The general made it into the German press this morning further improving Thailand´s reputation wordwide . On the photo the man was trying to protect his face from the sun and showing another Rolex. The story said that people investigating all photos came across 25 watches which according to the honorable general all belonged to friends . Which in excess would mean he has minimum 25 friends which is far more than I have myself .

 

One of the reasons I could not live in Thailand is that reading this kind of stories EVERY single morning would make me angry and probably beating up lovely Pam from Lao just to find some relieve. Nobody wants this .

NACC chairman Watcharapol Prasarnrajkit, who is a former close aide of Gen Prawit, excused himself from the meeting in which Gen Prawit was the sole item on agenda.

The probe was launched when Gen Prawit was spotted wearing a platinum Richard Mille RM 029 valued at about 2.5 million baht, and a diamond ring at a Government House event on Dec 4, 2017. These items and other watches which came to light later were omitted from Gen Prawit's assets declaration to the NACC. Gen Prawit claimed the luxury watches belonged to friends and were all returned...(hidden)...

Activist Veera Somkwamkid says he is seeking to impeach members of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) for ignoring a court order to disclose details about their investigation into the luxury wristwatch saga involving Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon.
Mr Veera, in an interview with the Isra News Agency, accused the NACC of defying the order by the Supreme Administrative Court, which ruled the disclosure must be completed within 15 days of the order being passed on April 21.
The NACC reportedly decided in a 5-to-1 vote on Wednesday not to reveal the details of its probe, reasoning it may need to refer the matter to the Constitutional Court for help with interpretation.
