    Thai PM assures no interference in justice process

     

    The course of Thai justice is clear...and must be followed in accordance with established procedure:

     

    - A billionaire commits murder.

    - A suitably massive bribe is negotiated and paid.

    - The case is closed.

     

    These standard, time-honored aspects of Thai justice are above reproach and …no interference will be tolerated.

    When this sort of thing happens to me….

     

    I usually throw sound financial management to the wind and divide the 17 (or even 20 or 25) Baht equally among all the staff. That way everyone can enjoy a generous cash bonus in recognition of a job well done. Sure, it's a shocking extravagance...but every once in a while it's good to 'live large'.

     

    It's worth it knowing they will forever remember you as a truly jai dee farang....and you'll never have to worry about getting the wrong light bulb....ever again.

    Thai PM vows justice over dropping of Red Bull heir hit-and-run case

     

    Uh-oh…there’s trouble over at Government House.

    The general is still feeling cheated and disrespected by the skimpy, miserly 300 million the Yoovidhya family gave him. People are laughing at him behind his back...and he’s feeling more insulted by the day.

    This is a clear warning. The General is demanding justice (as in justice for himself)....and justice for the General needs to come in the form of a dozen truckloads of cash.

     

    Then everyone can make nice.

    Navy drone intercepts diesel smuggler off Phuket

     

    The fishing boat was initially suspected to be carrying some 1,400 litres of illegal marine diesel.

     

    However subsequent precise measurements using official, approved, unquestionably accurate, super scientific Naval equipment showed that the fishing boat was, in reality, only carrying 50 litres of illegal marine diesel.

     

    After paying a 500 Baht fine the boat was released…while the somewhat heavier Naval vessel reportedly returned to port.

    While they are at it - why not make it permanent? Also useful to handle the students.

    (I guess they are thinking about it)

     

    That may not be far from what’s planned.

     

    Even if (at some point) they 'officially' stop renewing the Emergency Decree….it’s more than possible that the most repressive aspects of the ‘emergency’ will simply become permanent fixtures of everyday life. Who has the firepower to disagree?

     

    So....some twist of ‘Martial Law Lite’ may be with us for a very…very long time. After all, what sort of illegitimate authoritarian state would want to let a good emergency go to waste?
