A source at the Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission told the Isara News Agency that deputy prime minister Prawit Wongsuwan would not face any problems over the watches case.

Did we have any doubt about that?

The real problem is, they will not go after any of these guys. Not the top bankers, not the high ranking guys, not the provincial authorities, and certainly not the army, or the police. They are all corrupt beyond imagination. And the level of corruption simply escalates, the further up the food chain you go. They police and army are not expected to be honest, and they are not expected to engage in law enforcement, traffic or public safety, on any level. It is an irrevocably broken and dysfunctional system. Any hyperbole to the contrary, is just a smoke screen, intended to deceive the most naive amongst us.

The Anti-Corruption Organization of Thailand (ACT) is one of the most feeble and ineffective of all the tools Prayuth has used to deceive the people into believing that he is fighting corruption. Who was the last high level authority, in the police, immigration, the army, or the active administration they arrested, charged, tried convicted, and sent to prison? Nobody. Zero. Nunca. Nada. Why? Because Prayuth has had a mandate from the beginning to do the very opposite. To protect the elite, the super wealthy who are guilty, those that are connected, and those who are in power. Just think Dark Tao. Just think Red Bull. The list goes on, and on, and on. Only the most naive amongst us believe he or ACT secretary-general Mana Nimitmongkol are sincere about this. 

It barely matters. These guys are above the law. Any and all laws. The only time they are arrested is when it becomes big news, or it is reported internationally, and Thailand gets a ton of egg on it's face. And even then, it normally does not result in a conviction. Very, very few current (not former) police, immigration, customs, cabinet officials, army officials, or administration officials are arrested here, tried, convicted and imprisoned. The corruption here is never ending.

And to think that Cha Cha came into office with the agenda of cleaning the place up. LOL. About as amusing, and about as sincere as Trump draining the swamp. Nothing ever got cleaned up. If anything, things are filthier under the army, then they were before. When you have an administration that is built solely upon a foundation of cronyism, favoritism, and corruption, you end up with alot of morally bankrupt people, with ridiculous amounts of money. It gives them an Ivory Tower consciousness, and seems to foster a level of pathology that manifests itself as a dislike of the common man, a lack of respect for anyone who is not very wealthy, and a system of patronage, that only the toxic urchins within the army, the administration, the police, immigration, customs, and the elite of society benefit from.
 
For the masses, woe is them. And woe is Thailand.

You seem in more distress about Thailand than the people you mention . 

But perhaps there is a change on the way

All these little outcomes are recorded by embassies to go into their 'Thailand books' for the year, available to interested government departments to review for various policy decisions.

I wonder what he will be presented with when his 25 years of loyal service comes around?

 

... 555, how about 2 or 3 pairs of additional strap on arms/hands so he can show off more of his borrowed bling-bling at the same time?

 

After this ruling he certainly should, after all It's what it's  as another famously popular and beloved local leader put it not that long ago ...

      Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand

      Be very careful relying on anything from this company, that sprung up only in October 2023, and is running a heavy marketing campaign capitalizing on expat concerns regarding taxation. This is misinformation, is incorrect. Good example of why this company is to be treated with caution. Below are the facts on what info CRS actually shares. There's no way this information shared can include individual foreign ATM and foreign credit card transactions. Table 4 ( page 60) it defines exactly what financial information is shared which is only yearly aggregate account balances, does not include individual transactions, excepting the cases of income as specified in table 5. Source: https://www.rd.go.th/fileadmin/user_upload/FATCA_File/crs/Thailand_CRS_Guidance_280823.pdf Also, read the wikipedia page on the CRS , Relevant section, below: Each participating country will annually automatically exchange with the other country the below information in the case of Jurisdiction A with respect to each Jurisdiction B reportable account, and in the case of Jurisdiction B with respect to each Jurisdiction A reportable account:[16] 1.Name, address, Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and date and place of birth of each Reportable Person. 2.Account number 3.Name and identifying number of the reporting financial institution; 4.Account balance or value as of the end of the relevant calendar year (or other appropriate reporting period) or at its closure, if the account was closed. 5.Distributions made to the account (dividends, interest, gross proceeds/redemptions, other) Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Reporting_Standard

      Molar implant in BKK?

      It's you who has been caught out stretching the truth. 120k is certainly "north of 70k" 😊 But then claiming that you paid much the same as the 69k that ESTE charge was just a blatant lie. Two years ago? Let's see your invoice then. Pathological.

      Silence Surrounds the Southport Attacks: A Narrative on Secrecy and Public Curiosity

      If you agree that it is a relevant question, and if you accept that the government were aware from early on, (hard not to accept really); then I am surprised that your intellectual curiosity does not lead to you forming or holding any view. Amongst those on this forum, especially those who are interested and think on these matters, you must feel very lonely.
