Popular Post webfact Posted June 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2020 Proposed rehabilitation of THAI will expose a Pandora’s Box of corruption A Thai-Airway Boeing 747 taxies on the tamac of the freed Suvarnabhumi international airport after making the first arrival flight at the protest-hit airport in Bangkok on December 3, 2008. Airlines gradually resumed international and domistic flights to and from the airport after protesters ended a blockade, with full operations expected on December 4, 2008. AFP PHOTO/HOANG DINH Nam (Photo by HOANG DINH NAM / AFP) Former international crime prosecutor, Mr. Wanchai Roujanavong, has likened the proposed rehabilitation of Thai Airways International to the opening of a Pandora’s Box, which will expose extensive corruption in the ailing national flag carrier which has hitherto been hidden from the public. Writing in his Facebook post today, Mr. Wanchai said that the rehabilitation process is likely to reveal that THAI paid prohibitively high fees for the rental of aircraft, which is said to be one of the causes of the airline’s heavy losses. He claimed that the airline’s fleet was leased to THAI through several agents, allegedly with the consent of the airline’s board. Without the proposed rehabilitation plan, the former chief prosecutor said that that the public would probably never know the truth “while the parasites carried on sucking the blood out of the airline.” Full story: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/proposed-rehabilitation-of-thai-will-expose-a-pandoras-box-of-corruption/ -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2020-06-05 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If corruption charges will keep an opposition candidate out of the running, they'll jump on it. With both feet. If it's one of the junta's minions, they won't. 13 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread talks about the corruption, there's also cronyism and nepotism, both totally rampant in this airline (airline not the correct word, not quite true, it's really a powerful self organized self controlled, membership restricted hi-so status club with benefits). 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why it was big news when Airbus said they weren't renting their jets to THAI. Who was renting them then? Many middlemen between. The same reason my and other teachers' paychecks are so small when we first start out in Thailand. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BobbyL Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2020 All will be hushed up somehow. I think the corruption within THAI Airways goes right to the very top. Just look at where one of their parked aircraft recently turned up. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Rodriguez Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 what about impounding all the assets of those fake middle man agents that leased planes to thai and all involved ? that would be a nice statement to the country that corruption is a nono ah, forgot, I woke up, TIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Paul Henry Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2020 Thailand should follow China's rule on corruption.A single bullet to the back of the head. Thailand follows China in most other things but the problem here is the major offenders in Thailand are the people who govern and are supposed to enforce the laws. We just saw the watch case from a friend I cannot remember his name. What pay off did the corruption investigators get? A classic case of putting the vampire in charge of the blood bank. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
