Because not everyone agrees with the majority of the posters on Thaivisa ? You'll be surprised how many members in here that maybe look at this from another angle without taking side with anyone. If we can learn more about the background of the two "scapegoats" from Myanmar it will be a lot easier to find the real killers, if they go clear.

ScubaPhuket Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Exactly. Why would the police brutality & threats stop now when the game has raised it's stakes. There's a widespread saying amongst thais... 'Foreigner know too much' & they refer to long term ex-pats as 'turtles' or 'tao' sadly enough. Exactly what their perception of the nature of a turtle is escapes me & doesn't really interest me. Roughly deciphered this means that anybody with a reasonable level of intelligence who has spent enough time in thailand & perhaps learned enough thai to be able to listen to them while they sit next to you & insult you in thai is no longer welcome in the country. They much prefer stupid foreigners who throw houses, cars & money at them without question then leave quietly when they're told to leave, unless of course they're very poor thais & are happy to feed off your western pension until you die, at which point, if you were stupid enough to marry one of them they have further claims on your estate. There are thai solicitors who specialise in recovery of international estates. I am generalising of course but anybody who believes that thailand's wealth isn't what it is today because of this nationwide scam is a fool. Every foreigner here knows this tbh & if they refer to you as 'Farang jai dee' or 'Foreigner good heart" than you know for sure that you're one of the stupid ones.

Fred Flinstone Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Everyone knows exactly who did it, and his fathers links to Suthep and Prayuth. These Burmese kids are innocent. The generals refusal to cooperate with the British authorities means he is now complicit in this miscarriage of justice. This isn`t going to go away and Thailands reputation is going to get dragged through the mud yet further, all in the name of a patronage system that needs to end. You are correct- Thailand has the ability to allow UK forensic Teams exam DNA and access the accused and thus confirm their Guilt, and then in the eyes of the world clear up any questions and doubts. Its after all a massive risk not to do so - when tourism numbers are plummeting (far greater than revealed) A worsening down turn will mean not just the 10% GDP that tourism brings in will be eaten out - But the Transport businesses, Food , produce , investment , and consumer markets- Westerners are important. So why not clear the air.? And the massive suspicion surrounding the case? Its very reputation is on the line? Surely it won't execute innocent men? Why not proof beyond reasonable doubt their guilt? Simple answer is ""THEY CANT'' They can't because unfortunately the unthinkable is true. These men are the sacrificial lambs- And the sheer horror of a marshal law state executing them will not just inflame the Burmese .*(And its other immediate neighbours ) It will horrify no end the west. This will be equal to or worse than the murders committed by still free people. A sickening cover up and snub that will begin Thailand's decent into true Darkness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artisi Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Tully... If everyone knows there would be actual evidence. What seems accurate is that everyone wants it to be someone "important"Yes and no. There is a mountain of evidence... and its concealment implies it involves someone important. This view is shared albeit circumstantially in some cases, and less circumstantial in others. So your opinion and your avatar are at odds...What passes for evidence where you come from? Actual evidence or Internet speculation?

Police look at actual evidence then create a theory of the crime. They may have to discard this theory and create a new one. Eventually they have a theory that matches the evidence and submit it to the prosecution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
