But the original decision not to update certain countries was made in the early 1950s and not that many people had heard much about Thailand other than the Bridge on the River Kwai film. Even  returning FEPOWs were almost ignored by the government of the times.

The Real reason is whether or not the UK has a reciprocal pension agreement with that country so, for example it does with the USA and not with Australia or Thailand come to that so if you emigrate to the USA you get the indexed state pension but not if you emigrate to Australia or Thailand! Easy peasy.

Take minor road parallel to river Ping from Superhighway heading north with the river on your left. 

In about 2.5kms arrive at Fa Ham Village. Still heading in a northly direction find the small klong with a narrow lane running parallel to it, on the right. This leads to the middle ring road 3029, in about 3kms or less. Turn left against the traffic using the footpath which doubles as a cycle track and go under the ring road. Shortly take the 1st left and go a further 3kms until you come to the outer ring road 121. Cross this and explore the many country lanes beyond.

" So far they have no clues to which unit it belongs, said a police spokesperson."

 

so they can't ask at "roll call" or at a start of a shift who was driving a truck in and out of the compound? if only to get everyone on the record?

 

 

Very funny! Loved it!! Thanks for making my day!!!

He can't be an accountant, because that is a restricted employment in Thailand, for which a foreigner can't get a work permit.

So what are you saying: he IS a Thai Supreme Court judge?! I thought that was definitely not open to farangs!! 

How wrong can one be. Thailand:  never ceases to amaze nah shock!

Would you please be so kind to explain what the care of the Shins for the North an Northeast exactly means, besides garnering votes?

The free health care system for those outside the government employee's system or social security system (only applicable to employees of plc companies); the special low interest loans for  business start-up initiatives in the north; subsidised local housing; establishing decentralised local education authorities - all introduced during Thaksin's era.

farce, he was caught with fake rice deals, the only farce are those that think this is a set up  but then again you lot cannot accept the truth even with all the evidence, show how pathetic the ones calling this fake are

So you've seen the evidence have you?  I assume you can read   Thai and have access to all the Court's prosecution  and defence papers?

Well that will show the world what these judicial scrotes with Junta backing are really about, if they did not know already !!

 

Just think that these morons have now emboldened most of Issan ( at least those that were sitting on the fence previously)  and many of the conscripts in the very army that is telling the judges what to do.  

Quite! Yes and certain regiments up here are full of these. Interesting to see what happens next.

" the families of both victims have spoken out in defence of the police investigation."

 

I thought that only one of the families had been satisfied with the "investigation"?

Correct. Hannah's family have never said this.

We'er off again..... I myself think this is a very positive move in the right direction and fair dues to those who helped bring this about.

   But unfortunately, as I was reading the article I was thinking at the same time "how long will it take for the usual scoffers concerning anything Thai to find fault with it"... Not long at all as you can see.

    One person recently referred to certain people as " loosers". I would be seriously tempted to use that lable in situations such as this but I happen to believe that negativity of this magnitude is symbolic of a mental disfunction that suggests the affected have no control over it and therefore it's treatment that's required rather than pointless namecalling.

Absolutely agree dotpoom. Some of the 'contributors' on here appear to be in need of psychiatric counselling st the very least!

If I remember well, one family expressed support for the RTP's job as well as the verdict but the other did not. Not at all.

 

So where on earth did this Reuter's reporter get his sources ? He's working for one of the three major news agencies in the world, for Christ's sake, yet he can't get his facts right.

Exactly correct. Hannah's sister stated she had been threatened by the mobsters on the island and her family have never agreed with the verdict.

The judge presiding over and considering the last (failed) appeal was THE SAME judge that found them guilty in the original trial.

I sincerely hope that an independent judge is to consider this final appeal, if not...........

I believe the Supreme Court judges will be different. Some slight glimmer of hope perhaps? 

Well  done you 2 - great to read some good news for a change!

I'd like to meet you and buy you a drink.

I am one that is willing to be taken out id it benefits the world. I would gladly die if it helped to bring the world back to its senses.

 The world needs order back. Borders have to be respected and protected against all people  that includes refugees. and illegals.  People have to stay in their home countries and work things out. America has to stop bullying small nations . America needs to let the rest of the world deal with their own problems. Capitalism with a military hammer is not capitalism it is military control.

  I say have a get go. Drop the worlds population and make them work to recover and most people will be to busy to think of becoming a refugee or illegal and will

stay home and rebuild.  The world is over crowded and no one has the answer. The answer is simple have a war that takes out millions.

Why does ThaiVisa seem to attract these quite insane contributors? Or is it because they've lost any sense of reason or sanity living here in their little bubbles with no contact with normal, rational beings?

I can't believe how stupid this guy is.

 

With his money and connections, if he'd dealt with the situation at the time, he would have ended up paying the cop's family what for him would be small change in compensation, and maybe been given community service, which he probably wouldn't have done anyway. Now he's in deep sh*t, and even his money isn't going to save him.

Here's hoping but.......

I like the direction this is taking. " end of life as we know it"  Life as I knew it has already ended. Borders crossed by illegals with support to do it by misinformed people. Political correctness,crippling every one. Women lib enabling the uniformed and easily lead. The world is now a basket case. It is not the world I know.

  I say let them go at it and maybe it will be a correction on what the world needs.Make nations make strong stands and stand by them. No more political correctness.  Get down and get the job done. 

   Let the war begin.

You lunatic you! We don't all have a death wish. Or do you think you'd survive a nuclear holocaust? What a benile response.

looks like I started a but of a spat with this post, but thanks for the info all.   I am a UK Citizen and so will use that embassy service,  which seems straight forward.   I intend to use my P60s and  my submitted UK tax return from April this year as my proof of income.  Does anyone have other info on this kind of proof?   

I use P60's + DWP Statement and that's fine for the British Embassy in BKK
