There's a great "quip" on another thread somewhere ( so fitting ) that goes along the lines of :

" it's an amazing achievement for one to put ones' foot in their mouth whilst they have their head up their own arse at the same time ! "

This ought to replace the " land of smiles " banner !!

I do hope the media and social media will continue to track such stories - just like they did with the Koh Tao Case. We need to know what punishment these people eventually receive. Anything less than substantial jail sentences would just serve to make a double travesty. If the media spotlight continues to focus on such cases, then we might actually contribute to making a difference here. This country cannot hide away all of its' inadequacies any more because social media helps to bring these stories out. When the Courts start to issue punishments that bear some correlation to the crimes committed - on a consistent basis, then maybe we will some some improvements. However, no progress can ever be expected to be made whilst ever the Police / Courts accept apologies and remorse on the grounds of being intoxicated with some sort of substance and issuing 500 Bht Fines as some sort of closure. Accepting apologies with 10 year prison sentences would be a reasonable starting position for most of these particular perps, - with an attempted murder charge for the piece of trash that delivered the knock out kick to the old lady whilst she was already on the floor. This hard line approach should be led from the top for Thailand - and applicable to anyone and everyone who commits crime here - all treated equally, natives or foreigners !!

Sickening. May Karma take good care of you. 100% imbecile !

Young and old women that was meant to say ( techno eh!! )

Kicking young women and d women in the heD is never right - is it ?

It's not right to kick men in the head either - but women ??

Reggie n Ronnie would come looking for you if you did that to a woman in the old days - and they were quite capable of coming to look for you alone - if necessary !

That's it - lets prioritise in typical common sense order !

Let's cover up Ko Tao and those photo's too. More interested in saving face than addressing the real issues !

It would be interesting to see what level of education these "thugs" attained (meaning - all such thugs that engage in this type of thuggish behaviour). As well as photographing them and the usual finger pointing that takes place, it would be interesting for the police, courts and media to also report their level of education. There is probably a common denominator in many ( but not all ) cases of this type of behaviour.

The world is watching -Thailand !

There is far too much negative news about Thailand these days - which dwarfs the occasional good news story of a shop worker or other kind sole returning someone lost money or lost merchandise !

Here's an equation that needs urgent attention in Thailand : Punishment v Crime. = Deterrent.
