Whatever caused this decision to close mining in Thailand, it will very likely have a profound effect on the future foreign investment here.

If a simple stroke of a pen can close an industry that has been operating for years....employing hundreds locals and adding significantly to national and local coffers, then the same can happen to almost any industry.

The thought of this being a decision favouring Thai business people, certainly comes to mind as mentioned by Bangkokfrog above.

Thai beaches are digusting and must be the dirtiest in the world. There is no way I would ever go back to a Thai beach.

I was thinking about selling Pavlova in the local markets....not because I need the money but to hear how many ways Thai's can say Pavlova!

I hear they are constructing a copy of the Sydney Opera House and the harbour bridge in Chiangmai and it is expected to draw millions of international tourists from around the world.

Americans.

Veagan? How on earth can they eat that bland dry disgusting tasty rubbish they call food. An old phone book is more nourishing

This is where Prayuth should be stepping up to the plate. He seems more concerned about deck chairs than his abandoned children.

He told her to innovate

PM urges Thais to innovate

None of the relatives of those he killed came to the ceremony even tho they were invited.

I don't blame them, this piece of excrement kills family members and invites them to come rejoice in his day so he can smile and bare his naked butt in their face and hide out in a temple. So bloody rude and insensitive to rub salt into their wounds.

If they have egged them on then they are participating and just as responsible, guilty as those that wielded the swords.

Absolutely nothing will affect tourism. Period!

This is where Prayuth should be stepping up to the plate. He seems more concerned about deck chairs than his abandoned children.

Right, so thais can observe voting in other countries but Prayuth says others are not allowed to observe voting in Thailand.

They really believe in this rubbish, idiots. If it worked don't you think firefighter across the planet would be using this technology especially in places like Australia that burns every year oh and let's not forget Canada at the moment.

No mention of a possible death sentence for the Thai 'gang members' ?

So says the Junta as they have also said the international community supported the coup and loves and supports Prayuth. The Junta just loves speaking for and making comments on behalf of others because as prayuth also said they don't understand Thainess. Let's actually hear what the international community have to say.

Well the saints proved that they are not to be taken lightly. The definately can run out a game and if the opposition relaxes for a moment they are going to get wacked hard. Eagles must be at their best this week. I almost got the upset in the tipping. What's with wood just standing there holding the ball, watching the clock on the score board for 30 seconds waiting for the siren to go. Probably wouldn't have effected the outcome but sides can move the ball from one to the other in less than 30 seconds.

Apart from staging coups, what purpose does the Thai military serve? The appear to be a band of Rebels who answer to no one not even their country or government.

Being arrested, denied bail, and marched in front of a military court, not for writing a post on facebook, not even for liking a post on facebook, but for having one sent to you, as is happening to the mother of Ja New, the student activist, could be construed as a pretty fundemental breach of human rights.

And now "apparently " if you like or share the the story that she replied "ja" to the offending message that was sent to her, you might possibly be arrested also. Because she joined in the conversation more than that. So,the hundreds of people that have commented on that article are all now at risk of being arrested, including her lawyer. Curiouser and curiouser.I feel like

Alice in wonderland.

This is why the junta is still not welcome in Australia. This whole gaggle of evil morons who seized the country for their personal gain are the ones tarnishing Thailand's image and has the whole world laughing at them. There are absolutely no human rights in Thailand. The only ones with rights is the military junta. Prayuth said he has the right to shot reporters who don't support the junta and write glorifying articles about him.

Why isn't the charge,Murder,? Murder, using a two ton weapon whilst under the influence of narcotics and/or alcohol.I know we are not in the USA,but i believe that the statute of limitations for murder,never runs out.Is that the same here?Also,absconding,the country with intent to avoid capture.Also trying to pervert the course of justice,and conspiring with person or person's unknown, to delay the justice system.However,the biggest accusation should be.Looking like an ugly, punk kid with big ears and wearing a stupid hat.Just to look at him,with that,"i'll be out by Tea time" semi grin makes me want to stamp on his face.I hate his sort.

But, we know nothing's gonna happen,nothing will be done.This is all a show,all a circus for the media and the Thai public,just to instill them with a false sense of security.he will vanish again.New name,new passport,and carry on his life,laughing with his friends,going where he wants,chatting up the girls,using the "Red bull gives you wings line" telling all his 'hiso' mates how he beat the justice system.Untill one day,another official will 'wonder' why he wasn't prosecuted,and the old man will have to,once again ,send out his brown envelopes to the authorities here,the authorities in what ever country he is in,And the HiSo family that are looking after him.

Ahhh, the criminal ballet goes forever on.
