  1. Opening a pandora’s box with this investigation. All i can say is the entire RTP better have clean hands with no discrepancies between their salary and perceived wealth. Cant see him going quietly without taking much of the force with him
  2. Thats going to go down well with Putin, he has been losing 1000 soldiers a day in recent weeks attacking Adivka, he will need to start drafting again after the elections so males of fighting age will have to flee
  3. Just stop waisting taxpayers prosecuting cases which will go nowhere, nothing sticks to teflon
  4. Intrigued about his illness, so sick that had to stay in hospital instead of returning to prison and the day he is given parole he is miraculously all better and able to leave
  5. Why would it alter thai politics? He has been running the country from his hospital bed since they came into power
  6. Few bad elements can quickly give a country a bad name, however Asean now seems to only publish incidents relating to foreigners in trouble, if it was to actually watch and report incidents happening among local residents on the thai news channels then they would cause a drastic drop in foreign visitors and likely come under pressure from the government. Best to cause divisions among the foreigners than to report the whole news
  7. The allure of high salaries (compared to Thailand) what they don’t factor in is the high cost of living expenses and the taxes each month that they will be subject to, heard it many times before “ my son is going to London and will be working at Dunkin’ Donuts and will be earning 80,000 baht a month” can see there heart sink when i tell them about London rents and uk tax and national insurance payments
  8. Dont even try to hide the fact that there are separate justice systems for the rich and poor anymore
  9. “Its a miracle “ deaths door for months so he didn't have to go to jail, now he is being pardoned fir enough to leave the hospital hallelujah hallelujah. Who needs modern medicine when all that was needed was parole
  10. Another boating incident involving group of Chinese tourists, not going to boost Chinese tourism when that hits the news back home
  11. Tragic but on the plus side he was savvy enough to ensure he had full medical insurance coverage, Thailand is not the place to holiday and just wing it, the roads are perilous to put it politely, footpaths aren't much safe, a dispute with locals or other tourists can quickly turn deadly, and low railings on hotel balconies seem to take several visitors lives each year.
  12. The balcony railings in many of these hotels certainly don’t comply with European standards vast majority are very low and its very easy (especially after a few beers) to go lean on the railing where you expect it to be and find nothing there and lose your balance.
  13. So the 7 days of death becomes a 15 days of death
  14. Did any one think he actually would? Question now is he has been too sick to return to prison (hardly a return i know after spending just a few hours there) when he is given parole will he suddenly be miraculously cured and no longer need to remain in hospital? Total farce from start to finish and despite every politicians promise that just is for all not just the wealthy and those politicaly connected You can tell its gotten bad in Thailand now, people have simply conceded that T.I.T and nothing will ever change and whats the point in protesting, they had a glimmer of light when the elections saw the move forward party won but was quickly stamped out. They would rather make concessions to Thaksin to guarantee his freedom (was public enemy number 1) rather than concede to change
  15. Welcome to the rest of the world, you wanted Chinese visitors they came saw business opportunities and now undercut thai retailers, what did you expect they were coming here for ?
  16. Congratulations to the doctors and nurses from the police hospital they have resurrected a man so close to death that he has had to remain in hospital for his entire incarceration. He was so close to death he couldn’t even spend 24 hours of his sentence in jail, now he has miraculously recovered enough to get parole and return to the stress of thai politics
  17. This country will be bankrupt when the “where there’s blames there’s a claim”cases start
  18. Anutin is leader of the coalition party which made it legal, all those individuals and businesses encouraged into investment should sue the government
  19. Is honesty in Thailand such a rare event that a lost wallet becomes newsworthy? Kudos to the hotel worker
  20. Been traveling to airport regularly for last few months as daughter is an air hostess, arrivals seemed quiet but the car parks seemed very busy with people leaving the country for the holidays looking at foreign arrivals but not looking at how much local tourism is being lost
  21. Still has the rice pledging scheme malfeasance charges, the elite are definitely running scared from these new younger candidates from the move forward party, they are slowly splitting the voters and better the devil you know like Thaksin than this new breed of politicians that want unilateral changes to the country
  22. Did they get the tourists to fill out a confidential survey to see if they felt more confident seeing an army of the boys in brown waiting for them on arrival? More than likely most were shocked and concerned how much it was going to cost them
  23. Id be interested to see how many “regular prisoners “ die in custody each year at the prison hospital, i know an ex colleague who fell on hard times and resorted to drugs fell into a coma and died in the prison hospital without being airlifted to the police facility weeks before his release date if he was as ill as is being proclaimed and no deal was made for him not serving time in prison, why did he return and not get the required treatment where he was hiding, this is Thailand they can do what they want, the thing that winds me up is they think all its citizens are retarded and cant see the obvious favoritism. stop the the bull and just announce we are releasing him as we have made a deal the phua thai party so we can keep the move forward party out of power and protect the monarchy
  24. People will buy locally instead of duty free shop on arrival….. what utter rubbish, Thailand cant even buy alcohol unless it’s between 11am and 2pm or 5pm and midnight get this sorted first then your big plan might make more sense
  25. Army barracks? Cant make this up, stop trying to appease this guy and make his life easier. He is a convicted criminal not a young man serving his king and country in the armed forces.
