Definately they don't care of us here...but they do care on how our diplomats behave in Thailand (as they even issued a public warning. So if our foreign service lads start to piss of the local governance, by logic, it won't be good for us as some could take it out on the nationals of the nations whose diplomats are considered interfering in internal affairs. Lex Talionis ? .... Tit for tat ? these words should ring a bell ? One can never be to careful on the collateral dammage in these situations, if I may. Of course all this I M H O , naturally. I wouldn't worry about it. They want our Pounds, Dollars and Euros and will be remarkably pragmatic when it comes to money. I have a stinker of a cold myself. There is definitely something doing the rounds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwjanke56 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I for one, appreciated that the representatives from embassies witnessed this. I hope that mine was one of them. Thailand leaders can say what they want, but that’s why countries with long, historic relationships and even treaties with Thailand, have the obligation to observe these type of incidents. If they didn’t, they would be negligent in my opinion. Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well let's hope the lord and mainly the new immigration policy maker-chief meditate on your words of wisdom and naturally loosen up a bit the visa extension rules, that currently are just pushing the pound, dollar and euro generators of 50+ age, to consider relocating. Wish you a prompt recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunpa Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I must admit, I was surprised that the police let them sit in on the interview. The Don guy is actually right. But the ones that messed up here was the police, who should have told them to wait outside. A pretty smart move by inviting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malagateddy Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 No matter on which side one is, or which colour your shirt is....a farang diplomat should mind his business and fully refrain from internal political meddling in any country. And this includes Thailand. Far to many nations, obvious ones as the USA, Israel, France, Russia etc. etc. have been making trouble all over the world for centuries. So boys, mind your own business, clean up your own messy countries and leave Thai internal politics alone. And this is also valid for the farangs/foreigners in Thailand. Gentlemen, keep yer mouths shut, do not meddle in internal political. Leave your arrogance, condescendance or xenophobia back at home weather it's against the Thai politics or other foreigners, in Thailand.Quite correct ...

Sunderland Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 There is such an abuse of the judicial system here, that is has long been normal for the rulers of this country to get away with whatever they want. The only people who can change this are the Thais, and sadly the majority support corruption or don't understand they are being led a merry dance or know, but can't be bothered to do anything productive about it. Then there are those who want to get involved, but know the real dangers of doing so. There will be a breaking point for many at some point in the future, but whether that is this year, 5 years from now or another half century remains to be seen.

What's your point? The real reason for Don's hissy fit, as you, I and the whole world knows, is that the elites are terrified of Thanthorn's challenge to their dirty old ways.

Sonhia Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Is Thailand a member of the UN? If so, would it not be inline with UN resolutions for UN officials to attend such matters, if deemed nessesary? United Nations, means United, but I forget Thailand is an Empire, (cough) because they seem to act like one, doing what the hell they like. What have the Thai authorities to hide? UN officials would have no need to attend such a hearing if there were no need, so why did the UN attend? More to this than meets the eye. Nothing will change here without foreign intervention. It's high time those in power were taken down the complete run of the unsteady dictatorial, power crazed ladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the usurper himself, "UN is not my father", in clear text, Thais don't intend to comply with anything if they don't feel like it. Said it a million times, hard sanctions are needed to keep a rabid dog in check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly so but your two examples are historically incorrect as neither Columbus or Magellan were ever accused of heresy because they "dared to claim that the world was round" Everyone who was anyone knew that it was round at the time.
