I notice Koh Tao didn't rate a mention?

I was on a Thai Airways flight yesterday. On the screen was a promotion of Thai islands there were images of the islands one by one happy beautiful sun drenched people frolicking on the beaches a minute or two on each Isle, however when that infamous name Koh Tao appeared it showed a beach the island and then the show quickly moved on, the very brief view of Koh Tao was noticeable, wonder Why? 

No laws, OK, kill away no problem.

Will that mean that Phuket will enforce the rule of law or viceversa, this Aussie city will be the wild wild west?

The gold coast has a certain demographic that likes to live beyond the rules, so they make a lovely couple.

 Off the topic of human trafficking, it appears that the Thai fisherman are in no way responding to the demands of the EU and may well be unaware of these demands.

Apart from the talk, what has the government achieved or even attempted to achieve.

He's not in jail and never will be.

I had visions of a watch general in his speedos from the headline for some reason now can't get rid of it? 

Seek help immediately, or start drinking heavily.

The slimy tentacles of the Koh Tao crime lords reach out again coil around and strangle opinion and truth.

Either the stories are not getting out into the mainstream, or kids as kids do, don't believe it can happen to them.

Don't go there!

>>>budget of B508 million to roll out the ‘Phuket Marine Safety Plan’.

 

Sounds like a fantastic earner.  Amazing how the whole of the island can't get any money for proper lifeguards to take care of it's most valuable asset, yet 17 million USD can be thrown around for a "safety plan". 

 The money is always available including budgets for Lifeguards, however it rarely gets spent on the intended project it gets pocketed by the officials who make the request, only a small percentage of the original amount is spent on the project.

I suspect the reason for the death of the snakes is more of a deterrent to go in the water than the snakes themselves.

Pollution?

Give it a rest about "saving face" , not everything evolves around "saving face ",(hardly anything does actually) , many people put alot of effort into saving the boys , people worked tirelessly under extreme dangerous conditions and the King is just showing his appreciations .

  Its just the Western mentality of trying to find someone to blame  , every situation they need to blame someone , its usually "I blame the Government ".

    Now they are in Thailand , their mentality is now about "blame" and "face" .

Open your minds a bit , theres a whole lot more things going on, rather than blame and face

Please enlighten us as to what there is more than blame and face.

A boat sinks, first reaction blame the chinese.

A woman reports an assault on a southern Island, response denial and victim blaming.

A high profile Cop travels the country pointing the finger at foreigners for Thailand's crime problem.

The PM blames the media or reporting the truth causing face problem for him.

It goes on and on.

So, if the goods being sold were coming from China why the need to set up an illegal base in Thailand, it's all online commerce.

7,000 sounds like a free for all,for freeloaders.

It wont surprise me if the male dinosaurs have looked into this and already proposed to therefore stop going after rapists. Because yeah, it will be hard to get a clear statement from an emotional woman to start with, so why even try?

 

Besides, the hands of females are too small, so they can barely hold all the bribes that a cop needs to handle on a daily basis. That makes them unsuitable for this job.

The cops on Kho Tao dont have this problem, no rapes there and anyone who says there is will be arrested.

Don't know why you reach that conclusion.

 

We can not leave from Chalong pier before the passenger manifest has been approved by the navy.

I reach that conclusion based on the story that states "very little progress has been made in enforcing the new ’Phuket Marine Safety Plan"

As you have first hand experience on this perhaps you can help us out, the Navy is enforcing the new rules, clearly a positive move. 

So what exactly is this story referring to if the Governor is ordering his people to do what the Navy appears to be doing.
 

Who in fact has the responsibility to enforce these new rules?

As we expected no progress, talk, talk no action.

His nick name says it all. 

Go for the high ranking officials who are no doubt in on the cash flow to Big Joke.

BJ, BJ!....crickets.

Any of the international crew attending?

This is a story of Big Joke without a photo op, there is something wrong here!

This calls to mind an old television game show where the contestants were given ‘x’ amount of time to run through a supermarket throwing things into a shopping cart. When time ran out the contestant to ring up the highest dollar value of merchandise won. The only objective being to amass maximum loads of swag as quickly as possible, and to get it done before time ran out. The original contestants didn't have glow-in-the-dark uniforms, but aside from this, the similarity here is uncanny.

 

 

Running a country that reminds me of the show,  "It's a Knockout "
