You believe him, do you...?

Well, the article says they’ve checked with customs wether or not the taxes on the watches have been paid, which they have, by the guy he borrowed the watches from, so... but that’s completely beside the point! 

 

I just fail to see completely how borrowing an item like a watch could possibly be illegal.

Thai social media is bursting with negativity and mockery of Prawit’s innocence. This will definitely hurt the pro junta parties election chances. Sweet karma. 

I thank you for the first encouraging words that I have read in this entire thread.

Please Thais, exercise your "democratic" rights (even though your votes may get nullified).

I can read the article for myself, thanks. I asked if you believe him. Do you?

How can you borrow watched from a dead person? I did not know woman like his mother liked to wear men's rings.

Bottom line is for those who believe these excuses then I have some great beach front property in Florida I can sell

very cheap Lovely view

NACC finds Prawit innocent

correct legal term is "not guilty", meaning insufficient evidence etc not provided to establish law was broken and/or snowballs chance in heck they would find him guilty

I imagine many of us had thought we were "loaning" to Thai only to find out later we were "gifting"

[Aussieroaming]

Prawit will have to watch himself from now on. 

[Zack61]

The only surprise here is that they even bothered. We all knew what the final outcome was going to be. 

This guy really is a toad.

With such impeccable integrity he will surely qualify for "Person of the Year"! Maybe he will enter the monkhood to endorse that integrity.

OT: What about forex scams by thai consultates? Some won't accept Thai Baht. Overcharging in the local currency, e.g. 300 MYR. A neat racket! 

 

And no, the Thai government won't run a 2nd ledger in foreign currencies. And with embassies accepting THB, who gets to keep the surplus cash from these scams?

No surprise at all - decisions like this separate a banana republic from a civilized nation adhering to the rule of law.
I suggest to hold a yearly award ceremony selecting the most corrupt in a fun show for all to watch! A packed venue with thousands of corrupt from every government agency and the private sector. Millions of lesser corrupt who did not make it into the finals cheering their favorite corrupt on live tv - and for a special twist this year includes the “anti corruption commission”!!!
Never a shortage of nominees - awarded not with oscars - but bananas!
And the banana goes to .....the best thing is the winners can not even loose face - they never had any to begin with.
Fatty can wear his borrowed watches without embarrassing himself and gets a life time achievement banana! And when the ceremony is over the guest of honor- the PM can through his banana - which he is awarded automatically because of his position - at the attending journalists !!!

The current chairman and commissioners of the NACC are unqualified under the new constitution but the Constitutional Court ruled they could stay on, whereas the Electoral Commissioners were forced to step down due to being unqualified. Go figure.

I spat my morning coffee when I read that Deputy PM Fat-wit is even accused of such a heinous and unspeakable crime! I'm so relieved he is PROVEN innocent.

I am heartened by a former junta appointed National Reform Council member launching an online campaign to sign a petition calling Prawit to quit. The petition already garnered 81,000 signatures when it was launched. This petition will prolong the talking point and hope will convince Thais and especially those who still stay on the sidelines to come out and vote this corrupt regime out.

You mean, after all partying with Ganja, they would forget to watch?

Now you know exactly how deep the institutionalized corruption 'rabbit-hole' goes.  No surprises though.  Next up: Premchai will be found innocence all charges although his cook will be thrown under the bus.  Law are only for the 'little people'.

Did anyone ever doubt this would be the "verdict"? Prayuth was installed to protect the elite, those in power, the army, the super wealthy, and those that are connected. There was a zero percent chance of them finding him guilty. And the guilt goes far beyond the watches.

 

Now, since those in power never face any charges while in power, one hopes when they are removed from power in a couple of months (one has to remain ever hopeful), that the new administration will charge the top guys, and put them away. One can only hope.

Today he is off handing out land grants in Songkhla, not to be confused with buying votes.

[holy cow cm]

Prove it NACC! Show us the watches documents showing ownership! So much BS here.
