    No expat can ever expect justice from a Thai court. He should have been smart enough to realize this.

    In Thailand, you will get exactly the amount of "justice" that you can BUY!!!!!

    * Yeap, and even the justice it self is dual priced so with that in mind it should not be a surprise that the court rejected the dual pricing case ....

    I do not see an issue with foreigners holding land if certain agreements were put into law.

     

    1. Your property passes into the hands of your Thai partner or children after your death. Or one generation on non-thai children living in Thailand, thereby giving them a chance to sell it.

    2. if you die and  you still own a property, your direct family have 5 years to sell it before it is returned to the state.

     

    This way the property always returns to the Thai people and only owned by foreigners until death, and let's face it most of us when we are dead will not give a hoot about owning land. 

     

     

     

    In the exact moment we die we may not care, but when returning it would be a great help to stil own a peace of land to not have to start all over again ... :thumbsup:

    One of the biggest scandals in Thailand in recent years, and all they can recommend is delaying his pension and promotion for two years !

    I know the ruling is "not final", but hard to see the Prosecution Commission over ruling it.

    And all this took a year !

    Shows the true face of the corrupt Thai judicial system !

    LOS-Backwardia, a country where everything is backwards ...

    Maths not our strong point? 800 million baht divided by 14,000 people equates to just over 57K baht per person. Entirely plausible given the higher rates that most SHA+ hotels are charging. Probably not much being spent out on the streets though.

    Higher rates?

    Hey Prayuth. What about your promise to fight corruption, that you made seven long years ago? I doubt if you remember back that far, but when you and your clowns launched a coup, it was ostensibly to restore law and order, which you accomplished with draconian measures, and to get rid of the rot, and corruption in immigration, the police, customs, the government, at the highest levels, which you never even made the slightest attempt to do. You substituted 7 foot alligators, with 14 foot crocodiles. And you have spent your entire seven years protecting the elite, those in office, the army, the police, those who are connected, and the super wealthy.

     

    For God's sake, you could not even bring the Dark Tao killer to justice, nor the Red Bull creep. Again, busy protecting the wealthy with all of your power. We all know even if you issued a red notice for the Red Bull criminal, Interpol would simply have a good laugh, as you have reduced your nation to a level, where few take it seriously anymore, and it continues to be a laughing stock of the world, when it comes to justice and the fight against both corruption, and rich criminals.

     

    Just look at the heroin dealer who came back to Thailand recently from an Australian prison. He was immediately put into a position of power. Almost to say, good job, you got busted, but you are so rich it does not matter. Welcome back to the "totally above the law crowd!"
     
    The real problem is, you will not go after any of these guys. Not the top bankers, not the high ranking guys, not the provincial authorities, and certainly not the army, or the police. They are all corrupt beyond imagination. And the level of corruption simply escalates, the further up the food chain you go. As far as most of us are concerned, everything is the same. The police and army are not expected to be honest, and they are not expected to engage in law enforcement, traffic or public safety, on any level. It is an irrevocably broken and dysfunctional system. Any hyperbole to the contrary, is just a smoke screen, intended to deceive the most naive amongst us. 
     
    Now, in this time of desperation, with your nation needing you more than ever before, where on earth are you? What have your proposed? Where are the solutions? How are you going to rescue the economy, and the millions who are out of work? Where is the meritocracy? Why are you always picking from the bottom of the barrel, when it comes to appointments? Why do you insist on people with no experience? Sheer cronyism? The nation does not need or want that nonsense. Grow up. Be a man. Behave like a man.

    There are at least a dozen good reasons why you should be removed from office. Get out. Get out now. 

    He has already resigned in the same informal way he appeared - he has not fully understood it, not that either - not yet, but hopefully soon ...

    "the government did not want the mafia putting a spanner in the works and upsetting foreign tourists, notes Thaivisa."

     

    having 80% of places closed and no holiday partying allowed will be much bigger spanners in the works than anything the taxi goons could do.

     

    "Hey Trevor, how was your phuket holiday"  "Totally boring mate, only a few restaurants to go to, the shops were all closed, and the only booze was at the 7/11... dont bother going.....however, the taxis were great"

    .... and Pipat Ratchakitprkarn himself was renting out jet-ski's ....

    All these Chinese in the country is not working out too well is it ? 

     

    Well, they seems to stick to the plan so far - to target high end tourists .... 

    One brown envelope from that particular residence may be equivalent to millions of brown envelopes from ordinary tourists so in that way they have succeeded .... ????
