I wonder where the guilty verdict is going to lead next? I would say the natural direction is to charge her for criminal negligence. Seeing as the Finance Ministry has revealed that between 700 and 800 Billion is lost and will take 30 years to repay.
That is around 12,000 baht for every man woman and child in Thailand.
Or 53,000 for every person that voted her into power.
Or 180,000 for every rice farming household.
That's what her and her cronies have done to Thailand.
She deserves all she gets, she was warned by multiple sources including the likes of the IMF and World Bank and she just poo poo'd then away. I hope she rots in prison for a long time, and not just her.... Everyone involved. Going on the run as an international fugitive, never being able to return here will serve as a good second best result.
Has she come back yet?

Typical reaction of the unintelligent in positions of power...... Just throw money at the problem and hope it goes away.
Well it won't go away.
The best thing to do is sack these idiots making up the remedies and replace them with someone who has a smattering of an education.

How come the charge was 'malfeasance'?
This is nothing other than basic fraud..... Nothing at all to do with malfeasance which is failure to carry out your duty in a way that affects the function of your position.
Do these people have any brains at all?

Bizarre!!

Who cares what her excuse is. It isn't even a good excuse. Maybe she should have said something more like 'need money for my dying mother's radio treatment'. But blaming it on Pattaya's ailing tourism...... what?..... lol

The UK would not have fallen apart. Scotland would have fallen apart.
What the hell would a Thai know about the 6th largest economy in the world and the fastest growing in the EU by a country mile????
Brit haters, don't bother trying to educate me. This was all about politics and votes and nothing to do with the economy.

Did that 350 Bn funding ever make its way back to the central fund?.... If not, where is it?
Has Yingluck returned to Thailand yet?

When the amnesty bill was 'PUSHED' through in the most undemocratic way imaginable. That was the last straw indeed. For it amounted (in my opinion) to treason.
One of the most important spokes in the wheels of democracy is 'rule of law'. The amnesty bill was an attempt to remove 'rule of law' in 25,000 criminal cases.
An attempt to remove 'rule of law' is an affront to both king and country. All those who backed it should have literally been clapped in irons as a warning to those who may want to follow in their footsteps.
All this for one man.

Weng is my grandfather's double, spitting image, the only difference is my grandfather is Chinese and not Thai.
Most of the influential Thais in top positions are of Chinese decent anyway. Such is the grip on power the Chinese have over this country.

This is actually an accurate timescale of events.
Farnags were all saying this (with exception to red supporters) over a year ago.
It takes a Thai a year to come to the same conclusion.
That's about par for the course.
It's about time farangs were allowed into Thai politics as a 'best men for the job' policy. Thailand might eventually start to move forwards.

National Police Commissioner Somyot Poompanmoung yesterday said he had invited medical teams from the Police General Hospital's Institute of Forensic Medicine, Chulalongkorn Hospital, Siriraj Hospital and Ramathibodi Hospital to conduct the DNA tests on Warot so as to boost public confidence in the police handling of the case.
Let's really make them confident in his innocence and allow the UK to also help you by doing their own test with 'their' samples.
No wait.......

That photo is proposturous, I mean really??? we need a go pro attached to that swab now so we can follow the procedure all the way through to the end!!
The only thing missing from this picture is a graphic in the bottom right saying.

DNA test will clear my son: headman
Oh yes I am sure it will. But it won't mean he is 'not guilty' will it?
By the way... He was cleared a month ago when the cash went under the table.

There won't be a single arrest for criticism of this case against the police. The public knows there is no smoke without fire. The police have posted more disinformation on this subject than any other body. So I expect quite a few police including Somyot himself to be serving a bit of prison time.
All I want to know is 'how much'?

Matched, matched, matched...If it's such a slam dunk case why has the prosecutor sent the docket back three times? Oh wait, I asked you this yesterday...."Pol Gen Somyot, however, made clear that the DNA test on the son would have no impact on the police case file which has been finished with all circumstantial and forensic evidence submitted to the prosecutor for indictment of the two Myanmar suspects."
What? Not even if it's a match?
It cannot be a match when it has already been matched to the suspects in custody. It is an impossibility he could also match unless he is an identical twin of one of the Burmese in custody for the crimes.
It would be like looking outside for you car when you already confirmed it was in the garage. Of course this is being done to try to help the silly and ignorant claims by conspiracy theorist but to do so one needs to do stupid things like perform a test for which the answer is already answered before realizing the conspiracy nuts will never stop and just get more outlandish and silly in their theories.
Because it would be torn to pieces in minutes by the defence. Or in seconds if TJT was the prosecutor.

No freedom of speech in LOS???
More human rights infringements.
If they did their jobs properly in the first place and weren't constantly filmed taking bribes from motorists, or jailing their police chiefs for corruption and drug dealing etc.... Then maybe the police would get a little more respect.
This case has so many inconsistencies in it that in a proper civilised country the outcry would be no different.
Criticism is what keeps people on their toes. It is not illegal and if you want to arrest me for this statement, then go ahead, because I would do everything in my power to make my arrest part of the Koh Tao cover up system. I will make sure it reaches far and wide.
I am a fully trained internet marketer. I can get stuff around.

