It appears that the Thai authorities only showed a willingness to meet the obligations it has signed up to when the story made international headlines. While there was no media attention they allowed foreign officials to apprehend someone not even officially in this country and both Prawit and Surachate were happy to see her returned to Saudi. Only when the news spread around the world did they discover the necessity to apply the correct international standards. They really are doing their best to drag Thailand as a country down to their own personal level of intolerance and respect for international laws.

Its a pity that more of the corruption in thailand doesnt make headlines overseas.

Primitive, backward countries like Saudi Arabia who fly murder squads to other countries to murder their own citizens, dismember them and make them disappear should be stripped of most diplomatic privileges. In fact they should be subject to special searches at airport security after what happened in Turkey to demonstrate to them what the world thinks about them and that if they behave like gangsters they will be treated as such.

The UK, in no small way, helped the Sauds start up their 'Kingdom'. 

 

The Saudi Arabia, that we know today, is simply a puppet of the west. They are being used by the US (and UK) to create turmoil in the region. The amount of arms and technology that has been sold to them is staggering. US, UK, Canada etc,, have sold* close to 200 Billion dollars, down the years to Saudi

 

Saudi Arabia has been left off various western lists. One is the UK's list of countries that execute their people. Strange that!! But not when you consider the 'close ties' that the 'moral' UK has with Saudi.

 

* Perhaps 'sold' is the wrong term in US's case, as the weaponry is traded for both oil and interest on Petrodollar bonds.

Indeed. How many times has Thailand deported people officially under the protection of the UN?

 

Mainly to China of course... mustn't forget the usefulness of brown-nosing...
