ale, but it was mostly the floor!

LOL...nice one. personally I've always favoured the " big white telephone ".

Will libraries index the book under Fiction or Fantasy ?

Will a Library be big enough to hold it?

Highly unlikely as this is only Volume 1 !

Thank God I didn't take the photo at face value and read on including the posts as I thought the all powerful BIB had contrived to get the deceased to do the pointing.

Everyhing about SRT is sub-standard including materials, equipement, maintenance, a non-existent maintenance timetable and the attitude of top officialdom who rely on evil spirits taking the blame.

If the SRT boss says the tracks at the main station in Bangkok are old it writes off the rest of the entire system especially the further away from the capital it gets.

“I’ll attend the parliamentary deliberations if I’m not engaged in other obligations,”

And that sums up the idiot this country has as a PM. A 2.2 trillion loan and she'll attend IF Hermes doesn't bring in something new.

Farcical isn't it ? This loan is supposedly absolutely necessary so the government can carry forward so many wonderful plans to improve the country yet the PM can only attend if she doesn;t have something else to do.

With her abysmal record of non-attendance in parliament and various committees that she actually chairs I can only assume " other obligations " means yet another overseas trip.

.

Diplomatic niceties, he knows the score that she's a puppet and of course the real PM has visited Japan.

He and the rest of the region would have to be real dummies to take YL seriously.

It must have been a shock to her as I thought PTP's idea of national security was no non-red protests and no criticism of her.

Might be time the tables were turned, just think of all those poor innocent dumb farang guys that have been getting ripped-off for years, time for some revenge.

Also, it's heartening to see the DSI concentrating on the important matters which affect Thailand.

DSI is waiting for 5 arrests warrants for 2 Thais and 3 Nigerians but given their recent track record will they ever actually find them far less enforce the warrants ?

Oh yes i'm sure he will be able to put an end to this and all the other practices that allow students to " pass ' exams they failed or get grades they didn't earn.

While he's at it how about admission to schools and universities because of who the student is irrespective of ability or appropriate grades ?

Heavens no this won't do, it goes against Thai culture and tradition.

In an attempt to dry out the damaged rice, the warehouse owner relocated the rice to a space behind the warehouse.

Maybe he was trying to dry it out the rice by burning it.

A story in the other newspaper says the inital government report claims the rice was subject to " spontaeneous combustion " so the public is being asked to believe this wet and rotting rice suddenly burst into flames and this in the rainy season too !

Government excuses for everything are becoming ever more ridiculous and spontaneous combustion is up there with the evil spirts much loved by SRT and Thai Airways.

That is possible.....put enough wet grass together and it may start to burn on itself. It is the heat from rotting inside.

But still....flooded rice, flooded with dirty water, will be placed outside the warehouse for drying where it start burning....that story is bad....

He took the wet rotting rice out of his warehouse because it is lost. Put it behind the warehouse so he can proof that he didn't sell it.

To be fair, if you read the article carefully, it was the Marketing Organisation for Farmers that come up with the "spontaneous combustion" theory as part of their initial "probe", not the government. The Deputy Commerce Minister said that the government would investigate further.

Thanks for the correction. It will be interesting to see if the government goes along with it.

And now the Tapioca boys are going to join the party . . . who's next?

I said it weeks ago when this first started, sugar cane next and chicken.

By PTP making unrealistic promises and enough of the voting population believing them, both parts having no concept of consequences, together they have managed to screw the entire country.

I can't see any pleasant way out of this.

Exactly. The government has shot itself in both feet with the rice scheme and their inability to get out of it and it has set a precedent for all other sectors.

Another example of not thinking something through.

Addressing to the court how I've been ripped off before I'm due to depart. Can't wait.

Just how many of these cases will require an adjournment until long after the complainant is out of the country ?

"Banharn limp"

At 82 what can he really expect?

Do you mean his gait or anything to do with the lovely young lady he was photographed with ?

I hope it's his walk.

"I'm a politician who is concerned about the country, so I will do my best to do my duty."

I wonder if even he believes this?

I for sure do not

IMO people in Thailand are in politics for personal and financial gain ..... and power

Nothing surer and so often it's very thinly disguised.
