The special and unique Thai "Black Box" has a way to turn everything into the ugliness
Blog Note: Thai Intel would like to say thank you to our classified source who went through a great deal of work to bring this report to Thai Intel’s attention and in providing the basis for this intelligence report.
By Tammy, Thai Intel’s humanity journalist
This is a report about an immoral morality.
The Bangkok Post recently publish a story about how kiddie porn are sold on the sidewalk of Bangkok’s richest district but nothing happened and so the Bangkok Post had to make a follow-up on the story and now the kiddie porn on the sidewalk had gone under the table but is still available to anyone who asks for it. No arrest made, off course.
The royalist elite rich rulers of Thailand-have always say that Thailand is so special and unique that any globally accepted norms of behavior-like freedom and democracy-needs to go through a “Black Box” and be transformed into the Thai version of that “Black Box” input.
Well, that “Black Box” to make everything uniquely and special to Thai-have decided that kiddie porn is OK-but as the following report from Prachathai says-a slipper with the picture of Thailand’s prime minister, Abhisit, is deemed un-Thai and “Immoral.”
And so the slipper vendor was legally charges with the offense.
The Political Prisoner Thailand blog calls it a “Farce” and the result of a systemic attempt to stop all discord in Thailand. The blog said that Thailand is the laughing-stock on the global level. The blog also showed slippers from the Yellow Shirt gathering with the picture of Takksin, Thailand’s former prime minister, on the slippers being sold-and asked if the double standard in the Thai justice system-has reached every absurd level of Thailand.
Thai Intel just wants to remind everyone, that a few years back, widely reported were the facts that at all Yellow Shirt gatherings-the picture of Taksin was posted in the toilets for people to piss at for example.
Taksin complained very much, much in the same way that Thai police have said about the slipper case, that it is not proper for his picture to be in the toilets and pissed at. “You do not have to respect me, but at least respect the office that I hold,” said Taksin.
If you are looking for a sure sign if Thailand today is worse off than during Taksin times or not-just remember this, Taksin did not do anything about his picture being on slippers or that his picture was being pissed at-but here in Thailand today, a slipper vendor was charged by the Thai police.
Thai Intel wonders really, if all the beauty of the human race, once enter the Thai “Black Box” to make it special and uniquely Thai-does in fact-just makes it the most ugly shit the human race has seen from Thailand.
And by the way, there was no kiddie porn on rich sidewalks during Taksin time.
The Following is from Prachathai:
A flip-flop vendor has been further charged by Ayutthaya police for distorting facts about the killings at Ratchaprasong and offending traditional Thai morals for putting the faces of Abhisit and Suthep on her flip-flops.
Sombat Boon-ngam-anong, Amornwan, and a friend
On 11 Oct, Amornwan Charoenkij, 42, together with a lawyer and close friends, met Pol Maj Col Chakkraphan Thupatemi at Ayutthaya Police Station by appointment to hear a clarification of the charges against her.
Pol Maj Col Chakkraphan said that Amornwan’s case had been vetted by a joint committee composed of various police commanders, because the case has attracted much public attention.
Pol Maj Col Chakkraphan informed Amornwan of additional charges that ‘the message and images distort the facts and mislead the public to understand that Abhisit Vejjajiva and Suthep Thaugsuban have been involved in the killings at Ratchaprasong. Selling [the flip-flops] to demonstrators and others is considered to be dissemination. And putting the faces of individuals on flip-flops is considered not proper according to the traditional morals of the Thai people, violating the Emergency Decree.’
According to the police record, Amornwan was arrested at 6 pm on 3 Oct on the footpath of Sri Sanpetch Rd for selling flip-flops with the face of Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban printed on the left sandal, and the face of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on the right, both displaying the message ‘People died at Ratchaprasong’.
The police record says that Pol Maj Gen Jaruwat Waisaya, acting Commander of Ayutthaya police, ordered his subordinates to buy the flip-flops from the vendor who offered to sell them 5 pairs for 100 baht. Pol Maj Gen Jaruwat brought the flip-flops to show to acting Commander of Provincial Police Region 1 Pol Maj Gen Sriwara Rangsitprahmkul, and they considered that the flips-flops were printed materials which contained messages which might cause panic or misunderstanding among the public about the emergency situation, affecting national security or the good morals of the people, under the Emergency Decree and its derivative regulations issued on 7 April 2010.
So the suspect was arrested and the 5 pairs of flip-flops, together with a further 49 pairs in her possession, were confiscated as evidence.
When arrested, the suspect admitted that she had sold 5 pairs to the policemen, had bought the flip-flops from an unknown man at Ratchaprasong on 17 May, and had been selling them ever since.
Amornwan continued to deny the charges, and wanted to testify in court.
She later said that some policemen had warned her against selling flip-flops at an upcoming event in Ayutthaya for fear of further legal hassles, and that low-ranking police had to follow orders against their wishes.
She said that she didn’t know what to do as it was her regular job. She did not gain much profit from selling 3 pairs for 100 baht, at a cost of 22-23 baht per pair, but she wanted people to buy them to wear at an affordable price.
After the news of her arrest, sale of the flip-flops has much increased.
She said that she liked police, and she always gave them extras when she sold the flip-flops at Ratchaprasong.
