Don't you mean current PM in exile?

Right, that square headed scumbag is still running this country.

[Rinrada]

Seems that he nose-baged too many noodles....

...from "aunti" this morning....

Mr Vorayuth's lawyers say he had become ill in Singapore,and was unable to return to Thailand in time for the indictment hearing.

Prosecutors will seek an arrest warrant on Tuesday.

"He suddenly fell ill which made it impossible for him to travel back today,"said Mr Vorayuth's lawyer Thanit Buakeaw.

The lawyer denied his client had fled the country (Singapores in Thailand near Nana..??)

and said he would return in the next three days and co-operate with investigators.

He faces a maximum of 10 years in jail on charges of causing death through reckless driving and failing to stop to help the victim.

Thailand is to justice what whales are to jumping jacks.

If I had been friends with the woman who lost her husband, I would have advised she demand 15 billion baht to drop charges. On 2nd thought, she might have sooner got a bullet to her brain if she had done that.

If ever Thailand needed ambulance chasing lawyers this was a case.

Even terrorists get free lawyers. Any self respecting lawyer would have started negotiating at 250mn.

This bloke has got to be setting a new record for the longest cold. I've got a bunch of codril cold and flu pills I could send to Singapore if anyone knows where he is convalescing.

[Gonzo the Face]

Strange coincidence ??? Maybe yes , Maybe no

Must be something in the Convicts Book on Bail Jumping that the connection is anything tied to the word ' Red '

Red Bull

Red Shirts

next up more ... Red Bull Shirt

He'll probably end up in Dubai, as that's were Thai criminals like to hang out.

[A1Str8]

He is still abroad?? I thought he is back already. I mean he said he was going to come back as he is innocent.

Must be a very bad cold. Poor bloke.

I doubt he'll be back until all the brown paper envelope work is done.

"on three counts, including speeding, for the hit-and-run accident that killed a policeman."

I guess it was too much of a chore for the reporter to actually list the three charges.

[Lammbock]

Lies! Lies! so many Lies! ...and no more word of his drug abuse (cocaine) wile driving!

Amazing Thailand!

It depends on when the little weasel faces justice.

[rametindallas]

What is he going to get for speeding anyway, a 1000B fine?

Drop it and do the little turd on the other charges.

The speeding charge keeps it from being a simple 'accident'. The speeding makes a 'negligent homicide' charge justifiable.

[rametindallas]

I would have done the same , He knows that he is in serious trouble now . And because of all the media attention he can't buy his way out the easy way .

He probably will get of the hook , but it will take a while .

Anyway i can't name anybody that would like to spend time in a Thai prison

Too bad his daddy is not Pol. Capt. Chalerm Yoobamrung. He'd be back in a year and get some kind of promotion also.

[rametindallas]

still waiting on the speeding charge?surely they can do a check on the damaged car to acertain the speed he was travelling at or do i watch too many csi shows ........

There's lots and lots of video footage of him speeding.

[rametindallas]

Too bad gambling is illegal in Thailand ((( ))), otherwise I would like to place a bet on the chance that this criminal is never going to do any time in prison...

Can you even start to imagine what would be the outcome of this show-'trial' if it was a foreigner who did the same things?!?!?

I rest my case We all know the outcome already

Nobody in Thailand will take your bet.

Maybe it is time the army hunts this kid down to stand up to his charges. Throw him in the can and let him wait until they have a goverment back up and running and put him on trial.

Shouldn't that be the job of the police?

It's been their job since day 1 - so far not much of a result.

Yes even though it was one of their own killed in horrific circumstances. I assume the civil side of this has been taken care of by paying off the family but that does not negate criminal proceedings.

[givenall]

It's this kind of stuff that stops the rest of the world from taking Thailand seriously...

You can talk seriously only if you have lot of money

And maybe not the only ones paid off, but then this might change with the recent shake-up of the police heads.
