Lets hope they are allowed to reunite with their families in South Korea. The alternative of repatriation will not end well for those fleeing North Korea.

Down to the South Korean govt it seems.

And what's the missionary's position? Is he on top of things with his defense or is he going to get screwed by the RTP?

Think it's called "doggy"

So glad I moved out when I did I can see where this is all going and it's not good. I wonder if Thai people will pay the same price?

Just seen that Thailand does have a small number of geothermal generators. So why not invest in more of these?

Why can't power be taken from the large number of hot springs that are dotted all over Thailand? I would have thought that such plants would be very safe and very green.

Isn't it possible to move back to the UK for a few months...get your pension back in line then head back to Thailand?

Worth doing perhaps every few years...

While back in the UK you will get full pension with all entitlements but on moving back to Thailand your pension reverts to what it was on the initial claim.

Sorry they got you all ways.

:-(

Just keep your habitual residence in the UK or Europe like everyone else!!!

I would not give most of them a water pistol.

Just a matter of time before the big kick off. Lets hope they never get to join the EU.

Thai wine tastes like Thai democracy yuk.

Being able to speak thai is important for 2 things, dealing with rogue police and for random dinner table chat. Thats it really. I think most thais prefer it when they think farangs are 'fresh' and dont speak thai (especially potential dates)

Ever been in an accident? Found yourself alone on a small Thai road at midnight looking for a way home?

Gone to a medical service provider who did not speak English? Had to deal with utilities like phone or internet or electricity or water on the phone? Ever tried to describe what was wrong with your car? Ever bought insurance? Ever tried to get a refund? I could go on. Not speaking Thai is like being deaf and dumb in Thailand.

So a great place if you are deaf and dumb then?

​I know how to order noodle soup! But I still pay more for it as I look like a tourist. Going to work on my squint and get a nose job that might help.

Surely this must include top officials within Thai society like Military Generals and teachers too and not just politicians, in fact any one holding office within Thailand because as we all know there is a lot of giggery pokery going on.

Is Thailand part of Eu? I don't think so. Then which right is it dare give orders to Thailand ? The damages that it causing to the European countries doesn't enough for them ?

Fact of life old chap, if you want to trade with the EU then they can set the rules, simple !!!

The way things look just now it would not take much of a nudge and the EU would look rather different.

EU should climb back in there box and sort them selves out before trying to fix everyone else's problems.

Being a senior or top gun in a respected organisation must bring with it pride and creditability. But being top fly on a turd brings nothing but contempt.

So instead of saying "do what I say and not what I do" maybe he along with his crones could begun by setting an exemplary example instead of using there position to evade prosecution for things like drunken driving, and running red lights etc. But I think I am it's never going to change here all the time they have a hole in there bum.

What about all the army officers as well?

And teachers, and doctors, and most of all ME cus I is VIP

"I told them no five times, but the volunteers wouldn't give in." They forgot that this VIP was beyond reproach. I am surprised that the volunteers where not all tossed in Jail for defamation of a police officer.

Well done those volunteers for doing your job well. Had you not insisted you could all be in Jail now for not doing your job. Guess it's a lose lose situation.

Well well what do you know when the police have to put up or shut up they have absolutely <deleted> all worth a rub. So I guess we will soon see an eye whiteness step forward for the police or who knows some Devine intervention to provide them with a conviction. After all they can't be seen to be what they are and I can't say it or I could be arrested too. Thailand is a scary place these days.

Welcome to the fold O Enlightened One.

No thanks I moved out two years ago when having lived there for a few years I released that to live in Thailand one could not expect to see real justice or be treated in any way other than a foreigner / sucker ready to be taken advantage of.

That was quick or maybe the headlines are crossed. I thought that the Greeks had to make it in Greek law and then after this the EU would take them seriously and start to help them. So it a done deal !! Me thinks this is not going to last long. What happened about the Greeks being out of the Euro for five years? Why did the Greeks have a referendum if they are now going to do what the EU asked for in the first place, all this shows is that the Greeks are clearly not able so sort themselves. Guess we will soon see Greeks in the street protesting that they have been betrayed by there government.

It's always a bit sad when families make the big move but it's often for the best to head west (well it's west to the UK) to a land of Political correctness, good schools, and a sense of fairness. We are glad we made the move and will look forward to our visit in two weeks safe in the knowledge that we will be going back to stable street UK.

If this is true and can be proven... he's toast.

So toast is what you call someone with 10Billion Baht then?

Crucial DNA evidence in the case of the murder of two British backpackers cannot be retested because it no longer exists,

Did it ever exist in the first place?

How can one lose the most key piece of evidence? And without it, what case does the prosecution have?

None?

So now the defence ask for the case to be thrown out due to lack of evidence. Next.

Hi Jay,

In answer to your post this is I think a company who are doing some leg work for couples who want to enter the UK. It looks like the EU route but you do not need to use them as it is very straight forward to do it oneself. It is free and as I said relatively simple however the UK are starting to view the EU route differently. Where before you only need to become resident in any EU country until your Thai wife had her EU residents card (about 12 weeks) then get a Family Visa (free) to the UK.

Now the UK want to try to apply the rule differently, they want you the British subject to now be resident in the EU longer (there is talk of 6 months ) they would also want to see that the British subject was settled there in the full sense i.e. home bank etc they call it centre of life they even expect that you would be involved in charity work too. You should not own a property in the UK or have a Bank in the UK.

The EU court through this out and not surprisingly. To start with there is nothing in law to prevent a foreign person owing a property in the UK or having a bank account there so why should any British person who is working away in Europe?

What ever the fact is the EU route is alive and well but you do need to get your skates on as there are changes in the air and I feel it won't take long before they come into force.

I am so glad we did it back in 2012 now we can relax my wife can stay now as long as she wants she only has to renew her residents card every 5 years.

Ruling expected tomorrow on whether DNA evidence in British backpacker murders can be retested by an independent laboratory. #kohtao

And the answer is NO. Or it will be seen that Thai people can not do it's job properly. Next request also NO.
