You reckon that was his double, a doppelganger, photographed in London at the family residence there then?

Can Thai immigration legally report the comings and goings of people?   Is there no right to privacy?   My guess is he will arrive unreported.  Or he may never return. There are greener pastures.

The thing that astounds me most in this whole sordid mess is that they made a big song & dance about it. Announcing to the press. Little doubt that BIG money was exchanged for this "service". Wouldn't one think it best to let sleeping dogs lie under the circumstances ?  Why raise a red flag ?  Now its become international news.

Something fishy about this news. 

Please come back to Thailand so we can arrest you and lock you up for life?

If 3,000 plus illegal immigrants can get past this formidable immigration team, I'm sure there are ways for a fugitive billionaire to enter under the radar !  

In a similar fashion, Yingluk Shinawatra was able to LEAVE Thailand without being detected!

...isn't it strange how a fresh eye-witness suddenly crawls up out of the asphalt and makes some un-tested, un-challenged statement to the police, and suddenly they believe them and drop the case..well i never!

Erm what was he  doing here in 2017 then?

Exactly!!!

At that time he was a wanted criminal. So why wasn't he arrested and thrown in jail?

"Mr Vorayuth left Thailand in April 2017, days before authorities finally issued an arrest warrant, and his Thai passports were later revoked."

 

It took the authorities 5 years to decide that there were charges to answer.

It wouldn't be beyond the bounds of possibility now, would it? It would make staying under the radar (media not Police - that radar was switched off from the start) rather easier.

[ian007]

So he must be in quarantine if he returned from outside of Thailand.... Or do these rules only apply to 'normal' people and not the super rich? Ahhh of course.... he is not a dirty Farang who will spread CV-19 amongst the Thai people.

and at all the Formula 1 grand prix. He was an avid F1 fan and had been photographed at every race since 2012.

So he was in the country while being wanted on a Interpol red notice and wanted by the police . Yet when he exited the country no immigration official thought oh wait this guy is wanted !! ????????

[shackleton]

This will soon blow over

Most working Thai people wont be to concerned over this

 will be more thinking about putting food on the table and getting jobs back 

The privileged class all stick together wont be many of them complaining 

The  policeman's family have been well compensated 

Cant see the Government backtracking on there announced statement its closed

I think he's been here plenty of times, coming and going as he likes. This new decision probably won't make much difference to his daily life. 

As we have seen before, certain people can come and go as they please. 

No questions, no quarantine. 

From the very top of the tree down to the heir apparent.

Money talks in Thailand. 

[eggers]

What a Farce!! We get pushed & Pulled around to get a Visa to stay here & a Crim charged w/ multiple offences gets off for killing a Police Officer some 8 years ago!! Money talks!!

He has been seen at F1 races

That day immigration had been told by Thong Lo police that charges against Boss had been dropped

Why?

I doubt very much that it has had any affect on business at all. The rest of the world, even if it knows where the drink originated, doesn't give a rat's fart about Thailand.

The police officer was killed in 2012 but Boss didn’t leave Thailand until 2017 that’s five years after he killed this police officer yet nothing was done to apprehend him WHY ?

They probably popped round to his house when he didn't respond to their invitation to come in for a chat, was told he wasn't in and then went away again. Then forgot all about him, being as busy as they are.

He's probably been in the country just prior to the announcement that they were dropping the charges, all part of the plan.

 

We probably won't see or hear from him for a while as his family wouldn't want him on the local radar due to the flack they have been receiving of late, you know, bad for business. 

I don't believe for 1 minute it's bad for business, a vast majority of Thai's couldn't care less and the others are probably smart enough not to drink the rubbish anyway, plus outside of Thailand nobody would have a clue about "Boss" and his antics.

So very thoughtful and proactive, let's hear it for the police: hip, hip, hooray!

 

I'm sure he will call on the police if he needs his bottom wiped, however, I don't want to read about it.

I think mummy still looks after his toilet needs, very similar to another spoilt brat who has a number of his family dodging for cover overseas.

That's very damning... why was he not arrested when he arrived or tried to leave again?
