There were no dead or wounded found near the drugs, but it’s believed the seven bodies discovered in the pond the next day were those of people wounded in the shoot-out, who then fled across the Ruak River, only to succumb to their injuries in the pond.

 

Seems unlikely that 7 injured people would all flee the scene and all succumb to their injuries at the same time in the same place! But hey I am not a detective, so what do I know!

I applaud the action of these students, who recognise that there is no democracy in Thailand only rhetoric and repression by the military! They will have carefully considered both sides of the argument and made their decisions based on what they can see and feel.  This is in complete contrast to the PM and his regime who can only see through one eye, which appears to be blind!  In most countries, young people are seen as the future and their ideas cherished. Someone once said that students throughout the ages are there to challenge establishments.  That is how science and arts and politics have progressed throughout generations. Go for it students, stand up for your beliefs and you will ultimately succeed!

Do children and staff not breathe the polluted air when they are at home, probably out playing? Stop the causes of pollution not prevent children from learning about it!

But 11 seats held by the banned executives, including Thanathorn, will remain vacant until the next election. That represents a net gain for Prayuth's ruling coalition.

Why? Didn't they hold a bi-election after a Khon Kaen MP was banned because he was imprisoned for murder? So there will now be 11 constituencies left without an MP! What a complete shambles. Clearly we still live under a military dictatorship and democracy is still a long way off. What happened to all those ruling party MPs who owned media shares. Have their cases been heard yet?

The welfare firearms project for Army personnel.

That must be something of an oxymoron! How can firearms assist in anybody's welfare! They are instruments of death not welfare!!!!!

"Deserted" my ar*e!!!! Look at any definition of the word "deserted" and you will see something like:-adjective
abandoned; forsaken:
untenanted: without inhabitants:
unfrequented; lonely:
I think that the pictures are confusing "deserted" with "overcrowded". Obviously wrongly filed ????

If you believe that price for genuine M16 then you must believe in fairies my 9mm Glock was more expensive and it was bought through a Thai family after I was given the catalogue and price lists.

Anyone who owns a gun is asking for trouble! I hope that someone will be knocking on your door very soon, as Foreigners can no longer own guns of any description! If you want my advice go and hand it over to the police immediately.

Pinocchio was originally written as a cautionary tale and apparently, he ended up getting his just deserts! "In the original tale, Collodi describes him as a "rascal," "imp," "scapegrace," "disgrace," "ragamuffin," and "confirmed rogue," with even his father, carpenter Geppetto, referring to him as a "wretched boy." 

If the cap fits............. 

Surely it will take more than 4 days to complete all the forensics involved in such a large area! Not to mention cleaning up after the forensics have been collected!

Surely no problem if they all wear face masks personally handed to them by Anutin!
