Subs claim sinks
News, Postbag, Published on 11/08/2015
» Re: “Subs plan tests navy to sink or swim”, (BP, Aug 9) offers a balanced analysis of the Royal Thai Navy’s case for submarines. The RTN’s main “justification” — to make other countries “stand in awe” — is weak. We already have the region’s second-largest naval force, behind Indonesia and ahead of Vietnam, yet with no conflict in sight. So, who are we going to stare down?

Going ballistic
News, Postbag, Published on 12/08/2015
» I noticed that the diagram (reproduced from the white paper issued by the Deputy Prime Minister’s Office) in “Subs plan tests navy to sink or swim”, (BP, Sunday, Aug 9) features not a Chinese-built S26T, the subject of the proposed purchase by the Royal Thai Navy, but rather a slightly bigger and infinitely more menacing Soviet/Russian Typhoon Class ballistic missile nuclear submarine.

Put police on trial
News, Postbag, Published on 15/09/2015
» Thailand's most experienced forensic pathologist, Khunying Porntip, is a valuable, national asset. The lady has successfully discredited the dubious DNA match police investigators used to accuse the two Myanmar men in the Koh Tao murder case. I hope the judge in this case will rule judiciously, and not bow to political pressure from the UK, the police or even General Prayut. He is, I’m sure a person who would frown on pressure for a guilty verdict to please others.
