Didn't the army have the build contract at one point? I remember a debate at the time about how ethical using conscript labour was.

Why call them journalists when in fact they were contract employees?

The concept there seems to be that police officers can fight crime while also committing their own crimes.

Thailand police departments and the military pay peanuts. Without corruption both would fall apart like a house of cards. If you are a member of either service you were expected to play the game. Otherwise there would be no advancement for you. I see Big Joke as no different than say Sonny Corleone. Being part of either of their respective organizations comes with the assumption that they are dirty.

Well next door here in the Great White North, Canada, we had a third deaths per cap than the USA. As for the Trump vs Biden debate it seems to be a choice between bad or worse. $$$ will likely be the deciding factor like most things in that unequitable country. It is grouped with Thailand by the Economist Group as a "Flawed Democracy" for good reason. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index

Apples did not fall far from the tree in that family. I remember when he first became mayor. He was hyped as a real boy wonder. Those days are long gone for him.

Gunshot to the head while hands tied behind back.

Don't do drugs

How about your country? Does it allow 180 day visas for people from south and central America??? If so why the border walls and armed patrols?

Do you have any clue how a parliamentary democracy works? The Prime Minister position was not on the ballot. No party received a majority of the vote. The plurality winner was given the opportunity to form a minority government. It did not succeed so it went to the second largest vote getter who were successful in forming a minority government. A lot of foreigners don't seem to understand that Thailand has a majority conservative population. I wish that wasn't the case but it is.

Outside my few years living in Thailand I have pretty much lived cashless the last 35+ years. Everything paid for by credit union debit card. I was at a sold-out football stadium last nite here in the Great White North and all its concessions are payment by card only. Completely cashless. The yaba dealers will have to scramble to get a piece of the action this way

First thing to come to mind was what took so long.

Stick a fork in the Dem Party, hopefully it is done

Is there a new one? Last one checked out awhile ago

Comes home to a hero's welcome!

He showed and received a hero's welcome home. Word is the Uncles just crossed into Burma for permanent exile

Wheels down

Do you think his old friend would do that to him? More likely just in your dreams or rather nite-mares

Word is that Khun Thaksin will be getting a Pardon on Arrival

There is only one person a deal could be with and that person is in a much higher pay grade than anyone in the Thai military present or past.

Clearly Biden and Trump are both criminals. Lies upon lies by each of them. Zero chance these foreign companies did business with Hunter unless they absolutely knew his old man was good with it. Trump stole secret government documents, was convicted of rape, lead an insurrection and attempted to intimidate governmental officials in a state to change election results. For the sake of that country let's hope they are both incarcerated by the time of the next election. How supporters of either of these men can continue that support in light of what has gone on is truly mind-boggling.

Inexcusable that Willy was not there for the final. Harry should've shown up to upstage him.

Me! I am a proud leftist in Canada. The sentence is fine as long as Trump gets the same for Jan 6

Lock Her Up!!!

Prem has now long passed. Lay all blame on him then move on.
