laobali Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 One wonders how long a group of Chinese living/operating in that area of Thailand went unnoticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gigman Posted June 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2014 One wonders how long a group of Chinese living/operating in that area of Thailand went unnoticed. I do not think it was unnoticed ...Rather some police realized it is time to show now that they are "working in the right direction" to keep their positions in new Thailand scenario.... Good job general. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably many years, until the army start to clean up what police didn't want to. If you have a problem, don't call the police, they are the problem. Call the army instead :-) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmcsusnret Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Indeed Bangkok Hilton a nice place for life. Or back to China to face death penalty. The arrested "gang" is from Taiwan, Republic of China vice China, People's Democratic Republic of China which has the harsh punishments. They were scamming the mainlanders.

The Deerhunter Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Is it me !! or does it really look like Thai Police are their upping there game a little, No it's not just you. So, why are they upping their game just now? (Rhetorical question) A group of how many chinese runing a scam business here and no-one knew? Yeah Right. The general srtrikes again. These discoveries are going to go on & on. And still no police groups doing the "safety & rego" checks on highway 311 at all the usual places every day, since martial law started. How is the boss going to pay for his Merc and there must be a lot of meer noi's being told " Mai em ngung." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanTamo Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) One wonders how long a group of Chinese living/operating in that area of Thailand went in noticed. "The story of the Chinese Nationalist (Kuomintang or KMT) forces entrenched in Shan State of Burma and northern Thailand from the 1950s to 1980s is a complex and controversial history that involved Taiwan (the Republic of China), China (the People's Republic of China), Burma, the United States and Thailand and highlighted the confrontation between the Communist and Democratic blocks in the region during the cold war period." All sides practiced the fine art of overlooking a group of KMT guerilla forces on both sides of the Burmese border at the Shan States for well over 30 years. Its a riveting story of Cold War cynicism and duplicitous behavior. Below is a link to a review of the latest scholarship on this relatively unknown issue. http://www.harvard-yenching.org/features/tragic-history-kmt-troops-golden-triangle-1950-1981 Edited June 19, 2014 by BanTamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
