In Thailand, the Occupational Safety, Health, and Environmental Act of 2011 (OSH Act) serves as the cornerstone of occupational safety and health regulations. This legislation places the responsibility on employers to establish safety officers, safety committees, and safety departments to oversee workplace safety. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/enhancing-workplace-safety-thailands-revised-osh-act-michael-j--3ucgc/ Pretty much the same as under HASAWA in the UK, on which it is based on, in that employers absolutely have a legal responsibility for the safety of their employees at the workplace. Failure to meet their responsibilities results in harsh punishment. Enforcement is where it all falls down in Thailand yet again. In the UK, the HSE would be all over this. Shocking to see an employer coming out with statements like that though, that's pre-industrial revolution thinking. Just shows how far behind they are culturally and in education.

No reason why Cambodia won't let him in. I know several people that live there that cannot come back to Thailand, for crimes much more serious than overstay.

I find the Thai people whom I deal with at govt. and upper-corporate management level infinitely more divisive, emotionally unstable, greedy, corrupt, and dangerous than any of those in the lowly 'service industry' that I have met over the last 33 years of living here. 🙏

Where are all the posters that were telling us that he really could be seriously ill, and it was not all staged? Looking like absolute mugs now. 🫣

From Wikipedia: The GT200 was used extensively in Thailand.Reportedly, over 800 GT200 units were procured by Thai public bodies since 2004; these include the Royal Thai Army's purchase of 535 units for combating the South Thailand insurgency and another 222 units for use in other areas, the Royal Thai Police's purchase of 50 units for use in Police Region 4 (Khon Kaen), 6 units acquired by the Central Institute of Forensic Science and an equal number acquired by the Customs Department, the Royal Thai Air Force's purchase of 4 units, and the single unit acquired by the Chai Nat police. According to Lt Gen Daopong Rattansuwan, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Royal Thai Army, each GT200 bought by the army cost 900,000 baht (£17,000), rising to 1.2 million baht (£22,000) if 21 "sensor cards" were included with it. In total, Thailand's government and security forces have spent between 800 and 900 million baht (US$21 million) on the devices. Figures updated in 2016 claim that the Thai government spent 1.4 billion baht on the purchase of 1,358 devices between 2006 and 2010. Even after the efficacy of the device was debunked by Thai and foreign scientists, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, then army chief, declared, "I affirm that the device is still effective." The Bangkok Post commented that, "The GT200 case was a unique scandal because the devices...seemed to fool only the people closely connected to their sale and purchase." 🤣🤣🤣

And the money already divided up and spent.

Thailand bought millions of Pounds worth of these novelty golf ball finders. The guy that sold them, Jim McCormack, was sent to jail in the UK. You will see no similar justice here as pockets were lined. Another "remote substance detector" device, the Global Technical GT200, has come under scrutiny in Thailand in the wake of the controversy over the ADE 651. The ******* **** reports that the GT200 is virtually identical to the ADE 651 and has been described by critics as a "divining rod" which uses "controller cards", like the ADE 651, to find explosives. The **** attributes the death of several Royal Thai Police officers to its repeated failures to detect explosives. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADE_651#Iraq It could be viewed that she is partly responsible for those deaths. Useless muppet.

Another thai boondoggle that has failed and been Resurrected more times than the Dalai Lama.

Yet more immigration embarrassment for Thailand, while both Singapore and Malaysia show the way by introducing automated gates for foreign visitors. Thailand is so far behind in the race, they probably think they are in the lead. Still, they can always put up yet more signs warning people not to take photos of the immigration areas, in an attempt to frighten them from exposing how bad the problem has become and to cover up their inability and incompetence in managing it.

Indeed. The recent high-profile cases of foreign criminals serve as a convenient distraction for the criminal circus going on at the highest levels within the Thai Police.

Advice: don't trust any of them.

Double post.

Cannot lie straight in bed this lot. 🤣 Everything is for sale here.

Did you bother to read the article? She claimed the victim made her do it and tried to rape her.

The usual poor management and planning to blame I expect.

Just I predicted on the other thread. As obvious as the nose on the end of your face.

They would steal the sugar out of your tea this lot. Amusing to see two of the country's most senior police exposed.

Vinfast are dugsh*t.

Why not? When I lived in Bangkok, I used the buses all the time. Often, a much better option than dealing with taxis and safer than motorbike taxis too. Never had any issues in over 25 years using them.

Final nail in the coffin if they legalise casinos imo. See: Sihanoukville.

She was his caretaker. He was in a wheelchair. She was meant to check on him every day. He rotted in a room, body decomposing for three days. Don't keep making excuses for these people.

Odd, uninformed statement that. The majority would still be living in wooden huts and riding buffalos without tourism and foreign investment over the last few decades.

Disgusting behaviour from this immigration policeman.

It never ceases to amaze me the arrogant stupidity of the people here. Correct. To understand, we have to go back to the original role of the Thai Police, which was a bunch of hired thugs to protect the Chinese merchant class. Total reform needed.

The country is run by convicted criminals mate.
