Pimay1 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klauskunkel Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 "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."

debate101 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CantSpell Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 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..

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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
