Mangostin Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Probably just a misunderstanding at the airport. Immo: "Savatdee Mistel, you no look quality toulist, something wong with you?" Mr Wong : " Yes i am Wong" Immo: "Ok you come with me" End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgordo38 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Yes another double edge sword. Thailand proves to China that they are their lap dog and it also proves to anyone in Thailand that wants to become an activist to forget it. It shows everyone on which side of the bread their butter is on. The days of free speech are fast diminishing. Activists today are the odd man out interfering with the decimation of the masses in. I see so many similarities to Hitler today in how the masses are manipulated its scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varun Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) He maybe a democracy activist, but not too bright and possibly a bit naive. He's just a 19-year old kid, after all. Knowing Thailand's history with China, he should have rejected the request, out of fear for his safety. Edited October 5, 2016 by varun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klauskunkel Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) Oh Thailand. Has it ever occurred to you to ask your Chinese friends why they wouldn't detain Mr. Wong in Hong Kong themselves, if that was so important to them? Instead they make you do the work for them and now you have Egg Foo Young all over your global face..., some fine friends you have.

To a nice cushy inactive post until the media scrutiny dies down. After all, he was most likely only sticking to the script... Those pesky journalists getting their hands on a copy of a security report! From the same article, even National police deputy spokesman Krishna Pattanacharoen was sticking to the same story, saying immigration officials had insisted Wong did not travel to Thailand. "I don't know where the news [of Wong's detention] came from," he was quoted as saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
