I thought that strange and unusual at the time the case/arrest was first reported. BJ was involved as a policeman or adviser in far more affairs than just immigration. The same was true when he was deputy at the tourist police. This case had nothing to do with immigration and was more a high profile case perhaps connected to BJ's role in the TACTICS force.

I claim to have a PHD in the Cuningulist arts, (and many females would agree) but I also know I am full of myself.

At least in Germany it’s illegal to call yourself "Dr." without a postdoc. Edited July 4, 2019 by kandi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorecard Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Ulic said: I have never really understood this case. All makeup and beauty companies exaggerate the ability of their products to "turn back the clock" so to speak, and all those who wear makeup seek to pull the wool over other people's eyes and "defraud" them into believing the person wearing the makeup is more beautiful than they actually are. Indeed, viewing some of the transformations on YouTube the transformations of some are truly astounding. I am not really sure why she, and celeberadies in Thailand who have endorsed beauty products have been charged. Thais must be exceptionally gullible to believe the veracity of claims made to actually believe the claims fully. Akin to alchemists of an age past actually being able to turn lead into gold. Another poster mentioned she claimed she's a doctor and isn't. Edited July 4, 2019 by scorecard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Interesting balancing act here. The 'public servants' have a job that includes protecting the public from exaggerated product and services claims. But that's in a country where defamation litigation is used like a sledge-hammer. It will be interesting to see how the court rules on this one.

However, in say, more enlightened countries, another key consideration is that of opinion. That's why if I log onto my favorite Travel website and rate my stay at a hotel - and I rate it really, really poorly because in my opinion the product and services were inferior to my expectations of the claims of the hotel's advertising - no court in my countries is going to rule in favor of the hotel is I tried to sue me for libel in court, especially if I can counter there claims with hard fact. Which is another consideration - fact. Factual evidence can be neither libelous of defamatory. Here in Thailand though..... Sledge-hammer! Aversion to criticism is baked into the fabric of the culture and is reflected in their legal structure. Again - it will be interesting to see how the court rules on this one and if the officers file their own counter-suits. Criticize at your own peril - even in an official capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krataiboy Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Wonder if she'll go after the newspapers who carried Big Joke's allegedly libellous (or more accurately, slanderous) statements?

It did, "Xeping was accused of making exaggerated claims in her beauty business", perhaps she was making exaggerated claims about her business?

Libel is for the written word; spoken defamation would be slanderous. Unless, of course, it's the translators mistake. It's safe to assume that the accusations that were made about her and charges that were made against her had been made in writing.
