Take a good look. He pushes her head away with an open palm. There was no hit or strike or punch. He’s a jerk, but there’s no point making up what happened just to appease the masters who make up click bait headlines. Look at the video and make up your own mind.

You are delusional if you think an elite like Prawit is going to wai or apologize to a commoner. SHE might have to do so to him, depends how much pressure is exerted on her boss.

For goodness sake. He had his hand open and kind of pushed against her head 3 maybe 4 times. He’s a doddery old man in his 80’s. I doubt she felt anything. Whats frightening is not this “assault”, it’s that a man who is well past mental competency is still in a position of some, any, power.

The people did rise up. They voted for Move Forward didn’t they? What do you think they should do? Take pitchforks and shovels and march on Bangkok? Fat lot of good THAT did last time round. We all saw what happens if there is civil disobedience.

So Phua Thai who DIDNT win the most votes in the election, get their second stab at appointing a Prime Minister. I wonder when Move Forward who DID win the most votes will get a go? Never of course.

Any bets on how long till the next coup?

Because these are low grade factory jobs that require no English proficiency?

Hub time! 🎉🎉

Indeed. It’s also strange that after informing his girlfriend/family that he was returning home early, he doesn’t seem to have said why. At least, it’s not reported. i would have thought that in a normal conversation it would be along the lines of “I’ve decided to come back early because …xyz reason”. Suggests he encountered some kind of conflict be it mental or physical, rather than the usual shacking up with some girl he met.

Unless the son has a known medical and/mental health issue, it seems that the family is somewhat over protective. I could see why a “ child” might want to escape from that.

Well, a couple of points: 1. at a high level, if you want people to bring money in, you’d better make sure that it is easy for them to get it out! Otherwise they won’t bring it in. 2. at a lower level, how about stopping the mis selling practiced by more than one major bank, where when applying for an atm card, a customer is forced to buy accident insurance, even if they can prove they already have adequate accident insurance. Without free movement of capital and adequate consumer protection regulations that are enforceable, Thailand isn’t going to be the hub of anything in the financial world.

You ain’t going to get any Chinese staying at the Grand Hyatt. THATS for sure. ghosts and all that.

Yesterday it was confirmed as cyanide poisoning. So why bring up this snake poison? I mean, either they did an autopsy and identified the cause of death, or they didn’t. Yesterday the doctor who did the autopsies confirmed cyanide poisoning. Why this wild goose chase?

…..until they change it back. Personally I wouldn’t rely on this. Take advantage of it while it lasts, but don’t rely on it would be my advice. FWIW

…and a river. With activities on the river ie tubing. Heavily promoted water activities. Hardly surprising people wander around in swimsuits.

How about a parallel crackdown on locals illegally selling alcohol to tourists?

Well, the article quoted that cyanide was found in a number of cups and two bottles and one blood sample. So, I assume blood samples would be taken from all bodies, no point to just test one. Therefore, how come cyanide was only found in one blood sample? Some assumptions of course. Is the information correct or just someone leaking incorrect facts. Was only one blood sample tested? I’ve no idea. But just the way that the article states that one blood sample was found to have cyanide in it, sounds weird. Surely you test all six and determine whether cyanide is present in all?

Exactly. Unless there was a camera in the room, how could they possibly know which one of the six poisoned the other five and then themselves? And that assumes that no other party was involved, which is not yet proven. It’s all speculation at this point and the cops are silly to allow details to be “released”. It just creates confusion where there is no clarity

A very forlorn hope I am afraid. The article clearly states they are just quoting from a police informant and the words they use are identical to other news outlets. There is no corroboration of any actual FACT at all.

Yeah, but it hasn’t been two days and seemingly they all died at the same time. Not even sure any autopsies have been done yet, but surely they would be done at the same time? This is Bangkok, not some one horse town. Question remains, why only cyanide in one blood sample?

If they all died, why wouldn’t cyanide be found in the blood system of all six? Otherwise how could they have died from cyanide poisoning?

We are talking about the grand Hyatt 5 star hotel in Bangkok. A different kettle of fish entirely

Surprised at that conclusion. six people go in, a 7th person outside,causes poison food/drink to be sent in which is ingested by the six in the room. Maybe not the MOST likely, but appears possible, given that most poisoners like to get away with their crime and live another day. Entry records of food and drink appears as important as records of people entering. no doubt all will be revealed. What am I saying! This is Thailand, nothing will be revealed

We need a bigger shrine. 😬

The New York Times is hardly corroboration. In any case they are just quoting from the same unofficial police sources that every other news outlet is quoting.
