There ya go again!!!! " trust me, we are Thai"

How did the police establish that all 100 girls were offering sexual services?

Betcha' that number gets whittled down to 5 very quickly and the others will be deemed as a cheer-leader and choral singing group.

The police are incapable of even fathoming what to do with such a bevy of evidence!

.... and what about Junta Jumbo's request for happiness? Isn't there a conflict of interest here?

100 girls ticked off, 100 sets of parents ticked off because of cash flow interruption and of course the little men around the corners who have an investment in the whole operation!

*** can't wait to see how this all washes out

If I can't trust the Thai monks and I can't trust the police, nor the tuk-tuk drivers, nor the junta - then who did the Minister want me to trust when he proclaimed the new tourism slogan "trust me, we are Thai"?

I don't understand why the number of beggars along the Ping River and its's bridges has started to rise.

In fact, they seem to be located in most places that Foreigners tend to hang out and travel.

Isn't it time for the local government to start collecting these people off the streets and sending them into the country?

This is not good for tourism in any which way!

I wish that I was a tourist and contemplating holidaying in Thailand.

Unfortunately, I am tainted! I actually live in Thailand and am driven to leave it because of the void of decency, it's poor quality of service, and the ever increasing threats on our safety.

"Why would I trust you? You just said that you are Thai!"

"Have a nice future!"

"Trust me, we are Thai" - The Public Relations Department (PRD)

"Trust me, we are Thai"

Such a feeble-minded people!

Both those in power and those who don't throw them out!

Other ASEAN countries must spend the afternoons chortling about such a weak minded nation.

Perhaps this will spirit a movement of anti-corruption sympathy and more people will make the corrupt pay dearly.

What a breath of fresh air that would be!

I think that I will follow another country twice daily, 365 days/year.

I spend 6 months in Thailand and 6 back home so this constant barrage of nepotism, cronyism, criminality of religious leaders, avoidance of penalty because of wealth and status is really making me quite ill.

Surely there is a developed world country which flaunts it's weaknesses as much as Thailand does.

I wonder if these latest and seemingly never-ending incidents of inappropriate behaviour by Thai monks will impact on the Frolicking Frock Rock fundraising concert in Chiang Mai this year?

You know the one I mean - 10,000 monks usually show up.

Sound like good candidates for an immigration tip-off.

Don't be ridiculous, if they weren't 'kosher' then I'm sure they wouldn't be so out in the open.

Are you really the type of person that tips off immigration, about something that's none of your business?

Who is this jerk?

An opinionated and pompous one for sure! (don't be ridiculous...)

Who would ever be so presumptive to say (then I'm sure they wouldn't...)

There is a lot of trash in this forum that needs weeding out!

I wonder why there hasn't been an attempt to kidnap this kid?

Send him back to the General and family a piece at a time.

Wonder how the General and family would handle the international press if this happened?

Government urges....

Government gets rude awakening....

Government has started to develop chronic diarrhea...

Junta bullies cash-out asap....

Who didn't predict this?

Why all the hysterics here?

Bad behaving monks deserve what everyone else deserves!

Kick them out - lots of other rapists, drug users, political leaders aka "Thuggy" to take their place.

Come on people - it's just a circus! you thought there was something existential about these people???????????????

Does it really matter?

Out of sight - out of mind!

Next problem please.

Are those who brought about the previous traffic flow changes going to be fired, arrested, shown in public as dolts?

Come on Thailand, show some hair on your naked chest!

It's going to take an awful lot of bullets to straighten this country out!

Not a single reporter in Thailand is going to question the junta leader about this case.

This should be on the front page of every international newspaper!

Another reason I have sold everything in Chiang Mai and heading to somewhere with a modicum of self respect and justice.

Unfortunately, 55555555555555555555555555555555 goes to the lady and her ministry!

The next thing we will read about is how Disney Productions, Lucas Films, MGM and Sony have sent their marketing VP's to Thailand to learn a few new tricks from the above mentioned!

This case, although not forgotten by the public, basically was the first major case that the junta/RTP etc; had to contend with and has been followed by an enormously sized litany of other junta/RTP foul ups.

The common factors in almost every case since Koh Tao has been incompetence, lack of leadership, smells of corruption and xenophobia.

The world stage never forgets such things.

What a terrible future Thailand has under the current administration and it's peons and both groups primary education level critical thinking and problem-solving skill sets!

So predictable, so disappointing, sooooooo dire for Thailand's image on the international stage especially ASEAN.

Do Thai's have to show ID for posting a letter?

Good taunting question!

My knee jerk reaction was "do thais write letters?"

Obviously the junta believes that they do and that letter mailing therefore falls under national security issues.

Sharpened pencils will be next!
