Absolute rubbish.
How did the shenanigans on the streets of BKK pre coup have any effect on an SME?
It is all about how much money the consumer has in the pocket.
More like the last government withholding 120 Billion baht from farmers slowed down local economies in rural Thailand. That's about it.
But goes to show just how fragile the Thai economy is doesn't it.
Imagine what will happen when the Chinese economic bubble bursts and the US economy tanks at the same time Thailand is entering the AEC. Next year is promising to be a very interesting year in economics.

The Japanese have had enough of Thailand, it's floods, corruption, lack of law and order, laziness, and unregulated businesses. Have you ever seen Japanese outside the Emporium area, Thonglor 55 or the factories outside central Bangkok in chauffeured cars and their country clubs? japanese never go around walking in Thailand except around Soi 55 and 24 clubs. They don't consider Thailand safe and very high risk. The Japanese are running from Thailand. They have had enough.
I suppose the news of the two Japs murdered by the black widow and her henchman didn't exactly help relations.

Toyota seem to be in the middle of moving totally out of Thailand.
Maybe this is why they released the news about Ford still being interested in LOS for its SEA production to sweeten the bitter news.
More like there will be plenty of ready built auto manufacturing plants for them to move into. But then again wouldn't they be questioning why the Japs are dumping Thailand?
Truth is, the Japs now don't have to build here to avoid the disgustingly high excise tariffs on motor vehicles once the AEC kicks in. They can move to more efficient SEA countries with cheaper salaries and better workforces. Then export to Thailand.
Thailand is going to be the big loser come the AEC.

Yet another astounding display of human rights abuse from the Thai authorities.
Keep it up guys. UN sanctions are on the way next year and you are so dumb you don't realize it.
Why the hell would anyone claim to be Thai?.... This is the typical Thai self image of superiority. They don't even realise almost all those migrant workers are proud to be what they are as a nationality.... Claiming themselves to be Thai is definitely going to scare the tourists off, because most probably already know not to trust a Thai.

There doesn't seem to be a day go by without some form of disgraceful or incongruous behavior in the eyes of the world being reported to being committed by Thai authorities or organizations or even individuals (especially with money).
Let's see what we have today in the news section at the time of typing.
BANGKOK: -- PRIME MINISTER PRAYUT Chan-o-cha yesterday warned the newly-established Thailand Reform Institute (TRI) against staging political activities that might be deemed illegal and give rise to more national conflict..... Rubbish and dictatorial.
BANGKOK: -- Police officers failed to show up before the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) yesterday to answer questions related to the alleged torture of two Myanmar suspects, who are charged with murdering two Britons on Koh Tao last month....... Zero regard for human rights or their watchdogs.
BANGKOK: -- Dr Sompop Saensiri, the owner of a Bangkok cosmetic clinic, yesterday put off an appointment to testify to police about the death of a 24-year-old British woman under general anaesthesia during cosmetic surgery at his Lat Phrao clinic last week...... unlicensed and illegal, how many others?... he will walk free, he has money.
Curfew for migrant workers on islands in Koh Phangan may be imposed to prevent crimes.
BANGKOK: -- This was what the governor of Surat Thani province disclosed Monday after banning beach parties on three islands, with the exception of Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan...... They still want to show the world it is always foreigners.... they have no entitlement to rights.... Thai are always innocent.How the hell does Thailand think the world see this sort of stuff? They think the whole world loves them so much they will always be given a bye? Thailand can forget being given any consideration for premium statuses by the UN, they will be lucky to escape trade sanctions next year let alone be applauded.

Man this is so obviously an admission of guilt and the x-rays were always going to come back with nothing. They are not exactly stupid enough to leave broken bones or cigarette burns are they, there are may methods of torture that leave no traces but are brutal, and one is mental torture, another is suffocation and I will bet my house the police know every technique in the book.
They are however, very stupid to hide behind this lame excuse of the investigation being in the hands of the prosecutors which now must make them completely shielded from torture accusations. They are completely different things. But i a way I am glad they took the stupidity route on this issue, because they just succeeded in making themselves look not only imbeciles, but as guilty as sin also.
I hope the USA are watching.

