Are you really looking to be bullied today by making more nonsense replies to a sensitive subject? 

Of course it's sensitive to us; the TVForum posters, but apart from a couple a brave young men who are agitating, the average Thai either doesn't understand or worse; care.

 

Did Little Toad wear high heels or what? How could someone 150cm tall get past the 160cm mark for Thai military service. Or has he simply shrunk? In all new pics of him his head seems nearer his body as though he he trying to get away from the activity.

Surely that would be the concern of the family, no one else, least of all Thaivisa members.  Does it matter whether he has returned them, what difference does it make if he hasn't?

Because he failed to declare them .thats what its all about.

Ironically, if he has died, that would be right.  But just because someone's name doesn't come up on Google doesn't mean that person doesn't exist, rich or not.  I don't exist according to Google.

Yes, you and a billionaire is the same thing.

What crap!

 

The simple fact is that men don't borrow jewelry like that, so I call BS.

 

Seriously, any guy out there borrow a watch from a friend so that you could look pretty? ANYONE? If a friend of mine asked to borrow a watch so that he could be 'bejeweled', I'd smack him in the face and say "don't be a chick!!!" Men do NOT borrow jewelry.

 

This is NOT credible.

 

Period.

 

 

When did he say he wanted to look pretty?

 

Just your opinion that men don't borrow watches. 

 

What really concerns me  / disappoints me is that a man in such a senior position is playing such a childish game of wearing different watches, not quickly realizing that he should stop it, allowing the controversy to continue so long, and at the same time occupying the time of various police etc., when he should have been focused on important affairs of state. 

 

 

 

 

The court of public opinion has decided and found him an incorrigible and corrupt man and Prayuth's promise of eradicating corruption is just a bag of hot air and an excuse to go after his political enemies. Plus the NACC is a junta crony corruption agencies filled with junta sycophants. That's all that matters.

We know that's the accusation but what it is all about is who owns them!

I think possibly the proverbial brown envelope makes someone a lot taller, when dealing with army or police to gain rank here in LOS!

I didn't say they were the same thing, neither did I suggest it, I said "rich or not".  

 

Just because someone is very rich doesn't mean that they are a public figure or that they have to have a public profile, does it?

Very rich people don't have to do anything. But they are often in the public eye no matter how hard they might shy away from attention. Especially ones who were clearly such dear friends of Thailand's number 2. 

 

You can't compare not being able to find a billionaire on Google with not being able to find yourself. That's a false equivalency because you're an absolute nobody.

He's dead, so he will not claim them back! Why bother? Ah! Ah!

I can if that person also has no public profile!

 

"That's a false equivalency because you're an absolute nobody". 

That's just your opinion (and anyone else's who now jumps in)!

 

Yea, no one cares about billionaires. This man clearly avoided public attention. Begs the question why he had so many expensive watches, though. Not humble in the traditional sense.

So another lie?

 

 

All lost in Google translate, he Originally said Pathological Sowrong.

He originally said the watches were lent to him by friends. And now it’s just a friend. 

 

Back in January:

 

He told reporters at Government House on Tuesday that he borrowed all of the timepieces from friends and only wore them infrequently. The watches have since been returned to their owners, he claimed

I tried the same and got three hits - all of which relate to this article. 

 

Odd that he leaves no electronic trail being so rich??

 

Doesn't even appear in the top 50 of Thailand's forbes list for 2014. (2014 chosen as he should be alive then...if he existed that is). Forbes thailand billionaires

 

So I wonder what business he was in? That needs to be the next question.

You'll struggle there. I think you'd need widescreen to include  a complete image of Prawit.

Yeah, tried it with the Thai name (pulled from a "watch" article in the Thai press).

 

Nothing other than other watch articles in my (admittedly quick) search.

 

And surely, since the gentleman has passed away the watches are part of his estate and should be returned to the family. Unless of course they were left to k. Prawit in his will (which will shortly appear methinks).

 

Ah, you can see into the future. The winning numbers for the next lottery while you're at it, please.

The entire watch theater has been running for over four months and almost all Thai people laugh about it.

The damage in terms of credibility is huge. And now, after four months, he comes out with the alleged truth?

Why did he not clear that up on the first day? Any other government would immediately fire such a member for damaging the government's reputation. This case has all the elements like Inability, stupidity, lies, negligence, etc. Is he still suitable to hold such a high office?

You ain't seen nothing yet. Wait for the "elections" in 2028.

He most cetainly did exist- until February of last year. A very rich man  whose company Com-Link have connections with TOT going back almost 30 years. If you can found someone to translate this article you can find out more.

So he died in Feb 2017 ...But Prawit was still seen wearing his borrowed watch on 4th Dec 2017 - (the date of the original prawit watch photo)...must have forgotten to return the watch. 

That answer should have taken about 5 seconds.
