Thechook Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 When we purchased our block it came with a number, we had our address prior to building commencing. How did he register the land without a lot number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z42 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 As well as being a total crook and terrible liar, he is also a huge pain in the arse (and embarrassment) for his brother. I mean, Prayuth's going to have to come out and make a statement / make some shoot the messenger type threats now. Don't the serfs and pesky journo's realize how inportant Preecha is, and how far above reproach he is ? come on people, wake up.

greenchair Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Maybe his sons pop up construction business won a few more government projects to boost the family coffers. This story will be gone tomorrow, same as the high position his son received in the army and his sons new construction business getting government projects. At the end of the day, this is not responsible reporting by the media. It will cause confusion to the public. The media should stop picking on preecha and his son. It's not ethical.

klauskunkel Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Give the man a break.The planning stage of a declaration is a complex and intricate process, as it involves strange and unfamiliar foreign concepts whose monikers need to be carefully inserted at the right places to make it look good. Like "transparency" (that just has to be in there), "lawful" (always good), "fight against corruption" (another 'must have'). Lastly, "do you know my brother?" (it's a classic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandtee Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Forgetting about how a General can afford a house like that on army pay, it is obvious that this house is in Thailand. Observe the litter outside it with the adjacent rubbish bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just voicing my displeasure, and sure call them more then hypocritical I would agree. I like the effort to curb corruption (we all know its needed) but by allowing stunts like this they discredit all their good work. One law for them and one for us.. that is how it looks.

That is your view, my view is that far more people have been jailed and far more investigations have been started then before. Your entitled to your opinion of course.

Further, this guy should have enough brains and common sense to do things by the book and not make troubles for his brother and for the reputation of his wider family.
