oh, it's so. i dated a university lecturer, noticed that her pin number was 9999, told her to change it. she didn;t and a couple of months later her account was emptied, around 80K. i told her it would be someone she knew as they would have seen her using her card and remembered her number, i even identified an individual. police investigation later, sure enough it was the friend i suspected. friend repayed the money, eventually, but was not prosecuted and did not lose her job. it's just how it is here.

A society that is so pathologically afraid of losing face, to the point where it will not impose sanctions, or penalties on those found guilty of moral or ethical breaches, is a broken society. A morally bankrupt society. Purification, and homogenization of Thailand is not the answer. Looking within for the source of the problems is.

So, you're telling me, that nurse at the Patpong bar the other night was not a real nurse?

Depends on what she was administering to?

The UK's NHS employ such persons. They're called Healthcare Assistants. There's nothing untoward here.

 

Vacancies for Healthcare Assistants

The thief could lose their job as well as face criminal prosecution. Really? She could lose her job? Wow. Such a hardship imposed upon a criminal. And she might even face criminal prosecution? Say it ain't so.

 

I think loss of job is harsh.  Surely there is an inactive post for her somewhere.  ????

It reminds me of this cartoon.

She might be an Orderly

an attendant in a hospital responsible for the non-medical care of patients and the maintenance of order and cleanliness.

The Red Bull heir case would be one.  

As someone else said. Probably equivalent of what we have here in uk a health care assistant.

Where's the rest of the article for context and relevance?!   

 

You can't, credibly, just type out one isolated sentence as evidence of the "Thai Justice system being so overworked by VIPs' appeals dating back ten years" as though it's commonplace and preventing the normal operation of the justice system.

Lordy, lordy be.  The  lady??  may lose her job and face  criminal prosecution!!!      How  about they get real  strong and give her a good thrashing with a wet lettuce leaf??

Reminds me of Puns for Europe many years ago. Lettuce leaf together as my marmite say and I'll betroot to you. I think the show was ' I'm sorry i'll read that again '.

She looks after patients in an ICU but is not a nurse !!!

That's probably correct. A nurse has a recognised qualification and is trained to carry out medical procedures, and sometimes unqualified people are used to sit and observe the patient or give them a wash. I did that as a student in ICU once- just sat with a dying patient, but I wasn't qualified to do any medical treatments. It would only be a problem if she had been expected to give drugs or carry out a Dr's instructions.

Go on, then, explain specifically, how the Red Bull case is contributing to "VIP appeals overworking the justice system" (to quote some other poster to whom I was responding).

Is the Red Bull heir a VIP?  Yes?

 

Has his case taken up police and the judicial system's time?  Yes.  

 

It meets the criteria, does it not?

Certainly, some aspects of Thai culture are holding back the country's progress, to the point Thailand is slipping behind other nations who it was once leading.  

 

Without a proper democratically elected government here, and I can't see that happening any time in the near future, the regress will continue to a point that if, or when, change does come, it will take decades to get back to where the country should have been.   

 

8 years of a military government has probably put Thailand back 20 years, and there's no end in sight.

how do you come to that conclusion?

 

Thailand was ruled by the military for a great part of the time since the 1930s, and yet it became the country we all loved anyway.

Perhaps you have an issue with specific people in the government, but IMO just being ruled by the military is no worse than by certain politicians elected by popular vote.

Do you actually believe that a "proper democratically elected government" is possible in Thailand? IMO they may have "democratically elected" but the "proper" is where I have my doubts.

Wow......just.....Wow.

 

Not my job, not my problem.

Although presumably one can get rid of the latter when unhappy. We seem to be stuck with the current 'choice'......

The problem with being ruled by a military government if the citizens don't have a say in who is governing THEIR country.  Government was taken at the barrel of gun, not at the ballot box.  

 

Thailand has so much potential, but until there is some type of revolution here to become a proper democracy, it will continue to be a 3rd World Country, thus slipping further and further behind.

As I have said, it will probably take a revolution, or uprising.  Will we see it in out lifetime, maybe not, but as Thailand continues down the same path it has for decades in recent history, constantly widening the gap between the rich and poor, I can only see some civil unrest in the future.  

 

I have no doubt when covid has come to pass, we will again see protests here, some turning violent, which will gain more support for the protestors.
