  1. The reports on "taxi bad behaviour " seems to have gone full circle as the apparent campaign against farangs seems to be gaining pace.

     

    The reports used to be centred on taxi drivers trying to overcharge, dropping people off in the middle of "nowhere" due to a disputed increase in fare, refusing to put the meter on etc etc etc.

     

    It is fairly common knowledge that Anutin has got it in for "dirty unwashed foreigners", and now there seems to be a concerted effort to find any misdemeanour by foreigners, and publish it in the media. (I can not recall any recent reports of "bad behaviour" by Thais, but I am sure that it happens.)

     

    All a bit bizarre when the Government and TAT are desperate to attract more tourists to LOS!

    ]There was a warrant out for his arrest by the court for failing to comply with previous orders and that is why he attended the police station for bail so no they don't ' leave the country '  because their egos don't allow it and they think they can bluff their way out, and on many occasions, they can.

     

    At the moment they are still gathering statements and information and deciding on further action because not only are there criminal charges involved, the situation is further complicated by the fact that he is a senior police officer, so that comes into play as well.

     

    It is not like a member of the public that just jumps bail and disappears.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    You mean like the member of the public Red Bull heir, "Boss"? Sorry, no, he was never arrested in the first place, so he couldn't skip bail! Just "got out while the going was good"!

    I suggest you re-read the posts above and find out where he has been recently and what he did yesterday!

     Thank you for your advice, and things are a bit clearer now! Pity the headlines and the subject matter of the post sometimes leave you a bit in "limbo" i.e. the headline to this post says quite clearly:-  investigators sought an arrest warrant for Surachate “Big Joke” Hakparn, Deputy National Police Chief of Thailand, following three previously issued summonses. 

    The post by "Archadian" is very helpful, and fortunately seems more aware of the current situation than some of the media! 

    Interesting times ahead!

    The last the rest of us heard was that he had handed himself in.
    Deputy national police chief, Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn, reported to the enquiry officer at Taopoon police station on Tuesday afternoon, to acknowledge the money laundering charges filed against him. He was granted bail after about four hours of questioning.

     

    Thanks for the info Barry!

    The headline:- "Arrest warrant issued for Surachate “Big Joke” Hakparn"

     

    Last paragraph:- The outcome of this legal request remains to be seen, as the court has not yet announced its decision. (regarding the "request for an arrest warrant")

     

    Sooo, - has the arrest warrant been issued or not? I suspect not!

     

    Anyway, last I heard was that "Big Joke" was "on a short holiday" in England! Hmmm!!! Somehow I think that he may be there for a while!

     

     

    "Sad" and "Confused" - I'm a bit confused myself - has an arrest warrant been issued or not?

    Also a bit "Sad" that he was allowed to go abroad on holiday when I am sure that he knew the turmoil that was surrounding his situation!

    Anyway, let's see if he does a "Thaksin" and rides out the storm while out of the   country!

    and where did 'EVERYBODY' get their info from... The Samui times?
    do you know the running man footage cctv footage came from a family member of the person you guys accuse? hardly think they'd incriminate their nephew aye, but thats been totally left out of all the sensationalised Samui times stories.

     

    Hang on! "You guys?" I am not accusing anybody of anything - I merely pointed out a comment by the cop in charge at the time, which to me implied that the investigation was not exactly off to an impartial start.

     

    And I stand by my original comment which was to say that  "EVERYBODY knows who did it" is a ridiculous statement to make!

    I'm not ken on Russians either, but:-

     

    >> #Phuket police arrested a driver who drove down to Kamala beach Mon. He's not a foreigner as many suspect but a 39-yr-old Thai who wanted his 2 kids to see the beach closely & recorded a video for him. Police charged him with careless driving, which may pose danger to others.

     

    Somebody gave my post above a "Confused" emoticon, but now I am confused!

     

    I was replying to a post that was implying that the culprit was a Russian, and he should be deported and shipped off to the Ukraine:- 

    "No doubts , it must be a Russian putinoid:).
    Deport these scumbags to Russia. -

    their pseudo  tzar Putin is so eager to mobilize them for criminal war in Ukraine!"

     

    My post was merely to point out that the culprit was not a Russian, or other type of foreigner, but Thai!

    Funny how the title of subject automatically assumes its a foreigner when the KhaoSod reports:

    So will AN be issuing an apology for defaming foreigners? Thought not!

    from the Thaiger==== A Thai man who witnessed the incident added that the Chinese tourist did not show any remorse

     

    Russians-Chinese much of the same same, lack of education and respect for others

    Plus, the "Thaiger" quote is about a totally different incident!

    Could it be an  April fools day announcement? and if not, it means that ' we need more

    tourists/passengers' equals more revenue/income...

     

     

    "Could it be an  April fools day announcement?" On April 2nd?

     

    And "we need more tourists/passengers' equals more revenue/income..." so we start charging them more? That'll bring them flocking in!

    "....especially the Brits."

     

    "Here we go, here we go, here we go!" Football's coming home! 🙂 

     

    "Here we go, here we go, here we go!" was a warning that there is a "Brit Basher"/troll about.

    "Football's coming home!" Is a natural continuation of the above chant, or an impossible dream - take your pick (sorry, off topic, I'll get my coat!)

    There are a lot of Thai agriculture workers over there. I'm wondering if this soldier may have had some Thai friends, may have worked with some Thais before having to join the war. Perhaps he just meant to show solidarity with Thais, who have hostages being held by the maniacal terrorists/Hamas. Maybe one of his Thai friends sent it to him. But, no matter what official story they come up with, I don't think anyone will believe it. In the end, it's pretty stupid to make a fuss of it. It's just an ordinary soldier, not like he's some sort of high ranking officer making an official statement. But people love making a major commotion out of anything these days.

     

    But people Thais love making a major commotion out of anything these days. Even made a "drama out of a crisis" when an Eastern lady had to pee in the street because of a lack of toilet facilities in a certain Thai holiday resort!

  15. They didn't use a laser gun to stun him did they? I would never have known!:-

     

    "CCTV footage from the mayhem and chaos on Tuesday at a city centre hotel in Phuket. (Inset) Mr Tolstov attacked people, including security guards at the hotel. Finally, police used a taser gun to stun and collapse the marauding Russian."


    "Rabid Russian rampage in Phuket. Tourist tasered by police after hotel havoc. A drunken Russian tourist, Mr Aleksandr Tolstov, triggered chaos in Phuket, assaulting multiple people at a hotel. Three officers intervened but had to resort to a taser to subdue him. Now facing criminal charges."{


    "A Russian tourist is facing criminal charges and is being held by Karon Police after a furious outburst of violence in the centre of Phuket on Tuesday. The crazed Russian man, wearing nothing but summer trunks tore into security staff and later police at a local hotel. Finally, police were forced to use a Taser gun to incapacitate the rabid young man and prevent further conflict."

     

    "There has been another incident of outrageous behaviour by a foreigner in Phuket. On Tuesday, police were forced to use a Taser gun to overpower a young Russian man who attacked multiple people at a hotel."

     

    All within the same article/post!!!

     

    But yet another Russian "behaving badly" - well the Thai Government wanted them - now they got them - warts and all! 🙂
