Yet another holiday at the taxpayer's expense.

Ever the xenophobe! Was just praising him on another thread in standing up for weed, but he’s capitulated with this knob of a pm and can’t help himself but attack foreigners. Anyone should be arrested for operating an illegal weed shop, shouldn’t they?

I hope the government gets of serious reprisals for dialling it back and screwing with people’s lives. 

Don't weed outlets come under the same law as reserved occupation for Thais only???????? Not sure.

Who is AL ?  

 

 

Artificial indeed...   Not a lot of intelligence in handing over 200,000 baht to an agent up front... 

 

... that doesn't help the Op though... 

 

Could he file a police report as part of a scam - then show the agent and if she doesn't refund threaten to file charges ?...   

 

Ops objective is surely to get his PR... so it could push the agent into action. 

The real possibility that he'll get any money back is extremely thin IMO - the agent is probably broke !

 

 

 

It all depends on what he was paying the agent for.........If it was for an under the table job because he didn't have the right paperwork/money. blacklist, overstay. it seems a lot 200,000 for a visa and nothing happens in 2 years. Is he on overstay????? Could be a number of reasons.

Have at it, mate! This guy should be PM not that useless smiling donkey of a mouthpiece damp squib. 

Rarely touch the stuff but having the choice is nice. It has done the country absolutely NO F HARM whatsoever other than upset some fragile expat’s olfactory senses. It is all politics, deflection and a silly national face thing. Leave it alone and focus on making life better in this country, eh what!

 you been in Thailand for 2 days???????

CCTV's reportedly not working....refused films from nearby businesses refused by the police.  Hit and Run murder but police don't seem to be concerned.  Oh, a farang? what's new?

The Passenger vans are on the police pay role and protected, same as the motorcycle taxis

The wonderful RTP at your service. Sounds like they didn't even take him in for questioning. 

The part where it is saying they recovered valuables worth up to US600,000, but has yet to retrieve them.

Well actually, it could be bundled in with many other breaches of freedom of speech. 

If he dislikes it so much, he should be happy if they send him home.

Even though she has been sexually assaulted and threatened with a firearm, SHE is the one who reported him - therefore a "grass" - granted not a nice description but :- 

"Definition. a person who informs, usually on criminals. (British, slang)"

 

(In this particular case, it would appear that "victim" could be substituted for "person", but let's test a conspiracy theory:- 

 

Girlfriend has been "bought" from a bar, and falls out with the boyfriend over money, so says she has been sexually assaulted. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but are sexual favors not what bar girls provide? The fact that he has  firearms all over the place gives her an "edge" so she "grasses" him up?

 

Personally, I'm glad they caught him, the only Russians (or any other foreigner) that have firearms shouldn't be here - their country is at war, and if he has such a liking for firearms I am sure that nice Mr Putin could find him a job?

So your saying its ok to rape and sexually assault girls/women so long as you have paid the bar fine. I would say she is a VICTIM not a grass.

Great being a cop here, just wait for the grasses to give you a call - happy days.

I thought it said his GF reported him for sexual assault and threatening her with a firearm. hardly a grass.

Best of luck with that.

They do it on TV about 30 times a day. Singa, Chaing, Leo, and Carabao First three do it by soda water, but they know everyone thinks beer. Carabao does it openly with the Carabao Cup and Champions League. on Thairath in Thailand and Bein Sports which also can be seen in Thailand.

I'm still amazed at how easy it is to steal jewelry from Thai gold shops

Police think the taxi driver was in on it. I think if he was, there were more than him involved. You ask to see a 1-million-baht bracelet, so the assistant takes it out puts in on the counter and gets distracted????? How convenient!

What a very strange argument you field.

So using your logic, should Heroin be legalized?

After all, just because it's there, you don't have to shoot up.

It's people that carry out the crimes to get their next fix, not the Heroin,

Correct!  Alcohol is legal, just because you don't want to drink it, doesn't mean it should be band!  It's like murder and rape, they aren't legal, but some people choose to commit these crimes, others don't. In ALL societies you are going to get those who break the law and those who respect the law. Look what happened in the 1920s , 1930s how many people (including innocent one) were murdered just because the government band alcohol. It the same with drugs same thing is happening, just a different product!

Who did the foreigner piss off? That takes some effort.

A German guy according to the article. took him from behind while the Belgium guy was sat down. Coward twice over!

It's about time that this evil and dangerous drug got banned.

 

Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to drink it! It's people who create accidents, not the alcohol.

I would maybe go with that. The video that shows him have a crap If you look at his eyes, he seems oblivious to his surroundings.

Why didn't the neighbours call the plod when they heard screams?

 

Why did it take the plod 13 hours to check on her after her friend raised concerns?

 

R.I.P

If I read it correctly. It says friends reported her missing and it took the police 13 hours to get there. But Neighbors say they heard 2 loud screams then total silence, just a FEW HOURS before the police arrived. ??????????

The farangy is a complete fool.........

If he was pissed, it's going to cost him! Maybe rented motorbike, Passenger hospital bill, taxi rider hospital bill. His hospital bill (all be it a short visit) Trying to evade police custody. and the fines and/or jail time. from the courts. Plus, Autim's rants yesterday about getting though on foreigners breaking the law won't help his case. Hope he has rich parents.

Yes, they do. Must be political but I don't know how. Any ideas?

I know Thai politicians like fish heads, but I don't think they like horse's heads😀

Do we know if the water throwing will be for the whole duration of the event ( 10 days ) ?

By tradition it is usually the last day. But like all traditions it gets extended.   A bit like guy Fawkes Night, firs and fireworks days before the %th.
