Election Commission chairman Apichart Sukhagganond will sue a Pheu Thai Party list candidate for claiming that he met Privy Council president Prem Tinsulanonda to block the election.
Mr Apichart is furious about the allegations made by Prakiart Nasimma, a Pheu Thai list candidate, that he met Gen Prem at his Si Sao Thewes residence on Sunday.
Mr Apichart said the allegations were groundless. He distributed a five-page document to reporters to explain what he was doing that day.

mr.meldrew D22 - The video clearly shows the protesters didn't even walk through the front door of the morgue (what patients are kept in a morgue, anyway?).

...'the last strike was jailing their top orator Khun Jatuporn' Jatuporn is the Dems best ally given the lies he comes up with. I would let him loose; should gain the Dems lots of votes.

johninbkk D22: without knowing what happened before and after does not take away the fact that the reds stormed and terrorized staff and patients, there is no excuse for such actions.

mr.meldrew D19 - Do a google search for "chulalongkorn-hospital-an-alternative-account". You will find various accounts of the incident. You can't judge a video, interpreting the events as you did, without knowing what happened before and after.

I do not understand what is wrong in a perceived meeting between two highly respected, objective men with impeccable standing in society? Maybe they only talked about food or golf? Even if it was related to the upcoming election, I believe that the focus would have been on securing the best outcome for the country and ALL its citizens... In any case, a 5 page letter PROVING a meeting did not take place is impressive. A 10 page letter would have been a bit over the top. Let us hope that the blessing of the amulets was a success.

johninbkk D17: I don't think you'll get more rounded reporting than Reuters. I did search and all show as did videos, reds storming the hospital and terrorized staff and sick patients. If you found anything different show us the links or reports instead of your usual half truths.

mr.meldrew D10 - I suggest those who want a more rounded view of the hospital event to research it, as that article leaves out quite a few key facts skewing it to favor the anti-TS stance.

June should see tanks coming out for a stroll and then before you can blink, the military coup again.

By creating and distributing a 5-page alibi, Khun Apichart gives the impression that at least part of the story is true. Perhaps they met on Saturday? Or elsewhere? Khun Prayuth's denial is amusing. If it was true, would he confirm it? And why is the military involved in drug suppression in the first place? Thailand has a huge idle police force and very low crime rates (apart from corruption and extortion by we-all-know-who). Is it because the police - unlike the army - is inexperienced in suppression.
