For some reason I believe the Indian story.

After seeing extreme violence we saw lately from the Thai I tend to believe the tourists also, but the police will believe what is more convenient as always

Most disgusting statement here is that there isn't enough evidence yet to forward to prosecutors.

Witnesses, video evidence, murder weapons seized, a mutilated corpse, threats to next of kin.. Jesus how much more evidence could possibly needed i wonder.

Seems almost no crime is off limits to cover up, or at least attempt to

Yes but let's not forget that 4 of those savage animals are cop kids and knowing the thai justice it would not be surprising to see the charges droped

Police need to understand that being drunk is not an excuse for criminal violence to another person.

Police need to enforce the law, not circumvent the law with their extra-judiciary judgments with how to charge a person for a crime.

To understand the police have to be smart and fair which is surely

not the case in Thailand

If they get away with annother stupid small fine, it will show again what "full justice under Thai law" is: a joke, and it should be publicized in western newspapers to prevent eventual tourists of the danger in commoing to this country.

No wander why Thailand has the reputation of one of the most corrupted country in the world and it is not about to change when we see this

The most dangerous place to drive or even just walk is Phuket where the natives drivers are not only uncivilised but also stupid and nothing is done by the autorities to reduce excessive speed. And with a situation like this, they expect to attrack higher class tourists. Good luck...

Driving anywhere on anything in ''Thailand'' is a nightmare...

Well, up here in the rural areas of Phichit & P'Lok provinces, I must disagree. Driving here is a pleasure, no traffic jams, no road racers and generally courteous drivers. So no nightmares for me. I am sure some others in less populated areas will agree.

Sorry you can't paint all of Thailand with one large brush. Judging by the sheer scale of the destruction of those vehicles, I believe there was certainly excessive speeds involved.

It is certainly different in the more civilized parts like Bangkok & environs,, Pattaya, Hua Hin etc.

I don't understand why the government doesn't make these lazy ass police get out of their "police boxes" and patrol the roads for these idiot drivers.

I fully agree with you, but nobody gives a sweet shit in Thailand.

This is a joke. 99B plus a small fine. They will leave the helmut home and continue driving at crasy speed. Instead of checking the helmet the police should check the speed which may cause casualties to others in case of accidents. Crossing Patak road or even just walking on it puts your life at risk. Educate the Phuket locals instead of just giving them a small fine

Blame the game, blame the game I suppose the game will be punished...How so very STUPID

Every day another foreigner is reported as dying in the south.

None of them seemed that old to me.

Nearly all western men.

What on earth is happening?

Nothing good is happening in Phuket and it's getting worst and worst every year. As soon as Myanmar opens up to tourism we'll see what happens to this place where locals don't give a DELETED about their tourists

Under customary international law, passports are the property of the state which issued them In the case of a British passport, for example, the document belongs to the British government and not to the passport holder. The international case-law is clear - the impounding of a foreigner's passport is impermissible interference with the jurisdiction of the issuing State

Since when does the Tha police care about international law. Do they even know about them?

Should be popular in prison.

I agree with you
