Jay Sata Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) The high society spoilt young brats are always imune from any legal penalty while the poor are slung in jail for min misdemeanours. Not one single so called businessman has been jailed for forest or beach encroachment to profit from public property. Thailand justice system sometime strikes me as being akin to Britain centuries ago when stealing a wild rabbit would see the poor transported to Australia with a hard labour sentence. Chalerms son killed a man in a nightclub and never saw the inside of a cell. Kamnan Poh in Pattaya also committed corrupt crime and murder but has never served his sentence. The world needs to see more sad stories like this to understand the divid between rich and poor in the so called land of the free.

off road pat Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Have trust in the judiciary - PM Prayut Think about it smutty, who was in power when they were charged, convicted and put in prison ??????????????????????? So like Rob you are insinuating that the judiciary can be influenced and not independent........ Everywhere in the world, Judges are human and by this, influence-able.......Justice is never fully independent and judges have political and financial connections!

JOC Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Sorry guys, we are commenting on a non-story!! Not any of the "facts" in the OP are correct!! The couple was released 9th of January 2014 after serving only a couple of months (which is bad enough). And a the Appeal Court suspended their sentence last year.............. Sorry can't link because it is BP, but Google is your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterbkk7 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 This is disgusting. There are hundreds of resorts built illegally in national parks in Thailand and forest/protected areas. And their owners know that even if caught, they wouldnt spend a single day in a Thai prison. This is a fact. http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/forest-officials-seize-four-illegally-built-resorts-one-house-national-park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishJohn Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 They were not charged with picking mushrooms they were charged with illegal logging for they were in an area where an illegal logging gang was working and they got arrested while the loggers escaped. They ended in jail because they couldn't afford a lawyer to defend them and none of the human rights lot were interested. From memory they were completely bewildered as to why they had been picked up and had no idea what was going on throughout the trial. They should never have been charged in the first place let alone convicted. The human rights groups here are a sick joke. They are basically red-shirt politicians hiding behind a banner of 'Helping poor innocent people'. And our faithful BBC reporter Jonathan Head is mixed up right in the middle of them. I have nothing but contempt for low-life like these people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
