"It just happens to all be mostly white collar type crimes instead of assaults, robbery, murder, etc. Prostitution, gambling, bribery, corruption, sexual assaults, human trafficking, all are common,...." Is there that much difference?

Deputy Prime Minister Anutin - could be worse I suppose, but let's be thankful for small mercies - he could be Prime Minister!!!

I was surprised he spent any time at all in jail! And I also expect that he will be released as soon as he is declared fit enough by the doctors - he had his sentence reduced within a couple of days of his arrival back in Thailand!

At last, someone with some foresight, something usually lacking in Thai Government! Usually, the answer is an ill thought out knee jerk reaction to a problem without any thought to the consequences. For instance, a few years ago, a rail employee who was high on drugs, raped and murdered a young girl and threw her off the train. The answer - stop the sale and drinking of alcohol by everybody travelling on trains!!! Goodness knows how much revenue this has lost the Thai Railways System - I used to use the service regularly from Surat Thani to Bangkok, but after that ridiculous decision have stopped using Thai trains, and I know a few of my friends who are of the same mind!!! The closing down of Facebook in Thailand would have been a disaster for the economy, and the outgoing Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaiwat Thanakamanusorn is travelling in the right direction - OUT!

Thailand - more hubs than a fleet of Meter Taxis!

Doppelganger required?

Is that his Certificate for "Prat of the Day" award that he's holding?

For a fellow bass playing member (ex)! :- 2 Thais do not constitute a group - that's a "duo" of Thais! ????

To whoever put a "Confused" emoticon to this post, you have got me confused!

???? That says it all! P.S. Just as a matter of interest, there should also be a comma in between "No" and "there"! The whole style of your posts shows the standard of your education - in English, especially, but your trolling ability is pretty good. So good in fact, that if you continue in the same vein, you will probably get this thread closed down, so do yourself and everybody else a favour, and try to put something of interest in your posts, rather than constant criticism of everybody who crosses your path.

No, the topic is about a drunk Brit (singular) who got beaten up severely by some Thais - can you not read either, as well as not use proper grammar?

Your comments are indeed works of art that should be recorded and kept for posterity! For someone who "rarely criticises Brits" you are making up for it on this thread alone - every post is patently "Brit Bashing" and not one criticising the over the top reaction by the Thais. "Kwak250" hit it on the nail - you are just trolling!

And "2 Thai men" are also "a group of Thai men" ????

"He is now under close medical supervision as he has suffered cerebral haemorrhage." How much harder would you like? Maybe a few gunshot wounds as well?

Thought you rarely "Brit bash"?

How do you know he was "English"? And the fact that he was drunk at 5.30 am is not the point - the point is he was behaving like an idiot, and spoiling for a fight (he was even wanting to fight with the "responders" (Buzz word - couldn't resist!) so he got one!

Any worse, and the Thais would be charged with murder!

Doesn't say what time they actually BOUGHT the alcohol! In the UK, they ring a bell for last orders (Not to get the drink in for everybody at the bar!) and a few people "stock up" their drinks. Maybe the Thais did the same? Not excusing their behaviour mind - or the Brit's for that matter!

"................two different stories?" Two thais or a group of Thais - know what you mean!

Have you been counting?

Your previous 3 posts at least on this thread alone are clearly anti Brit. What do you mean by "rarely"?

Correction - it is about a Brit - singular! Let's have a bit of perspective here - a bit of a prat, but a Brit on his own being beaten up by a group of Thais. Thai Pack mentality again.

Headline:- "Intoxicated British Man Beaten by Two Thai Men in Pattaya" First line of article:- "Pattaya — A drunken British man was beaten by a group of Thai men in Pattaya" I tend to go more with the latter as he "was making a nuisance of himself while heavily drunk and disrupted a group of young Thai men"

I would hazard a guess that even the doctors in Thailand will be told what to say in a high profile case like this! After all, Mr T has had his sentence reduced from 10 years to 8 years to 1 year all in a matter of days, despite all the rules and regulations saying that he must serve a minimum of x years before he can even be considered for any kind of pardon or reduction of sentence! The system stinks!

And Anutin is making sure of that!
