Thank you for this extraordinary story. I have been a foreign correspondent in Thailand covering news for Danish media since 1988 and must admit to being guilty of buying many of the lies and hearsays that you expose. I am critical of some of your work but this story is really educating me. Well done!
Hi Gregers, I bought the lies too when I first covered the story back in 2010. It was only when I spent significant time reinvestigating that I realised the accepted tale was just lies from all sides. Best wishes!
Astonishing story ,fit for a blockbuster movie.
So well researched nd seems a very authentic account.
Best Sunday read .
as always, top notch journalism, meticulously researched w/o hyperbole or needless speculation- a thoroughly engrossing piece!
Thank you Andrew, This is superb stuff

Very educational article
Thanks! The link works for me, it’s probably blocked in Thailand
Yes, it is blocked - could open it normally with a VPN; how childish!
Yes, Opens with VPN
