where is his mobile ? where was the thai gf ?

Why don't you give the officer in charge of the incident a call and ask him? I'm sure he'd appreciate your unbiased assistance.

"he had died at least two hours before his body was discovered"

But his friend found him unconscious in the pool. That does not imply a dead person. Maybe the police should wait for an autopsy before drawing conclusions. But I guess that would delay closing the case.

What it does suggest is that he was not conscious.

Perhaps his friend who discovered him in the pool, pulled him out and attempted CPR was not medically well informed enough to diagnose death?

Perhaps you should wait for more information before drawing unwarranted conclusions about the police.

Drunk, drowned, case closed. On to more lucrative pursuits for the involved officers.

Drunk? Where did you get that from?

And I am "most likely" the most hansum man in Thailand as I get told it every bar I pass.

So you are suggesting that this story is false despite there being a photo and medical evidence?

Foreigner - they dont care if murder, suicide, natural death or what ever ... they just dont care ... !!!

As exemplified by what?

God, you post some bogwash.

What has happened to this particular operation? Closed down or a small on the spot fine and allowed to continue?

Reading the full report would answer your own question and eliminate your irrelevant speculation.

This place has operated as an amusement arcade for close on 10 years that I can remember. The games are not that different from the ones up stairs in Central about 50 metres away.

The difference is that the games in Central do not give customers the option to gamble for money.

"Prayut must be judged by Thais, not outsiders"

So have an election then and see how he gets on??

He won't "get on" at all. At election time he won't be standing, candidates from political parties will be up for election.

Are you sure ? What's to stop him forming his own party and standing ?

Nothing stopping him doing that, obviously, but I'm pretty certain he won't. Have you any reason to suggest he will? We'll have to wait and see if I'm right, won't we?

How many large foreign companies operate within the borders of Thailand? One can say hundreds if not thousands. How many foreign companies buy commodities exported by Thailand? Again hundred if not thousands. So Mr. P. OUTSIDERS have every right to judge you because without their investments and spending Thailand is nothing.

"So Mr. P. OUTSIDERS have every right to judge you..."

Of course they have that right but Prayut didn't say anything to the contrary, it was an editorial by The Nation, not a report of anything he said.

What a bloody rag this newspaper is, well how about getting off your high hypocritical horse and do some soul searching as to why you, as a representative of Thailand, can't come up with anyone better to run your country other than a self-above-all-others telecoms billionaire or the bumbling anachronism that is your current, er 'leader'

What are you talking about? The Nation is a million miles away from being a representative of Thailand but, as you said, it's just a rag.

"Prayut must be judged by Thais, not outsiders"

So have an election then and see how he gets on??

And the winner of election would be,...... Guess who.......

Well it wouldn't be Prayut if that's what you're suggesting, he won't be standing.

So why bother addressing the UN then? Is it just a junta junket?

It wasn't Prayut writing the OP, that was a Nation editorial, an opinion of the writer. As far as this editorial is concerned Prayut wasn't saying anything about being judged.

The UN is not my father ......? where have we heard that one before ? yea ok ok i know, but but.... Thaksin. Ill get my coat

"where have we heard that one before ? yea ok ok i know, but but.... Thaksin."

The author of the report said exactly that, that it was a Thasksin quote, Prayut wasn't being quoted.

"Prayut must be judged by Thais, not outsiders"

So have an election then and see how he gets on??

He won't "get on" at all. At election time he won't be standing, candidates from political parties will be up for election.

can you imagine the day a single gateway system fails?

no banks, ATMs, hotels, flights, communications, stock market, currency markets, social media.

the huge economic lost to Thailand if only for one day?

50 baht to a US dollar here we come.

If the internet goes down why would there no banks, hotels, flights, communications, stock or currency markets? All those can operate without the internet in the main. I don't agree with the proposal but you're over-dramatising it.

How many arrest warrants for unidentified people can you issue ? In his 30s with short hair and can speak Thai

Why do you ask that question? It appears they know who they're interested in, don't spit your dummy just because they haven't let you in on it...

"Arrest warrants are yet to be issued by court for 10 more bombing suspects in addition to 16 others for whom such warrants had been issued, the police said.

The names and nationalities of those suspects cannot be divulged to the public for fear of more or less spoiling the unfinished investigation."

So they all just stayed around and waited until the highly skilled RTP caught up with them.

Then he confessed without torture.

You got it, sunshine.

It's not an acronym, it's an abbreviation and if it's typed correctly, i.e. et al. (the full stop may be omitted), you won't have a problem with it.

You cannot be denied for "whatever reason". Only reasons listed in section 12 of the immigration act or ministerial regulation. A passport doesn't guarantee entry but as long as the person has a valid visa, or qualifies for visa exempt entry, and cannot be excluded under section 12 or regulation, they cannot be denied entry. If they are then the IO is acting without authority and the person being denied has the right to appeal.

Heres a link to the immigration act. Read section 12. If you find anywhere in that act giving an IO authority to make up law then please let me know.

Immigration Act

Obviously IOs cannot "make up law" but they are the ones, "as competent officials", who decide who gets permission to stay in Thailand, as stated in the Act you link to.

"Section 34 :

Entry into the Kingdom is at the immigration official's discretion....which negates your last statement..regardless of the "legality"

Discrestion only within the law. The law doesn't allow them to deny entry based on x previous entries. People being denied are being denied for suspicion of working, not the number of entries.

Thailands own regulations allow for multiple visa exempt entries. The abuse of this privilege by illegal workers is the reason why immigration are targeting visa exempt entries for extra scrutiny. It's not because of reasoning like yours.

Please provide a link to the "law" you are quoting from a government website...or are you making this up as you go along????

No problem.

Here is the link to the regulation change made in 2008 that cancelled the 90 day stay limit in any 180 days and introduced the 15 day limit when entering by a land border. The 15 day rule was later lifted for G7 countries. If you read the order dated November 2008 it confirms the "granted multiple entries".

You do have a small problem though, here's the first part of that order that you conveniently ignored...

"3. Any holder of a passport or a substitute passport whose nationality falls under the category for which the Minister permits a temporary stay for tourism purposes,"

The OP is obviously not a tourist, he has a wife here.

Apologies are superficial, unless they are supported by the permanent termination, from ALL future law enforcement employment, of the police officer(s) who committed the crime. Period!

Perhaps that will happen but it can't happen before the government's investigation to determine, first of all, where the incident took place and the circumstances under which the shooting occurred.

Spoken like a true diplomat : BS ...

Nothing about compensation to the victims families - this would first issue if it was other way around for sure ....

Spoken like most of your posts so far, BS.

Compensation would have to come only after the results of the investigation which is currently underway are known. At this stage the location of the boat is disputed.

Payment directions will be on the ticket, get someone to read it for you but the nearest police station is the obvious place.

Where falang there Thais there ways are there ways

Remember they do not like to deal with us anyway

The only time they do is if there getting cash so I would not be concerned

Duuh, does your brain hurt?

...why are you even announcing it in a public forum then....

................................Why are you even asking that question, does anyone know who he is and what his address is?......................
