BigJohnnyBKK Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 You must learn to distinguish from what you crudely describe as "Thai bashing" and informed criticism.I don't think anyone suggests Thailand is alone in the wealthy and influential tending to escape punishment for various offences including criminal ones.However it is a great deal worse than most developed countries in that respect and that can be partly explained by some fairly well entrenched cultural attitudes. I believe he was responding to the obviously untrue "Only in Thailand". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubik101 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Let us pray; We pray that the security official gets his day in court and that the pompous prat of an arsehol_e customs official gets handed a sentence appropriate to his quite awful behaiviour. Two years in the pen would do it along with loss of job and pension rights. Real world; eff all will happen, sadly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Soon you will have donald duck as ministry of interior and mickey mouse as PM .... Actually, after reading this news report above, I'm thinking this guy will be a likely Cabinet member candidate once he finishes his two month vacation. Note the article didn't say whether it was two months WITH or WITHOUT pay. BTW, I think you meant Minnie Mouse...not Mickey... to get the gender correct.

animatic Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) He has been diagnosed with a psychiatric condition that impairs emotional control. Sounds like a perfectly normal Thai official to me. And he would be the first one to upbraid an underling for 'showing inappropriate emotions' in the work place. There are only two acceptable excuses for excessive negative emotional displays; you were drunk, or you have a medical condition. So seems he went with medical condition as the face saver... Not a good one, because showing the excessive emotion, as he did to lose it on the security guard like this, is very, very, unThai when sober... Yeah his promotion path is dead and buried. And the face loss will be worse than firing him, because every day he goes to work all that see him will know he's a frozen fish in a moving pond, till retirement. All those weis just a little lower than before and never coming back up, the bow a little less. Oh poor baby.

yoshiwara Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 You must have led a very sheltered life if you think high ranking officials and wealthy & influential people escape justice only in Thailand. Suggesting that this is somehow unique to Thailand implies a childish naiveté on the part of the usual cadre of Thai bashers who haunt this board. You must learn to distinguish from what you crudely describe as "Thai bashing" and informed criticism.I don't think anyone suggests Thailand is alone in the wealthy and influential tending to escape punishment for various offences including criminal ones.However it is a great deal worse than most developed countries in that respect and that can be partly explained by some fairly well entrenched cultural attitudes.Thus it is particularly Thai that a judge when sentencing a privileged person will often hand down a lighter sentence reflecting the guilty party's position in society , whereas in other countries a judge tends to take the opposite view (he abused his good education and privileged position etc).You should perhaps pause for thought before accusing others of childish naivete when clearly you are unfamiliar with some of the basic elements in Thai society. Just saying things for the sake of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fookhaht Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 "He has been diagnosed with a psychiatric condition that impairs emotional control." Yes, the so-called "condition" is what we used to call immaturity. Should have grown out of that after his toddler years. How did he reach "high-ranking" government official status??? We all know: His "lord-it-over-the-peons" behavior has been rewarded all his adult life. And now it's been rewarded again. Hopeless situation. My sympathies to the injured young employee and thousands like him who will forever grovel before high-ranking officials in the feudal Kingdom of Siam.

canuckamuck Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) He has been diagnosed with a psychiatric condition that impairs emotional control. Sounds like a perfectly normal Thai official to me. Actually In Thailand I fear it may be genetic, it usually requires some effort to bring it to the surface though. The BTS security guard was a recent example. I wonder if he will get a 2 month holiday as well. Edited March 22, 2012 by canuckamuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
