How embarrassing for Thailand, having supposed educated men trying to pass this load of <deleted> and expect people to believe it.
money talks for the fat lying army officers and the puncy gutless Weazel from Red bull goes free.I don't suppose any Thais in silly uniforms are in any way educated, regardless of the degrees or education certificates they have received.

They need a clever plan... a scheme if you will, to encourage rice farmers to grow more rice and reinforce downward price pressure on the crop to remain more competitive...
If only we had a government that was committed and able to implement such a scheme.
Oh wait...

Yet the stories in the media seem to focus on the arrests of Indians, Chinese and elderly farang on overstay.
no effort spared to publicise those heinous crimes.

So Thailand is on the verge of economic and political collapse, the PM is concerned with something that happened years ago that underwent a brown envelope exercise years ago. Get a dam grip PM and sort your starving people which should be of a greater concern... whats an absolute failure to the human race of Thailand, your a slow kid that was sent to private military school that got on his knees to many times..!
No-one is starving in Thailand mate.

As I posted in another thread, the forensic investigation gave clear evidence of a rear-ended impact to the Policeman's motorcycle at 177km/h.
How evidence that two witnesses give some eight years later can be regarded as admissible and more accurate over and above forensics is ridiculous.
As in the Koh Tao debacle, silly, fat, corrupt, old Thai men in stupid uniforms with IQ's less than 90 expect everyone to believe what they say without question, regardless of how nonsensical and impossible.

Interesting that District Police personnel can tell Immigration what to do?
"as per the rules". That's a good one.
Thong Lor the most corrupt cop shop in Thailand doing things by the rules will be an absolute first.

So, he's never helped a convicted drug dealer with false degree documents?
Drug smuggler.
An important distinction to make as smuggling across international borders is a more serious offence and can be punished by a death sentence in Thailand.
It is also important to check the other parts of the convicted drug smuggler's history, very sinister indeed.
Absolutely a criminal and involved at the highest level of Thai politics.

Questions.
Who were the new witnesses and why did they take 8 years to come forward?
After such a long time, how can any prosecutor of right mind have this considered admissible evidence and their testimony reliable?
How can the prosecution accept that eye witnesses judged the speed of the vehicle correctly at 100km/h less than the forensic team after a thorough investigation?
How did the prosecutors conclude that the witnesses were correct that the Policeman swerved into the path of the oncoming Ferrari when the angle of impact as shown clearly in the photos indicates the Policeman was rear ended?
Why did Boss not stop at the scene of the accident and drive for at least 100m while dragging the Policeman's body with him?
Why did Thong Lor Police allegedly collude with the family to pin the blame on a servant, and why, when this was known, was the case not transferred to a higher investigative authority?
Why is Boss allowed to get away with ignoring a summons eight (8) times?
Why was Boss' last entry into Thailand in July 2017 when there were warrants out for his arrest and why was he not picked up by immigration?
Why, if there was an Interpol notice out for him as Thai authorities claim, was he not then picked up in London by the Met?
I could go on...

Yeah for Thaksin the innocent; man of the people!
Oh, and all those millions of Thais who protested against the attempted Thaksin whitewash and immunity, do speak the language, do read local media, do understand the culture and don't get conned like you and some others seem to.
The point was they (and you apparently) were conned by Sonthi's media machine and his politicisation of the Monarchy.
Do try to read and comprehend my posts properly in future. Thanks.

All Thai governments have been corrupt, but some much more so than others. Chuan Leekpai was a lawyer with a very small bank account when he became Prime Minister, both times. And when he left office, he wasn't any richer than when he arrived.
His brother, Raluek Leekpai, allegedly embezzled billions of Baht from a Thai bank and did a runner to Taiwan.
Statute of limitations expired and he came back.
Funny old game, eh?

Pretty much.
As much as I disliked the man at the time, he was as competent a leader as Thailand has ever had, and probably ever will have.
Dig out some of his old interviews with BBC and CNN if you want to reminisce. He deals with all the questions fielded to him competently, in English too. Do you think anyone in this current regime would even go on international TV? Let's not kid ourselves.
Getting rid of him probably set back Thailand 30 years, but you reap what you sow and the country gets the government it deserves, ultimately.

1 hour ago, thequietman said:Nope, same applies. I am commenting on the fact that the 'reds' are saying they haven't gone away, when in fact, if Thaksin & Co. were not so greedy, there would be no need for any of this.
Actually, if the Thaksin government did not remove Viroj as CEO of KTB then Sonthi would not have taken up a vendetta against his old friend Thaksin.
The government removed Viroj because he forgave Sonthi's personal loans to the tune of over a billion Baht. He was also useless at being a CEO and losing KTB money so had to be fired but that is by the by.
Sonthi's media businesses were in dire trouble at the time too, so this was a dangerous situation for him in particular. Thaksin was starting his own media empire at the time too...
So it wasn't Thaksin's corruption that started all this in the first place. Nothing to do with greed on the government side anyway.
After the vendetta started, Sonthi used his media empire to paint Thaksin as wholly corrupt and anti-Monarchy, which of course was all spin. Thaksin's administration was no more corrupt than any before it, and certainly not after it, current military administrations have proven to be completely beyond the pale.
Once the anti-Thaksin movement gained momentum, the spin was lapped up by foreign obsessives on here, and the Monarchy was politicised, against the wishes of the ruling Monarch at the time.
Thaksin was also a victim of his own success. The share price of Shin corp. trebled while he was in office, before he sold it to Temasek, which provoked more rage among the befuddled Thai nationalists who then used Sonthi's media to claim Thaksin was changing laws to fiddle tax. Not true of course, but lapped up my many.

