In the US, all that info is held behind a brick wall, and almost impossible to obtain.

I predicted he would be out of prison and at home on a house arrest before the end of the month. Dayam, he's even quicker than I imagined, If you don't think this was all planned well in advance of him coming back, I have a super yielding rice farm for sale in Issan.

Exactly. This was planned well in advance, and I heard somewhere, that he owns this hospital. Anyone?

The travel industry is bracing itself for an exceptionally weak low season, with predictions of stagnant demand, escalating operational costs. Oops... too late Pattaya,

Wondering the same thing, how did this guy get in on a one way visa?

Thai politics. No one understands it, not even Thai's. They make up the rules as they go along.

He's just stirring up the mud in Thailand by being next door.

Because it's hot?

Lots of money coming into the temples over this period. The temples will stretch it out for all they can.
