Thai Enquirer Summary
Political News
A group of vocation students known as Archiva Chuai Chart (vocational students for the
nation) reportedly plans to hold a protest tomorrow (July 30) in a show of support for
Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha amid ongoing anti-government
rallies nationwide held by the Free Youth group and the Student Union of Thailand
(SUT).
The vocational students for the nation invited the public on social media sites to
join its planned rally at the Democracy Monument at 14.00 hrs on July 30. It said
the purpose of the rally is to defend the monarchy.
The group once read out a statement opposing the Free Youth Group’s stance,
criticising the Free Youth Group of publishing fake news to mobilise crowds and
stir up conflict that could lead the country to an incident similar to the student-led
uprising on October 6, 1976.
Meanwhile, a group which calls itself “the network of Children of King Taksin
the Great punishes Dictator” invited the public to join a flash mob rally against
the government near the Monument of King Taksin in Bangkok’s Wong Wian
Yai on the same day (July 30) from 17.00 hrs. The group is associated with the
Free Youth Group.
Many fears of the potential for clash between rally goers of both groups that may
lead to the incident similar to the October 6, 1976 uprising as the protest sites are
only 4 kilometres apart.
The man behind the Archiva Chuai Chart (vocational students for the nation) as MCOT
TV reported this morning is a person who was behind many of the student movement that
helped the People’s Democratic Reform Council (PDRC) that was lead by former
Democrat party’s secretary-general – Suthep Thaugsuban and then de-facto leader of
Action Coalition for Thailand (ACT) party that won a mere 5-seats in the parliament.
Danai Tipyan , was the leader of the Archiva Chuai Chart (vocational students for
the nation)
He had also contested the election in Thungsong district in the south of the
country but did not win a seat from that constituency.
The leader of the student movement Panupong ‘Mike’ Jadnok came out to say that the
movement of the student will likely
2x the number of students who participated in the July 18 protest @ Democracy
Monument (which were estimated at around 2,000 to 3,000)
That the movement would gradually raise its protest as time goes although he did
not mention to what degree it would be raised to.
In relating to planned rallies, the government has no plans to block student rallies as long
as they are held in line with the rule of law.
Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan has no problem with student rallies as student
protesters have a right to peaceful public gatherings, according to Panitan
Wattanayagorn, security adviser to Gen Prawit.
There are protests planned all across the country over the next couple of days
Meanwhile Mongkutwattana Hospital director Rienthong Nanna, who also founded a
hard-line royalist movement, launched a campaign “a project to end the future of the
young demonstrators” while student-led protests have been planned in a second week.
Dr Rianthong’s campaign urged employers to boycott any job seekers who
participated in the ongoing anti-government protests.
He wrote on his Facebook page:
“First, volunteers should quietly infiltrate and take the photos of these
people who joined the god damned protests. Try to make sure the photos
have detailed faces that can be traced their identity. Second, Send it

Red Bull heir Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya case and prosecutors’ decision to drop all
charges against him, which has sparked public outrage, continues to be the “talk of the
town” with a number of developments around the case.
National police chief Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda has signed an order to appoint a
10-member fact-finding committee to review the Royal Thai Police Office
(RTPO) ’s decision to support prosecutors to drop all charges against Vorayuth of
reckless driving causing death.
Pol Gen Chakthip has appointed a fact-finding committee to look into the
way police handled the issue and determine if it was in accordance with
due laws and regulations. The panel, which is headed by Pol Gen Satawat
Hirunburana, has 15 days to complete the inquiry, according to Deputy
police spokesman Pol Col Kissana Phathanacharoen.
The statute of limitation in this high-profile hit-and-run case, in which Pol Sgt
Maj Wichian Klanprasert, a motorcycle policeman, was killed on Sukhumvit
Road in September 2012 would not have expired until 2027.
The Office of Attorney (OAG) itself decided to set up a 7-member working team
headed by Deputy Attorney General Somsak Tiyawanich to look into the handling
of the case. The panel has 7 days to conclude on whether the inquiry could change
the prosecution’s decision.
