He said permission to enter Thailand for Wong "involves various factors" and the foreign affairs ministry was reviewing the facts with the Immigration Bureau and relevant authorities.

 

Namely permission from the mother country China.

Joshua's "nanny" called and said he can't stay over for the party.

People are absolutely free to say whatever they want here just as long as it's approved by the junta, quite simple really and totally transparent in line with policy.

Somewhere in the Beijing corridors of power someone will have been told to phone Bkk verbally pat them on the head and say ' Good Dog '.

All of Hong Kong should boycott Thailand.  Stop visiting. Stop buying Thai rice.

"The Thai government does not prohibit the expression of personal opinions on the political situation in Thailand,” said Thai Foreign Ministry’s spokesman Sek Wanamethee on Wednesday, "except when our Chinese friends prohibit it, then we act. And if we lose our face, or tarnish Thailand's reputation, so be it, because some things serve a higher cause than others. Like fealty vs. sovereignty."

Looking forward to the time ThaiVisa joins the government in this new era of openness.

I could prove him wrong with one post on FB. But then I guess I would miss my friends birthday party next weekend, or even mine next year.

Pull the other one, it plays Jingle Bells. Everyone in Thailand is stupid except the junta.

Not limiting free expression, not violating human rights, not corrupt, not a military d----, not self-serving, not responsible for the struggling economy, not involved in unduly influencing court cases, not a pre-planned power seizure, not lying through their teeth at every opportunity, and no intention of clinging to power. We got it.

A foreign government cannot just "take back" a citizen who is in another country. That country must deport him/her.

What Prayut is saying here is that Thailand now considers itself to be no different than a Chinese Territory, such as Hong Kong.

Congratulations Th, you have now been colonized.

 

[Colabamumbai]

And how much money did China agree to give Thailand last week??

[chainarong]

I support josh in his efforts in HK through another media outlet, he has three other mates that are  giving the Beijing crowd the Sh!!ts, he brought together five hundred thousand out onto the street one time, he is for independence for HK and a popular lad in HK. Back to the subject here,  Liar. ..........................................................

Just loved the comment from the PM I saw on foreign TV about this case, went something like:

 

"We had to do it, can you imagine, if he told people we were not a democracy.. And people believed him..."

To be fair, denial of entry is not the same as deportation, which is forcible repatriation. A pal of mine was telling me about being denied entry into Indonesia over a visa issue (his oversight), but he was not arrested, detained or charged with anything. He flew back to Singapore, obtained the correct paperwork and was able to enter Indonesia without any trouble whatsoever.

 

That said, the 'Chinese officials took him back' flapdoodle is complete ball locks...
