Utterly shameless are the vast majority of the citizens who take all this without even a hint of anger.

But as the deputy PM of a country, it would have landed him and his buddies in a huge problem with much more legal ramifications from international companies making these watches.

From what I have gleaned, the Thai people generally accept if you get into a position of power, ie police, politician, government official of any kind, then it's open slather on lining your pockets as much as you can, however you can. Greed is good, and money is god. Edited March 30, 2018 by giddyup 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's watch the watches come back to give the cretin a time to remember, when he and his fellow fancy-pants get shown the door.

madmitch Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 This is a statement from Prawit, not the NACC, though I'm sure they will come to the same, almost inevitable, conclusion, which would lead me to believe that those particular bastions of virtue are just as corrupt as everyone else. Whether Prawit considers the case over or not, I'm pretty sure he hasn't heard the last of it. Despite giddyup's generally correct comment about Thais condoning corruption, this case does appear to have been treated rather differently by the public, possibly due to the Prawit's arrogance, perhaps even the fact that he has never been chosen as a politician by the public, maybe even his appearance.

Popular Post JonnyF Posted March 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2018 Well there we have it, nothing to see here. Bearing in mind the justification for the coup was fighting corruption, even the slowest of Junta supporters must have worked out what these guys represent by now. They've even got their equivalent of the rice scheme (Thai Niyom) to try and buy the electorate (if they ever have the election they keep promising and subsequently postponing). At least you could vote out the Reds. This lot have removed Democracy while keeping,and in some cases increasing all the problems with the previous administration. Thailand has jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl sees all Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) In the meantime the investigation into how Little Toad got into the Thai Military anyway; as his 1.5 metre height is considerably below the 1.6 metre height requirement, has stalled somewhat.

I am sorry to say that many Thais are so familiar with coming out with fatuous and totally incredible 'excuses' and lies for this, that and the other - that they are probably not all that outraged by Prawit's nonsense and in-your-face lies. It's a daily occurrence in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it wouldn't. The manufacturer makes the watches and sells them to authorized dealers. They don't know who owns/buys them. And even if they would they would not share that info. That would make purchases of their aatches plummit as no corrupted politician would buy any anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approaching watch manufacturers or outlets is a red herring as they would not break client confidentiality, unless of course they were given a Court Order to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it appears the story is all loaned by one late and formerly very wealthy friend. So, the story will be not his property so he didn't have to declare them and it wasn't his money that paid for them. The heirs of the late chum are quite happy for him to keep wearing them as that's what is friend wanted. And if anyone disputes it, good look fighting the defamation charges. And it only took 4 months to get to this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