The Anti-Corruption Organisation of Thailand (ACT) and a group of 32 law
lecturers from Thammasat University joined the call for both agencies to clarify
their positions.
The groups called for Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to come up with
guidelines to restore public confidence after the decision to drop the charge was
signed by Deputy Attorney General Nate Naksuk while Assistant Police Chief Pol
Lt Gen Permpoon Chidchob signed on behalf of the police chief not to challenge
the prosecution’s decision.
In response, Gen Prayut reportedly said he felt uncomfortable with the
widespread public criticism of the decision, by public prosecutors not to
pursue the case against the Red Bull heir.
The House Committee on Law, Justice and Human Rights headed by Phalang
Pracharat Party (PPRP) MP Sira Janejakha said it has invited representatives of
the OAG and the RTPO to clarify reasons behind the prosecutors’ decision to
drop the charge and the police’s decision not to challenge the OAG’s decision
today (July 29).
Three activists came out to say that they have evidence to prove that Vorayuth
had illicit chemical substances, including cocaine, in his system during his fatal
hit-and-run in 2012.
Veera Somkwamkid, Secretary-General of the People’s Network Against
Corruption; Anon Nampa, a human rights activist lawyer; and Taejing Siripanich,
Secretary-General of the Don’t Drive Drunk Foundation, posted on their
Facebook pages that the evidence was never been mentioned in the police
investigation file.
The 3 referred to a copy of a letter by Vichan Peonim, head of the Forensic
Pathology programme at Mahidol University’s Faculty of Medicine at
Ramathibodi Hospital, made to the head of the faculty’s Department of
Pathology. The document dated on October 1, 2012, was “about the substances
found in the body of Mr Vorayuth Yoovidhya as requested by the Thong Lor
Police Station”. The document showed that Vorayuth’s body contained
Alprazolam, Benzoylecgonine, Cocaethylene and caffeine.
Alprazolam, commonly sold under the brand name Xanax, is used to
manage anxiety disorders. The drug is classified as a Type 4 stimulant,
and it is highly regulated in the kingdom, the letter said. Alprazolam
residues can normally be detected in urine from one to five days after the
drug is consumed.
Benzoylecgonine is the main metabolite found in cocaine, which can still
be detected in blood for as long as 28 hours after ingestion. Cocaethylene
is a substance formed when cocaine is mixed with alcohol, the document
said.
A new Super Poll survey found a majority of people, 95.2%, want political office holders
and politicians to invite prosecutors and police to clarify their decision not to pursue
further legal action against Red Bull heir Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya while 87.7%
perceived the intention by politicians to summon prosecutors and police to explain
themselves as an attempt to buy time to ease public pressure on the case. The same poll
said a majority of people, 88.7%, wants the government to broadcast live explanations
over Red Bull heir's case from prosecutors and police. A majority of respondents, 91.1%
said they could not trust the justice system.
In addition, the same poll found a higher percentage of people who support rallies
organised by student activists following prosecutors and police’s decision not to
arraign the Red Bull scion. The poll said 70.5% of respondents support student
rallies, up from 53.9% while 91.8% said they could not trust senior figures in the
government and the state agencies.
The poll was conducted on 1,281 people throughout the country on July 26-28 to
compile their opinions on “People’s reliance on justice system”.
The opposition Pheu Thai Party asked the Senate to lend helping hand for constitutional
amendments.
Somkid Chueakong, Pheu Thai MP for Ubon Ratchathani, asked senators to call a
meeting to show its clear stance in pushing for amendments after the Senate has
signed support for the issue.
Somkid pointed that the making of current senators who are serving a 5-year term,
as prescribed by the NCPO-sponsored constitution, is part of the problem as the
charter allows them to facilitate the return to power of Prime Minister Prayut
Chan-o-cha for 8 years. The Pheu Thai MP said there is no point to call for a
dissolution of Parliament as long of the current constitution remains
undemocratic. He called for the government to initiate the charter amendment
process and respect student protesters’ demands by inviting them to express their
calls at Government House or the country is at risk of widening political turmoil.
