107 Immigration police reported to Corruption Commission, plus-size pageant : Tim Newton Today - March 10

[webfact]

 

139,000 pages are part of a report into allegations against 109 Thai immigration officers over illegal issuing of visas, shooting in Phuket car park, 1.3 million people affected by air pollution this year, Thai horror film being censored... why? A new high speed railway proposed between Bangkok and Chiang Mai. And a plus-size beauty pageant in north east Thailand, for a good cause.

It is rare for any police person to go to jail.  I look forward to seeing a few convicted.  Pollution this year is very bad.  We live just south of Hua Hin and have for the last 13 years.  The euphemism of "dust" is often used to describe the pollution.  I suppose if you stay in air conditioning that will help relieve the symptoms.
