Apparently the money saved on transgender surgery he wants re-allocated to a private White House watersports centre,  staffed mainly by Russian females.

Everyone is sick of seeing whoever is in charge of Thailand line their own pockets, I think that was why a few were concerned when the good general inherited 20 million dollars within days of becoming PM from some old patch of land that his parents had been sat on since the days when they "grew rice and vegetables for a living", I can't see why people would be sceptical of that though, sounds perfectly legit!

And avoided tax by ensuring the BVI was the residential area of the registered legal entity.

The cable and satellite channels charging a small fortune to watch this act of barbarity claimed as sport.

Should read Pattaya -  Boom Boomtown

Of course after Pol Pot they are expert

Good news for once.  Driving within their capability is not a Thai trait. Typical Fortuner driver,  this time he rear ended an immovable object . If Thais drove within their capabilities they would never be on a highway.

To be fair most of us would argue that nearly all Thai politicians, police and other public officials should face justice - however what most of us are saying is the sentence is a farce - it is putting dodgy dealing on a par with Murder and other more serious crimes.  That is why it is farcical.  Plus it seems fairly typical that one or two people are singled out for "justice" while the majority of people who must have been complicit get away with it.  If the news had been that 20-30 people had been given sentences of between 1 - 5 years then most of us would applaud it.  

 

Nobody trusts the justice system except when it delivers a verdict they agree with, and that is rare.  I really cannot blame Yingluk for leaving the country given that what amount to life sentences are being handed down for what has been "normal business practice" for decades.  What is really needed are checks and balances in the system which make it much less tempting to succumb to corruption in the first place.

A very articulate and accurate description of the Thai issues.  However one point I would take issue with is that murder in Thailand is dealt with less securely than others.   The taking of a human life should be ,  in my book, the worst crime , and hence secure the longest possible punishment.   But Thailand with their greed continues to provide longer punishments where it concerns money.  that is the problem when you have a failed ideology.

'farce'.

 

Both proven guilty, in fact the investigators found the totally falsified documents to prove the case very easily and in very quick time.

you mean the falsified, falsified documents ?

Really  - check your facts on others that have skipped the country.

what a farce ?

My wife just old me she flew to Singapore yesterday evening so maybe the rumours are true.

Actually here in Raffles bar,  she can hear me very well so the ear issues have certainly been cured with the Singapore sling I just bought for her

Just the thought of all those thousands of police and soldiers standing around in the hot sun waiting for one women to show up is already cracking me up.

I agree and the plus side is that with so many police their they are not robbing motorists so much perhaps.  Think how much the police cronies are losing out from extortion at this point in time due to them being there.

Just wondering why the supposedly and actual "Live updates" stopped almost an hour ago ?  Perhaps the Nation will report them tomorrow instead !!

You can say the entire world doesn't have the balls to deal with this. It's been going on for decades and no action. Place the blame properly.

But it is only the US,  Trump in particular, who keep spouting bile at Kim, only for Kim to hold up his middle finger, every time .  And if you are going to apportion blame properly to the current situation and its causes, then the cessation of hostilities in 1953 were due to the incompetence of which country to have the ability and balls to take on a much depleted,  under trained and poorly armed ( compared to the US )Chinese army ?

Just pussy footing around I expect

are the police prepared for The Fifth Dimension?

 

 

Well if they turned up perhaps they would get the 3 Degree

The US administration are all "Risky Tools" so these talks will end up as the usual gob <deleted> with no action. Trump and his cronies at like eunuchs,  they now what they would like to do but haven't got the balls to do it.

There's lies and there's damned lies

They will probably find her guilty.  That decision was reached before the trial even began.  The real question is: will they dare imprison her, or will they give her a suspended sentence, and political ban for 5 years or so? 

 

Personally, I feel that if they imprisoned her, they would be biting off more than they can chew.  The north & northeast would pretty much revolt, and there would definitely be violence. Especially when the coup lead army steps in and starts killing people.  

 

Guilty, but with suspended sentence is the only sensible way out. 

 

 

yes I do because they value their own lives.

Unfortunately you should catch up on your facts, something most TV Junta sympathisers appear incapable of doing

Sounds like advice to the puppet from the pupputeer

I also remember when a red shirt thug claimed a 'million man march' on the capital (2010?) 

You would also remember then of the 58 murdered by the military, 38  Red shirt supporters were shot in the back

Bit old hat this thread considering the weasel Thai lawyer has withdrawn all charges

It will only provide further evidence to the international community that Thais are are in the death throes of a failed state  and anyone with a gun and no brain can steal from the poor Thai peasants with impunity