Phuket road rage shooter ‘will be caught soon’ – police
Nattha Thepbamrung
Rescue workers take Mr Chaliao's body away after the shooting.
PHUKET: Police believe it will not be long before they catch the man who shot dead motorbike taxi driver Chaliao Piyapanikul at around 9:30 am today (October 30).
Phuket Police Commander Maj Gen Patchara Boonprasit told the press this afternoon that the case was still being treated as one of road rage.
“Witnesses told us that the victim use to be a boxer and was quite hot-tempered. They said that whenever he got into an argument he would start a fight.
“We don’t think the two men had met before. Witnesses said Mr Chaliao honked his horn continuously at the shooter, which may have raised the temperature,” he explained.
“They started shouting at each other until they stopped at the red light. Mr Chaliao said he was going to ‘get’ the other man.
“Witnesses said the other man warned Mr Chaliao many times that if he got off his bike he would be shot, but apparently he did not listen. After he got off the bike, he was shot around four times before the shooter left the scene.
“I believe it will not be hard to find the gunman; Phuket police will definitely arrest him very soon,” he added.
Phuket Town Police superintendent Sermphan Sirikong told The Phuket News that police have the license plate number of bike the shooter was riding but were not sure if the plates were fake or if the rider was also the owner of the bike.

Stop posting crap.

The dog and pony show continues.
I could write about 20 individual opportunities where this can be faked, and I don't care what anyone says..... EVERYONE can be bought and the switch WILL be made and the result will come up as 'negative'.
I won't believe any of it till the UK police actually take the sample from him and a British cop personally accompany the sample all the way back to London... Than and only then will I accept it as a true and honest test.

Oh get off it! This happens in every country.
What?.... EVERY country??
At the same rate it happens here?>???
This is almost daily in LOS, most don't get reported because they are not caught on CCTV.
Thailand is proportionately a very UNSAFE place.
I was chased for 20 minutes through villages etc just for honking my horn at a pickup who almost broadsided me, my wife was panicking because she said they will have a gun or they wouldn't chase me.
In 25 years of driving in the UK I have NEVER had an altercation with anyone. Come to Thailand and in 6 months had that crap. Now i don't use my horn at all..... It can get you killed here.
Classic example of Thai road manners.
Bad video. No way it was road rage though. Stop posting crap.
Of course it wasn't road rage was it? It was his birthday and they were giving him the bumps.
Actually he accidentally clipped a motorcyclist and that was the result. Mob violence. Not road rage at all is it???
Man you are the one who is posting crap.

The No 415 Nakhon Ratchasima-Nong Khai train with four passenger bogies was heading for Nong Khai when the driver, Phet Pandee, saw the truck was crossing the rail line at the uncontrolled railway crossing.
He blew the horn and put the brake but still the train could not stop at once and rammed into the middle of the truck.Amazing they can seem to get a full statement from a dead driver.
That aside. I will give it 6 months before we see the first high speed train derailment or crossing crash with the dead in the hundreds. I hope China knows the truth about Thailand's train accident record. Or even more importantly, the attitude of Thai truck drivers.

Maybe apartheid was bad but ending it was the worst thing that ever happened to black Africans and, indeed the rest of the world ,( Minnesota has over 50,000
black, naturally unemployed, Somalians keeping police/emergency dept. very busy and the states welfare budget crippled ).
You do realise that apartheid was in South Africa which is only one of 47 countries on the African continent, don't you?
That is 53 million people out of a total continental African population of 1.1 billion. That's about 4% of Africa under apartheid rule.
It was not the worst things that happened to black Africans; colonisation was. You're right that the ANC has not been as successful as hoped in South Africa but that's only one small country in a huge continent.
So... the ending of Apartheid in South Africa was the worst thing that has ever happened in the world? You honestly believe that? It is what you wrote. I do not believe that anyone has an inherent right to restrict the movement of people in their own country simply because of their race. I like to think that the majority of people have the same view. Except the State of Israel, obviously.
Since you mentioned Minnesota I presume you're American. Do you have world geography and history lessons in US High Schools?
London has Somalis working hard to support their families.
All the best.
I believe he was referring to the black population of RSA not continental Africa.
I was working in Southern Africa including Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia and RSA at the end of apartheid. I can confirm he is right.
Once the ANC was voted in, there was a massive exodus of whites from RSA. Unemployment rocketed. Crime rose faster than ebola with 90 murders a day in the country (50 a day in Jo'berg alone). The Rand collapsed from 4.5 Rand to the GBP to 12 Rand to the GBP in the first 6 months (17.5 today).
Poverty rose at an alarming rate. Corruption was everywhere with most of it coming from the ANC. RSA started to resemble Kenya in most respects. Mandella was anything but a hero. All he did was make himself filthy rich.
I was there.

And the ninth most dangerous for men using private transport.
If we are going to have a topic like this we may as well add an equally daft twist to the it.
You forgot to mention, how can we expect the PM to change it after only 5 months in office after the "intervention"!!
Nothing will be changed. Just going through the same old cycle of nothingness.
Rotating the trough.
Politicians, military, politicians, military, politicians, military. and so it goes on and on and on.
Human rights abuses won't be reformed, corruption won't be reformed, judicial equality won't be reformed, public transport harassment won't be reformed, Thainess won't be reformed.
TAT won't stop producing stupid worthless tactics, and Thais won't stop thinking their country is going to be the hub of absolutely everything in the world.

They are trying to stem the panic. According to many experts it is still on the rise.
I don't believe a thing that comes from the CDC or the WHO.
For a start reporting the number of deaths as pretty much the same 4 days ago just goes to show they are not accurate figures. You don't go from about 100 a day dying to hardly any deaths in 4 days. Not when infections are still rising. Unless they are trying to tell us that all of a sudden the mortality rate has dropped from 71% to almost nothing overnight.
If infections are rising, then deaths will rise in line with it.

Not that easy.
That could start a very large war and if I know Israel the way I do, it could end up in nuclear exchange if all their Muslim neighbours attacked them simultaneously.
