Photo: Thai Rath By Thai Newsroom Reporters OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION INTO an alleged connection between a Chinese-born grey business suspect and a tour bus operator has apparently hit a snag up to now since the latter has been known as a nephew of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s, said an opposition legislator today (Jan.12). Move Forward MP Padipat Santipada charged during a House floor session that the investigation conducted by officials of the National Anti-Corruption Commission into the crimes perpetrated by the grey business suspect, namely Chaiyanat “Tu Hao” Kornchaiyanan, and allegedly involving M & M Transport Service Co. has been practically thwarted with little progress having been reportedly made by the authorities due to the tour bus firm’s owner being related to the prime minister. Tu Hao had rented a fleet of 400 to 500 tour buses from the firm reportedly owned by Prayut’s unidentified nephew to accommodate Chinese customers to his illegally-operated bars which had allegedly turned out to be gambling dens where they had allegedly used drugs in Pattaya, Phuket and Bangkok.

ignore it 1272 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Ok. Got it. But the real question is; Will these busses be available to transport the thousands nay millions of Chinese "tourists" fleeing the inadequate Chinese medical situation to hospitals and pharmacies for covid care and drugs to ship home? Will they be taking them to immigration for work permit? Edited January 13 by ignore it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
internationalism 8285 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) just on Wednesday 11th January Chuwir passed his dossier on chinese triads connections to thai government to Future Forward. That yesterday's Padipad's revelation might be already part of this dossier, but I think it's too early for this. And I think the most juicy will be kept for censure debate https://www.facebook.com/KhaosodEnglish/posts/pfbid02K1gAiQL7ngyNHqRBwRKZxYYn8K5gKwK42CnkBJG8TLAbY15QaF8LPAM4eYda29LTl Prayuth has only 2 nephew's, both already well known in corruption and nepotism cases. It would be easy to identify which of them runs M&M Transport Co. In fact his name is already revealed in press in related to transport corruption case. According to Chuwit, Prayuth's nephew Pathompol Chan-ocha conspired with Chinese gangster 'Tu Hao' to import 'Sunlong' buses from Malaysia, thereby avoiding Thai import tax. Tu Hao's wife (high ranking police officer, already arrested about 2 weeks ago), is one of the nominees in MM Transport. Article published on 8th January https://www.thairath.co.th/news/politic/2597236 And his background is in 2014, just shortly after Prayuth coup: "Prayuth’s nephew, Pathompol Chan-ocha, is under investigation for his construction company, which was awarded nearly 200 million baht in army contracts since December 2014, despite its record of not having any other major projects before sealing deals with the military." That investigation ended without prosecution, it was suspended by the anti-corruption body, NACC, in 2017. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/politics/2017/02/14/nacc-suspends-inquiry-prayuths-nephew/ Edited January 13 by internationalism 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
internationalism 8285 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Pathompol construction company has only 3mln registered capital in 2014, yet it was able to buy 500 buses a few years later. That thairath article link is difficult to understand in googletranslator, but most probabably khaosod english and the others will run this full story.

Absolute joke of a government headed by an absolute joke of a PM. That Rangsiman Rome fella looks to be quite sensible. Actually speaks with logic and thought. There were many reasons he was involved in the coup and anti corruption was not one. Self preservation was very key as there were some answers to give to the order to murder unarmed people and to silence a very brave witness.

Aussieroaming 6989 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Ask yourself, how did Prayut who was a career military office on a relatively low salary before he stole the country become so incredibly wealthy. He has obviously been training his nephew to carry on the task of wealth creation by any means. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
