Was he supposed to declare war? Both the Defence Minister and the Foreign Minister have been to Th and made representations. Anything further would be viewed as meddling in THs affairs.

Marisa Payne is the Foreign Minister who recently visited Thailand, Payne up until a few months ago was the Defense Minister.

It was only Payne who visited Thailand recently. I think it unlikely the Defense Minister would get involved in this issue.

I would like to know what is going on behind the scene in Thailand, what is their motive for detaining him?

What can be gained by locking him up, what are they waiting for?

I'm not buying into the mumbo jumbo spouted by Chatchom Akapin about waiting to see if there is a case for the extradition surely that would have been known from the get go. Also he could have been released prior to receiving the extradition request.

They made a mess of the case involving the young Saudi woman, and in spite of stating they would be more balanced in their approach in future.

To state he obvious, these are being produced on an industrial scale. 

Have a look at some satellite photos locate the factories, enter the coords and launch the missiles.

Does he really care about policies?  Him and his cronies seem a little light on policy.

Bolt cutters, perhaps?

Hmm, not a photo, not a vinyl flow chart, not an early morning press conference and not a BJ Hakpal to be seen.?

Conspicuous by its absence the immigration cops and the matter being overseen by the criminal court. Is someone above Mr Publicity looking for a big payday?

It's actually standard procedure to not talk about an ongoing investigation in most of the world

 

 

"in most of the world."

Here is a little different, they fall over themselves to blab about cases, photos of the accused totally perverting the course of justice. Guilty until the right payments are made.

It's a different world, the meaning of justice quite different to the rest of the world.

So they started down the track of legal Marijuana for medical use. 

Why? Because somewhere people and corporations are making a packet selling it.

Do they know anything else about it?

Passed the bill through Parliament at breakneck speed, now what?

Lean on the government to gain the rights to a monopoly.

Don't worry about this FTA stuff that has been ongoing for years according to the story. If you want to look clever, this is not helping. 

Just get more Chinese tourists in.

Easy money. 

Fantastic news for fishermen.

Will it happen?

Some one lost their life on one of these in this area recently, dangerous machines in inexperienced hands.

Cracking picture!  I assume the 4th police officer was even larger!

 

Three's a good number in this case.

Yes, he couldn't fit in the frame.????

Unreal isn't it they were falling over themselves to deport a young Saudi woman back to her hellhole country, instantly nabbed an Aussie footballer who still languishes in Immigration detention.

But hey, assault no worries a small fine will do.

In nsw Australia the fine for not wearing a helmet is$337 and if your passenger is not wearing one the rider gets fined double,so everyone wears one,here the fines should be tripled but the biggest problem is the cops that just sit and watch.

I would like to think most Aussie motorcyclists wear a helmet to protect themselves, not to just avoid a fine.

However it is startling how many western people abandon their safety culture when riding in Thailand.

In a recent visit to Phuket I was surprised to see Tourists or maybe Expats out with the family on the scooter. Mum holding a baby and a toddler standing in the middle all with no helmet. 

The whole foreign family on a scooter is new to me.

Can see no reason for Thailand's continued detention of Araibi

And just exactly where do you think electricity comes from?  Grown in organic fields?  The majority of electricity is created by fossil fuels.  Oil, and natural gas.  A lesser amount by nuclear and a minuscule amount by wind, solar, and hydro electric.  And you think that battery production is clean.  Lithium used in electric cars is a rare element and there is much pollution to its mining, more for its disposal and recycling.  Andy finally one minor point.  Average income in BKK is about $25,000 baht per month. A Nissan Leaf starts at $2 million baht.  Are you loaning these people the money?    

Your points may have some truth but are not entirely relevant to the pollution in Bangkok, the bulk amount coming from vehicle exhaust, as in most large cities.

Solutions applied in other cities was to limit vehicle traffic and increase the amount of more modern less polluting vehicles.

As for affordability, those who have cars today will have cars tomorrow regardless of the type of engine.

The point you make on electric car manufacture is a reflection on our rampant consumerism, if we are to mass produce it will come at a cost to the environment.

"Police are now trying to determine the cause of the fire."

Well, you could check the wiring in this building or every other building, that might be a clue.

On a more cynical note you might want to check your accounts, was the shop fully paid up?
