With some notable exceptions, Thai police are generally poorly educated and not very bright but their careers start with paying bribes to pass the police entrance exams. Those who get promoted to regional commands continue this trend but must also be aggressive and hungry with proven track records of passing enough money up the pyramids. They have to pay for plum jobs, followed by monthly fixed retainers. Jobs in tourist resorts are especially lucrative and command a premium. It is said that the Pattaya police chief job is worth B20 million a month in gross income before payment of the fixed retainer, so you can imagine how much the upfront premium might be for that job. Koh Tao and Koh Phangnan, which supervises Koh Tao, are not in the league of Pattaya, Phuket and Samui but they must also be lucrative posts. In addition to the daily crime busting work seen by the public police have responsibility to supervise a number of important businesses in partnership with local mafias, including protection rackets, illegal aliens, taxi scams smuggling of licquor, tobacco and oil, drug distribution, illegal lotteries and other forms of gambling, forest reserve encroachment, distribution of illegal cut wood etc etc.
Can you wonder that they are cosy with local mafias and resent being forced to do regular police work along with the intrusion of social media in their perfect little world?

Battling inequality means making all people equal under the law - not allowing the police to frame innocent people to protect mafia, wealthy businessmen, rogue cops and corrupt politicians.
Get cracking right now and don't make any more fatuous public statements until you have finished.

So this was the group that got scalded with boiling water now drafted in after more torture to replace Maung Maung.

It won't be long before the Burmese lawyer is arrested for working as a lawyer, which is a protected profession, and working without a WP, in spite of the 5,000 illegal immigrant workers the police collect money from every month in Koh Tao.

Koh Tao Suspects' Alleged Recantation 'Normal,' Police Officer Says
But the confessions were one of the 5 key points that the police chief said made him confident of the suspects' guilt. One of the others was the police eye witness who was also tortured and has now also recanted.
That leaves you with: the phone which police seem to have forgotten was reported found intact before it was found smashed up; the CCTV footage which has had 40 minutes deleted from it; and the DNA testing which the two suspects passed the first time they were tested before their second tests came back positive in only 24 hours which is impossible. Good luck with that one.

What will RTP do now?
Murder them in prison. Avoids the embarrassment of a trial they might lose. They can leave it like that implying the suspects were guilty, leaving the real killer/ rapists at large to strike again.

Never mind Thailand has a cure for Ebola for humans and for dogs. Sad about the dog executed in Spain for suspected Ebola. The Thai antidote could have saved him.

Bribes now start at B10,050.

Bad hair day?

Will that coincide with Thailand's hosting of the Tour de France?

A very confusing account of what exactly is proposed for this important law and what the pharmacists are objecting to.

It's obvious that they have to do this because the tax take is far too low. This is a very substantial increase in tax revenue that can be collected immediately without any additional cost. Inheritance tax and land tax are just playing around at the edges to create an impression of fairness.
I am puzzled as to why it won't affect the poor who spend all they earn and therefore pay VAT on their entire incomes. Wealthy and middle class people get to save some of their earnings and don't pay VAT on it until they spend it. They also get to spend some of their income abroad and don't pay Thai VAT on that, although they might have to pay foreign VAT or sales tax. Another complete nonsense statement from a Thai government official.

Also please clean up corrupt police and mafia gangs who are allowed to murder people without penalty before talking about attracting foreign investment.

"...because they show signs of stress," said Chanin Liangsuwan, chief of Koh Samui District Prison. "They may be feeling guilty for the crime they have done."
I would imagine being jailed for something they DID NOT do would cause as much or more stress. What a thing to say as if they are trying to sell all of this to everyone.
So the chief screw is now the judge and executioner. This two are suspects who were tortured into confessing and have now retracted their confessions. Since they are innocent until proved guilty in court, how dare this piece of excrement say they may be feeling guilty for the crime they have committed.

So this dirtbag has received his orders and is preparing the public for the news.

At last......
What I have been wanting to read for a week now...
This is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back for sure.
Wonder what Mark Kent's next comment will be?
It seems that the 'exemplary professionalism' quote came from the RPT spokesman after the meeting with Somyod. Kent's only comment was much more guarded and diplomatic and he did offer the use of British DNA testing services at that meeting.

I will never visit that island(nor any other island) .
Just out of protest,hope many thousands feel the same .
5000 illegal immigrants and a dodgy police force on Koh Tao ,
i think the other islands are same same .Stay away,not safe.
Visited Koh Tao and Koh Phangnan recently. You get a nasty feeling arriving on both as soon as you see the horrible characters lurking around the pier to fleece tourists and find the taxis (rusty pick-up trucks) are all controlled by the mafia and charge at least B1,000 for a 5 minute taxi ride. If you have ordered the hotel car to pick you up, it will wait for another couple of ferries until it is full, forcing you to take the mafia taxis. Service in many hotels and restaurants is often very poor because it is provided by untrained illegal immigrants who are obviously poorly paid, treated like shit and can't speak a work of Thai. Better call them slave islands than paradise islands. Such a pity given the natural beauty of the islands. Stay away and spend your money elsewhere.

