You are not asking the correct questions
1. Who is he
2. Who does he know
3. How much $$$

Not only did he confess to this attack, he also admitted to doing this same thing on a number of other occasions. Nice police and judicial systems we have here. Hopefully she regains some memory and can identify him before he does this again or worse. Perhaps some locals may have a different view of justice.

I am just surprised that someone thinks this is 'news'. It is a daily occurrence in this nepotitistic, cronyistic land.
Unfortunately, 60% or more of this country cannot see that the HISO are 'extracting the michael' out of them, as they prostrate themselves before a military dictatorship.

So, what's new, what's changed? This will only be 'news' when the perpetrator is dismissed, charged and gaoled. Until then it is just normal 'government business'.

MrMr, please try to read the story before commenting. It was the daughter of the deceased who stated ' he was a nice guy', not the killer. Unbelievable, no not really!

Personally, knowing and understanding the RTP's desire to ensure that ALL crimes are investigated, managed and determined on an equal basis, I am not sure what the problem is. Surely the dedication, professionalism and desire to reach an unbiased, truthful and evidentiary compelling outcome in this matter mirrors that of HISO 16 year old (no licence) driver that killed 9 University people, and the HISO Mercedes driver that incinerated two University students. I won't mention the excellent and above reproach investigation in Koh Tao.
How can you possibly doubt the veracity of the RTP statements. You obviously don't understand forensic policing.

I wonder if you would be so indignant if your income was stopped. Ivory towers syndrome.
Many people rely on their daily, weekly, monthly income the lack of which has not only economic but social and psychological consequences, leading possibly to depression, anxiety, death.
Unfortunately the people making the decisions are, possibly like you, not affected by the ramifications of lack of finances.

First, thank you for your efforts. Interestingly my Thai wife and I attended the Korat Immigration office last week following my weekend away in Pattaya. We were told that my wife MUST submit a TM30 EVERY time I return home from an inter or intra province or international absence of more than 24 hours. Failure to do so WOULD result in a fine.
Not quite the same as you were told...!

My fellow TV contributors, I would like to thank you for maintaining our high level of mediocrity, when commentating upon the various social issues that enfold before us. There are many of us that display a wry sense of humour (I think it is a welcome Greek trait), a wonderful turn of phrase, and eloquent argument.
Then there are the rest of us who seem to have a mortgage on drivel, valueless and often vain comments that take us nowhere. But there you have it, our comments whether laudable, valid, inconsequential or just plain stupid, are actually going nowhere.
We are merely using TV as a means of airing our opinions, and as we all know “opinions are like . Everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks."
I like reading everyone’s comments. Obviously I don’t always agree with the sentiments expressed, but then I don’t have to. Neither do I find a need to disparage someone else’s comments, even if they are ridiculous, racist, homophobic or just plain stupid!
However way we interpret another writer’s contribution, liking or disliking, agreeing or not agreeing with the sentiments therein, remember it is only the writer’s personal commentary. They are not asking or demanding we agree with their take on what is occurring. So, accept it for what it is, someone’s personal opinion, and move on.
Lately on TV we seem to have too many narcissists who think that only their opinion is worthwhile and therefore they need to denigrate the opinion of another. Grow up.
Read, ignore, laugh and move on – get a life. Share your opinion, but please stop this childish sniping, it is sooooo boring!

James, your wife didn't change, she was always like that. You just didn't notice!
Look at the facts, she talked you into buying a business that her and her family allowed to go bust - mai bpen rai. It is not her money so she doesn't care. You have brought her back to her village where she holds the power and can dictate the terms of your relationship - pay, pay pay, bend, bend, bend or go, go, go!
She has shown by allowing you to take the child that he was not high on her agenda - until she realized that without the child you have no obligation to support her. The child to her is, in part, her money ticket;
he is her bargaining chip as she knows you care for your son and won't leave him starving; there is her (not the child's) weekly incomeTaking him back to the UK is one option, but you have to consider if you are capable (on your own) of raising a 3 year old boy. Do you have sufficient family support in the UK should anything happen to you. Being 65 is not the problem, it is your long-term health that will determine if you can provide your son with the support he needs over the long term.
You also have consider his relationship with his mother. She might be a money grabbing bitch to you, but to him she is his mother. Their relationship is important to his welfare and upbringing. Ok he might not be eating the foods that you prefer or think he should be having, but it is the food that his Thai family eats and he will fall in with that over time.
I agree that he may not have the choices and opportunities that you think the UK can provide for him, but he will have his mother and other family support for many years to come. Can you provide that to him if you return with him to the UK.
There is no easy answer to this, especially if your love for/relationship to, your son is strong. If you do manage to get him out of the country, I presume on a UK passport. You can bet your life your wife won't be far behind - as you and him are her money ticket!
If you leave him here with her you will have a moral obligation (no legal obligation that I am aware of) to provide money for his (her) care. How much would depend upon your finances.
Before you make any decision consider the following:
- Do you wish to remain with this women
- Are you happy to remain in Thailand, possibly not with your wife, and visit your son periodically
- Could you live with your wife in her Thai village, knowing that possibly you will be treated like dirt (even murdered?) and be paying through the nose for everything for everyone
- Is it possible to take your son back to the UK, legally
- In the UK can you provide him with the full family support he needs - in the long term
- Would it be fair on him to be distanced from his mother and Thai family, indefinitely
- Finally, can you accept that he may have to remain in the care of his mother while you return to the UK - and have occasional visits - which by the way will be determined by the mother on how much support you send her!
Sorry cobber, not an easy choice all round. Me? I would take my son and run, but that's just me!

I reckon he should double-up with Sarah Palin and we would have another Lucie & Dezi comedy show - way to go, bring laughter back to politics…

On that basis we can expect at least another 3 Pakistani thieves to be roaming the earth. The LOS should IMMEDIATELY deport them.

Just like the Thai people and many of TV commentators, the US seems to have forgotten (deliberately?) what this is all about. YT took all the plaudits when she was PM for the many good things (she alleged) her government did for the people of Thailand. Ipso facto, she should take responsibility for the corruption perpetrated under her watch. For anyone to say that the allegations are merely a Junta imposed excuse for retaliation obviously has forgotten about the thousands of tons of rice that went missing under her watch. Take a deep breath people.

Sad indictment on Thai society. I hope the two callous <deleted> are caught and gaoled, for a long time.
Having said that in my case there was the direct opposite circumstances. I too had a motorbike accident on a lonely dark village road, was attended to by a young Thai male who using my phone (I could not see at this stage) contacted my wife and explained where we were and waited for her to arrive. Then whilst she drove me to the hospital he rode my bike to my home, leaving the keys with the local shopkeeper.
There are still some wonderful Thai people out there, sadly we only hear of the (too) many bad ones.- 5
