It doesn’t help when the only rubbish bins are in front of the local 7/11. 
This is a problem throughout Asia and most of the world. 
My worst experience, going back a few years now, was on the highway between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. There was an endless river of plastic either side of the road which I would guess to be metres deep in places

I for one have never met anyone with whom I share the same name so I see this as one of those feel good, if not quite rare, experiences.

He clearly has mental health issues and scary that he owns guns. Surely deportation back to Zurich first class is on the cards. 

Perhaps a little jail time up front as an extra deterrent to him if he is in any way considering a clandestine return. 
First class? A definite no. Perhaps the seat right at the back in front of the toilet with no seat reclining option.

Isn't that an urban myth?

I believe it is true. I saw something about it recently on a YouTube story. Most likely only enforced if the Netizens push it on an online forum demanding action from the police.

I just got translated what his wife said on the video, doesnt look good for them. A genius move to tape the incident 👏 

And then release it…. What a d-head

These money changers scrutinise foreign currency pretty well. I tried with 4 different changers to exchange a USD100 note and they all rejected it for the same reason. A tiny print defect on the top edge. Even when it was mixed with other notes they all picked up on it and refused to accept it. The note was legit and the defect was hardly noticeable so it comes as no surprise this guy was apprehended 

I think a more selective approach would be in their best interests but needs to be applied equally to all nations independent and free of any government interference to the process. I do, however, believe it would be difficult to set up such a system in Thailand without compromise. I guess that rules me out. 

They certainly are an asset of convenience and priced to attract the customers. Quite the contrary in Australia. I don’t suppose the franchisees see a whole lot of this. 399 billion baht is a lot of money in anyone’s language.

At lot of the debt with the police is from their own union/association or whatever they call it here.  Borrowing from the government really. Seems pretty liberal with house and car loans leaving very little after debt income. 

This is also the case for government health workers. I suspect all government workers have access to this type of seemingly cheap, crippling debt

From hero to zero. How times have changed. 

The police resources spent on these types of motorcades is ridiculous. Hundreds or thousands of coppers spread along 50km of roads to allow a seemingly important person to travel at speed whilst the rest of us serfs have stand still and wait for unnecessary lengths of time. Not too bad if you can slipstream them though. 

50? Dream of getting up to 50. Where do they dream up this stuff?

 This wreak$ of double $tandard$. I wonder what a local Thai person would have to pay for the same offence. Another blatant, opportunistic money grab. There is truly no $hame when it comes to applying the law equally.

This initiative will, no doubt, bring the air pollutant levels down and stop the problem in it’s tracks. 
Why has this never been thought of before? You guys are worth more money.
