Interpol? Is that known in Thailand?
The main suspect sharing a cell with the other suspect, so that they can rehearse their witness testimonies?

It shouldn't be anything different being married in Thailand, but it is to many. Marrying a woman you KNOW very well, is a key ingredient for a successful marriage. Marrying a woman who can't communicate in a language you understand, is difficult. Marrying a woman you have known from the bar stool and subsequently in the hotel room over the course of a week, is not a receipe for success. I met my wife overseas where she was working as a staff in a five star hotel and needless to say, she speaks very good English so after two years of dating I knew everything about her and she knew me equally well, we got married and have two kids. Also, I have never visited a sleazy bar in Thailand since I met her. Never. As a married man, I would never mingle with prostitutes in my home country, Thailand should not be different.

...what is his crime....
...what jurisdiction....
...only him and not the supplier....???
He is a Russian selling dope in Russia, so obviously his case is governed by Russian law. The Thai supplier selling to him in Thailand, has not committed any crimes, as his sales are legal under Thai law.

They also needs to show a zero tolerance on police corruption. All corruption cases should be investigated by units outside the police, and penalties should be severe.

Advice #1
Crack down on prostitution. Nothing makes thai people lose face more than prostitution. Many people think of Thai women as sex workers and the country's moral bad. If a country has good morals, how can they allow their daughters and sisters to sell their bodies to ANY foreigner? That is what people think. Anyone who visits Thailand will see it. Get rid of prostitution and Thailand will get rid of many problems, not only it's tarnished image.

Never the less, it seems to be a very good idea, in The USA. To be honest, it seems that some parts of the Police force, is a bit out of control.If he's talking about federal police forces such as the FBI, DEA, ATF, Secret Service, etc, etc, all of which are controlled by the Executive Branch he has but to instruct the invidual heads of departments to budget for it. If he's talking about state and local governments it is absolutely none of his affair and reeks of pandering and shit stirring.
No question its a good idea, along with de-militarizing the police and them carrying non lethal weapons. My point is it has absolutely nothing to do with the president. He's just riding on the coattails of an emotional issue to distract from his own spotty legacy.
So...you would raid a Mexican drug den in LA with batons while the criminals are waiting for you with AK-47s? Yeah, right...

The consensus in Malaysia is that those three provinces "belongs" to Malaysia and that Thailand is an occupier, and further that the inhabitants are ethnic Malays. When many Malaysian are of this opinion, including many at the top, it is hard to get Malaysia along on any peace process. Why is even Malaysia involved in talks? Because Malaysia is part of the problem. Without Malaysian support, this rebellion would fade quickly. This is not a religious fight, but a territorial and ethnic conflict. Thailand should demand, that Malaysia stop supporting the rebels.

Not going to happen is it.Hypercritical in the extreme. I do not recall any of his predecessors condemning the IRA
That's a dumb comment! IRA is a political group, not a religious group. They were killing for a political cause, not religious reasons. The Church of England condemned their actions many times.

Thailand needs to implement the same firearms laws as in Malaysia and Singapore. In those country's guns are not much of a problem. It would be better for Thailand's overall security as well.
-
The libel and defamation laws has to be changed so that it is not a crime to accuse anyone of corruption, otherwise the fight against corruption will be ineffective.
-
This is promising! Now these people needs to be stripped of all their assets and convicted. They have already been named and shamed, which is very good. After destroying some of the big fish, they should take some small fish and parade them in the media too, in order to put fear among the corrupt at all levels.

If you engage in these kind of activities, you get what you deserve.

These corrupt officials have helped funding the unrest in the south where soldiers and police have been killed on an almost daily basis. They deserve what is coming. I believe not many of them are sleeping at night anymore.
-
Now they should take a poll to see how many "concerned" citizens are in favor of OBEYING the laws that they want to police to enforce! By my observations, it would be too few to count, sad to say.
That's exactly why a clean police is needed to enforce those laws. Then people's attitudes will change too.
-
Regardless of the intentions for these arrests, it will serve as a warning to others, and will make every (bad) cop think twice before stealing and mismanaging their job. Even if they might not be busted, at least they will slow down their crime spree for a while and lose some sleep at night.

He should share a cell with 30 thai guys for a few years. That would sort him out.

Cronyism is probably rampant in the army, and it may not be illegal. When the army owned companies choose an ex-general to be a director after his retirement it is NOT corruption or illegal. On a large scale it can be unhealthy, but it is legal in most cases and probably always legal in Thailand. It happens in almost every country, and it is seldom illegal.Note the national police chief claims the bribery list goes back two years.
If this is accurate it's reasonable to wonder why corruption on this scale existed without being known about and acted upon.
It's also reasonable to suggest an answer as to why a blind eye was turned and why it's suddenly being jumped all over.
What will the general do if some of his ' people ' are found to be involved or will the investigation be very selectively tailored. .
Tailored..... Given the wealth of a lot of the Thai generals, cannot help
but think they are either brilliant investors, or their beak has been dipped
in the feeding trough as well.

Instead of denying it, he should investigate it in a serious manner. If nothing is found, then everything ok. Just denying it like he does now, does not sound good, even if they are innocent.

The correct answer is probably that it is the Thai immigration's prerogative to chose where they will "send" you. The safest option is always your home country. If you go somewhere else, there is a risk you are denied entry there and sent back to Thailand.

Why would anyone buy anything that is not finished in Thailand, unless you buy from some of the big names in the local industry. This guy should be sued in the UK, if he don't deliver. He can be personally liable as a manager or director for possible negligence, and may not be able to use the company structure as a shield.

Have faith, things are changing with our interim government, maybe not as fast as you would like, but they are changing. Just look at the track record of the achievements in just a few months, and compare it with the track changes of the past governments achievements in a few years. Big difference isnt it?
It's a small difference, but at least a positive one. Much, much, much more is needed.

I hope they are executed quickly. Thailand has been too soft with these murderers for a long time. They murdered four people and should die for their actions.

How can you call a 5 year visa for permanent residency? I do not know if I should laugh or cry.
Same as the Singapore PR. 5 years and then reevaluate.

This probe is getting worrisome.
Afraid if they poke around too much, Thailand will be left without a police force!!
They have not had a police force for years, but a mafia in police uniforms that occasionally does police work.

A good move. Many new moves needed, but it is going in the right direction.
