I am wondering if the persons/officials who let these people in also will be prosecuted. It is not about improper images, it is, about it seems permissions and visa. So why only the foreigners than?
That is also a proof that the Thai visa system is outdated. A visa should not take too long for journalists who already have a place in Thailand. But we all know how it works.
I am just wondering why a Shinawatra again? Ok Thailand was better when Thaksin was PM , but there should be others who are very capable too. New blood to move forward I think is better, than doing the same over and over again.
THai society should be get een update to 21st century instead of staying in the 19th century. But the old fashoned Government will keep things in place as it is a Thai tradition.
CNN reporters on tourists visa?? If they had tourist visa it shows again the outdated visa system and labour laws of Thailand. If they are journalists they should have got proper visas. In several articles we could read that these reporters were allowed to enter the scene. So why condemn them if they got permission and why are there picture of others with the same content not being prosecuted? Soft power to attrack tourists???
failing enforcement of the laws is a big problem here in Thailand. A lot of problems occur by this lack of enforcement. Unfortunately situations like this happens all around the world. For one or another reason people loose their minds and make innocent victims... Hope there will no copy of it.
and than they publish an article on soft power for attracking tourists... They want one thing and the they ruined it by an other announcement like this... Welcome in thr rip off tourism sector of Thailand, while Thailand is wondering why tourists don't want to visit anymore
Very sad tragedy.. youn kids murdered for nothing by a drugsaddicted policeman. Rip to all the victims.
The news in my country wrote that Thailand is a country which has the most weapons and not counted the illegal owned. Sad that people with mental problems can't get help anywhere. It is so easy to get drugs everywhere, a proof of a failing policeforce. Nevertheless a very sad day for the country
