Thai Enquirer Summary
Political News
As expected embattled Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha survived the Constitutional Court’s ruling which dismissed the case of breaching ethics clauses in the constitution, allowing Gen Prayut to stay in his job as prime minister.
The unanimous decision of 9-0 votes among the 9 judges cleared Gen. Prayut of any wrongdoings
The court yesterday ruled in favour of Gen Prayut after the 9-judge panel agreed with an army explanation that retired senior officers that Gen Prayut is allowed to stay in army housing in recognition of their service.
The army had argued on Gen Prayut’s behalf that his military housing is actually a VIP guest house although critics suggest that if he did not pay at least for water and electricity, he may be breaking the law.
The court said that senior officers such as Prayut were entitled to live in military housing as special guests in honour of their military careers. Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan and Gen Interior Minister Anupong Paochinda were given the same privilege, former army chief Gen. Apirat Kongsompong declared before his retirement this past September. The court also said the current
army chief Gen. Narongpan Jittkeawtae had explained that the army’s regulations allow it to pay for utilities and other necessary costs in such instances.
The acquittal of this case marks the 3rd time that Gen. Prayut has been able to get away from the claws of the judiciary in the past 1-year.
The 1st escape was Gen. Prayut’s gaffe of the oath taking with HM the King which had become a big issue
The 2nd case was of being a govt. employee and becoming a candidate for the Prime Minister for Phalang Pracharat Party.
. Under the law a person cannot be a Minister/MP or hold any govt. office before becoming a MP or Prime Minister candidate for elections.
. The court had cleared Gen Prayut from this wrongdoing too as he was a Prime Minister and the head of the coup making body National Council for Peace & Order (NCPO)
Yesterday’s case was the 3rd case that he was cleared by the Constitutional Court.
The verdict has sparked anger among pro-democracy protesters led by the Khana Ratsadon, the People’s Movement. The movement has vowed to ramp up rallies across the year.
The pro-democracy Khana Ratsadon group, the People’s Movement, immediately issued a statement from its rally site near Lat Phrao Intersection that it will ramp up rallies in response to the verdict.
Protest leader Parit “Penguin” Chiwarak, reportedly told the media, “Thailand’s justice system has completely lost its integrity. The court’s verdict today shows they look down on the people. This will fuel people’s anger and be the condition that drives our rallies to a higher level”.
Another protest leader Arnon Nampha, a human rights lawyer, announced that the pro-democracy group would step up their rallies next year but maintained they
would be peaceful. The pro-democracy rally is now targeting the judicial institute as Arnon demanded the judicial reform. He said the public has the right to criticise the judicial branch in the event that a wrong verdict is delivered.
Khana Ratsadon erected the People’s Court similar to the Constitutional Court bench during a rally at Lat Phrao Intersection yesterday to mock the court’s decision to clear Gen Prayut of wrongdoings.
Another protest leader Attaphol Buapat or “Khru Yai (headmaster)”, got up on stage giving a speech that criticised the court’s ruling. Attaphol said he was disappointed with the court’s verdict but said nothing was beyond his expectations because 5 out of 9 constitutional court judges were appointed by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) while the remaining judges on the panel came from the junta-appointed Senate. Attaphol said the ruling erode the credibility of the rule of law. He said from now there is no need for the public to follow the law.
Attaphol also conducted a ritual in protest of the court’s ruling. A replica spirit house was set up. Attaphol presented 9 bananas to the spirit house before smashing it up in front of cheering crowds.
Chaithavat Tulathon, secretary-general of the opposition Kao Klai (Move Forward) party, said that the acquittal was not unexpected, adding that it reconfirms that the justice system in Thailand is abnormal and that all the charter-mandated independent organizations, including the Constitutional Court, are merely a tool of the military junta. He said the acquittal proved that the ruling elites in this country do not want to compromise. He warned that the court’s verdict will only increase political tensions.
After all this rumors are rife that Gen Prayut is set to resign from the position by the end of the year to pave way for someone else to be the Prime Minister and to cool off the political temperatures.
Any such incident has to be after the provincial elections are over and before December 28th.
A report said Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan has sneaked into Baan Phitsanulok to welcome a personal guest. This is the 1st time that Gen Prawit used Baan Phitsanulok. Previously, Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha was seen riding a bicycle inside this place.
There is a report that the Secretariat of the Prime Minister has inspected the building and conference rooms inside Baan Phitsanulok. The move fuelled speculation that the venue will be used by the Prime Minister and his deputy to facilitate important missions.
Education Minister Nataphol Teepsuwan said it has formed a committee to allow the Bad Students group to give their views on various issues like school uniform rules. The Minister, however, threatened to take legal action against the Bad Students group’s website, www.badstudent.co for publishing the names of teachers and schools that prohibit students from wearing casual clothes to school, citing that the website operator might be violating the rights of others. He vowed to seek the prosecution of the operator and even shut the site.
