snoop1130 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 2-year jail sentence handed down to former massage parlour kingSukhumvit News BANGKOK -- Chuwit Kamolvisit is staring down the nose of a two year prison sentence for the part he played in the 2003 destruction of the Sukhumvit Square development.The once notorious massage parlour owner then turned politician has been imprisoned by the Supreme Court for crimes including trespass, criminal damage and false imprisonment.The crimes relate to the destruction of the notorious patch of seedy beer bars that once made up so-called Sukhumvit Square, as written about recently by James Newman in Vanishing Red.Early morning on 25 January 2003 saw a host of workers, commissioned by Chuwit, accompanied by bulldozers, bring down the stretch of bars without notice, leaving so many of the area’s proprietors bereft of their livelihoods.Chuwit later erected a private park on the spot, Chuwit Garden, which bears a commemorative plaque to Jesus on its main gate; an unusual move in a country which boasts a highly Buddhist religious makeup.Full Story: http://whatsonsukhumvit.com/2-year-jail-sentence-handed-down-to-former-massage-parlour-king/ -- (c) What's on Sukhumvit 2016-01-29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saakura Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Smart guy. Pleaded guilty, made a public park on the land and got away with 2yrs. Good behaviour and customary reductions for King's birthday should see him out in 12-15 months. Meanwhile, the land in Sukhumvit has appreciated in value 5 times? And land holdings here are not taxed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
