Nice to see Thailands honest and fair system is still performing well.

A rather terrifying example of the spitefulness of a highly placed Thai ( in this instance a proven liar and cheat) who has been shamed publicly, and having managed through influence to have his nemesis blacklisted.One suspects that the shame and subsequent batshit craziness was compounded by the fact his accuser was a unconnected foreigner.

Noticed this on AD's website today. Gives a bit more detail of the story.

Good that the BBC have taken this up and spread it to a wider audience.

He may be an academic, but he is apparently too dim to understand what happens to farangs that cause influential Thais to lose face.

[kannot]

Yes how dare he ruin Thaliand's international good name.

Cause someone in power to lose face and you are in trouble. There are much, much worse cases in the past. At least he's still alive.

Copy paste the thais name and we find he has a youtube channel with one video. Drop a comment there. I did.

Or he knows but decides to stand up for something.

I hope this story goes viral. Just goes to show if Thai's loose face anything can happen.

I see only one video on his youtube channel and only one comment and thats from Ellis. Reporting someone is one thing but them taking it to his social media is just asking for trouble and guess what he got it!

I would post the link but unlike Ellis I know how Thailand works.
