Deflection, or a sudden gnawing realisation that possibly, just possibly, they might be innocent and the entire judicial system corrupt....and begining to fray at the edges?

If Boss gets a criminal record, would it in any way be an obstacle to him holding directorships or office of any kind here in Thailand? Maybe that's why they are putting up such a fight to protect him.
Who would be daft enough to give him a job? Any job? (as if he needed one.....)

CAAT once again wrong priorities, your job is to take care of aircraft safety ATC, Pilot training etc and not the health of a country. Looks like it is run by people who failed their pilot training and now want revenge. An extension run by corrupt politicians I would say.
In the 13 years I have lived in Thailand, CAAT (formerly DCA) has consistently served aviation safety. By means of Byzantine rules, delay, obfustication, incomprehension, inexplicable losses of mostly irrelevant paperwork, ridiculous inspections of things they know nothing about, by teams of people who know even less, they manage to prevent pilots an aircraft from flying.
In their view, it seems, the safest place for an aircraft or a pilot is on the ground. In recent years they have tightened financial controls, so that the moderate bribery that kept us flying has been turned to corporate extortion.
Don't get me started on the "national security" aspects..........

Just one world , no more countries , no more borders , everybody can settle wherever he wants ... laws are the same for everybody ...
The planet respectfully managed with priority to a healthy environment , less dense population to enable that , corrupt politicians replaced by AI ... but very strict laws and for who brakes them , severe punishment ... a home and enough free money for living provided for everybody ... kids are taught to be a part of a community that has different and better values than today's society ... greed and destruction of natural ecosystems become serious crimes , education and science are favored , manual work is mostly done by robots and machines ...
and then I woke up ... to a very different reality .
You really do need to stop watching Startrek!

Even if they reopen the case and it goes to trial, where are they going to find 12 good men and true who have not been biased by the press coverage.
Oops, silly me, wrong country, wrong legal system. Sorry.

How kind of you to condescend to the "servants"

Another Africa story, in Bulawayo, my aunt had problems with the servants. They lived in a hut at the end of the garden, quite civilised. Every night there would be a number of men visiting with the maid, who was a young, slim African lady of let's say twenties age.
Tired of the noise and arguments this provoked, when the time came to "replace" the maid, my aunt chose the fattest, ugliest female she could find.
The "business" at the end of the garden more than doubled!
Some people prefer the "traditionally built"..............

Please don't laugh at people with weight problem. It's cruel to do so. They can't help it really.
When I was at puberty in school I was underweight so what I did I ate throughout the day , really high calories foods, it took me about 2 years before I gained some weight and looked better in T-shirt.
Of course they can help it.
There were no fat prisoners in Belsen.
Or Kanchanaburi.

This reminds me of an incident in my former life, in Bulawayo, Rhodesia. Sitting in a restaurant, a "traditionally built" American lady (of non-African descent) came in looking for somewhere to sit. The chairs were all of the welded metal rod and mesh variety, quite comfortable, some with arms, some not.
The lady was offered an armless seat by the African waiter. This she volubly declined, insisting on one with arms, which she occupied with some difficulty.
After consuming an enormous meal, and paying the bill, she tried to leave. Unfortunately, she could not get out of the chair...... her hips were so wide they were trapped by the arms! It took 3 staff members to lever the chair off her behind, amidst much grunting, heaving, and amusement.
Loss of face? I should say so!

Mobile service provider has a record of the calls.
Late Breaking News:
AIS records office burns to the ground.
????
Most Thai use Line or Whatsapp or such, rather than sms, so unlikely to be anything incriminating on the sim or phone company records, apart from a call list. The phone however would retain line messages unless deleted, and the ip server would also have them for a while in encrypted form. Very difficult to access.
If the "Boss" family give up their entire inheritances past present and future to they who cannot be named, the whole thing will just go away. Otherwise they will be blackmailed until the end of time. Unless of course they do the sensible thing and hand him over, and put up their hands to bribery and corruption, with names and details.
Oh sorry, that would shorten their life expectancies rather drastically!

A lot of pickups and samlors have set up food stalls along roads which never had any, or very few, before: this Pattaya darkside.
There is a HUGE increase in numbers of mad GrabFood, FoodPanda, etc delivery motos, and a lot more courier bikes.
There is always a seasonal trade in roadside fruit, but vastly greater numbers, higher heaps and lower prices than before Covid.
Open air markets are springing up in unlikely places, those already in place are developing rapidly.

One killed, three injured in clash between families

I'm not sure that is correct. So far as I have seen in my 13 years living here, Thais do receive something called, by those who deliver it, "education". It has been delivered to several generations, and perpetuated by those previous generations who have "benefitted" from it.
The recipients of the so called "education" manifestly do have brains, given the skills shown in many diverse, if (to us) unacceptable, directions: scams, shirking, etc.
Nothing to loose: well, that's just brainwashing, Bhuddism, Islam, Christianity, my imaginary friend stuff, all same same world over. It's an innate part of the package!
Bottom line, Those in high places who rule the roost, do not want, and
would beare terrified of the consequences to their wealth and power, if "education" suddenly became EDUCATION.Much as I detest Faecebook and it's ilk, it may well be the undoing of this culture of control by miseducation.
