Problem here plenty of regulations but no one to check or enforce. It seems anyone can buy or sell and if caught no real tort to prevent others. There are no Title companies 3rd party to research ownerships, Leans on properties even if there were not sure it would make a difference with corruption so wide spreaded.

If he had jumped didn't die end up in hospital being Chinese would they charged him double, held him hostage until his bill is paid in full like other farangs we have read about? Guess we won't know in this case.

Based on story headlines " overstays " 391 not staying at location, regardless this is construed as overstayed? 228 had already departed that's considered overstayed! 331 had already requested their overstay, still consider? Now 109 already die that's a overstayed. This is news!

Bashing you act as if you know the intent of the others you seem to believe everything that is written as if it is the Bible or something. I've not bash anyone except express an opinion as to what normally happens going to court for something like this if you believe the guy got a fare deal that is you being naive in my opinion. As of now all I've heard he was agressive not seem or anyone produce a video evidence showing he or anyone in the group broke his mirror. Any real justice system could never render such a judgement let alone brag as if justice was done in the media this only does more harm and stereotyping their system. If I was Thai I would be embrassed of such a system.

If that is your orgin so be it so it should be written.

Get with the program this was and is a kangorro court him realizing it went with the program he refused to pay so they put him through the ringer he realized when in court when he looked around and realized the lawyer was the cleaning lady LOL

Yea I can see you up to date. It was a mock court, janitor was the judge, court reported was the cleaning lady, attorneys were judge atta boys all going through the motion. ????

Never going to happen look at the picture of him smiling does that look he series?

Try to keep up! As I wrote in other responses last night what is being done in this case isn't the norm this is to squeeze him at what point being put through the ringer will he cave. You actually believe Thai courts operate 24/7, In less than 24 hours paper are filed, court time is scheduled, hearing is convene, case is heard judgement given? Get real! If they took this standard with everyone Thai in particular on the road they would be riding at the top year in year out for deaths on the road.

I heard the decision was made by the judge just before his happy ending.

maybe? Hard to believe a Thai driving the Van wasn't, you chase after the vehicle Tailgate honk horn, driver might have behave clam in the end tough to believe he was the entire time. Regardless the Aussie caved I saw they will run him through the meat grinder at what point will he break. 10-40, Thai courts judge rule within 24 hours LOL, win for Thai system Again sure Hong Tong all around. ????

How so not? I stand by my position as I noted in other post justifying my comment. They settle cause the Aussie caved to the damages instead of having to go to court. This wasn't settle it was blackmail 40,000 baht for a mirror

What police here do on a regular bases is blackmail. I've heard it first hand for years from my police neighbor and his coworkers while they drink and get drunk maybe because I look Thai and play into the conversation tea stupid farang they forget I'm one. They know majority are on vacation therefore need to leave on time back to jobs or just home they don't want trouble scared so they know in their way got you by the balls. So they try to negotiate a settlement because they know foreigners got money this point of view is throughout their system reaffirmed last year by their courts that we should paid more because we are better off. Someone mentioned his body language sitting being disrespectful think it is more I'm not paying that amount attitude even arrogance? So they are at a stalemate punishment is to file charges put you in jail run you through the ringer give you a court date to return in which many by then have had enough and pay up. Many are so scared <deleted> good example heard this from my neighbors stationed in Pattaya Soi 9, the story where the Indian grab the ass of the Thai school teacher they got 200,000 off the guy my neighbor said they put him through the process they thought he was going to <deleted> in his pants he couldn't get out fast enough. Then you got lots of expat whether right or wrong in accident 100% Thai at fault Just pay up instead of standing up for themselves. In this case maybe BIB are wrong we will never know. Broker mirror threats ????

Provide the link of the video! The story here Asean and the link after the story there is no video!

Sure laws are different this being Thailand they need a tough Lawyer to get those answers. Did the bank know did they auction and disclose the fact to her.

Thanks. Why not top it off by calling Big Joke to fly in with his private jet to settle the matter. I'm sure the courts were agree.

Murder yes I stand by that comment! This was a broken mirror the story as always poorly written lack information unless police have more from the story it is he said he said basically his word against his yet filing charges against the foreigner for damage property and threats involving the courts seem extreme beyond what is their normal. Looks like police have their minds made up with no evidence. You got stories guys taking shots at people and settle with a sorry Wai 500 Baht case close here it is going to court. You don't see something wrong then it must be your orgin! ????

Tough to understand why police is handling a case like this as if it was murder? Especially in a he/she said case in which a mirror was broken. Charges being filed and case being forwarded to Prosecutor which is unusual I suspect police threw out a payment amount that the Aussie wouldn't pay! What a total waste of time!

????Now I see why this country is in constant fighting!

This is prime example why religion has no business in public policies. Monastic code Thai Law = Land of Stupidity. Where is the elephant? LOL

So now the cat is out of bag what is going t be done ? NOTHING!????

Seem my comments struck a nerve, ever hear of humor bit sensitive insecure. ????????

Those goals might push the baht stronger that isn't to go well with many that live and visit.????

Yea right neighbor! "I" now my neighbor. Pay up or move in with your neighbor. ????
