Are you seriously equating smoking a joint with raping someone? i think you better hold off on pointing the finger on making dumb remarks!

Sounds fair, give him 6 months, a 200k fine, and lifetime ban from Thailand. Let him go home and spread the word.

What makes you say that? It sounds to me like they are making an effort to capture this thug.

yes, the first thing I thought of as well, easier to control digital. Color me paranoid!

Are there no commonalities among them? At what point are these going to be noticed to be a pattern? 555

In my opinion, this US "help with crime" is not about fighting organized crime, this is about spying on China and gaining favor with Thai government to try to pivot it away from a China alliance or friendship. The US CIA in fact works regularly with organized crime and terrorists groups to further its aims. It seemingly has no interest nor ability to reduce either of those things, despite claims to the contrary.

LOL are you kidding? Nobody notices a little head-kicking. In the USA this is just how the police say good morning. Yeee haw!

The equation would be: revenue increase = (new tax revenues collected) - (number of people who leave because of taxes) * (amount of fees and taxes, especially VAT collected per person leaving). So if enough people stay, income outweighs the leavers. Furthermore, one might argue it probably improves Thailand by reducing the number of fat white bellies on beaches. LOL

Well, this does not stabilize the cannablis industry, it protects the hemp industry and destroys the cannabis industry. It's fun to watch them try to put the genie back in the bottle here. The fact is this will gore a lot of oxen, so politically it will be a fun fight. Not over yet I think.

Thanks for clarifying. I thought someone named "Ms. Ma'am" would for sure be a male.

LOL this exact argument happens with every article of every fight in Thailand on this forum. "Thais do this" and "Brits do that." LOL enjoy the freak show and relax.

Sheesh, you get convicted for just one lousy bribery offense and people act like they can't trust you any more! What's the world coming to?

OK now that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of in my life. Reminds me of a couple once that killed the woman's husband so they could run off together, and took pictures of the body dismemberment. They had the pics developed at Walgreens. Derp derp.

I think this is because traffic laws are not well enforced in Thailand. Maybe if the police were more evident on the road, and actually enforced a traffic rule once in a while, people would drive better? Naturally the subject of bribes is important, as driver licenses are optional here and if you want you can just go buy one and skip the tests from what I've heard.

As a person with no religion, I don't see much difference between this boy and any other religious claims.