It's all a bit dictatorial don't you think?
I personally think it is a good idea as long s it is 100% politically neutral and not something being set up by a certain individual with a political agenda.
It is a minor form of checks and balances or a reform policy debating society.
I think as a PM he is showing he is not as strong as people make out, a bit of a political pussy cat if you ask me, that he can get so intimidated by something so benign.

never refuse to accept any passenger, and always use the meter. Hahahaha never will happen, need a number to immediately report violations and have license of driver revoked, that will work.
That won't deter anyone, the taxi driver will find a way to get hold of another in someone else's name somehow.
What would work though is a 'three strikes and you're out' rule on a three tier basis. and I am not talking about the driver, I am talking about the car.
Irrespective of who owns the car or who is driving it at the time.
Tier 1
Each infringement goes against the car number in the database. As soon as it receives three strikes, the car is seized without argument and impounded. The registered owner must pay 10% of the value of the car for its return. The car then becomes a tier two.
Tier 2
Same as above, it gets allowed three strikes in tier two and after the third strike the car is impounded again and the owner is hit for 30% the value of the car to get it back.
Tier 3
As above but the car is crushed without argument.
You have a dedicated team of say 15 officers in plain clothes with hidden recording equipment who just go around hailing taxis and reporting all those who break the rules. The fines cover those costs with plenty to spare I would say.
Pretty vicious system, but they will fall into line, because we all know the taxi drivers don't give a damn about the police, but the owner of the car?.... I guarantee they will be very afraid of the geezers who own the taxis.
Job sorted.

Drugs and prisons have always gone hand in hand. The UK doesn't do that much about them because they know it keeps a lid in the places.
I recall many years ago when there was a drug drought in Oxfordshire, there were cases of actually smuggling drugs 'out' of prison to feed the demand on the street.

If it gets anywhere in Thailand the country is toast.
There will be an initial cover up to protect tourism revenue, then they will realise their mistake when they realise it is going to get out of their control if not made public.
Tourism will end overnight.

Nothing so sure, Thai mantra is money!
Don't fall off your high horse!!
If you were seriously ill, and 300k baht could save your life, can you honestly tell me that you would not consider this option??
Disgraceful comment.
Just because he is against organ harvesting and exploitation of the poor and needy doesn't put him on his 'high horse'.
If you agree with this disgusting practice of exploitation just to save your own ass, and rant off at someone with moral decency, is actually putting YOU on the 'high horse' here.
You have to understand that not everyone is as unscrupulous and selfish as you. Some actually prefer to wait for a legal and more natural replacement.
If you ever need it done, I hope your body rejects the kidney. Because in my view, you don't sound like someone worth saving.

If you or I run a business that losses money we go bankrupt , why should banks be any different, if they cant make money with all the advantages they get they should shut their doors,
Because it will affect many depositors who have their savings in those banks, or investors who have shares, or pension fund managers who have people's pension investments in such banks. Or the people who the banks employ who will lose their jobs.
It should be up to the sovereign nation's government where the bank is registered and paying taxes to, to have the say in whether the bank is made insolvent or not.
These are clearly small banks who were hit the hardest during the last banking crisis. The small banks were ignored while the big banks were allowed to be bailed out by western tax payers. The small banks were left to struggle through it. So of course they are taking longer to recover.
It is the big banks bailed out so they can continue to pay their executives who made all the mistakes in the first place, six figure bonuses.
I have had a business that struggled through the last crisis. It started losing money but it recovered eventually. It wasn't forced into bankruptcy. That would have only happened if I could no longer manage the company debts.
These banks failed a stress test, they are not struggling to pay creditors, so they should not be forced into bankruptcy. If they get in the crap and struggle to pay their creditors, it is up to their respective governments what should happen.... Not the EU superstate overlords who are made up of pure cronyism unelected stuffed shirts....... And run by Germany.

The banks now have nine months to shore up their finances or risk being shut down.
Once again the EU running rampant.

Its Comical. All the conspiracies and talk of corruption...
Facts are, not a lot of corruption has been found since the Military Coup,.
Certainly nothing that the NAACP couldn't have dealt with as most of the "Investigations" were already underway.
The Coup was for control of Power.. Yes, believe it or not, these Coups don't happen to "Save the nation" on average every
7 years, they occur for the benefit of the Elite/Dems & Military. They all benefit by using the disguise of "Reform".
How many reforms can a group lead and still not "Get it right"? Jeesh.
As long as people see if for what it is. This is not about reform. This is about power for the Elite & Military.
I would say plenty has been found. None has been addressed.
Whether it will be addressed is yet to be seen.
But there has been a trillion baht mishandled, that happens to be twice the value of the UK's 310 tonne gold reserve. If that just gets shrugged off, then Thailand is a lost cause and headed into a total meltdown in the near future when China's bubble bursts.
That is guaranteed no matter who takes over the running of the country.
Greed and corruption are just too entrenched in the Thai phsyche. A bit like a child who knows it is wrong to steal from the cookie jar, but they just can not stop themselves...... Because it is a child.

