By now the evidence could be up in smoke.

Yes, it's tantamount to prostituting the daughter for $upport of the family.

It's not out of the realm of possibility that his criminal record could be expunged or he be given special dispensation allowing him to hold political office. Same for his sister, Yingluck.

Fixed that for you.

Without the video it would have been the grandmother's word against her employer, the powerful, pious abbot. She needed the tapes to make the case against the abbot and get justice for the mother and child. The RTP lived down to it's reputation.

Extortion or just the passing of brown envelopes? Extortion makes the payers victims instead of willing participants in systematic corruption.

What is the alternative to protests? Either rebellion or the status quo. IMO

What is the Korean's relationship with the massage shop?

Maybe Ann said to her boyfriend, "That's not my father." and the boyfriend felt he was protecting her from a kidnapping or harm. A shame he brought a knife to a gunfight.

So instead of a presidential inauguration it should be a coronation? Trump should keep his mouth shut if he wants to win over undecided voters.

After viewing part of the video of the victim and her teen murderers, those young savages should be put away for a very long time to protect everyone.

"the former prime minister is suffering from numerous illnesses." The issue isn't about the "numerous illnesses", but to what degree Thaksin's "suffering" is that it necessitates 6+ months of hospitalization. The proposed home-stay detention would render this question moot. So he's gotten the red carpet treatment, when is the parade?

No local followup on the authorities removing the hazard, what ever it was? Maybe an influencer looking for influencees?

There have been warnings to boaters since last week about the high winds. Ignore at your own peril.

Why would workers be under something like that while it is being moved?

I was trained to check for: 1. Correct patient. 2. Correct time. 3. Correct medication. 4. Correct amount. 5. Correct route of administration. The hospital staff involved in making the medication error should be disciplined or discharged. I hope the child recovers.

I'm not saying it but TAT has repeatedly stated that news of boating fatalities, mall shootings and kidnappings in which fatalities were Chinese contributed to the decreasing number of Chinese tourists to Thailand. The Bangkok Post routinely used to post the nationality of tourist victims but recently has ceased doing so. The reason appears obvious, but maybe not to you.

It makes a difference to potential foreign tourists, as in Chinese.

Apparently it matters to potential tourists.

Domestic or foreign tourists? It's usually stated in these type of stories. Hmmmm.

This a day after it was announced Chinese police would patrol Thai streets with Thai police.

Comedy Gold.

One would expect a former Minister of Public Health to have a real doctor of public of health degree.

As per standard practice, a photo of the victims receiving a basket of fruit and everything is fine again.

This is exactly how its done in California. Most California physicians recognize marijuana's medicinal value and will give a prescription to a patient. The patient then gets a card allowing them to buy and possess marijuana. Because marijuana is still a controlled substance, dispensaries have to be licensed and their number and locations are controlled by state and local governments. There is not a proliferation of weed dispensaries and those that exist are low profile, as befitting a pharmacy/chemist.
