BUT POLICE WARN 'BE CAREFUL. YOU COULD BE SUED'.


The Thai National Commission for Human Rights has provided a hotline and an email for any witnesses who feel they can shed new light on the murders of Britons David Miller and Hannah Witheridge on the island of Koh Tao.

But almost simultaneously Deputy Police Commissioner-General Pol Col Somyos Pumphanmuang was warned that people who share false information could be charged with insulting officials.

The Deputy Commissioner said the investigation was transparent and he was totally satisfied that no wrongful arrests have been made. But the net has been flooded by allegations that police, who have arrested two Burmese migrant workers, named as Win and Saw, have merely found scapegoats.

Meanwhile police say that the reason a third Burmese migrant workers who was also detained has not been released as he is under protective custody as a witness. The man known as Maw originally said he was sitting on the beach smoking and playing the guitar together with the two other men, and then went home. He saw no incident.

Awaiting murder and rape charges



Police have also interviewed three men who claimed that had boiling water poured over them. They are reported to have been treated well.

The National Commission for Human Rights has said that information given will be treated in confidence.

Dr. Niran
Police claim that as they have DNA matches to the killers there can be no doubt about the case. It appears that not only did the suspects give DNA after they were taken into custody, but also earlier in the police investigation.

The Human Right Commission contacts are as follows and should go directly to Dr. Niran, the Commissioner himself.

Thai penis whitening trend raises eyebrows

Image copyright LELUXHOSPITAL Image caption Authorities warn the procedure could be quite painful A supposed trend of penis whitening has captivated Thailand in recent days and left it asking if the country's beauty industry is taking things too far. Skin whitening is nothing new in many Asian countries, where darker skin is often associated with outdoor labour, therefore, being poorer. But even so, when a clip of a clinic's latest intriguing procedure was posted online, it quickly went viral. Thailand's health ministry has since issued a warning over the procedure. The BBC Thai service spoke to one patient who had undergone the treatment, who told them: "I wanted to feel more confident in my swimming briefs". The 30-year-old said his first session of several was two months ago, and he had since seen a definite change in the shade. 'What for?'