Nataphol told the parliament’s sitting yesterday that his ministry will reach conclusions on rules for student haircuts and school uniforms before the end of this month.
The minister said it found merely 638 students out of 2.5 million nationwide wore casual attire to school on the first day of term this week. The ministry assumed that Thai society was not ready for school uniforms to be ditched altogether.
In regards to the upcoming provincial administrative organisations (PAOs) contest, Yaowares Shinawatra, former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra’s younger sister, accompanied by former deputy Prime Minister Pongthep Thepkanchana, reportedly helped Pheu Thai candidate Pichai Lertpongadisorn in the coming PAO poll.
Pichai announced in his campaign to represent the Shinawatra siblings Thaksin and his sister Yingluck under the Pheu Thai Party’s banner. He told voters not to forget the 2 ex-premiers.
Economic News
The government think-tank, National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC), has expressed mounting concerns about a possible second wave of infections, saying the renewed outbreak will stall recovering domestic tourism and the overall economy.
Danucha Pichayanan, secretary-general of the NESDC, said with new cases reported in some tourism-dependent provinces, the agency is afraid the spread will affect domestic tourism in provinces that are recovering.
Mr Danucha said after new cases were reported in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, visitors had cancelled their bookings for hotel rooms and other accommodation. "Containing the spread is a priority for the government. Effective controls for the second wave are crucial for the country's overall economic recovery. " he said.
The Commerce Ministry said it is ready to roll out promotional and stimulus plans to drive Thai exports next year.
Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit yesterday said the ministry has come up with 343 marketing activities both in and outside Thailand to accelerate free trade agreement (FTA) talks with several potential partners including the European Union (EU), the UK, the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the European Free Trade Association (Efta). Some 135 will be held in Thailand and the remaining 208 are scheduled to be organised in foreign countries.
The ministry also plans to promote sales of Thai products via online platforms such as Amazon in Singapore and the US, Lotte in South Korea, Tmall in China, Bigbasket in India and Khaleang.com in Cambodia.
The ministry is optimistic that Thailand is expected to see export growth of 4 per cent next year.
Charoen Pokphand Foods Plc (CPF) expects this year’s profit to hit a 10-year high thanks to a record high quarterly profit due to high pork prices.
The company expects to have a golden year this year in a 10-year period after its net profit in the first 9 months soared to 19.613 billion baht, up from 18.455 billion baht in the same period of last year, says Prasit Boondoungprasert, CPF’s chief executive. The company expects a strong profit outlook to continue in the 4th quarter as it will book special profits from the acquisition of the swine business in China worth US$84 million (approx. more than 2 billion baht), says the CPF CEO.
The company expects to wrap up Tesco-Lotus deal of the CP group within this year.
Thailand took the top spot in Southeast Asia’s IPO market, beating Singapore for the 2nd consecutive year, according to data by Deloitte.
Thailand raised US$3.94 billion from 23 IPOs in the first 10 and a half months of 2020 (from the beginning of this year to November 15), up from $3 billion last year. Thailand’s IPOs have contributed more than 60 per cent of the $6.44 billion of total funds raised across Southeast Asia.
The data is based on IPO trends in 6 major Southeast Asian stock markets: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Across Southeast Asia, around $6.44 billion have been raised from 100 IPOs.
The Centre for Economic Situation Administration (CESA)’s meeting chaired by Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday approved the 2nd round of registration for the co-payment scheme for 5 million people to exercise their rights. The meeting also increase the scheme subsidy to 3,500 baht from 3,000 baht in the 1st round.
Some 22.5 billion baht will be offered to 5 million people or 3,500 baht each under the 2nd round of the co-payment scheme. The 10 million people who had already signed up would get a further 500 baht, as finance ministry official Pornchai Theeravet told a briefing.
The meeting also approved a budget of 43.5 billion baht to finance additional stimulus plan through the state welfare card scheme for 14 million low-income earners for 3 months (from January to March) to boost domestic consumption and an increase in benefits for local travel as a New Year gift to Thai people.
In addition, the government would increase benefits in an earlier programme to boost domestic tourism in the absence of foreign visitors, and offer a new subsidy aimed at encouraging travel for seniors following the CESA’s approval to enhance the “We Travel Together” campaign, which subsidises 40 per cent of hotel expenditure and airfares to make it more attractive to domestic visitors. Each registrant is allowed to enjoy 15 room nights, up from 10 room nights, said Tourism Authority of Thailand governor Yuthasak Supasorn.
The deadline for the use of this scheme for all phases has been extended until March 31st 2021
The Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking (JSCCIB) meeting yesterday revised up its projection of an economic contraction to 6-7 per cent for this year and a contraction of 7-8 per cent for Thai exports.
