When Vorayuth Yoovidhya crashed his supercar into a motorcycle, killing a police officer, Yingluck Shinawatra was Thailand’s prime minister and few people heard of Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit. At the time, the majority of the world’s population only knew Donald Trump as “Mr Miss Universe”. Leicester City, who pulled off one of the greatest sporting miracles in 2016, were not even in the Premier League. The youngest member of the popular all-girl BNK48 generation was seven years old.

 

What looked then like a solid fatal hit-and-run incident that took place under alleged influences of alcohol and/or drugs remains unsettled as of today, with everyone blaming everyone for the fact that the case has been dragging on so unbelievably and pathetically long. Over the past two weeks, four committees have been set up that the public know of, and how many sub-committees those committees have formed is a question that would only make the case sound more ridiculous.

 

this was a big show of the corruption that is rampant in Thailand, it is what we have all come to expect. Thailand has different  sets of laws for the rich and well connected  to the rest of the populace, how often do you actually see the rich  charged unless they have upset the hierarchy, usually a slap on the wrist and everything is hidden away
