Somchai's disappearance a stain on the country's conscience: Thai editorial

[ppmacready]

The "who cares about this guy" attitude is disgusting. It would be great if many more such cases were being kept alive to keep the pressure on the police, but in the meantime we cannot let this particular issue die. Somchai's wife Angkhana and her children are very brave people and deserve our support.

I think the police in Thailand don't ''feel'' the pressure like we would in the west.

Its just part and parcel to them of doing the job.

And is of little consequence in this country.

It will be many decades until they do.

Its been nearly 20 years that the government has been putting ''pressure'' on the Thais to wear crash helmets.

With little or no results.
