Just heard from a friend in police that he was fired promptly and will be prosecuted to the full extend of the law !

Maybe they will make an example out of this case... one can only hope.

The headline screams "racially motivated attack" which would suggest the attacker was not Asian.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out as more information is revealed.

Antoine Watson ?
To everyone with knowledge of the US, this tells you exactly the race of the attacker...

I frequently use Thai Intl's Contact centre in Bangkok to change full fare tickets, and very rarely are their issues with getting through to English speaking staff within a few minutes, provided off course you know how to dial the right number and work your way through the menu.

I live in Singapore, but always call the Thai Contact Centre in Bangkok as they are 24/7, speak English and always managed to settle every issue I have had within satisfactorily.

However, if one is unlucky, I have several friends who have used AirHelp with success, a startup focused specifically on assisting people with getting the correct refunds or compensations.

Most likely a hoax, it is the web afterall.

most likely not, its the real world afterall !

reality trumps imagination in making humanity look insane !

the cops in all of Europe would have said the same thing, stop the Thai shaming !

Pavina can be your ally, talk to them, they will surely be more than interested and willing to consult with you on this...

RIP little ones... what a tragedy !

cutting onions here... what a senseless loss of beauty and life... I'm afraid that death penalty would be in place... for one, the sense of justice for the ones left behind, the rights to closure by the ones left behind takes precedence for his right to continue living, secondly, to prevent it from happening again in a society where they can't cope with mentally deranged, and thirdly, for his own sake, when he is deranged, it doesnt make a difference, but in his few moments of clarity, he will have to come to terms with his actions, a faith possibly worse than death, and lastly, for the culprits family's sake, I know that no door in Thailand will be open for him after this, and it will bring relieve to his relatives too if he is taken away so they dont have to live with the stigma and dilemma... I believe he should be allowed to commit suicide or strongly encouraged to do so, and if he refuses, he should be put to sleep, he is one sick puppy, and that is what needs to be done with sick puppies !

Should never have let him out to rape again. This time it should be the firing squad or for a more painful end put him in a locked room with the ten women he raped and their partners.

They let similar types of people out early in NZ some / many reoffend and some have murdered after being released not just a Thai problem here.

People in NZ complain all the time about the inadequate sentencing of criminals in NZ to no avail, the Jails are full and bursting--- the solution build more prisons and privatise them Ha Ha, prisons and crime privatised into a money making scheme, some judges in the USA have been found guilty on corruption for sending people that have done virtually nothing to jail just to keep the private prisons making a profit.

It seems you have a lot of inside knowledge, unless you are referring to the judge caught in 1936... so why don't you contribute to Wikipedia with your inside information...

I have been in car accidents... The sound !

A friendly immigration officer showed me the computer screen when I was denied entry in Sungai Kolok during a Visa run... to my understanding, the computer said "No" because I had 6 Visa exemptions combined with extensions within a 6 month period... T Visa at the consulate in Kota Bharu was subsequently not a problem, and I entered the following day.

It's worth noting that it's only for entry by land that the immigration is narrowing the gaps in their enforcement of the rules, you apparently still get Visa Exemptions when you enter via Air, regardless of how many Visa Exemptions. and Extensions you have...

less than 200 ecstasy tablets, and 50 years... insanity !

good piece of community effort... nicely done by the person observing them... more of that please !

Not to be facetious... but not the BiB, but an undercover unit... however, question still stands, but will probably never be answered, however these are perhaps not your usual useless BiB's, they look a bit more wired in and turned on...

I'm continuouly entertained by the Thai reputation scale...

"he greatly damaged the reputation of Chiang Mai city"

I wonder if he had gotten away with just "damaging" if he had left his hat on !

there is something strange and unique about thai mentality, when you look at Wikipedia at the most deadly roads in the world, and Thailand on number 4 is the only country in that end of the list that most of us even remotely would consider civilised, and they are only road deaths... not counting all the other deaths, like e.g. boat or plane accidents... until some Thai people start talking about this in a straight way, I have and reserve every right to criticise Thai people's immaturity and irresponsibility, regardless of where in the world I am, however even more so since Im in Thailand and love Thailand very much, enough to be here and enjoy the good sides, and enough to even bother trying to make a change by discussing the problems...

So, to the Thai people, if you want to shut the critics, reflect on the truth of the situation and improve, then you will shut the critics, not by whining about being criticised !

funny to see how many people here jump on the chance to make judgment calls that these young buys should have their careers destroyed because of this... you guys are funny !

the few people here with a life and common sense got my likes... most others of you guys sound just like hooligans.

agreed... interesting is how he freaked out when it came to realization for the kid that he was shooting a foreigner... probably there is still more heat to be caught when you snuff a foreigner than a local here... that's somewhat comforting to know !

...I'm completely aware that I'm extrapolating in the following, however it could appear that visibly being a foreigner (dare I say white skinned foreigner) saved the guy's life... however, just pure extrapolation !

Where does it say the biker gang was Thai...?

Also, this even happens in the nanny states, bikers all over the world make a point of raping, its a male chauvinistic culture that endorses abuse and objectification of women... this happens often even in the most highly "nannied" states... bikers are just scum with a delusional sense of entitlement and a perverted perspective on life, values, fellow human beings and society !

Having reported the crime proves well for the young lass... don't let these pathetic thugs have the better of her... !

Listen... these "Bikers" (criminal organisations with a biker history background and an affinity for loud, big machines to boost their egos) are outside the law, they say that themselves, by calling themselves the outlaws... they defy justice and publicly refuse to obey by the rules and do so proudly... once you declare yourself an "outlaw", you can't morally come back and claim the right to the law when the deck is stacked against you, can you really... nopes, they have declared themselves outlaws, which means the protection of the law doesn't apply... most of them are also great at tax-evasion and social fraud (many of them receive well-fare and pension), which paints an even more pathetic picture of these career juveniles delinquents... summa summarum, they don't want to obey the law (and declare it publicly with pride, so naturally they can't call on the protection when they want it... pathetic that his is even being discussed, and it's even more ludicrous that he is being public addressed with his made-up title in his gangster organisation / slash biker club... scum like that deserve no public respect !

Anyways, my 25cents... you don't want to obey the law, you can't expect it's protection, civilisation is based on give and take !

And in this case, it just a matter of Australia making a judgment call stating that he doesn't fit the profile of what is wanted in Australia... that is totally within the reams of the rules and it's incredible that it has to be escalated to that level before a piece of shit like this guy can be denied Visa ! Amazing !

correction, they are not using black powder but a mixture of pig shit and some other fun stuff... not saying it's not lethal, but get you facts straight before posting, there IS a difference between things in the world, no, snake, crocodile, rabbit and mongoose doesn't taste like chicken, people are just too blind and ignorant to tell the difference...

I was attending the Yasothorn fest last weekend, and there were no accidents... but these festivals are popular all over Eesan, Yasothorn just happens to be a large one which is extraordinarily well promoted...

as everything else in the world, nothing is perfect, so by definition nor is Thainess... so off course there are bad aspects to Thainess, or are you suggesting Thainess is the perfect way of being ?
