Where's the legalise it tv posse preaching the war on drugs is losing.at the rate of arrests last month it works out at 150,000 a year.10 years down the road and its a quarter of the Thai population.apart from the weed these are evil and destructive drugs and should never be legal.anyway good job chaps and I hope every gram gets thrown on the fire.

I also hope it is all destroyed but in a country ruled by corruption, I just can't see it happening.

More reforms to put in the too hard basket.

Double post.

Disappointed they didn't get their 100,000 paying the registration fee or other negotiations.

Head of Mission (Australia) means the Ambassador of Australia to Thailand so the Deputy Head must be the guy under him.

OK, I get it now.????

Paul Stephens is an Australian diplomat, he has nothing to do with the NGO Mission Australia who, as far as I know, do not operate outside of Australia. Mr Stephens is one step below the ambassador, so the Australian government are showing they are serious about this case.

 

Hakeem Araibi the person who is subject of this controversy has received refugee status in Australia and will have paperwork to back this up, which given the Aust Government's attitudes to refugees is quite something. That the Thai immigration are preparing to send him back the country he fled, given their inability to even catch Mr Red Bull on one of his regular trips home is somewhat farcical.

Hmm, so why was mission Australia mentioned? 

 

So very sad. What we are leaving for the next generation.

A polluted planet and Kieth Richards.

Mission Australia is a Christian charity support org like the Salvation army it is not the  as described the Australian Authorities. They have grave concerns for this chappie, understandable as if left to Thai or Australian decision makers he's screwed.

Good luck to her and could have easily done a Kirsty MacColl.   

I just read about the Kirsty MacColl incident, it has a lot in common with incidents involving the wealthy in Thailand.

As with all those who conive and manipulate the legitimate methods of being elected, they tend to get a little paranoid.

Standby for a cash or two to be found in the usual places.

Good luck to him, hope it doesn't end with a jealous husband and a gun.

Another corrupt group being hounded, not for their I'll doing  but for their political standing.

Because there is just nothing else worth investing in but this one junta pet project. 

What is the the EEC exactly? Land available to you to build a factory on, is it anything else? 

A special team to give what's going on the green light and have them pay for the priveledge.

You are still thinking like a Westerner. i.e. thinking analytically and weighing probabilities.

 

The "crime" is whatever the mayor and his lawyer says it is. This is because the police, prosecutor and courts will go along with it at the right price. This is because the mayor has far higher status, far better connections and far greater wealth.

 

In order to understand what has gone on, you need to set aside your Western connotations of what a justice system is and how it operates. If you cannot do that, you will remain perplexed.

Nonsense, This is the simple and universal difference between right and wrong. 

I like it, the filthy rich hiso's who profit from the Chinese on the package tours that exclude the general Thai tourist industry are squirming.

Reminds me to a former government member urging the Thais to produce "quality babies". Didn't work that well I suppose...

Yeah,  didn't work for other countries either, very few of them grew up to be quality tourists.

The order is out and so it shall be ????
