Well done to the OP for stopping and helping and doing what he could to assists the victim. it was all going well till

" I flashed my retired police badge and stopped traffic so ambulance could get to victim "

<deleted>!!!!

Just what is a " Retired police badge " when its at home ? I presume it isn't a Thai police badge so just what did the OP think people would do when seeing it ?

Reality check !

YOU ARE NO LONGER A COPPER!

YOU ARE FARANG !

Maybe they should issue the ex SAS, SBS, delta force, CIA with these cards so we can verify the guys who tell us they are EX

Didn't want go go there as I figured my critical and necessary constructive criticism would be contentious enough and I was right, you've got brass my man..

He knows the art of writing, to engage the listener!

Despite the doom and gloom, there is a strong likelihood the girls will receive some help. Strong clues are the fact that the tip off came from the Paveena Hongsakul Foundation and the involvement of the special human trafficing taskforce from the Children, Juvenile and Women's Division (CWD),

The task force doesn't screw around. They take their jobs seriously and have not been implicated in any significant wrongdoing, The task force has a good professional relationship with the groups that help people like these girls.

I believe Mrs. Paveena Hongsakil is a Bangkok MP of and general secretary of the Chart Pattana Party. She is a trained social worker and has a pretty good reputation. Back in 2006, the Nation said she was voted the female politicain with the best moral image. (The same poll said PM Abhisit was the politician with the best moral image.) Anyway, this woman is one heavy duty hitter and if her foundation is involved, you can be assured something will happen. For you trivia lovers she's chairwoman of Thailand's Fire & Rescue Association. (What woman doesn't like a fireman? )

Have some faith. Not every Thai public official is corrupt. Some really do have a heart and do care about people.

Well said, and a sense of comfort to know there is at least 1 reliable significant leader to police the corruption....

The invaders can only be blamed; how can a conflict inside your property be your fault?

Purpose of an Army, invade my land- I shoot you- period.

Thai moved across legal land border- they are at fault.

Why is gonzo the face complaining about this news report?

The Nation is on top of the things happening here in Thailand; I appreciate being able to read English news here...

If you don't like, why are you still here?

Every one is judged by their employment; they see white collar very separate with blue collar jobs. As if working with hands is below lower class....

I am a farang; stayed here 6 years- accumulated many properties, contracts, and court judgements to collect. I am leaving Thailand; who wants to inherit everything?

Talk to a lawyer; ask how to inherit it all. I want those things I bought to give to person I choose; not allow the greedy criminals to keep- only people I know in thailand.

Pathetic politicians; the inocent must suffer- lose their school, just because of the actions of a few.

To close a building, any building because of an incident no matter how bad, is unreasonable.

That is no solution, just avoiding a problem, that will move to another location.

More importantly, why punish the students that are happy and productive there?

My motorcycle is 11 years old; never had 1 day of trouble using bio fuel. I stopped using 91 benzine primarily to boycott oil companies!

I don't know why anyone thinks gasahol is not good.

When I came here, marriage visa was all I could get to live here. Thai wife took me for millions. I didn't know farang couldn't own houses.... Having my last name, I thought it was mine- wrong!

Don't be so quick to criticize us shmucks, needing a marriage visa to live here.

Don't waste your time in court, just like another said, "farangs always lose in court"....

This article begins with US Embassy; as if they care or would do something!

They completely ignored me when I went to them to report 30+ ATM withdrawals that wiped out my savings- over $10,000 stolen. Not 1 investigation both US and Thailand authorities!

Totally worthless organization!

The Civic sedan's insurer may offer up to Bt1 million compensation for each death.

Surely the Civic's insurance is null and void if the driver doesn.t possess a valid driver licence???

That would be the case; but thai law has no rules....

I won I court judgement, no punishment applied to the criminal....

As a farang; I see a huge culture difference in driving- it is called courtesy! Thai people can't understand the word or meaning of it.

Proof; why every intersection, thai person "must" get in front of person already there? Rude; another word Thai people don't accept or understand!

End result- this type of accident....

If I am wrong; explain why you must get in front of a person; what makes you so much more important than the person already there?
