I always wonder why these criminals. Make there homes in Thailand? sic

If i had a large sum of money acquired illegally I'd be off to a country with no extradition treaty.

DNA proves he is not the rapist so his word that he was beaten into confessing is good enough for me unless the police have a video of his alleged confession.

When I first moved to Thailand I thought it was their Buddhist culture that made them confess so easily it didn't take long to find out the real reason.

But the main question still hovers around.... WHO got and where did the billions go... Name and shame them...

For a billion or two I could put up with a bit of shame. Prosecute them, jail them and strip them of there assets would be better and the right thing to do.

Last week they were complaining that Thailand would need over 3 million new workers over the next 2 years now they want to ban some people from entering the country because of their age. Karaoke bars are full of young Laos girls but nothing is done about this. Just banning all teenagers will not stop human trafficking but I suppose they will tell the international community see we are doing something about the problem.

Thais, who say they are “poorly behaved” and insensitive to local customs.

We can all be insensitive to local customs if we do not know what they are but everyone should know how to behave.

Doesn't look like anything to worry about in Chiang Rai according to TV weather

Lets see how the TVF barstool warriors turn this topic into a Thailand bashing thread

First post on this thread is an insult to anyone who condemns a country that allows child pornography to be openly sold on the streets on Bangkok. I wonder why.

Just because someone likes to drink in a bar does not mean your post is in anyway more valid than theirs.

IMO The taxi driver should have used his meter and the farang could have just given the rest as a tip.

Just like any visa can be bought here blacklisting can be cleared for a fee of course.

Notice to the Government.

The more you are chasing after her the more you are creating a false hero under the eyes of her supporters.

Let her go, let her disappear into oblivion, she is not worth anything, worrying about.

She has stolen or allowed to be stolen billions of baht and you think she should be allowed to get away with it. What sort of example does that set for the next PM? She should think herself lucky she will not get the same sentence as a Chinese court would give her.

Of course, shouldn't it be the case that these charges of the supposed fake b to b be proven first?

Of course you are right these charges should be proven first but to think that it is nothing more than a formality is a little naive given that it is known worldwide that corruption is a way of life for many (if not all) politicians here.

And I hope on her first appearance the court remand her without bail because she is a serious flight risk.

My farang neighbour finds thai girls farang boyfriends for 25,000 baht. i guess this would be classed as work. but could he get a work permet to do it legaly

TO BKKc1976 I hope you also adopted children and did not breed your own

A question for those of you who believe Thaksin is not responsible for financing terrorism.

If it was not Thaksins money supporting terrorists who money was it

I hope we see ALL of Thaksin's money confiscated as he is responsible for all the deaths that have happened in this conflict

no one should be accepting pay for illegal work

all the red shirt have to do if you do if they dont want to see anymore deaths is obey the law

what appears to be soldiers firing live rounds may not be so it could be blanks they are using to scare the peaceful red shirt protesters

Straight out murder..... I hope the prime minister is held accountatble

just a small detail. how can it be murder the man is still alive

anyone know how many red shirts left at protest site

this is the begining of the end of protests at Ratchaprasong but will it be the birth of prolonged terrorists actives across the whole of thailand