Wrong. The DNA results in and of themselves prove sex not rape or murder.
If there is a DNA match at all, why do you think it would not be conclusive?I have this suspicion that the DNA matches are less than conclusive. And that's being charitable.
I assume there are 2 and they are conclusive.
So why no prosecution?
In any other country, conclusive DNA evidence is all that is required.
Edit to answer your edit. You need to work on those critical thinking skills and look into DNA evidence limitations particularly regarding legal issues.
Hahahahaha.
You are now totally floundering.
DNA in this case does not prove rape or murder?
Can others in this thread comment on this just to make sure I am right to be laughing my head off now/

What is the first thing a trial lawyer learns?
Never ask a question you don't know how the client will answer. Corollary is never announce a test you don't know the results of.
Your logic fails
BTW
You claimed a fact. You said the RTP blocked the DNA samples. Support the claim.
Now you are really embarrassing yourself.
end of conversation. (to save you further embarrassment).
LOL
Sorry I popped your illogic bubble!!
Whatever.
We will just let the other readers in the thread make up their minds on that one.

Interpol has no jurisdiction. The Burmese men's lawyers could get samples though.You're missing their purpose entirely & have outlined something that falls within the remit of the Burmese authorities & Interplod.
So why havn't they and why have the UK authorities not requested they ask for them to be sent to the UK?
Because they are being blocked by the RTP. That's why.
International standards my a***!
LOL
Yet another conspiracy theory! Yeay!!
We don't know what the defense attorneys have done but we can be sure they have not been blocked by the RTP.
No.
There is a vast difference between logic and conspiracy.
Logical = Lawyers request DNA samples of their clients.
Illogical = Lawyers don't request DNA samples from their clients.
Logical = UK police request lawyers obtain DNA samples from their clients.
illogical = UK police are not interested in requesting lawyers obtain DNA samples of their clients.
Fact = Lawyers have not been reported to have yet requested DNA samples from the clients.
Logical = RTP refusing allow anyone to take DNA samples as it will destroy their fake DNA results.
illogical = RTP allow lawyers to take DNA samples and allow it to destroy their own fake DNA evidence.
No conspiracy there, just basing my opinions on what is logical and illogical.
Rusty...
Flawed on so many levels. The major one being lawyers meet with their clients alone.
To think that they would announce they had taken samples before they had results to disprove the RTP claim is insane. If the results do not disprove the RTP claim they would never mention running Independent tests. That is also why they would not involve the UK cops.
You think the UK cops would be there if they knew via background DNA tests that the RTP were completely correct?
Flawed indeed.
The fact you said 'lawyers meet with their clients alone' I don't recall saying that and anyway whether they do or do not, can you please send us a link telling the public that lawyer visits are with or without the police presence. That would help.
If you can't find that link, then you shouldn't really be posting it as a fact.
Please do prit things and then call them 'my' flaws.
Huh? Let me understand this. You can claim anything with no evidence that it is true (or even logic) but can demand links from me?
LOL
I think the UK cops are there to slow the boil politically in the UK.
So why would the defense announce they had taken samples before they could know the results would not put a needle in their clients' arm?
( I will look for the link as it was reported on TVF)
I base my thoughts on logic, and I can't exactly supply a link to 'logic'. It is thee who is coming out with things that are based on supposed information on the investigation.

You say 'we can be sure they have not been blocked by the RTP.' Please, will it be too much to ask you to please tell everyone here exactly WHY we can 'be sure'. You must have some very tangible evidence for us all to 'be sure'. Or re you just basing your opinion on the fact that we all know that the RTP have a glowing history of competence and non-corruption that is the envy of the entire policing world.
Thought the coroner could request the samples not the UK police or Lawyers?
The UK coroner has no standing to initiate any requests.
See the information JLCrab's posted regarding the limitations of what the UK can do. All from gov't sources.
He didn't even say anything about UK coroner.... he said 'coroner'.
There you go again twisting people's words.

Phuket teen confesses to bashing American man on beach
in Phuket News
Posted
Well let's just hope that the US embassy have learned from the KT case and makes sure there is a US lawyer and proper translator present before the police can question him about anything. Because it is his right.
Then they can at least record his reaction when the police question him about the drugs supposedly found in his possession.
When I started reading this report, I was actually waiting for the pro-Thai and anti-farang spin, and we got it in the last line.
Typical Thailand, as always full of cover ups and crap from police acting on orders from as high up as you can think.
But I suppose it all adds up to eventually destroy a tourist industry they don't deserve.
