a comment under Bangkok Post's article "CSD charges 'traitorous' T-shirt seller":

"kwang Posted: 194 | 12 Sep 2018 at 15.17 Fact : The company that sells t-shirt with this logo - rectangular three color tabs, has been around in the market in this region - South East Asia and Southern China for more than 10 years...at least. I believe it comes from Hongkong or Shenzhen. It is popular for its low cost and good quality material. Use to own a couple of them some 10 years ago - good for sports and exercises"

domestic animals do extend life expectancy by 5 years, so do regularly deworm yourself and your pets, but keep them close to you

that's how work all the other anti mosquito coils, should never be used indoors. And use it only occasionally   

it's a publicity stunt. You can see a microphone from Channel 8 during the arrest.

Big Joke promotes himself with help from mass media, all those press conferences, including at 2am at khaosan rd police station, flying to germany after run away monks.

And it's not for the sake of tourism, because he is concentrating on domestic crime.

the case is politically motivated.

government is after dhammakaya sect, which is aligned to reds. Those abbots were associated  with dhammakaya.

budha issara, charged with lesse majeste, freud, abduction and torture police officers during bangkok shutdown was arrested the same day as them, but released without any charge today 

he suppose to be at court today morning.

Why to release him just some 12 h before his conviction?

he was charged with lesse majeste. How often does it happen?

so the court takes 1 in 9 witnesses from prosecution and 1 in 3 from defence. Fair game

that warrant gave powered ammunition to those, who wanted to protest against prayuth's visit to downing street, on 20.6 at 14:00

I do not mean to be rude, but apparently does anybody really seem to care out there, high above ?

yes, more motorbikes and cars sold, to replace those written off. High above is a part of a food chain

wikipedia states official figures 15k/year, estimated to be over 30k, that's around 80 daily.

thai statistics don't include those, who died within a month. All international statistics do. 

And those who die in hospitals are as many, as those on the roads.

Those figure are only for 5 months, not 6, as supposed in the article.

the only purpose of this army is to kill citizens, nothing about protecting borders, because there is no treat

in thailand estimated 60% sentenced are miscarriages of justice - framed by police, tortured to confession, paid by the wealthy perpetrator to do time for him. Many are without layers or told to confess in hope to half their sentence, defence can be also bribed. With rampant corruption all police will meddle with an investigation, cover or destroy evidence, every prosecutor and judge will take money. So out of those 500 some 300 are doing time for nothing. Everybody knows, that drugs are produced, transported and distributed by police, so many examples every month in the media and from street talk. They control probably the majority of the market, so very convenient for them to swipe any competition. Same goes for controlling human trafficking, paid killing, prostitution, gambling etc. Don't expect from police proper investigation, they are very often not professional, bribed their way into police academies, through exams and into well oiled jobs.

foreigners are coming rather for easter than for songkran. Also many expatriates even leave thailand for songkran as there are practically 10 days off work 6-16.4 to visit their families

I thought most people were coming INTO Thailand for Songkran.

they might me already here for easter, and  leaving in a week or two, so build up around songkran

sorry excuse - thai travelling domestically have nothing to do with "emigration chaos" as they don't pass through, and foreigners don't watch "Love Destiny".

so it's just a political propaganda. Smells elections are coming

there were only foreigners, not thai. It was a private party in an open space.

Cancellation of full moon party came at the last few days, rather unexpected order. Many booked accommodation and air tickets months before. So they were duped

Enforced Disappearances are murders done by police, soldiers and other state officials like national park wardens, secret service. There is always a slim chance for justice

Yet before he was cleared he pressed charges against DSI:

"On 9 June 2017, the Supreme Court accepted a lawsuit against Tharit Pengdit, former director-general of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), and three other persons. 
In 2012, the four pressed murder charges against Abhisit and Suthep for authorising the 2010 crackdown.
Abhisit and Suthep retaliated by accusing the four of corruption and propagating false accusations against them, claiming that the DSI did not have the authority to investigate the crackdown in the first place.
The Supreme Court’s ruling contradicts previous verdicts from the Court of First Instance and the Appeal Court, who dismissed the charges against the DSI staff."https://prachatai.org/english/node/7351

I disagree, I'd say the fortuner "shin escape vehicle" was the most interesting.

that exactly what my blue glass ball says

going back to middle ages with a full blown feudalism.

not the end of the story:

" "But CU’s disciplinary action against Netiwit is far from over. He still faces an additional charge for using university premises without permission when he hosted a public hearing at the Student Council office to receive complaints and requests about a CU commercial development project. If his student behavior points are demoted by 15 or more, he will be suspended for one" semester." https://prachatai.com/english/node/7353

one day he is going to be in prison

that was the same organisation, which also shut down 2 bangkok, phuket and crabi airports. It was smart to sentence them for occupying governments property, and not sedition or airports shut downs. Their close friends, who occupied bangkoku for half year in 2014, are still walking free
