Selling fake government documents is an occupation exclusively reserved for government officials, such as the ones employed by the immigration border stations and Phuket land office.

You just had to answer "This site". Google and Google News showed nothing. Having a bad day, are you? Only able to make churlish comments?

The fact that two forum users quickly located the source and you didn't even make an effort speaks for itself.

Source?

You can use the search function on this forum.  You're not a baby or an invalid . . . I hope.  In case you can't, the TV community has posted the original article for you above.

So I assume that the real purpose of Tillerson's and Lavrov's visits had nothing to do with Thailand and everything to do with the Rosneft deal and drilling for oil in the Arctic Circle.  

It's a well-protected AOT scam.  Yes, there's a 100ml/mg limit for liquids and containers in carry-on luggage.  However, the security staff fences all the confiscated sundries and this has previously been exposed, with absolutely no discipline imposed against the exposed security staff.

illegally issuing building permits 

Funny how amidst all these legal proceedings, we never hear of any investigation into the officials at the Phuket Land Office for corruption as to the issuance of building permits and deeds which obviously were the result of the passing of brown envelopes.

Pol Gen Panya said his office’s work in the matter is complete

No, your office's work is not complete until you investigate position-buying throughout the RTP, including how much you have paid for your own hire and promotion within the department.

Far more foreigners relocate to Thailand and marry Thai women than Thai women move abroad with their foreign husbands.  The reciprocal course curriculum would be much more stimulating and relevant and could focus on the ethical and moral acceptance of deception, scams and adultery.

Circumventing sanctions to push through the sale of Rosneft so that Arctic oil drilling can begin is a complex issue.

Gerald Ford Mike Pence won't have to wait until 2020.

And, as usual, the 28 years of brown envelopes that were passed to the various land officials from 1988 to 2016 in order to approve this illegal structure will never be the subject of an investigation.  The Phuket Land Office continues to be the most corrupt provincial government office in Thailand.  Deeds and approvals obtained from that office are basically worthless as they can always be legally challenged at a later date with all the risk put on the buyer with no criminal liability ever being suggested against the corrupt government officials.  Caveat Emptor!

Phuket Land official Mr Amnuay Pinsuwan, however, confirmed, “This land plot number 113311 (one rai) is legal and was approved in 2016 by a requested document proposed in 1988.”

Tillerson is only paying lip-service as it is obvious the fight against ISIS has shifted to SEA.  Tillerson has one purpose, and one purpose only in the Trump administration, to push through the Rosneft oil deal so that Putin and Trump can squirrel away illegal oil profits into offshore accounts.  His job has been made more difficult because the newly -enacted Russian sanctions will make it harder to do business with Russian companies for oil drilling in the Arctic circle.

Trump is done.  The GOP is bailing on him as he seems to have gone off the script, even for him.  The ban on military service for trans-genders was the best distraction he could come up with for the news that will come out tomorrow.  Stay tuned.

Ban on transgenders in military and Scaramucci's obscene rant were distraction from Bill Browder's Senate Judiciary Committee testimony on Russian infiltration.

In the end, if you think that Yingluck had any defense, other than to cry, you are delusional.

If they exist not sure how it would ever benefit Putin to ever let them flow forth. More power in holding them against trump.

Russia has repeatedly warned the United States it will retaliate against what it sees as hostile moves and Ryabkov made clear Moscow was growing tired of showing restraint.

Congressional investigations, such as this, are a waste of time.  Purely a PR stunt.  All of the meeting attendees called in front of Congress are going to take the 5th.  The real investigation is being done by the FBI and will be properly brought before a Grand Jury by DOJ prosecutors.  It will be interesting to see which attendees flip and against whom they will testify.

Embassy's do not and will not pay for tourists to be sent home or pay for her stay here. 

That's not quite correct.  Some embassies (US and UK) will provide a loan for repatriation if the foreigner is in danger and requires a flight out for safety reasons, if the foreigner is unable to raise funds for repatriation through their friends and family.  I'm not sure the Russian embassy would provide this service, but agree that she should be provided assistance to get to the Russian embassy to see if there is anything they can do.

In the States, several Burger King and Taco Bell stores have obtained liquor licenses and are serving alcohol.  This shows the pettiness of the Thai "netizen" community.  Maybe Thai society would be better if Prayuth had his way and was able to shut down Facebook.

The fact that he had a non-B visa and was legally in Thailand wasn't in dispute.  I believe he previously said he had a non-B from teaching when he got in trouble for the scorpion vs. cat video.  The real issue will be whether MOL starts an investigation as to whether his you-tubing constitutes working without a proper work permit.  His work permit only allows him to teach at a specific school, not engage in work on youtube at various locations.  This goes to the heart of the matter, because if there is no investigation by MOL, it demonstrates that the MOL has no desire to prosecute digital nomads who perform all their "work" on a computer through use of the internet.

Absolutely zero intelligence and investigation.

150 officers to search 13 areas in Bangkok

If they used this manpower to actually investigate crimes, they might engage in something called "police work."  Using a ridiculous amount of police to randomly search the city in the early morning produces nothing and demonstrates the incompetence of their leadership or perhaps hints at locations from which there was a shortage of brown envelopes.

That condo building should be demolished anyway as it's almost 50 years old.

Way overdue. There drug, prostitution and various other street businesses are out on the open. Not one of these people standing on lower Sukhumvit have a legitimate reason to be there. If they are not curtailed the problem will continue to grow.


Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect

RTP had absolutely zero intelligence which would suggest these people were involved in "trans-national crime".  There were no arrests, or investigation, of crimes related to prostitution or drug dealing.  They harassed a group of blacks, based completely on their skin color, found a few overstayers and one came back with a positive urine sample.  I could have done a better job on my own rounding up the African drug dealers who hang out in front of the 7-11 on Sukhumvit near Soi 13.  Total fail.

More nonsense from Reuters which seems to be covering up for Trump.  The Russian scheme involved obtaining email addresses from voter registration roles which were sent from a server in Trump Tower to Alfa Bank in Russia.  http://www.france24.com/en/20170310-fbi-probes-odd-link-hookups-trump-tower-server-russia-alfa-bank

Fake news about Hillary Clinton was broadcast by Russian and Eastern European webhosts via email to the electorate in various key states with the intent to tip the electoral vote in those states.  Reuters took no steps to determine from legal experts whether emails are considered electioneering communications under the statute.  Instead, they sidestep the key issue by focusing on social media posts.  While the emails usually link to the social media posts, its the emails that are the communications which would come under the statute, and not the social media posts themselves.

More terrible journalism.  If the article doesn't mention Trump son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is at the heart of the Qatar mess, it is just a cover-up piece.  Qatar's banks refused Kushner a $500 million business loan for his speculative real estate development project.  Sanctions against Qatar soon followed.  If they wanted to truly put a crimp in financing of terrorism, they would go after Saudi Arabia.  That's the real story.  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jared-kushner-qatar-loan-trump-saudi-arabia-hard-line-a7834536.html
