Heartbreaking for all his family and friends. RIP.

Foreigner videoed blocking the traffic! The horror of it!!! Deduct one point from his license now!!!!!

Out of interest, have you tried turning the TV on using the power button located on the actual TV? They can be tricky to find, sometimes you have to feel along the base of the TV to locate it. Try holding the button in for 20 to 30 seconds. You could also try resetting your TV. Unplug it for at least 60 seconds. Then press and hold the power button for at least 30 seconds whilst it is unplugged. Then plug it back in and try it again.

Does he think he's in the Thai remake of Reservoir Dogs!

By refusing bail and locking these guys up they have inadvertently set a precedence for similar misdemeanors committed by the RTP. It remains to be seen if these harsher punishments will become the exception or the norm regarding future corruption offences committed by police officers.

Oh what a shame.....

Well, the new system is clearly working......... Pats on the back all round for who ever came up with this new idea. With luck, road fatalities could be down as much as 0.5% this year.

Only transferred and not sacked! What so of message does that send out to the rest of the corrupt police out on the street.

Focusing on the bigger picture clearly isn't their number one priority. And of course they have probably done this many times before and never been caught.

Your local immigration.

Farang parking...5x the price and about five kilometers away!

The wife and I just argue in gibberish. It works for us.

So the taxi driver who ran the red light will now be facing the absolutely catastrophic punishment of having a couple of points deducted from his license?

No more than normal. Similar stories are common place here. Corruption such as this is nothing new.

It sounds to me like the wrong product was just placed above the price sticker. A genuine human error. Did you read the actual sticker? They normally have the information English and Thai as to the product it relates to. I doubt that in shops such as Tops the regular staff who stack the shelves can set the prices as everything is scanned and computerized.

Virtually no one looks me in the eye in my village. I've always presumed that it is because of my high social status....

300,000 km!!! Where do you live? On the moon with your rocket ship?

Cowards. What else is there to say?

Let's hope and pray that he has has adequate insurance cover and he has a chance of making a full recovery.

How could she not have known that she'd just run somebody over? Also, in a perfect world the painter should have had someone watching his back whilst he worked.

Wasn't this already reported? Or is it a case of groundhog day?

Well, that wasn't very bright!

There is no way I would ever put a child of mine in one of these school buses. They are packed in like sardines with a driver up front who almost certainly has no understanding of the meaning of the phrase "health and safety". I've witnessed for myself the corner cutting, illegal maneuvers these school bus drivers do just to save a few seconds. They are an accident waiting to happen particularly with the many reckless drivers that plague Thai roads everyday. The kids safety is not a priority within these old and poorly maintained and driven vehicles.

Good luck with that. What ever evidence there may have been to prosecute those involved will have have conveniently disappeared by now.

I met my wife on a blind date. And that's not a joke! I have a Thai friend in England who, unbeknown to me had been calling around friends an family, trying to fix me up on a date after she'd learned I was visiting her home town of Chiang Mai. The date in question ended up being one of the strangest days I have ever had but against the odds we clicked and are still together 17 years later.
