After spending over three decades at the Interior Ministry, Phuket governor Sophon Suwannarat must have thought he could handle anything thrown at him by its chiefs.

 

However, he got a big shock last week when Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul summoned him back from Europe to address a scandal in his province. Sophon had been in Germany to attend a global tourism event.

 

The problems in Phuket started when a Swiss resident allegedly kicked a female Thai doctor as she sat on steps that he claimed were part of his beachside property.

Maybe the first step should be to check if he or his relatives and maids and gardeners are usually rich.

Maybe he made an honest mistake, or two, or three.

I haven't got a clue what your point is. What has Thaksin got to do with it?

Well reading the full story he seems at least to have done a good job in the posts he occupied, corruption on his watch would be normal in any province but that doesn't mean he is involved although that would be unusual, the public needs a scapegoat.

Auntin should worry about his own actions and history. He is not a friend of any foreigners in this country. That mayor has done much more than he has ever done for the people there. Sure shtick happens everywhere. He should know that.

You don't understand it.

You don't have a clue.

Life must be difficult for you.

Just don't try to solve those difficult issues and live happy in ignorance.

I genuinely don't understand what you are trying to say. Please tell me. Your original post is incomprehensible then you give a link to Thaksin as explanation. This thread isn't about Thaksin