Keyboard justice warriors are getting old and still hampering the investigation. Your speculation and guesses are having a negative impact on the case. You only need to have seen the Police follow the rumours round the island, to understand the harm you are doing. THE MAJORITY OF YOU DON'T EVEN *@!%ING LIVE HERE or are not related to the victim. You are in no position to pass comment or assess the situation. Stop trying to get 5 minutes of fame and seem cool off something so tragic, please let them rest in peace, god knows they deserve it.
I have lived here for a few years and seen all the good this place has to offer. The people here are amazing, kind, helpful and understanding. I regularly leave expensive items unattended for a few minutes at a time, to no ill effect. Crime here is at an all time low, not just for Thailand but also for the UK where I come from. We the people who make it what it is pride ourselves on just how safe it is here. Like for like my local town makes Koh Tao look like heaven, gangs of youths, muggings of old ladies and drug addicts everywhere.
We are angered at the introduction of extra police and camera's. This we believe is going to create more crime and antisocial behaviour. When you give crime a front seat, the effects are potentially an endorsement.
Sure the island has it's own way of doing things, everywhere does. That does not mean it is the wrong way, otherwise we may as well start preaching ourself as American or Victorian British label them savages and destroy them. GROW UP. The media is purposely and wrongly converting 'village chiefs' to mafia heads, to buy extra readers. It is despicable to take someone of good standing and trash their name just because you heard rumours. You wonder why they closed ranks? You forced them into it. Like a lot of you say the as Thai did with the burmese, you have done the same with them.
Now lets clear up some myths you all have.
DNA - Hannah's body has already been in the UK for some time now. Upon arrival to the UK she will have undergone an immediate post-mortem examination to verify the Thai evidence. In the UK or forensic science is at such a level that tampering would become noticed straight away. They will then also take their own samples for comparison. They will know if they find more than 2 different types of DNA, which would be expected in a cover up.
Physical mismatch - David was a big lad and as the official version goes was locked in a fight to the death to defend himself and a vulnerable person. Anyone who has grown up in the UK is used to trouble at night. The 2 people who got the better of him were of no physical comparison. He could have merely held one in each hand to stop the attack.
Investigation - Our conclusion was that the police used the wrong methods to investigate this crime. The island has a huge sense of community, this was never levied by the Police. They came in like bull in a china shop charging about, 'owning' the island. This is what caused the ranks to close.
Interception of WeChat. The chinese wechat provider is set up to allow law enforcement direct access to the logs. Why haven't these been requested.. Any Thai person who has shown me anything to do with the case has mainly been using Wechat to discuss it. It can filter by keyword so direct viewing of messages isn't needed.
I wish people would think before they pass comment, and affect a serious investigation.
I call for ThaiVisa to moderate this better, whether they understand it or not they are clearly having a negative effect on the investigation by wasting police time with useless leads and rumours. RTP when you read this please understand the culture of the foreigner to pass comments on things they have no personal involvement with or do not understand.
Why is it OK for you to speculate, just because you are a temporary foreign resident there, and not OK for others to do the same? People are still speculating because the crime is still unsolved and the rapists and murderers are still at large.
You can continue to leave your very expensive items unattended for a few seconds at a time and that's wonderful but, if you leave your teenage daughter unattended, you might come back and find her raped and hacked to death.

Forget about this silly Koh Tao revival when the real rapists and murderers of Hannah and David are still at large and the mafia (both uniformed and plain clothes versions) are still controlling the island in a vice like grip.
Arrest and convict the murderers and the mafia scum first.

She and the others who were indicted by the NACC should all be impeached. Otherwise they get off the hook. The problem is that Visanu failed to draft that provision into the interim constitution because he thought it was too complicated for him.

Yes, and the protectionist lobby is going full tilt at the at the government and the NLA pushing them to tighten up the Foreign Business Act again, just like they tried to do under the last military government.
Better for foreigners to wait and see what the landscape looks like once the government has stepped down and whether this recovery actually happens.

There is witnessed evidence to support they were at the crime scene ... so then how come it seems that the two have no inkling as to who might have done it?
They might know but are too afraid to say anything.
Who do they work for? Who tells them what to do?
The two suspects work for AC two bar, belonging to the Tuvichiens - notice that has barley been mentioned if at all in the Lamestream media
The formerly star police witness works there too.

The idea is that we will never find out once they have been murdered in prison and the case has been abandoned unsolved.
