An outraged Colonel draws my attention to this report concerning the "swirly face" suspect:

"Neil was no stranger to Thailand, having once taught in a Bangkok language school, but his hiding place was revealed by a trace on the mobile phone of his 25-year-old Thai boyfriend, identified by transvestites in the seedy beach town of Pattaya.

"They went together to different provinces, probably on the run, and the last call made was from Nakhon Ratchasima. So I sent my men there," tourist police chief Chuchart Suwannakom told Reuters."

the seedy beach town ?? whatever your personal view of Pattaya , this is an outrageous statement for a journalist to write on a major website. It personalises the report and breaks all the rules of journalism, apart from the shocking slur on the owners of legitmate businesses ( the majority) and the thousands of ex-pats who live in Pattaya.

I wonder if tourist police chief Chuchart Suwannakom will castigate Nopporn Wong-Anan ?
