Hey maybe when they are found our they will be made wear the Pink armband as it is a minor disciplinary matter

If it is a foreigner. they are name and paraded.....

They should concentrate on weddings. There is no faster way to extract wealth from a farang than having him marry a Thai.

yeah just ask that french guy who just got done...of sorry he never had sex with her

actually it is quite a common occurrence in Thailand, but the ironic thing is the defendant has to pay everyone's fees still, even the judge.

some of the comments here are completely idiotic, what does any minister know about anything, thats why the have expert advisors, a minister is a representative of the people by the the people to oversee that government is run according to the people wishes and in the best way pooisble without corruption..............oh, what planet am i on, must have got off at the wrong stop

I don't know about Thai fishermen but on the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the fishermen are the most ignorant, stupid, selfish, and greedy people I have ever met, as I lived on a sailboat among them for ten years. They invest nothing to replenish the stocks they take for free (those waters belong to all of us), they fight tooth and nail against any restrictions on the minimum size of the fish they can catch, the fought ten years against TEDs (turtle excluder devices), they fought against bottom trawling. They are their own and everyone else's worst enemy. They seem determined to stop only when there are no more fish or shrimp in the sea.

Maybe if governments would treat fishing like farming i.e. the fisherman has an area that is exclusively his and he must tend it and not overexploit it if he cares about his future. Fishermen would pay to the public treasury for their leases in a once in five year or ten year bid. They will not be allowed to fish on some other fisherman's area just as one farmer cannot harvest another farmer's produce. In this age of cheap, accurate GPS (or the new Chinese version Thailand wants), there would be no excuse for encroaching on another's fishing grounds.

Enforcement could come from GPS tracking and any fishermen bringing unlawful catch to be sold would have their boats confiscated the be banned from fishing for five years (like they treat cheating politicians now). Draconian enforcement is the only way to get these stubborn fishermen to allow the ecology, that belongs to all of us, to recover.

We must all look towards Icaland when it comes to marine conservation, they instigated no fishery zone which helped them maintain their habitats to this day. Unlike in the americas where the grand banks failed and in europe where the tuna populations collapsed completely.

Do they really cost that much per aircraft?

Well, brand new ... "Current Price $ 7.76 million U.S. Estimated"

So, 2nd hand, low engine hours, well maintained ... maybe $ 5 million (let's be generous).

So, 6 X 5 = $ 30 Million.

Maybe they are buying a lot of spares ...

.

import tax.....lol

wow, if only everyone was so diligent at getting the job done....well done

OOOOOOOOOOO. I do like top be beside the seaside, oooooo i do like to be beside the sea

i read they are going to set up a fast track service for tourists and other visitors to the country who are susupected of crimal activivity and must go to court, maybe the should set up a highso fast track service too.........

Colonel Mongkol, a former investigation chief in charge of the Sherry Ann case, was found guilty of dereliction of duty. The Royal Thai Police ordered that he be fired from the service, effective retroactively from October 1993.

However, Mongkol resigned before the order was issued. He escaped criminal proceedings and later disappeared from Thailand. Documents now show he settled down in the United States more than six years ago.

Another cowardly, spineless Thai official running away from justice!

Why no extradition requests from Thailand to the US?

there is an extradition treaty, they have just deported a number of americans with the extradition treaty, but in order to extradite the gov't has to request it

How come a lowly Sergeant (doesn't say Police or Army) afford to own a fancy sports car, even if it is said to be second hand. OK he may have private means, but it does seem a bit 'iffy'.

There are many many more like him in the police force. The Sarge i know has a BM and wears a pair of 50k designer glasses not bad for 17 k per month

funnily enough, i used to live in an aprtment in nonthaburi overlooking a police sargents house and once a week they would meet up in his back garden to distribute piles of cash, and i mean piles! they would all come in one by one and be given a share and sit around and drink whiskey, he had a new bmw

well, why don't you take the billions in revenue you get from 24, 000,000 million tourists coming to Thailand and invest it in infrastructure on a local, provincial and national level instead of putting it in your pockets

Phuket....you have got to be kidding me, they will set up a taxi barricade. Of all places in Thailand , Phuket should be the last place this should be held.

familiar face ?

seriously, a bit shakky when the action happens.....

chicken soup

What a tragic shame his students will be deprived of having a teacher so dedicated to educating them that he robbed a bank in order to stay because he wasn't being paid a decent wage. That sort of self-sacrificing devotion to teaching is rare.

What planet are you living on.....how do you know he was dedicated and not a yabba freak.......

Lesson number 1, don't brag that you are on overstay

Lesson 2, have some handy cash in reserve to buy the buggers off when your so called drinking pals rat u up to save their own arse's.

then againj, he could get bail and await the court proceedings in 5 years or so and he still does not have to to do visa runs....lol

i would presume that those in the hotel are the employees of the hotel, definitely not a swede

well, i don't know what all the fuss is about. it is their country and there is a criminal element in every country, even if it is called mafia, mob, syndicate, cartel or what not. this vid has nothing to do with the russian, they are not stupid enough to do anything in public, as to pattaya being run by the russian mob, far from it....yes they run some bars, so what. id we are going to go on about anything organised, how about the rooms? controlled by whom? if u don't know the answer, then you don't know what ur talking about.
