"Good news soon": Murder of German who taught English has damaged the image of Thailand, says media

 

Picture: 77kaoded

 

The chief of the Prachinburi provincial police said that he expected good news soon after he chaired a meeting of investigators looking into the murder of a German man who taught English.

 

"Mr Wilhelm" (name transliterated from Thai) was found stabbed in the chest at his address in Soi Bang Pakong 2 in Muang district on Wednesday.

 

The victim was a popular man with his neighbors and his death was bad for the image of Thailand said 77kaoded, thus prompting a full police investigation.

 

Pol Maj-Gen Naradech Klomthuksing was talking after an hour and a half meeting at police HQ on Thursday.

 

He ordered a number of separate task forces to be set up to investigate every angle of the crime.

 

At this stage equal weight is being given to the possibility that a family dispute, a woman or robbery was the reason for the slaying.

 

He smiled after the meeting and said that good news would likely follow shortly.

I'd have only expected this level of reaction, if it had been someone like the falang who recently got his citizenship...

Sad that the man was killed, but to say his death was bad for the image of Thailand, is beyond funny.

The actions of police and immigration here does a lot more damage to the countries image.

Will the good news be that after someone is charged for murder, etc, Thailand will then look good again?

All this will surely help to solve their main worry.

Wake up ! Reputation of Thailand is already made.

The over  riding viewpoint as usual.

Face not justice.

So if a particular murder doesn't harm Thailand's image, then there wouldn't need to be a full police investigation???

 

Do they have a "quickie" or "mini" murder investigation when "image" isn't involved?

That they currently have suspects under investigation, and expect more to be revealed to the public within few days.  

Ex wife - new gf - bf to one of the 2 previous mentioned, burglary gone wrong. Debt not paid back.

Multiple Taxi Drivers return money ??   ????

Ah, the old must-protect-the-Thai-image thingy go lucky. The cause of defamation suits, arrests, murders and other toys spun locally to shut people up.

What is Thailands image outside of their own little bubble ?

As many above have rightly stated, that it seems there are many things that "Damage Thailand's reputation".

Frankly, I think more time should be spent by these wizards on figuring out a way to repair the massive damage they have inflicted, in one way or another, on their own country. 

Time for them to remove head from anus.

it was already very damaged before that, should look for the causes close to home, like TAT, IMO, etc.,  not to the death of a farang  RIP

That ship has sailed long time ago... and yet we're all still here, beats me why sometime...

Currently, I am in Canada.  About three weeks ago, my receptionist's father, who is in his 60's was going to the market when he was attacked by a man, stabbed and his lung was penetrated.  He was taken to hospital where he underwent surgery.  There is a 27% chance of dying from such a wound.  He was fortunate and survived and spent a couple of weeks in ICU in hospital.  He is now home and resting.  The police "viewed" the CCTV and said the camera was too far away to show the culprit.  In other words, without receiving any incentive payment they would do nothing and they didn't.

'nuf sed.

The fact that Thailand had a non-native speaker of English teaching the language here is also damaging for Thailand's image.

 

 

The scary part, in my opinion, is the fact that a German was employed to teach English!  No offence to the deceased is intended as I truely believe the is no-one better to teach English than a native English speaker...which excludes anyone from the USA, Scotland, Ireland, Africa and NZ.  Which only leaves the English and Australians.  ????

Someone needs a reality check, from the news that has been reported in recent months the image of Thailand with regard to treatment of Farangs is abysmal to say the least.....!!!!

Does this mean that if the victim was unpopular, and not bad for the image of Thailand, they would not bother to investigate?!!

Doable but not that easy when you have a wife and kids is it?  Or built a house and bought land (wink wink ???? nudge nudge).
