webfact Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Picture: Sanook Sanook reported that railway police connected to the central investigation bureau arrested a 65 year old man wanted on a warrant after he fled following an appeals court decision over the non-payment of duty. Sujit was arrested on Monday at 7.45 pm on the Bangkok to Chiang Mai #9 train. He has been on the run since a warrant for his arrest was issued in April 2019. He was a senior executive in a PVC import business for subsequent export of plastics products made in Thailand. He was prosecuted for not paying the required duty and taxes on imports and won a case in a lower court. But prosecutors appealed to a higher court and won getting a judgment of one year in prison and a fine of 175 million baht against the defendant. Following his arrest he was taken to court still protesting his innocence. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-11-17 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Get your business in front of millions of customers who read ASEAN NOW with an interest in Thailand every month - email [email protected] for more information 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bojo Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Any overnight long distance train journey on Thai trains is a pleasure, that's if you're not in a hurry and are an old romantic.......................You always meet loadsa folk, up for a chat, with good old fashioned Thai hospitality food sharing, a few vendors selling their culinary treats and the 'clickety clack' as you drift off, together with the early morning expectation of where you're headed.............................Just perfect IMO.............. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
