Oziex1 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I read that a house speaker quoted to a source I cannot mention that this is a plot to discredit Thailand's aviation industry. What the reporter failed to ask or even to mention is 'how?'. No plots required they're doing a great job of screwing their aviation industry themselves.

jobwolf Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Would this excuse work? "It was an honest mistake!" Worked in the highest court in Thailand... Why would he get full support, he is retired!! If he is elderly and can not remember, why is he on such a trip and then comes home not remembering why he went!!! Even a Policeman should be defended by a Lawyer and not by the Government.

Fullstop Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) But on the return trip, he put it in a medicine bag, which he then placed in his handbag. So he KNEW he was being naughty and tried to HIDE it. Guilty. Lock him up. Any other action would make a mockery of the Japanese legal system. Prawut said Camronwit had forgotten the gun was in the medicine bag. BullSh!t "The gun is very small, a little bigger than a car key chain," he said. Can it KILL people? ... you buffalo. LOCK HIM UP!

fred Kubasa Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 What makes Thailand, partially, so AMAZING is that they will spend so much time & money to defend a CRIMINAL which, under Japan law, he is ! Think they would do similar for a holidaying Thai farmer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLSEEINGEYE Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 What a mess. The excuses from the local side are so transparent that I doubt the Japanese will fall for any of them. Since the Thais are putting so many resources into getting this General out of his own mess, they will probably end up letting him off with a slap on the wrists in the interests of diplomacy. We can all dream that he is punished as any other would be. Perhaps this is the excuse I needed to get back down to the temple for a bit of 'tum boon' I do wonder why 80 people were over there looking at a waste facility though. Seems like an ironic waste of resources in itself. And what does a retired cop have to do with this facility? What input could he have for this?

Due to the extremely large number of Thai officials/ex officials applying for leniency as they are insane, the courts are deluged and can no longer accept these, ( probably valid ), pleas !

mike324 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 As a high ranking police officer, he still does not know that he cannot take a gun abroad in a foreign country unless providing security for politicians or the royals...dumb dumb dumb hope he gets some jail time, tax payers should not be paying for his silly mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realenglish1 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 You know I don't think an intelligent man as he is would have tried to take a gun knowingly into Japan. What for ? He did not because a Police chief out of stupidity. All you negative ones that say he knew. I am glad a case cannot be tried here in TV. EVERYONE would be guilty.

Yunla Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Prawut said Camronwit had forgotten the gun was in the medicine bag. That's some serious medicine. I'd hate to see the Healing Services list. I'm trying to write a decent joke to tell the security people at BKK, the next time they're dutifully poking their metal detector at all my metal prosthetic hinges. I'm working on the "I forgot I had them with me" angle for now, but I think this story has the potential for a far greater classic gag somewhere.

Prbkk Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Perhaps this has been raised already but I recall a couple of years ago that a senior customs official assaulted a security guard at the airport for trying to check him. So it might be the case that staff are wary of the 'VIP' set. I don't see the Japanese letting this go easily: they have extremely strict gun laws and are not about to make themselves look fools in the eyes of the world.

torpedo1970 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Prawut said the small gun may not have been noticed in the X-ray machine prior to his departure from Bangkok if it was in a vertical position when the bag was scanned at Suvarnabhumi Airport. This is utterly BS, but they need the smoke and mirror for covering up how it got out of Thailand too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arend Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Im sorry I might be missing something here... why would a retired policeman on a business trip to Japan to view a waste burning power plant even contemplate packing a gun and taking it on commercial flight whether in luggage or carry on.... what possible motive/ driver/ intention/ need would an invited business guest need for a handgun in Japan.. I could somewhat understand this scenario if it was in bottom of his bag .. a relic from his yesteryear activities but he has admitted to packing it prior and then repacking it in Japan into his medicine bag that if I read correctly went into his hand held luggage I could understand even have a modicum of sympathy if this was a situation where it was unknown by himself that it was in his bag.....i.e I forgot completely it was in there/ old bag I used to use years ago when i was on the force sort of thing ...... but he has obvious cognisance of its existence by virtue of the repack process in Japan and his reported statement that he consciously packed it prior to departure and thus has knowingly tried to board a commercial flight packing a firearm....... This just doesn't make sense to me in any way . Im not normally a subscriber to conspiracy theories but its almost like he wanted to get caught on return leg hence transferring gun to his carry on luggage where he would have known the screening capability was far greater than what checked luggage receives....... why ??? Who benefits who loses from this if indeed he did want to get apprehended on the return leg..... I agree, Why would anyone ever consider taking a gun on a plane esp in a carry-on? Not sure I would agree about his motive of wanting to get caught, though. Probably simply assumed the law didn't apply to him garnered from his years as a senior police officer and forgot that he is just a civilian now...

chonburimaster Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 What a "Thai centered" view and commentary! Full blossom of Thainess in action! Please keep that only in Thailand. Where law is strictly enforced, it really does not matter if you forget nor the gun is legit somewhere else. I really do hope that this guy spends significant amount of time in Japanese jail. You never know he may like it as Japanese jail is much better than one in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether or not this is a plot to discredit the Thai aviation industry, it's still a damning indictment of the careless/forgetful attitude high ranking officials have towards the safety aspects of flying. It's no surprise then that this is now evident in the IACO warnings being given to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