But Senator Kittisak Rattanawaraha said he could accept all criticisms against the
senators but ask for the current senators not to be scrapped, saying that they have
only been in office for over a year. He said he is ready to accept a proposed
amendment to change an extra power to vote for a prime minister should the
proposal is agreed upon by a majority of the Senate.
Economic News
The Ministry of Finance is set to revise down the country’s growth domestic product
(GDP) forecast for this year to a contraction of 5-6%, from a previous estimate of 2.8%.
The downward revision is in line with the National Economic and Social Development
Council (NESDC)’s projection.
The Finance Ministry’s Fiscal Policy Office (FPO) expects to reveal its latest
economic growth figures tomorrow (July 30) after suspending its economic
growth forecast for 3 months.
The FPO is expected to cut its economic growth forecast for this year to a
contraction 5-6% after taking into account economic impacts of the virus
epidemic on domestic spending, unemployment in industrial and tourism
sectors, drought, political uncertainty and student protests. Other external
factors that come into play are a global recession that caused Thai exports
to fall drastically.
The NESDC, the Thai Bankers’ Association (TBA) and the Finance Ministry
expect the second quarter of 2020 to be the worst performance in the entire year.
Economic figures are expected to pick up in the third and fourth quarters of 2020
after easing of the lockdown measures which will allow business activities to
resume.
The Excise Department’s tax revenue for the first 9 months of this year fell short of target
by 95.1 billion baht or 19.54% year-on-year.
The Department amassed 391 billion baht for the first 9 months of Fiscal year
2020 (October 2019 – June 2020), 11.65% lower than the same period of last
year. The decline is attributed to the virus outbreak that caused economic
activities to stall and a drastic slowdown in domestic consumption.
Excise tax on fuels fell short by 28.5 billion baht or 15.24% while the beer and
liquor taxes were also off target by 12.8 billion baht or 19.46% and 850 million or
1.82%, respectively. The tobacco excise fell short of target by 10.3 billion baht or
17.99% while excise tax on cars fell 38.4 billion or 37.3% below target.
The 41st Bangkok International Motor Show which was held between July 13 and 26 saw
orders placed for 22,791 cars, down from 37,769 cars in the previous edition.
Of the total orders of 22,791 units, 18,381 are car orders and 4,410 motorcycle
orders.
Toyota had the highest number of car orders –3,745 units. Mazda came second
with 2,365 orders while Honda was ranked third with 2,001 cars, auto show SET
listed organiser Grand Prix International Plc (GPI) said.
GPI chief operating officer Jaturont Komolmis said bookings were met by each
carmaker’ expectations as most people are careful with their spending as
sentiment was dampened by the virus outbreak.
A total of 1,049,046 visitors attended the 14-day auto show.
The list below is the list of carmakers who sold what during the motor show
The National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC), formerly the
National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB), is said to clash with the
Ministry of Public Health after the former tried to block the ministry’s plan to pay
frontline public health volunteers an extra 500 baht for 19 months.
Sukhum Kanchanapimai, permanent secretary for public health, insisted that
public health volunteers deserved 500-baht bonus payments for 19 months (from
March 2020 to September 2021) since they put their own lives at risk from the
virus.
Meanwhile Tossaporn Sirisamphan, NESDC’s secretary-general, said he plans to
ask the Cabinet to approve a budget of no more than 3.622 billion baht to pay
public health volunteers from March 2020 to only September 2020, citing the
resolution of the NESDC’s budget panel to deduct the proposed extra monthly
payments from 19 months to 7 months.
The price of gold rose by more than 450 baht per baht weight in the morning trade on
July 28 following a surge in global gold price to nearly US$2,000 per ounce. This has
caused the Gold Traders Association to adjust gold prices 16 times before announcing its
last price before the market close.
At close yesterday (July 28), gold closed at the highest at 27,050 baht in the
Thai history since 2011, with the buying price of gold bars at 28,700 baht per
baht weight and selling price 28,800 baht.
It is said that gold closed at the highest as investors are still purchasing hold as a
safe-haven asset amid uncertainty over US-China tensions, the Covid-19
pandemic and a weakening dollar.
