One of the reasons I’m calling the nominee scrutiny a “Witch Hunt” is because one of the declared target of said inquiry will be the “Thai wife”. Yes, the Thai wife, not the Thai Spouse. There is gender discrimination in this whole Thai wife business that i do not like at all.

Assuming that Thai authorities take as announced a hard stance in relation to the matter of “companies that own land with Thai Shareholders that may be deemed nominees” and assuming that the company do not fight back the accusations. What would happen then?

If you are a regular reader of my posts you already know that I believe that the “foreign investors that have purchased land through a company with Thai Shareholders that may be deemed nominees” is a big messy situation that at one point will need to be resolved.

During his latest nationwide inspection tour of 30 provinces, Anuwat Meteewiboonwut, the director-general of the Thai Land Department let an old monster lose again.

As you know a “witch hunt is a search for witches or evidence of witchcraft, often involving moral panic, mass hysteria and lynching, but in historical instances also legally sanctioned and involving official witchcraft trials. The term “witch-hunt” is often used by analogy to refer to panic-induced searches for perceived wrong-doers other than witches.” Now Thailand has been since 2006 affected by a serious political crisis and the successive governments since the beginning of this crisis have been under a lot of pressure.

There have been a lot of activities on the “nominees” front lately. It is an issue that resurfaces from time to time. Lately there has been the scandal of foreigners purchasing farm land through the cover of companies that have shareholders that may be deemed “Thai nominees”. This morning in the Bangkok post an article was published under the title “Nominees Ownership under watch”.
