re: "Trafficking case in limbo" (BP, Editorial, March 23, 2022)
Dear editor,
I fear that the Bangkok Post's editor fails to understand the Thai way, having perhaps been led astray, doubtless by foreign influences with malicious intent. There is nothing either amiss or remiss in the conduct of the case against influential Thais involved in human trafficking. On the contrary, it is all proceeding according to the proper, established norms and practices of the very best Thai society. To call for reform in line with the mere discovering of truth or bringing about of common justice for influential figures would be to seek to topple a pillar of Thainess, something that is not permissible. Pol Maj Gen Paween Pongsirin, forced to flee into exile, is suffering the force of Thai justice precisely for violating those venerable mores of traditional Thai society held dear for many generations and therefore inviolable.
