His corpulence is a perfect visual representation of the word gross. 

You mean it was HIM that eat all the pies?

He borrowed the jacket from a friend (to hide the watches?)

Convictions mean nothing: Everyone and his uncle gets convicted in Thailand. It's the SENTENCING after the convictions where the system gets shown to be a farce. ????

Absolutely right, SABloke. And even if this thing were sentenced to 100 years, do we actually believe he would sit them out in a nasty, rotten, stinking jail, chained up and treated like scum? Or do we think that words spoken by a judge ('sentenced to 100 years') are, for Thai officialdom, equal (when it suits them) to the deed, the act? 

He will walk free, even if we are all told he is 'serving a prison sentence'. Words in this country mean absolutely NOTHING as regards reflecting the actual reality on the ground!

He will get a suspended jail sentence and the judge will cite his immense contribution to the country and the tax he paid. In any words, he walk free, period. Money buys freedom in Thailand. The poor gets 15 years in jail for picking mushrooms.

Trail due to commence early 2019 with the verdict handed down on the 1st April, an  outstanding outcome is already predicted. 

[djayz]

I'll eat my somdam with 10 chilies in it if the "big fella" gets any kind of a hefty fine/time behind bars/community work as punishment. 

The very fact that the humble cook has racked up more charges than his boss already smells iffy. 

 

Only days ago the ranger received international recognition for doing his job and now this lot are still clowning about making a mockery of the system.

Expect this come about.

He will be sentence, public attention brought to the drama - confined to a luxury minimal security facility. 

As a very short time passes and the attention [including the controlled media] is long gone, a secret writ of pardon will be extended or other lame justifications will be enacted. He'll be free to go......and most is forgotten. 

 

Thai justice, as seen through the eyes of the Elite/Ammat circles. 

Been of this nature forever.

15 years for picking mushrooms for the poor. Just happy thoughts comparing how many years weathy Premchai will spend in jail for poaching. Probably short suspended jail time. 

I don't know why everyone keeps misquoting this case - they were found guilty of organizing illegal logging and trading in illegal timber product.

Sure..

 

Can we get back to the black panther now?

 

I am very sure that the fat sloth-having been literally caught with the feline's cojones stuck halfway down his gullet deserves 10 strokes with a fly whisk and 7 days as a monk.

 

Anything else must be viewed as cruel and unusual punishment designed for serfs and certainly not for the fungiform Thai amart.

[Acharn]

A rich defendant with good lawyers can stretch the case out for twenty, twenty-five years. A lot depends on how much sympathy the judge has for him. Or the prosecutor.

[Brigand]

From the OP picture...looks like this guy could do with a prison menu for a while anyhow.

How is it possible that the lowly cook, who was probably just following orders, has more charges against him than his boss??

 

Anyhow I think a decision has already been made on the verdict here otherwise the boss would have already signed in with the others at the Thai Untouchables Expat Club in England.

Its all about the envelopes....the cook couldn't manage the proper fat.

Did somebody say corruption?

Nope, nobody said it. Charges were filed, strong evidence gathered, and the case is proceeding in the courts without delay. There doesn't seem to be any sign of corruption at all thus far. So what are you talking about?

Oh! such faith in the uncorruptable system of Thai justice.

The reason this hasn't been made to disappear completely is due to the dogged tenacity of Thais on social media who have latched on to this case like a pit bull.  Everyone knows that average Thais would have been prosecuted and in jail by now.  The wealthy CEO Premchai has money and power though connections that he can wield.  And should he be found guilty, he no doubt will be given enough time to pack up and flee the country in order to run his business from less hostile climes. 

If this so called Government had any BALLS it would disqualify Italian-Thai from any government contracts, then maybe this A###ole would get his just desserts

No. But there has been no corruption thus far therefore a lot of people's predictions have been proven wrong already. Premchai tried to bribe his way out. Didn't work. He made a large donation of flashlights to the forestry service. Didn't work. Tried to drag out proceedings. Didn't work. Now trying to beat the charges with fancy lawyers. But the ardent work of the prosecution has been exemplary. So don't cry about corruption until it actually happens.

Luckily, there is always a first for everything, but I like many others won't be holding our breath for a fair, just, and correct outcome.