29 minutes ago, SoilSpoil said:The Shinawatra governments were as corrupt as the present lot. How many activists went missing under Thaksin's rule? The war on drugs? Billion baht lawsuits against journalists? Total contempt for human rights and justice. The flare up of the southern conflict.Samak and Chalerm as his bully boy generals. The rice scheme that was nothing more than a half trillion baht feeding frenzy for the corrupt. Thaksin and his red brigade left quite a footprint.
Let's not forget the past.
More than a bit of exaggeration and embellishment in this post. Reads like a post from a person that wasn't here during the Thaksin years or one of the obsessives on here that can't admit the military is far worse in power than Thaksin ever was.
To disseminate:
The war on drugs was praised in the birthday speech of the country's revered person, whom we can't discuss here. It was overwhelmingly popular among the public as Thailand was awash with drugs at the time. It instantly improved the situation and did a lot to stop the scourge of yaba at the time.
The Southern conflict was exacerbated by the hardliner conservatives not under Thaksin's control. In particular the old guard like Prem and his acolytes (he's from Songkhla incidently) and let's not forget, as they are now, the military does not operate under orders from elected governments. Tak Bai and other incidents that inflamed the situation down there happened under the military, and nobody has been held accountable.
Chalerm and Samak are not generals, so please don't name them as such.
Activists going missing? I can name one high profile person that went missing during Thaksin's time. There are dozens that have gone missing under this regime. Human rights is far worse now, that's not even comparible.
The red brigade? A direct response to the Yellow Shirt movement that was formed by a jilted media mogul after Thaksin removed his mate Viroj from the CEO position at KTB for poor performance and forgiving Sondti's personal loans of over 1 billion Baht.
It's like a Thai soap opera, but if you don't speak the language, read local media or understand the culture you'll get lost in unfounded accusations, uninformed opinion and the obsessive nonsense spouted by a few lost old men on here.

You still get this even when you kick it up a notch to flexible schedules, remote working, brand new PCs, lunch paid for, transport included and market leading salaries -- for people without resumes but who will be provided highly detailed specialist training.
"Oh, mum wants me to move back home and help out with their shop".
There's no logic - I'm sure if you could just send money to their bank account while they do whatever they want there'd still be some sort of complaint. The fact that the entire country basically exists on the back of underpaid migrants should really give you all that you need to know about the actual state of business here.
I'm just waiting for the drop as god knows they're a decade behind the rest of the world -- apparently including recessions!Funny, we only very occasionally have those kinds of staffing problems at our companies.
Sounds like your HR and management are the problem.

I would say it's your own fault for trying to earn money in a 3rd world country.
But what do I know?
Nothing apparently as you have never run a successful business in Thailand, as is the case for the majority of posters here.
Just joining in on the tedious Thai-bashing as per with the usual "third-world" slurs.
Many foreign companies have their operations in Thailand and do very well out of it.
You have to adapt to their culture of business and working, not the other way around.

This whole place is rotten to the very core.

Good point. And if critical mass reaches a certain point, and it definitely will, if the army does not surrender power in the next few years, there will likely be some violence. But, in this age of social media, amd with the utter lack of moral leadership presently, I do not think the army will have the stomach to slaughter many of it's people, live and streaming. If the people make it clear how despised Prayuth and his band of incompetents are, they will go. Sooner or later. The army is a social force, that is beyond toxic.
I beg to differ. The Army will have no hesitation to shoot live rounds if ordered.
The problem is, the only thing that was preventing perennial military rule in Thailand has now gone, and we don't know what the reaction will be if mass protests start again, which now looks inevitable.
They shot live ammo before in 2010 with PM Abhisit lying on television lying saying they were only firing blanks when it could be clearly seen that the Thai Army were using live rounds with no suppressors.

Two witnesses have apparently come forward that say Boss was driving at under the 60km/h speed limit, and not the 177km/h detailed in the forensic reports. They also testified that the Policeman was at fault, swerving into the front of the Ferrari.
Convenient that these witnesses have now appeared at this time, so late on in proceedings.
The Thais are just as livid about this as we are, and it may even weaken this sham government's position even further.

They got a lot more than that. Do you think compensation should be based on your wealth? 50,000 is what most families get.
It is in certain countries. For example fines for motoring offences are directly linked to your income in Norway.
If you're caught speeding in Norway, expect to pay a $3,000 fine on your ticket. Norway levies a fine of 10% of your annual income for speeding tickets. Alongside the fine, Norwegian law imposes a mandatory minimum 18-day jail sentence for speeds deemed excessive.

It can't get more ridiculous than to advertise tourism for a country with closed borders.
it's not ridiculous, it's everything they have ever wanted.
Total control of who enters and in very limited numbers, while gaining face around the World with the lack of domestic cases and self-aggrandising promotions like this one.
Now that the Thai military have thrown their support behind LCFC, I want them to get absolutely destroyed in every game they play, and I hope I am not alone in that.
