So?

 

Do you understand the role of a UN GW Ambassador?

Well yes but it doesn't seem to include those abducted and most likely killed.

This is what she had to say about the Junta government in 2017

 

 

The guy who is probably somewhere near or in the Mekong had this to say in February 2015:

 

 "I'm afraid of the NCPO (National Council of Peace and Order, the junta), but I can't keep quiet. So I have to scold at it. I don't want to die in fear. I can't allow the NCPO to deceive (us). I have a different way of thinking but I don't feel that such a thing destroys our (national) security. The NCPO is way too sensitive. It only knows how to use excessive power. The NCPO solved no problems at all, it only creates new ones. Increasingly making the old problems to become deeper rooted in society. I pity Prayuth. This (message) is really written from my heart. # Valentine  "

 

(Quote translated by me from his Twitter account,  14-2-2015).

The guy who vanished wasn't in a hurry to come back to Thailand...

My comment had nothing to do with him coming back, I was  simply correcting wrong information.

Did anyone mention international flights? 

Plus, it doesn't change the comment, a Thai citizen doesn't need a valid passport to enter Thailand.

"highly sensitive and complicated" is code for: the same thing will likely happen to me if I speak up. 

Another definition of that phrase is: I'm only a goodwill ambassador. do you expect me to understand these things?

That's a maybe, but if Cambodia don't want you there, no problem - pleased to get rid of you.

Absolutely. What a shame that probably 99% of the Thai population has no idea what really goes on in this establishment.
