    Think they are also keen to collect Tax from Freelancers and with Big Brother watching many might be forced to Payup by Paypal. They already write in their terms of service they can demand peoples Tax ID's or else freeze their accounts.

    I think probably they are doing this to intentionally prevent Digital Nomads coming to Thailand. Still just over the borders there are no such restrictions.

    Money laundering is always used as an excuse. So are only foreigners laundering money?

    Surprised that an International company like Paypal would support such discrimination and don't even see what they want in Thailand as Thai's won't be using their services which such high commission rates unless they start taking 0%. What about those Digital Nomads they were bosting about not so long ago? Most get paid through Paypal.

    So looks like Cannabis is attracting bad people even when legal. Some will have you believe that's a myth.

    Big PR campaign going on before they release any details of the crime.

    "safety windows and doors to be installed" What use is that going to be? Better take the guns off cops and soldiers who don't need them especially the private ones they have at home.

    Promises today will be soon forgotten! Remember the Army promised reforms after the shooting in Korat but nothing happened apart from arresting some whistle blowers for coming forward with evidence.

    Thai's always seem to make it public how much they donate as they want everyone to know they are good people. Even at temples they announce on loud speakers how much each person has donated.

    So seems it's true what CNN claimed they were let in. I have to admit all Thai officials ( Civil Servants) in their uniforms look like police. Also there are plenty of graphic pictures and videos on social media inside the building so who made those pictures?

    Perhaps they were refused a Press Visa or it just takes too long who knows but I guess they had their reason's.

    Go search social media there are plenty of photo's and video's inside the building and even of dead bodies so someone was letting reporters in or probably just not stopping them. Also why did they only have Tourist Visas is so difficult to get a Press Visa or maybe it takes too long? Personally I don't think they wanted international press snooping around and so weren't giving out Visas.

    Thaksin's War On Drugs was very popular in 2003 as many people were being Killed, Mugged and by drug dealers and drug addicts and drugs. But seriously don't think it's going to the right policy now even in Isarn Pheu Thai's home turf people are Ganga crazy. Funny why so many foreigners here defend drug abuse.

    Seems a bit strange to me maybe they were asking too many questions? Wasn't the murderer a cop being prosecuted for drug trafficking wasn't he? and that's not usually a 1 man job. Why was the barrier down when they went in with other reporters inside but up when they came out and then someone was waiting to photo's? And why was Big Joke put in charge of the case?

    Yes thanks they based the number 2000 on the original article by AFP but after AFP retracted the article they didn't update their information. What they don't tell you though is that before the war on drugs about the same amount of people were being killed by Drug Dealers. So were all those people killed by Cops or were some killed by Drug Dealers?

    I believe 2500 people were killed in Thailand during a 3 month period during the war on drugs which was higher than usual I think about double. The Press I think AFP then claimed they were extra judicial killings but hey had no evidence and later retracted their original article. Many Human Rights organizations condemned The War On Drugs based on the AFP article but never retracted their claims after AFP retracted their own article.

    There's more going on here than meets the eye but this is in international news and damages Thailand's reputation so there will be a big cover up for sure. Not long ago since the Korat shooting. Why is it always cops and soldiers killing people in Thailand. Very sad.☹️
