I do not have a definitive answer to my own question
since I do not know him personally and probably could not care less.
However, judging from information in the public domain regarding this
person who is called one of the most wanted criminals in Thailand, I
would venture to say that the answer is a resounding NO! That is why I
published a blog last night about his apparent so-called VIP re....
