Plodprasop in Ao Phrao

The sea is clean and safe for swimming, he said...... just don't eat the fish..

[Robby nz]

Is he the one who has so much concern for nature and the environment that he still has charges to be heard against him fof exporting endangered wildlife?

Or am I doing the man a grave injustice in confusing him with someone else?

[Thai at Heart]

Wait for it.

"I recommend that we buy, 250 extra oil skimmers, 250 mn USD, 1000km of oil booms, 100,000 litres of dispersant, 10mn uSD of coveralls, 1mn USD of safety gloves, 1mn uSD of safety glasses, and propose that we build a sea wall along the entire coastline of Thailand and force all oil tankers to receive or dispense their oil from behind that wall at a cost of 500bn USD Tidal flow will be provided by 100,000 long boats with brand new Camry engines at a cost of 1bn baht. I will speak to Yingluck to get the budget approved forthwith. Interested suppliers, please provide qualifications as to whether you can easily transfer funds to Singapore or Switzerland."

This guy goes NOWHERE for free.

A request for skimming equipment by this man or anyone involved in the corrupt system would be approved until someone told them, "no this is not individuals to handout and pocket cash"

They probably had skimmers and plenty of containment booms at one time, but they have been converted into movable fish ponds and the skimmers converted to watercraft for personal purposes. If someone were intent to cut waste, corruption, and incompntence within this system, Plod could lead the way to an inactive post.
