  1. if minister of defence and defence ministry spokesman go public on subject of beating, it means, that it were soldiers (and not police or whoever), who wanted to kill ja new.

     

    now they are trying to cover their own back expressing sympathy with the victim and urging police to work faster.

     

    the time is running - the 7 day deadline, which started yesterday, for catching the perpetrators. If they are not apprehended, the name of their military commanding officer will be made public. And that might be somebody close to the ministry, junta or state security agency.

     

     and there might be more than those seen on cctv, support team, possibly the second, armed group 

  2. so somebody, with a grudge to his superior, spilled the beans. Must be a cruel superior, if hated that much.

     

    To conduct this beating there might be many people involved - like stalkers, people listening to bug devices and looking at screens for most of the day. So more than one team of 4 soldiers.

     

    This was exact timing, a day before an event commemorating 1932 revolution, which Ja New was co-organising.

     

    the government knows, who did it, because they are spying on opposition round the clock and by many means.

     

    If he could tell now, what country?

    is their superior now holidaying in switzerland?

    That's Lese Majeste. These have been law in Thailand for a long time. These are not the new 35 regulations I'm wanting to know more about. Thanks anyway.

    they were critics of monarchy long before 2014 coup, with multiple lese majeste cases. That's why, and many others, have to flee in may 2014. The junta forbade any contact with them, even liking their social media posts, in 2017. By this order their created streisand effect - ajarn somsak now has 350k followers, marchall and ajarn pavin some 100k each. And many more readers. And they are much more brave in liking, sharing and commenting than in 2017, because there is a whole mass of them, beyond the junta ability to prosecute. 

    btw new lese majeste cases are not taken by prosecutors since december 2017, when ajarn sulawaksa's charges were dropped by order of the king https://www.tlhr2014.com/?p=10431&lang=en

  4. there is a vaccine, it's expensive and available for 9-45 years old. Also for those, who lived in tropical countries for over 9 years and for those, who already had confirmed case. I got this vaccination in september 2017, after catching illness in july. After 2 doses I got sick again in november 2018, but it was very mild. The last dose I had in february this year. I hope I am protected after those 2 illnesses and from vaccinations. 

     

    As a first ever vaccination it's not perfect, there would other ones coming within years. 

     

    I cost me 9.3k in a private hospital. At mahidol tropical medicine department it's 6k, but might be difficult to qualify (they would need confirmed medical history, check ups).

     

    I did not test for dengue, as laboratory costs some 2k, almost as much as a vaccination. But my 2 neighbours were hospitalised at that time.

     

    I am happy with my decision to vaccinate, even it failed to fully protect me. 

     

    As to Philippines, mentioned in a link above, there was free vaccination program for 750k kids and for some 15k policeman. The new, authoritarian government, went after the opposition, who introduced this program. The only prosecution was against the producer for wrong size letters on the packaging, they were fined $1000. But the program was stopped. The new authorities don't want spend money on health, would rather buy armaments.

     

    PS This vaccine is available now in 20 countries, including EU from the last year, and the USA from this year

    has signed cooperative agreements with eight agencies on environmental and dengue control, on the occasion of ASEAN Dengue Day. It’s feared the dengue situation this year will be more critical than last year.

    so, on occasion of dengue day they decide to call epidemic and say, that this year epidemic will be more critical than the last year's. Last year there was not epidemic and there was not critical situation.

     

    what they mean, is to take more tax money on their new cars and homes.
