Police on Wednesday morning searched the house of a leading protester against the controversial housing estate for appeal court officials at the foot of Doi Suthep mountain in Chiang Mai, looking for evidence of last week's banners.

 

Muang Chiang Mai precinct superintendent Pol Col Theerasak Sripasert led a warranted search of the Doi Suthep Forest Reclamation Network coordinator Teerasak Rupsuwan's house in Tambon Don Kaew, Mae Rim district. Officers also seized Teerasak's computer and phone. 

 

The search was an attempt to find any link to the banners which were erected on November 8 near Tha Phae and Chang Pheuk gates. 

 

The banners said in Thai: "Trampling on the hearts of Chiang Mai, dismissing the community rights and disrespecting Doi Suthep" along with the list of appeal court officials who live at the estate. 

 

Teerasak told reporters his group had nothing to do with the banners as it focused on legal challenges to the development. 

 

According to a Facebook page of network member Kumsida Paenthai on Wednesday, a fellow protester identified only by his Facebook name "Ton Reungyos" had already acknowledged a libel charge on Tuesday.

Looks like the search is being conducted on Google - Maybe that's Thailand 4.0 ?

comical.....

I thought you spun the magic Chinese dining table and ended up with a prize of police captains hat, toilet roll holder or mystery prize in a box.

It looks like one of those awkward birthday party games, when you realised you would rather be somewhere else.

Just to make it worse "uncle" Somchai is filming for posterity.

Mystery prize in a box reminds me of a mate in the bike club in UK who picked his prize marked Fork Oil. Opened it at the table and it was empty.

Whats in the BOX!???  Brad Pitt(Se7en)

What's in the BOX!? Kuni (Wheel of Fish, UHF)

In the box, could be one of those calendars that got them into so much trouble in Isan!
