Isn't he forgetting something?

It should be possible to raise sufficient funds to provide a very good lawyer for the two suspects simply through crowd funding. There are good international human rights lawyers who would take this on.

I have lived here through the democrats, shin clan and now the army in charge. Nothing changes.

Before I get told to leave I do plan to leave in a few years .

Nothing against the populace as a whole but I wish they would join hands and force real change from all these idiots in charge.

Reward and praise the police. Thats real justice in the year 2014. Unbelievable. Why even make a lawsuit then? You can kill them right on the spot as the case is solved now.

Good luck Thailand with your brave new world...that pretty much confirms your total naivety or confirms that you're taking the p*** out of everything else. *sigh*

I take it you haven't read Aldous Huxleys "Brave New World" Thailand had a similar type of Brave New World long before Huxley ever wrote it! you just have to read between the lines! to get the message!

And the Thai bashing continues.....

I don't know if you can see the history of my posts, but I generally only post when I have something informative or positive to say. My mother taught me "if you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all". I've been a member for many years and have relatively few posts.

Also, if you can review my previous posts, you'll see that I've never engaged in "recreational Thai bashing". Indeed, you'll see that I've generally defended Thais. I believe to this day (having lived here 8 years) that the average Thai is a very caring and moral person.

I won't defend their driving habits, but that another issue. I will also say that the police are the last people here I would call for help; that, also, is another issue.

I love living in this tropical paradise among some of the most beautiful people I've ever known; that's why I'm here and hope to never leave. For sure I'm not living in Kansas anymore Toto, but everyday is a bit of new adventure and I love it.

"Foreigners" are always an easy scapegoat anywhere, not just here. For sure, sometimes they are the culprits. My own personal experience is that my next eldest brother was murdered by Nicaraguans in Los Angeles (who fled the country the same day). Sure it happens.

All that said, I have some very disturbing "gut feel" ("sniff test") concerns about what is happening here. We should not forget that migrant workers are probably here just trying to find a better life for their families back home, which I think any of us would be doing in similar circumstances.

I simply hope that the real culprits are identified, and most importantly, the families involved can find some peace and closure.

BTW I have read "Brave New World". It made a lot of sense in my innocent world when I read it (~16 years old), but not so much now.

Words really do fail me .

HEY!!! Yeah blame on it! Rewards for what? Doing thair jobs...? Come On... Slappy, Corrupt, Soso job done... Tragic... RIP!

What a great remark by the general. He asks "wold the "killing" stop if I lifted martial law. Boy does he know how to put the pesky press in their place. What a guy.

I've seen better Police in...Mexico.

Stop the Thai bashing , if you don't like it why you're staying in Thailand? Go home to your perfect western world.

Oh.... My.... God....

Having read most of your posts I thought you were just a thai sympathiser but now I realise that you're either thai or delusional.

'If you don't like it, go home'? Ring any bells for anyone?

Guess i shouldn't write what i think.

"General Prayuth said he could not predict that tourism situation would be improved or not after the successful resolving of the murder case because there are other factors which may have impacts on the tourism industry."

Other factors? Like they didn't get the real murderers and covered up the case by presenting to the public the scapegoats?

Apart from the whole ludicrous situation he's a at least honest enough to say nothing about tourism but his Minister of Tourism and others involved with that industry can't stop talking and embarrassing the country by making it clear saving tourist revenue is their ownly concern and two innocent deaths are nothing more than an inconvenience.

General you really should tell them to shut up !

Love it or leave it?

I was in the US military during this period in the US, and lost a lot of good friends (doing our duty).

Barry Goldwater was not my friend,

Extremely distasteful to me.

Have you ever heard about Freedom of Speech?

I am leaving Thailand. But not to my perfect western country. But to another Asian country where I feel more safe than in Thailand. Where the people can not kill me, my children, or my friends or my family and get away with it.

Happy now Balo?

No regards

Balo,

regarding my posts #38 and later, have you nothing to offer in response?

There's an old saying about attack being the best form of defence so with all the adverse comment about the BIB's handling of the case and doubt as to whether or not the arrested persons are being fitted up the good general decides to deflect from the criticism by announcing a ' reward ' for the police team.

This is disgraceful but how many of us can claim to be surprised ?

If there's any sort of official ceremony to present the reward will the British Ambassador be invited to attend and join the cheer leading ?

It's thier bloody job. You don't give kickback to people for doing what they are paid to do. This leads to unethical and corrupt methods. Gees police will be running around setting up the 1st scapegoat they can find just for the reward.

Aaaah

That heart warming touch of the army. Wait for it. The apologists are starting up.

He isn't a politician. He hasn't meant to offend. What a total and utter ************

Repugnant , vile , treachery has its rewards in Thailand -

A disgraceful affair.

I wonder what the reward would have been for catching the actual killers?

I hope he is proud of his actions, proud that he helped framed 3 innocents men. FIVE people and there families have now had there lives destroyed, well done General, well done.

You have brought great pride on the Thai nation, WELL DONE....<deleted>

DEATH IN 7-11

Upon conviction by a just court of law, I'm sure he meant.

PM to BIB... if you solve this case, i'll take you all out for an Ice cream con and one

huge fraternity style picture with all your name and ranks at the bottom...
