I guess that's the end of the previous topic which predicted that England would pass out Germany as the EEC leader by 2030

Consider yourself lucky that they didn't get in 10 taxi bikers to kick some sence into you!

'' a male teenager, aged approximately 20-25,'' You're no longer a teen after ninteen

''Fugitive prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra'' surely that should have read ''EX prime minister''

Incorrect title.... nobody can understand Russian ignorance.Maybe your title should read ''I just witnessed Russian ignorance at first hand''

Only thing I never understood about some Thai-parents, is how they can live with sending their daughters work in GoGo bars - and call them constantly for to have them send more and more money (even after they have built the house and bought the pick-up truck).

How they as parents can do that and live with themselves, I will never understand... Maybe you can ask that? Personally, I would rather work myself to death, than send my daughter into prostitution. But I guess these parents will not be members of that site anyway...

Not really sure but I figure that's an Issan thing

They're scum just like soi dogs attacking a lone dog

Who cares but it's good for farangs living here on a foreign pension so the weaker the better.

Correct me if I'm wrong - but isn't Ireland somehow in the Schengen thing too? You get one visa for the "Schengen area" and it lets you roam across a large number of borders! But (here comes the glitch): you still need one visa, and in most Schengen-associated countries, that's almost harder to get than a license to print money...

OK I'll correct you! You're wrong and we are not.

Let's see the tourist figures plummet and watch these morons scratch their head and wonder why!

What an ass..le, Those stats are pathetic with most of the crimes being misdemeanors. I'd like to see the crime figures for Thais on Phuket, I seriously doubt if they're lower.

Well, it's official then, with these statistics, Phuket is to be renamed Pattaya 2.

I would like to personally congratulate the BiB and Phuket's influential people for their wonderful administration of the island. Job well done. Keep up the good work.

Why Pattaya 2 ?

I have never ever been stopped and searched in Pattaya.

You probably don't drive a moped then!

Don't worry about it, Thais are fast enough to correct us if we try to speak Thai or just pretend that they don't have a clue what we're trying to say!

including a traumatic amputation of his left foot below the knee

I believe most feet are below the knee.

You're so smart, sure everyone knows that the foot is below the knee but not all amputations are. An amputation of the foot could also occur above the ankle or if more of the leg is lost it could be below the knee. Think about it and RIP to the victim who was probably rented a high powered motorbike without having to prove he was qualified to ride it.

Suicide???

What was he gonna do with the sledge hammer?

Maybe something simple like wedge it against the bedroom door.The man was desperate and not thinking about TV sleuths questions. RIP

Why don'y you copy a picture of them off Facebook and post it and see if anyone recognizes them or would that be against the rules?

Well done for standing up to him.

I thought I saw that they had 2 Indian looking men suspects in this case or was that another safe cracking crew?

Sorry it was Vietnamese.

Two Vietnamese sought for B1.6m Phuket ATM heist
Eakkapop Thongtub


Wanted suspects: Tran Dano Hoa and Nguyen Thanh

PHUKET: -- Police have issued arrest warrants for two Vietnamese men wanted for breaking into an ATM at Boat Lagoon a month ago and stealing B1.65 million.

The two have been named as Tran Dano Hoa and Nguyen Thanh, both aged 27, but getting them into court may take some time; police said the two are already back in their home country.

Pol Lt Col Prawit Angchuan explained that the investigation zeroed in on the duo after they were filmed by a security camera attempting earlier the same day to break into an ATM in Thalang.

That attempt was unsuccessful, so the two Vietnamese then went to Boat Lagoon where they successfully opened the Siam Commercial Bank ATM using a cutting torch, and made off with the money.

From questioning witnesses and looking at CCTV footage along the way, police tracked them as far as Patong, and were able to identify both.

Immigration officers around the country have been alerted to keep an eye out for the thieves, just in case, but it is believed they left the country through Nong Khai into Laos and made their way home from there soon after the robbery.

Pol Col Sermphan Sirikhong, superintendent of Phuket Town Police, noted that the robbers had been helped by the fact that the alarm on the ATM was not linked to the police but a centralised bank security system, so valuable time had been lost alerting police, allowing the duo to make good their escape.

For any proper legal advice go to Magna Carta law firm if you are in Pattaya. Extremely reliable and reputable. There are a few falangs working there and one is English and another chap called Peter is Irish.

I hate to be a Thai Visa speculator detective but they were in a hospital and considering the guardrail and channel didn't stop them maybe the doctor had given one of them bad news and the driver decided to end it all. Sorry.

From what I've read today in the Bangkok Post this story is all fabrication shame on her if she's using her son as a pawn.

Seems to meblike a good case for not putting up those horrible security grills and turning your home into an inescapable prison.
