Meanwhile Prayuth prosecutes Farangs for not wearing a shirt or taking selfies with a beer bootle !

Welcome to Thailand!

Trapped souls or not, can someone actually focus on the fact that we have numerous murders and that is a serious criminal case to investigated?????

As the Prime Minister gives great importance to Thailands image it will be interesting to seevthe outcome of this. He needs to oversee this.

The TAT posing with a bunch of flowers in a photograph is really not enough.

They don't care anymore.

I am sure he won't even mention it.

China is buying Thailand the rest does not matter.

Songkran, friends, is a free ticket for a small percentage of xenophobic hateful thugs to attack foreigners at will to let out all their pent up hostilities.

Because of small aggressions I experienced some 20 years ago, I learned to not go out during this "holiday".

i agree 100%

I was also taken as target once during songkran a few years back.

Nothing serious, but I fell it was a day of letting some of the steam out and for some, xenophobia was part of it.

The scary part was that it was accepted, like it was OK to harass the farang just because it was Songkran.

I now stay home or leave the country.

Have you seen how the guy, who was sitting there having a drink, kust move out of the way ???

so many by-standers and no one does anything!

unbelievable!

Gangs seem to be thriving under this regime. I've seen more motocy gang activity in the last few months than the previous nine years combined. It'll flare if not suppressed with a heavy hand.

I think this is exactly where they are trying to get at.

3 step same process all over again,

- create or let a situation become a problem

- do nothing to prevent it and let it become so bad that big repression become the only solution

- Take as many civil rights as possible as people are traumatized and can accept anything

what another one??

The ladyboys

the pattaya guy

the hua hin British family

now the laotian girl???

Has this all country gone violent mad,??

Who is paying the hospital bill?

Not the victims I hope.

I hope they dont have to pay a cent of that hospital bill, but being Thailand you could even forecast a rip off!

Pretty disgusting and disrespectful behavior. The guy pushed the son, and he obviously hit his head on the concrete when he fell. That can easily result in death. Easily. Of course the mother was upset. Slapping the thai guy was a moderate (though stupid) reaction to him hurting her son. She just did not know what she was dealing with. There should be a warning by all embassies. Hassle or harass, or insult a Thai man at your own peril. Most simply do not have enough self esteem to walk away. And as we all know, they fight in groups, almost never alone. You simply cannot win a fight like that. Hopefully they will be severely punished. And fortunately, this kind of thing does not happen often, at least not randomly, like it happened here.

What about the guy who just got also beaten up in Pattaya and the Lady boy who attacked a

Please someone send this to a Chinese Newspaper!

Now on the front page of Australia's national newspaper. Free publicity for Thailand's tourism industry.

Good!

People need to know whats really going on in this country and how foreigners are just becoming sitting ducks with criminals never punished.

May be if tourism is down they will do something at last.

Hunted for 'the harm they did to tourism'

That is very inappropriate thing to write, when people are just in shock before such raw brutality.

What's really shocking is ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WATCH THE ALL SCENE AND DO NOTHING !!!!

As said, probably a set up.

The dealer and people who set them up, must be laughing and counting their money.

Sad really, they are facing heavy sentences and possibly death penalty - Selling ? for trying to get high and get their money back by selling a little.

Tragic.

Do we know which man?

Are we supposed to help identify a body??

And all we have is a photo of a white sheet !

Very inappropriate title

Good buzz effect and PR operation as always with very little effect.

It's not just the FEW that they caught that needs to be aware of road dangers, it is the huge majority that need to be educated about driving and safety.

That starts with going to schools and educate kids, along with a real driving test

Double pricing is not about National Parks or Ferris wheels, its Thais people overcharging you everyday because you are a foreigners, under the fallacious excuse that you are richer than them.

It would make some sense or at least explains it, if Thailand WAS actually a poor country.

But this is not the case anymore, Thailand is 100th out of 230 in the GPD rank.

It mean average and there are actually more countries poorer than THL, than there are richer.

So no it's not justified

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2004rank.html

"The Immigration Police Command 4 (Nakhon Ratchasima) that initially probed the case has urged their Udon Thani-based counterparts to check any foreigners who may be involved."

So how will that work then?

They have no idea who was involved because false names were used.

Will they just hassle every foreigner on the grounds they are foreign and therefore may be involved?

That should be fun.

The ''MOST foreigners are using fake names'' is a big give away.

It is highly unlikely that the majority of foreigners here are on fake documents.

I think thats what theyre trying to do.

Make up a fraud problem and obviously come up with 'the solution' ie more Farangs harassment

If they would accept to pay double price every time they step out of Thailand, that would be fair.

But obviously they won't.

Like everything here it's one sided.

Sad end, au revoir.

I don't think you'll be seeing him again anytime soon.

Very inappropriate.

Thai people are violent. Not just men. You can accept it and take care, Leave, Or not come in the first place. From early childhood they are so repressed they develop little notion of self-control. Just a different way to be.

Wrong

Thai people are BECOMING violent.

Childhood is now an incoherent mix of scolding and all is permitted situations, which makes them lost confused and short fused.

Children are bags left in cars while we go at funerals, buried alive when unwanted, or spoiled little brats dressed up as poodles or dolls and which issues are never addressed as persons but as fashion accessories.

Before values, sense of self and the others, the community, sharing, giving were part of education.

Now it's total oblivion and chaos, they can go and ride motorcycles without helmet, who cares / mai pen rai/ if they have an accident they will learn.

And of course this country is still the safest and these are peaceful and compassionate Buddhists expressing their Thainess

You don't announce a 'confusion' without explaining what was wrongly understood and what should be understood.

Otherwise you ADD MORE TO THE CONFUSION

So Buddhist so calm, so full of compassion and understanding.

Thailand at its best.
