"Local police advised him to relocate as the group of creditors was influential, had numerous associates, and did not fear local law enforcement." When I read that it just brought home the ineffectiveness and impotency of the Plod.

You know how they base their forecasts on a roll of the dice

Surprise Surprise. Do I smell an insurance scam ?

IF he WAS wearing a 200.000bht bracelet !

More money will be changing hands

The first year I came to LOS I had this in Pattaya.I was renting bike bikes and at the back of Jomtien they nearly killed me when I got a bucket of water in the face from a pick up while riding.I stayed up .Parked the bike for 10 days and never went back to Pattaya during Songkran again. Esan has succumbed to the uncivilized water throwing idiots but as you say only for three days thankfully.

Correct but I remember it being enforced under Taksin

Well ,not opening Shopping Malls until 10 am , closing Service stations at midnight and not selling alcohol between 2pm and 5 pm [I'm not sure of the times] were all Shinawatra ideas and look how well they worked. So why not a month long Songkran ?

We're not in Kansas anymore Toto

Glad only he the boat anchor was hurt not some other innocent.

For go fund me money?

Ex-pats have been on about the " Imminent fall of the Thai economy" for 20 years that I know of.

I had a bad experience in Korat when a bar a mate and I were at had a table of drunk Thais acting like dickheads. Maha Sarakaham coppers have had a bad reputation for a long time.

Men with children's brains , Driving ,and Guns great combination

Yeah not like Thailand.

It's not pick ups ,motorcycles,trucks ,cars,or buses, it's the complete lack of driving skills, drunk driving, and NO law enforcement .

Russia is booming.The sanctions are a joke.

I'm surprised it's so low. Maybe much more out of sight

Yep nothing that can't be side stepped.Ignored or that a little backsheesh can't fix

Hub of U- turns !

Is this a serious question? How long has the O.P. been in Thailand?

Run away! Run away!

Probably better than those Police wannabe volunteers in Pattaya that I've seen on TV
