    Rude immigration staff

    By ChiefSealth, Created on: 27/04/2009, Last updated on: 19/08/2010

    » Is it just me or have you also notice how rude and disgruntled the Thai immigration staff seems to be at BKK? I thought it was just a fluke my first visit but now I've experienced very unfriendly and rude staff multiple times entering and exiting Thailand. And before anyone asks all of my forms and...

    • Dezrat773 commented : I think just about all immigration staff are rude almost any place that you go. I think they all went to the same school. I have traveled the world and I can honestly say that last year in November I went to KL and the young man actually smiled and said to me congratulations on the election of Obama. I was in a state of shock and smiled and said thank you! As for the Thai Immigration staff, I really find them no different, except one time one the agents took 1 hours to process the 4 people who were in front of me in line. The problem was that he could not see! I kid you not! Because he could not see he was very rude, until an hour latter his supervisor replaced him. I was pissed, but latter thought it was funny that the guy could not see even with his glasses and they actually hired him as an agent!

That should be a red card with disolution of the Party. EC originally didn't even touch the case till PT pushed the case.

Maybe there's a Black Hole in Thailand, next to the justice dept.,sucking up all the light or simply greedy palms. Maybe Thaksin correct about not receiving justice in Thailand...they don't accept his bribes. I thought Newin involved heavily in the Lottery case, so no wonder case silence/deferred for his allegiance to Dems coalition. I don't mean to rant but: I was reading about S.Korea politician corruption in light of the nuclear threats. They go to jail all the time, kill their former leaders investigating them and call it suicide, willing to start a war to hide their crimes or distract media attention. Start false flag terrors/provacateurs in foreign countries. Now North Korea abandoned armistice agreement. Is this just saber rattling or verge of WW3? Thai politicians training school for future worse corruption, especially if theirs ever a rift to create a north and south Thailand. Thaksin could be the new Kim Jong Ill of N.Thai, producing meth amphet. to flood the world much like N. Korea, since no economy in N. Thai or any ports. There's always America willing to hand out nuclear and missile technology too, so world problems continue...much like they did to Pakistan, N.Korea. Such is the business of politics, it's a business

    • SARDINES commented : [quote="Chris-TH":sqx97mmm]Well, judging from the news today some of the missing cases are emerging: [color=#FF0000:sqx97mmm][b:sqx97mmm]We have an EC case against Suthep,[/b:sqx97mmm][/color:sqx97mmm] the Thaksin assets case, and the PAD case(s). What wonders me a bit about the PAD case(s) is that the PAD lawyer has requested the police to interview more people. I thought that witnesses were presented in court and no to the institution that are about to press charges.[/quote:sqx97mmm] The most that can happen to Suthep is that he will have to step down and perhaps be disqualified from politics for a number of years if found guilty. (which if things have gone the direction that they have, he might be let off... but let's see). However, since this is a local election for a local post, even if found guilty there will no need to be a party disolution. SARDINES

    Counter Corruption Act B.E. 2542

    By Chris-TH, Created on: 19/06/2009, Last updated on: 01/07/2009

    » Well, it seems that the Section 100 (3) "ghost" has appeared again. Just a reminder: "(3) being a concessionaire or continuing to hold a concession from the State, State agency, State enterprise or local administration or being a party to a contract of a directly or indirectly monopolistic...

    • Chris-TH commented : Here we go again!!, but like I posted in my initial post, the illegallity of holding shares is not from the 2007 Constitution, but goes all the way back to the Counter Corruption law from 1999: "Asked if the ruling Democrat Party would support the bid, he said he believed MPs from the ruling party wanted to see an amendment although they might be afraid of a public backlash and added that MPs should boldly amend what they needed to as they were empowered to do. Theptai Senapong, spokesman for the Democrat Party leader, said he believed the Constitution Court would rule fairly on the matter and the party was not worried. [color=#FF0000:2i29mybg]Theptai also insisted that the party would not amend the charter for its own benefit and some politicians were wrong to claim they were not familiar with the details of article 265 (2).[/color:2i29mybg] Any disqualification, he said, could result in a by-election but not a general election. [color=#FF0000:2i29mybg]Meanwhile, Vicharn Meench-ainan, Pheu Thai MP for Bangkok and head of the Bangkok group of MPs for Pheu Thai, launched an attack on those behind the junta-sponsored 2007 charter, saying they were not politicians and had been bent on destroying politicians.[/color:2i29mybg] He said that if seven of the 16 MPs were disqualified it would certainly compromise the functioning of the opposition. Vicharn criticised the charter article as "pedantic" and added that it was unfair for government officials to hold shares in private firms.
