Thank you for the update. The reason for my posts was to highlight that a nominated fully vaccinated rate of 70% was not even close on July 1. As it has now transpired, failure to secure the bridge, was a much bigger problem than even the 70% aspiration particularly as mostly Sinovac was used.

@Datle @j.a. Absolutely enthralling reading and thank you for verbalizing. More sincere posts like yours convince us Venus and Mars are real.

Dear Stargazer. I am sorry for your loss. Phuket is an ISLAND and this could have been completely avoided. I advocated for exceptional controls back on June 16th but corruption or total dumbness is rife in Thailand (both actually). Look at the track record since then ! The next big thing will be the stupid idea of vaccine certification. I totally support vaccines but not enough effort has been paid to persons with natural covid antibodies. Masks and closures are not intelligent ideas. History will prove that. Look at Sandbox. A great initiative gone horribly haywire, The murder of poor Nicole. Why did that happen? I fear the worse is yet to come and it will be in the form of more crazy ideas.

East v West justice.

If the Police acted with integrity, why did they take the 200,000 baht, Maybe to pay someone else ??

@sapson Thank you for saying that. Few have the guts. I will have a beer with you one day. Many lemmings here |||

Can I say that this is absolute injustice on behalf of the accused. Where has been allowed to present his version of the events? TOTAL THAI <deleted>. The rest of the would is watching at your absolutely lack if IQ. Thai Police need to be subjected to test. eg accepted 200,00 baht and more roses !!!! How intelligent ||| This guy is a fall guy but all you do gooders don't understand that.

Most people do not get it. The family of the accused aka fall guy will be have a big gain in finances. Totally dumb who anybody who falls for this disgusting scam.

A beautiful island totally spoilt by officialdom !!!

To all you lame donut defenders looking for closure, this is far from finished but maybe in Thailand justice is not understood. Never ever let get saving face get in the way of Thai way of life. (May take a few more generations !!! of lunacy)

I will go on record saying that this is a total scam. They have not located the real criminal and this is total insult to every sane minded person. Just look at the Police behavior. Totally reprehensible

@!esponol How bright are you. The Thai police are desperate to bring closure !!

and pictures are posted to the media ?

Alleged.

Yes I do want the island to open up and ALL restrictions removed but frankly I couldn't care less what you think. This circus and the gullible people are what is hurting the Island however.

One word - fabrication

I do have a link but I am not prepared to waste my time arguing with you. If you believe all of what is being reported and then you obviously believe in the re-enactments and other such stupidity.

Totally agree. A re-enactment for what ??

That's what they said yesterday, not the day before.

Quote: " EARLIER STORY: A police commander was speaking to the media and exclaimed “Good news” and told attending media that the case was “all wrapped up”. Police say they have arrested a 33 year old Burmese national. They claim they have CCTV footage with the suspect riding a motorcycle on the road close to the waterfall. UPDATE: In later reports today Thai media have variously described the suspect as a 33 year old Burmese, a 27 year old Thai and, with Thai PBS, not sure… but police will make a statement in a media conference later. " Source = The Thaiger You both look it up yourself instead of just shooting from the hip.

You explain yourself and do little more due diligence before you post. Everything I quoted was from local news reports of Police Conferences. IMHO this was a setup and you need to get a grip on reality. Just read the transcripts

33 year old Burmese national yesterday, 27 year old Thai national today, Suspect spoke to media and made a full confession. Police being paid a 200,000 reward by local tourism the same day. So sorry for the relatives being put through this absolute c...p. Total indictment of mentality of officialdom including top ranking police !!!!!