The joint committee is optimistic that the Thai economy will expand in a range of 2-4 percent next year buoyed by a global economic recovery amid several challenges while exports are forecast to expand in a range of 3-5 per cent next year.
The JSCCIB meeting also urged the government to extend its economic stimulus campaigns for 3-6 months to continue ongoing efforts to boost spending, citing a need for fiscal-monetary injections as a tool to drive the economy forward.
JSCCIB member and Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) chairman Supant Mongkolsuthree said the government can use “Rao Tiew Duay Kan” (We Travel Together) and co-payment campaigns as well as measures to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as they contribute to the economy.
The JSCCIB also suggested the government speed up borrowing money from financial institutions and use it to drive forward the economy.
The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has summoned the fact-finding committee scrutinising the business administration of Thai Airways International (THAI) Plc to give a statement on December 14 on the company’s spending.
The committee has found around 20 individuals committing wrongdoings in relation to overtime payments totalling 1,500 hours annually to more than 567 technicians, accounting for around 6 million baht, vice chairman Pol Maj Gen Saroj Nimcharoen said.
Overtime payments should not exceed 1,500 hours annually but about 200-300 technicians picked up 2,000-3,000 overtime hours. It is reported that salaries and expenses for technicians were estimated at 2.4 billion baht annually and overtime payments were also around 2 billion baht.
The Royal Gazette website on Wednesday published an announcement by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) that the maximum rate charged for domestic mobile telephone services, among other things, must not exceed 1.60 baht per minute outside sales promotion rates provided by operators, while mobile Internet charges should not be more than 0.9 baht per megabyte.

General News
Health officials are now racing to trace several hundred contacts of 10 Thais who snuck back from Myanmar’s Thachilek township into Mae Sai district of Chiang Rai province last week, and were found to be infected with COVID-19.
The cases include 2 in Chiang Mai and one each in Phayao, Bangkok, Phichit and Ratchaburi. Four cases last week included one in Chiang Mai and 3 in Chiang Rai.
An infected woman and her boyfriend visited a Farm Festival on November 29, attended by approximately 3,000 other people, mostly youths who didn’t wear face masks.
Rajabhat Chiang Rai University has suspended all classes, from yesterday until December 16 after it was discovered that several students and lecturers visited the Farm Festival held in the Singha Park in Muang district of the northern province of Chiang Rai on November 29.
A Thai woman who returned through an illegal channel to Mae Sai district of Chiang Rai attended the Farm Festival and later tested positive for COVID-19 in Chiang Mai.
In the meantime, Nok Air has grounded and quarantined all crew members from Flight DD8717, from Mae Sai to Bangkok, on November 28. The plane was also sprayed with disinfectant after it was reported that one of the passengers, a 21- year old Thai bar worker in Thachilek, who slipped back into Thailand via Mae Sai district, was found to be infected with COVID-19.
The infected woman did not show any symptoms and her temperature was normal when she boarded the flight to Bangkok, Director of Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport, Lt Samphan Khuthranont said.
Thailand yesterday recorded 18 new COVID-19 cases, including 16 Thais returning from abroad and a bar worker, who slipped into Mae Sai district of Chiang Rai province from Myanmar’s Thachilek township.
The 16 Thai cases are a 24-year old man and a 29-year old woman returning from Japan, a 69-year old retiree from the United States, a 56-year old woman from Turkey, a 53-year old man from Kuwait, a 24-year old woman from Germany, a 31-year old man returning from Israel, a 32-year old woman from Sweden, a 31- year old man and four women returning from Switzerland and three returning from Myanmar, including the bar worker.

The Bangkok North Municipal Court on Wednesday sentenced a businessman for lying to police during an investigation into a murder case allegedly involving former deputy commerce minister Banyin Tangpakorn.
The court found Charnsak Thanatecha guilty of giving false statements to police investigating the murder of Chuwong Sae Tang, owner of a large construction firm.
He lied to the officers by vouching for Banyin's statement to police investigators. Banyin told police he drove his car with Chuwong on board after they left a restaurant where they had dinner in Bangkok on June 26, 2015. Banyin claimed
his car had crashed into a tree killing Chuwong who was sitting in the front passenger seat. He insisted it was an accident.
However, forensic evidence suggested Chuwong had been murdered and Banyin had allegedly masterminded the crime. He was thought to have been motivated to kill the businessman for a large amount of shares in the dead man's firm which had been illegally transferred to the former deputy minister and placed in the possession of two women with whom Banyin was romantically involved.
Six days of heavy rain have caused widespread flooding in Nakhon Si Thammarat, affecting hundreds of communities and inundating large swaths of farmland.
Governor Kraisorn Wisitwong said on Wednesday he had instructed the province's disaster mitigation office to closely monitor the situation and provide swift assistance to affected communities.
According to Mr Kraisorn, 351 villages across 15 districts were flooded -- affecting 16,709 households, or 47,939 people.
