How many man hours? How much effort? What utter irresponsible waste of resources. 8 Yabba pills, suggests such evil, crime and corruption that this even gets "aired"?

There is a serious question mark over what is important. Fine its a funny photograph, but about what?

Does this poor individual now have to pay the police to stay out of prison because he was just trying to have a bit of a good time? Most likely and if he cannot another waste of a good life that although a little high at night or with his friends, would still be going to work and living with his family and being productive.

The world is crazy.

somebody could gamble on the result of a game!    Can you imagine the horror and social havoc that could ensue from that! The disassembling of Thai culture, the affront to Buddhism?      Careful folks!

....i think statistics are never objective, i lived in bangkok a year long recently and i found it quite save, even i rode a hired 'pun pun' bicycle all the time, i love krung thep...:-)

I have a friend 76 who has lived there all her life. No problems so far. So ??????

How does this work?

Anyway you know about the people that collect these so-called statistics. REally . . . . . . !!!

The Australian Government is only likely to find out if and when you enter the country with your Thai wife and you say you are married. Then within the prescribed time, she will be entitled to Aus benefits.

Whether or not you let the Department of Births Deaths and Marriages know you are married is up to you, and you can let Centerlink know you are married. If you don't tell Dept BD&M, means you can divorce without the Aus expenses and complications. 

In other words at the moment I believe you can keep these two information streams separate. 

Yes and a modest improvement in the justice system is worth a mention isn't it?

Really is anything else needed to produce "real' civilisation.

Improvement, as long as I have been here I have seen none

Judging by the reports of this kind, there does not seem to have been an "improvement" at least in the 10 years I have experience in Thailand. In fact of late it is as bad if not worse than ever. 

About the only country/ territory that seems to have "improved" their law and order record in ASEAN at least, is Singapore, and I guess we can largely say they have concentrated hard, on disincentives. Harsh penalties actually working. I better not do that, I don't want a really hard spanking. 

We may find them repugnantly hard, but humans are resilient, ruthless animals that need to be trained. 

It seems that with the degeneration of polite society under the influence of ever more lax moral codes, excuses, lame reasons, the influence of designer drugs and the blanket penetration of pharmaceuticals, our ability to reason, seems to be declining. 

I am an optimist, but we have to "see" the rot before we cut it out.

There are scumbags and she got one. Yes I agree she should get it out on social media or even the Aus media if she can

it is time the authorities started to ask why people need to go to the media (not just this particular case) to get the police to actually do what they are supposed to do, that is a fundamental 3rd world flaw and needs to be addressed, we all know and have heard about people going to the police to report a crime and  have basically been told to (piss) off unless they go to the media or are willing to pay money, that is not how policing works in any civilised country 

Fine but we come to 3rd World countries for myriad "other" benefits. Don't we? So what can we expect?

Anything can happen on an open forum. . . and does and will. . . once we let our thoughts out for all to read.  Unless you are a poet, alcohol is also ill advised for writers. Personal experience noted haha

Yea, but what if that Australian British nut bag had access to an AK rather than a machete???

People like that screw things up for the rest of us. 

Yes well we should all get in touch wiht our Expat frineds o/s and let the know not to come here and attack people with machetes for fear of getting a bad reputation

hahaah

Comedy writers looking for material? We're all very angry so we'll sentence you to death. My brother sells newspapers. Or works at Thai Visa. 

We know you won't be executed but it feels good to say it.

Its opportunistic racism. There are so many Thai baggers on here, that any opportunity to bring the baggers down to size is seized upon. Normal sort of biff baff buff stuff. Best not to take much notice of it.

What is an elderly guy doing escalating "anything" with a much younger Thai man. That in itself is truly idiotic. Beyond belief and he's obviously live in Thai for a while. On that score he should keep a civil tongue in his mouth. Who's on drugs here??????

This shows everything that is wrong with road usage in Thailand. She thinks she can park wherever she wants, can drive away knocking others down with impunity and will probably get a piss poor fine with a couple of wai's thrown in. Only when this sort of antosocial behaviour is rewarded with significant jail time, are we ever likely to see improvements in peoples driving behaviour here.

That's not dangerous driving its assault with what is potentially a deadly weapon. They should upgrade the charge.

This is one of the areas that alcohol plays its role on such a regular basis, its happening as we speak all day, every day, 24 hours a day all over the world. If we had the ears for it, we would be listening to the car crunches, one after the other, while we are having our morning coffee. All day every day. Like a ruthless killing machine.

On the other hand, for people who want to puff on some weed and drive half the speed, and probably more carefully, or chill out with some heroin and contemplate the garden of eden, or just have a few dreams with opium or hashish, or even speed up a little in the mind for dancing on a little meth; they risk getting put in the pen for twenty years to life or being EXECUTED by the state. That means the State make you Dead. Finished. Reducing you to a memory for your family.

Thou Shalt Drink Alcohol and Nothing but Alcohol for Your Pleasures.

Thou Shalt Have No Other Drugs Before Me. etc etc

Something is not right here. The law and people's priorities are so bent out of shape, the plot has been lost completely.

Before the wowsers, start tsk tsking and wagging their great pudgy or bony fingers, sure any drug can be abused, but we cannot prevent the odd people from going to excess on anything or buying the wrong stuff because it is illegal and there are no quality controls. Its human nature to make mistakes, but getting some rationality in the law wouldn't be a bad thing. Would it?

I know of a tall, handsome, personable young Pakistani man wasting his time away in one of the worst places on earth, a Philippine jail, because he got caught with a bit of meth and refused to sleep with the disgustingly obese, pimply, greasy daughter of the local Chief of Police. Well he did it once in desperation before making himself sick and taking his medicine like a man. She must be pretty awful.

How's that for the so called Law and Justice set?

So what's life like for him now? He gets his meth in the jail and probably has to have his sex alone.

While BIG ALCOHOL'S death drum beats in his ears at night, rumbling away in the distance endlessly.

What a waste.

Right, this is one of these non-dangerous drugs, that doesn't harm anybody available at the corner store.
