Lite Beer Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Deputy House Speaker Denies Report Of 'Gambling Drivers'BANGKOK: -- Deputy House Speaker Wisut Chainarun disputed reports that a number of drivers for Pheu Thai MPs were gambling right next to the Senate building in the Parliament compound.Yesterday, Mr. Boonyord Suktinthai, a Democrat MP, announced in the Parliament that he has been told the drivers were playing Hi Lo, a Thai variant of Sic Bo dice game. Gambling is illegal in Thailand.However, Mr. Wisut told the reporters he has dispatched officials to investigate the matter and they reported that the drivers were merely playing chess, not Hi Lo.When reporters told him there is photographic evidence of the gambling, Mr. Wisut told them they should phone him about the matter if they ever see any gambling taking place inside the Parliament again --KHAOSOD English 2013-08-21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaidam Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 This ought to take the heat off Wisut for the smoking gun financial trail leading from his office to the unlucky red shirt bomber that carried out the terror campaign in Bkk back a couple of years ago until he unfortunately blew himself into smithereens along with the apartment block he was residing in. What heat you say? Yes, you are quite correct, he was rewarded with a plummy PTP political position and so far as I know hasn't seen a courtroom for his misadventures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smutcakes Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 What a load of rubbish, 99.9% of the people from the top to the bottom in Thailand gambles whether it be lottery or play Hi-Lo or other variances/games. I am sure they have much more important things to discuss in parliament. Or sadly maybe not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomross46 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The drivers were only following the BIB who were gambling while guarding Parliament from demonstrators. If the BIB can do why not the drivers? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemac Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) I would not mind if the drivers were gambling with Wisut's life, that would be possible. He has no honor, integrity or credibility to gamble with. Edited August 21, 2013 by mikemac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratcatcher Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 "Our drivers are good drivers! They not gamble! You say wrong, I sue you!!! I burn Bangkok down, you liar man!" Would this gentleman, apparently ranting, be Mr. Boonyord Suktinthai, a Democrat MP. Is he deputy speaker or are my wires crossed here? Is this the same guy who spat the dummy last week and tore up papers and threw them in the air for all to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby nz Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 A stupid response, all he had to do was say quietly "thank you for bringing that to my attention, I will check on it and reprimand anyone responsible" End of story, no publicity nothing on facebook and he wouldn't even have to do anything except get someone to tell the drivers to be more careful in future, do it where you cant be seem. Now his denials and arm waving have made a big story out of it and trouble for the drivers and himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemac Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 It appears the guy doing the ranting in the above picture is Mr. Boonyord Suktinthai, a Democrat MP. He is probably going beserk because he cannot believe government drivers know how to play chess ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is totally unbelievable. easy way to check...get all the drivers together and a few chess boards and get them to play a few games...one suspects the drivers wouldnt know were to start with a game of chess... Hahah yeah if this story broke in a western country, for sure a media company would gather up a bunch of chess boards, get a film crew, and then put these guys on TV trying to play chess. But exposing bald lie that this one is not acceptable in Thailand. Chess is a game I love, and also a game I have never ever seen played anywhere in Thailand. By contrast, I saw chess being played a lot in Indonesia.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TackyToo Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 "Mr. Wisut told them they should phone him about the matter if they ever see any gambling taking place inside the Parliament again."

Robby nz Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I see plenty of Thais playing chess, motorcy taxi drivers and others. There is an old fella in the next soi from us who sits with his chess board and seems to have a different person playing him most days. But that's not the important point, what is, is that the gent lied about what the cops were doing even though someone produced a photo. Then when challenged about the riot police outside he lied again saying they were only traffic cops. It would seem his automatic response to being challenged is to lie, even though it is easily proven that what he says is a lie. How he has got through life to the responsible position he is in now with that attitude is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
