I am not bothered by this because 99.3% of them are happy. End of Story. NEXT TOPIC PLEASE!!

If this verdict is allowed to pass by the UK embassy in Bangkok, their hands will be just as bloody as the real culprits in this crime.

What do you suggest they do?

That is up for them to decide.

It is difficult to comment when you can be arrested for saying something that some people do not want to hear or read. I feel ashamed of this and think that the two have been made scapegoats in the murder of the two Brits.

The OP Title is very telling. "Crackdown needed to change public perception on Corruption".

It implies that the crackdown is not intended to correct corruption - only the public perception of the problem of corruption. So once that perception has been modified, the fun and games continue?

If public perception wasn't an issue - even if there was a lot of corruption going on - would that mean the government would not act?

If the government Knew corruption was taking place but the public knew nothing about it - Nothing would be done? Is this how things are supposed to be done?

Will this foster trust and confidence among the people towards the "Public Servants"? Please note the quotation marks...

Wencome to AEC! Come Thailen, is safe. NO pompem..

Foreign media ‘slave labour report unfair’

EERAPONG PRASERTPOLKRUNG
THE SUNDAY NATION

BANGKOK: THE government has slammed an unnamed foreign news agency for what it described as twisting the facts and causing damage to Thailand for reporting about the use of slave labour in the Kingdom, especially in the fishing industry.

The government has urged all sides to sympathise with it and understand its plight.

The team assigned by the government to tackle the use of forced labour in the fishing industry will explain the facts in relation to the report at a press conference at Government House tomorrow, Government Spokesman Maj-General Sansern Kaewkamnerd said.

The team is overseen by Deputy Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan.

So the government was aware of the AP report released 14 December but is slamming the slave labor report as unfair? So what gives? Am so confused now...

Please everyone. DON'T Laugh or make fun of them. They just might throw you in the slammer as they could perceive it in a way which foreigners will never understand.

What is the point of draftin a constitution, conductin a referendum they know will fail, and then sittin down again for another round of draftin a new constitution? In the mean time, the country is in the doldrums, farmlands a-wastin, fisheries industry a-dryin, investment funds - a-flyin?

Agreed, but then again some personal bank accounts are swellin'

Ya need to get your grammer straighten out. It's a-swellin. Just sayin...

That is called the NATO strategy. No Action - Talk Only strategy.

This is great! Absoluteky nothing mentioned about slaves used to process food exported to other countries. China obviously doesn't care either.

at least they are admitting, albeit tacitly, that slave labor exists in Thailand

Only because they were caught with their pants down. Otherwise, they would have pretended it did not exist. Now I wonder if they would also crackdown on the Long Neck Karen human zoos?

They should also ban possession of these animals.

Wow! Frosty the Snowman is probably in town.

This is another nail to the coffin. If they allow this to happen, expect more land subsidence and flooding.

A lot of people (you know who i am referring to) would fail lifestyle checks if this every was put into effect. Didn't he think about that?

WOW! Even a minute amoung of Sodium will Kill you. Did you know that Sodium Combusts when it comes in contact with Water? How is it even possible to overdose with Sodium? See that attached video below? THAT my young padawan is SODIUM (Na). Not many with Chemistry background in this forum - it seems...

Where is that photo of that dude posing as a protester in front of the train? That photo with another person showing train passengers his IQ with his finger.

Do you know that driving at a lower speed also helps? Doesn't cost as much as applying the paint as well... Yeah, yeah.... Just sayin...

What abomination is this? Any deviation from the True Taste of Thai food will not be acceptable!!!

I guess, they were just confused. Those Damned Red Leaders!!! And I mean no reference to Star Wars.

After the summit, he could always say "He was Joking!"? Like he has in the past when talking to Journos, etc.

It is difficult to respond to this because people who voice their opinion is often asked to come in for re-education. So better leave it up to the Economic Czars to figure this one out.
