September 21, 20169 yr 3 minutes ago, Basil B said: Punishment should be 5 years hard labour in one of CP's prawn factories. Then he'd become a tax payer liability. How about completely confiscating his house? And then give it to the local chief of police.
September 21, 20169 yr Good work, everybody even the hi-so folk should be treated the same. We are CP we can do what we want, sorry pal you cant
September 21, 20169 yr So much for the GOOD people of Thailand . But it is only 60 rai and nobody will miss it.
September 21, 20169 yr Never ending fraud.........from the som-tam vendor to the highest of the high!.........
September 21, 20169 yr Punishment should be 5 years hard labour in one of CP's prawn factories. CP prawn factories ehh? I've just contacted Fin watch and Andy's on his way right now.
September 21, 20169 yr Corruption! When will it end? Edit: See my sig. below. Edited September 21, 20169 yr by JetsetBkk
September 21, 20169 yr So no doubt he'll immediately be charged with encroachment and be served with a demolition order.
September 21, 20169 yr Yet another example of why there needs to be one rule for the rich and another for the poor in Thailand! It is one thing when needy family members abuse their conditions of use of Government land (that had been transferred to an ancestor for agricultural purposes under Sor Por Kor Title), and a vastly different situation when so-called "Pillars of Thai Society" have no qualms about criminally manipulating Sor Por Kor for their own personal gain, and even when caught out, continue to escape prosecution or even being made to pay costs for restoration of the land they abuse! Currently, it seems the Thai legal system applies the letter of the law in both cases, when it would be far more appropriate for the spirit of the law to apply in the first situation, and the full force of the law to be applied in the latter case. Highlighting this absurdity is the recent case of former deputy police commissioner Pol Maj-Gen Chalee Pekanan who simply refused to return land that the Agricultural Land Reform Office had been trying to reclaim since 2009 (http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/942580-alro-told-to-demolish-a-police-general’s-luxury-house-located-on-sor-por-kor-land/?page=1)! This dispute went all the way to the Supreme Court, who in April 2015 ruled that Pekanan had indeed occupied the land illegally. It also ordered him to dismantle all buildings and other infrastructure, but (as noted in another ThaiVisa article back in July this year) this order was defied and ignored (http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/932317-large-plot-of-land-in-khao-yai-owned-by-former-senior-police-officer-seized/ So, now to the Chiaravanonts. It's going to be interesting to see how Thailand's farcical law deals with this family, who like so many other influential people, have a proven track record of criminal abuse and flagrant disregard of the legal system (http://www.reuters.com/article/cp-all-chairman-insidertrading-idUSL3N17O2ZW).
September 21, 20169 yr Good work, everybody even the hi-so folk should be treated the same. We are CP we can do what we want, sorry pal you cant Let's wait and see. Although this is usually a futile practice when applied to equal treatment before the law for the wealthy here...
September 21, 20169 yr "Posted 2 hours ago · Report post This sums up the rich in Thailand. all that money but stealing land." You would think that a family with this kind of wealth would act smarter! They have also been involved in insider trading "thought they played with monopoly money" was their comment about this... and accusation slavery on their chicken farms lately. Very nice people indeed.
September 21, 20169 yr Can't tell the truth as you can go to goal for hurting the feelings of Thai national. Just ask Andy.
September 22, 20169 yr "..he would dismantle any encroaching structure and return the land to the authorities, Ratchai said."That's like robbing someone, getting caught and then returning the stolen objects and all's forgiven.
September 22, 20169 yr 2 hours ago, JAG said: Let's wait and see. Although this is usually a futile practice when applied to equal treatment before the law for the wealthy here... When the powerful, influential and wealthy personalities got prosecuted, charged and jailed, it is more than often due to the faction they alligned. The power on top dictates who to suppress and really no equal treatment. This is hierarchical Thailand after all.
September 22, 20169 yr Why arrest the property manager? The owner should be the one locked up Cant lock up the rich can they
September 22, 20169 yr At least it gives some Posters space to have their Rich Person Rant.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect

September 22, 20169 yr A waste of time, nothing will happen, no penalty will be paid, no corrupt officials will go to jail. TIT, land of high level corruption and it is not going to change because the people who could change it make too much money out of it.
September 22, 20169 yr 17 hours ago, shirtless said: This sums up the rich in Thailand. all that money but stealing land Actually, worse for the Kingdom is all the money, the capital, they take out of the nation while paying relatively little in taxes. The CP group is the worst offender.
