I can't help it, but somehow I find the word choice of "lure" in this headline rather unfortunate. It makes me feel very uneasy and suspicious. Isn't that exactly the same term a conman would use when describing how he hooks his victims?
Yes I have commented on this word in past stories, sounds sleazy.

We live in the age of taking offence and being outraged over trivial issues, promoted by the media and spread through the internet.

I don't hear any outrage over the use of flags from the UK, USA, Australia and other countries on all sports of fashion accessories including shoes and flip flops.

He's a Thai internet super star.the best qualification for rising through the ranks.he wants to watch what he's doing as he's stepping on too many of his fellow mens toes and taking away a monopoly of corruption in immigratio that has supported there families for generations.i say be very careful because big joke can turn into a big flop.
Don't worry the fact he is celebrated says he is looking after the right people. He would not get to where he is without them.

"His "One World One Team" vision emphasized teamwork and cooperation not just within Thailand but internationally, said Thai Rath."
I remember one team member who may have had a little too much of the spotlight an attractive female assistant, is she still around? Certainly not appearing in the photo ops.

His handling of the alleged rape on Koh Tao shows all I need to see. Setting out to kill a potential victim's credibility to paint an untrue picture of KT's credibility while pushing for arresting Thais who shared a news story is pretty abhorrent.
He is a lackey of Prawit, says it all really
Yes, and on top of that the vagaries on whether a rep from the RTP went to the UK or not, his seven days to provide a statement of their findings is up.

While it is the responsibility of the immigration division to regulate the flow of non-Thais in and out of Thailand and set reasonable guidelines for those who stay, the sheer number of news stories and their tone suggests another motive.
The daily (literally) barrage of stories about how "Foreigners" are taking Thai jobs, causing crime, insulting Thai culture, disrespecting Thai people, etc etc etc is straight out of the playbook of a far-right, authoritarian regime. The Junta's message, how they are the only ones that can 'protect' Thais from the evil foreigners, is the message that they want to campaign on, but as they depend on tourism they can't say it out loud. So, we hear the daily drumbeat of how Thais are under 'attack' (subtly) and that the military, represented by Prayut, will 'protect' the Thai people. Text book case...
It is sad; the reason I fell in love with Thailand many years ago was the welcoming attitude of the Thai people and the joyous focus on having fun. Nowadays, it seems like those beautiful aspects of Thai culture are being attacked a replaced with something much darker.
This 'debate' over immigration and the endless media attention ordered by the Junta is aimed at creating the 'us vs. them' mentality; the Junta hopes to ride this to some kind of electoral mandate.
Sad as hell to watch...
Sadly the politics of division is practised all around the world now as it appeals to those with a narrow view of things.
Is it likely to make the Junta more popular, I have doubts on that.

Why, they claimed everything was hunky dory just last week.
Of course we new the reality of the situation.

You would think after all that time immigration at swampy would have sussed it out the first time a phony tried coming in or going out, or immigration in general would have realized something was amiss when they tried to get a re-entry permit. Something is missing in this story.
What's missing is who and how much they were taking from this guy to allow him to get away with this.

Come on Thailand you can do better, a marine disaster a punch at the airport a crash involving Chinese tourists. I expect to see stories involving the equivalent of half the Thai GDP being returned to tourists after being left in taxis, busses, restaurants, airport lounges etc.
Get BJ and his camera crew out there immediately.
You Tourism image is at stake here.

Koh Tao rape claim dismissed by Thai police, citing lack of evidence and no DNA
in Koh Samui News
Posted
Did the RTP go to the UK did they talk to her, I can't find any news on this.
So she has been discredited, and this is no doubt very distressing to her and her family.
A rapist walks free maybe, and Thailand's and Koh Tao reputation is intact. Hmm some reputation.
As usual none of this has anything to do with justice, it is all about face.
