From the article:

So far Ms Kulthida has received just B20,000 in financial assistance from the Royal Thai Police. That was in February.

Is this possibly a mis spelling and they really said Bali denied, as the border between Thailand and Bali would make it difficult for him to slip over during this pandemic and his lawyers should go away and rethink of applying for Cambodia or Laos ????

Unclear. Did they deny him the right to post bail or did they deny him bail?

Bailed denied denied to a cop who committed a heinous crime. Unusual but good on the court.

[Dont confuse me]

Brilliant let's hope he stays banged up until the conclusion of the trial. With a bit of luck he won't make the trial.
