Just another way of extorting money from the poor,.... not more than that....

Whether by bus, by car by air or any other transportation mode,.... Safety is never guaranteed except if it's FACE...

Using Voodoo Karma to forcefully get any hansi-pansi suspects and give them the Burma B2 treatment.... Royal Thai police way of doing things to show they are doing things..... create national status instead of real investigation, and leave the rich and influential ones off the hook....

Enter the Dragon, follow a random Australian Mastermind supsect

Blame the nasty nasty condom machines

The only democracy people in the US, UK, Europe etc have lasts for the minute in the polling booth when they put their X against the candidate who has told the most believable lies. After that all bets are off, any promises made to secure your vote will be disappear into thin air, never to be seen again.

Yep, election collection copied from abroad without knowing the real meaning and consequences of it.....

Welcome to the 21st century, in which communication barriers have already been broken since the beginning of the internet era....

.... if our dear PM and former general wants to prevent US-style democracy, he should just SHUT DOWN Thailand's entire network.... will he dare??

Wtmff? Wanna get brainwashed beyond irreparable brain damage and suffer 4 life???

Shelve it and rug it under the table. Better than losing international face

Dear Australian agriculture officials, you are inofficially categorized as victims for those greedy Tuna factory owners, 'cause you dared to make them lose face,.... be on your guard....

And how long is that gonna take? Another 5 years,... maybe next 10 years,..... Or until it's rugged under the carpet???.....

BKK Court Grenade Attack Linked to Siam Paragon Bombing: Police

By Khaosod English

A suspect arrested in connection with the grenade attack on the Criminal Court house in Bangkok on 7 March 2015.

"I cannot say when we will arrest them and I cannot tell the media where the suspects are, because this concerns a police investigation, which cannot be revealed to the press," Pol.Gen. Somyot said.

Typical Thai police logic.... if you do t know and don't give a damn, cherry pick some random suspect and give'm the B2 Burma treatment for publicity.... Better than losing international face...

""Democracy is like a coin that has two sides. One side has a majority and the other side is a minority. We have to help protect the minority from being bullied by the majority. The root cause of the political problems that led to the military coup was because the majority did not heed the voice of the minority, because there were attempts to issue a blanket amnesty, corruption in the rice-pledging scheme. The impeachment decision will prevent the majority from becoming intoxicated with power,'' he said."

The PM could do more by talking less

He did,... by ENFORCING and INTIMIDATING.... that is also an act of getting things done, ....

Operation: Rug it under the carpet and inactive post and attitude adjustment Thai style....

Andrew Drummond has spent a reasonable amount of time in Thai courts - here's how he describes court proceedings in one of his articles:

"The problem about trials in Thailand is that what goes on in the courts is entirely in the hands of the judge or judges, some of whom clearly have a limited legal background, working to laws which have been re-adjusted against defendants.

Judges do have to pass a test of course, but one can be a judge just by getting a law degree and serving a couple of years in a law firm – even the One Stop Services Centre in Pattaya. I have been before judges almost half my age in libel cases. Its not that good judges do not exist - they do. But the law is a lottery and changes made from British law appear to deliberately allow for the system to be abused.

Here’s what judges can and may do – but first one should know that no verbatim record is taken in Thai court proceedings. The evidence in chief and cross examination of witnesses are listened to by the judge, who then speaks into a tape recorder providing his summary of what is said. Many things he simply does not record.

In a recent case where the witnesses was speaking in English my shorthand English note was five times the length of the judges notes and the judge missed out what I considered vital sections of evidence, perhaps because he did not understand.

That is why at the end of each session the witness has to sign the judge’s summary. All are under pressure to do so. They have waited long enough for the court clerk to type it all out. Objections are frowned upon and many defence lawyers do not want to risk the ire of the judge.

In this age everything could easily be electrically recorded. In Singapore it has been for more than twenty years.

Secondly although it appears to be written into the law journalists are NOT free to report court proceedings in Thailand.

I have been frequently asked not to take notes having been identified as a journalist in court. It is not unknown in the south in particular for journalists to be told to leave the court and come back when the judge will hand over his decision – sometimes years ahead in not guilty pleas.

Thirdly journalists are banned, though there appear to be exceptions to this rule, from reporting the case until the case is over, so most of the time they will take the easy option and just wait for the judges’ sentence. Thai journalists are very rarely seen in the courts except at major political and international cases. We read about a lot of arrests - rarely the convictions.

Thai Criminal Law is in the main derived from British Law brought to the country by Prince Rapee something celebrated every year in National Law Day.

But British law insists on the right for journalists to be in court and to be allowed not only to report every cough and spit – but this law dictates that they must provide a contemporaneous report – that means their true account must appear in the next publication or broadcast of their organization, if at all.

British law also dictates there must be a full official record of evidence of all trials.

So how the judges will allow the reporting of this case is vital if justice is to be seen to be done. And of course it is vital in every other case too.

However this allows public scrutiny of which so far Thailand is not a great exponent. To question a judge's decision carries severe penalties.

Finally of course is the question 'Who Cares?' In the age of lifted news which organisations are actually going to send a journalist to cover every day of this case?"

Hope I never end up in one. And no stenographer. Are they really that hard up.

If you have entire influential elite against you, you're always F**********d Screwed

Well, he is a real ladies´ man...

And,.... so now what about the puppet's prison term, anyone???? already forgotten???

Dismissed and never arrested again..... (next time don't get caught....)

Another day another slap on the wrist,....

Buddha teaching abstain from telling lies,stealing. Since the money stolen from the people why it build sin temple since the source of money are from dirty income.

That's what you call vicious abuse of social status,...

You nasty nasty monks, not coming to an attitude adjustment, Karma shall curse you 4ever.....

It's a tough job getting the UN involved when there are hundreds of people getting slaughtered somewhere. Do these idiots think lobbing a grenade into an empty courthouse will even register on the UN 'we have to pretend uwe care-o-meter'???

The UN would just chuckle and think, grow the hell up, kids....

Still not in jail that puppet....???....

So when is the next postponement???....

The point is, no matter who rules this country, the rich and powerful influential bastards that are related or inbetween, will always get a Free pass on their crimes and so do their soiled brats..... it doesn't affect those snobbish scum WHO is currently at power...
