    Its all a bit silly really.  I mean who is going to do anything?  We already have two major well known criminals with evidence against them, even convictions but they will not pay any price for their criminality except via paper bags under the desk.  Everybody, and I mean everybody, knows it but they walk free.  How is the police force going to be treated any different?  A few heads may roll, a few names changed to protect the guilty and the revenue stream but nothing will change.  It will all be lost among stories of viscious farang overstayers,  nasty graffiti artists, and life threatening peanut sellers without work permits.  They are the real threat to Thailand.

    an Independent Inquiry and Legal team. IMHO

    Okay so i didn't start a wildfire but do you know if any farang has been prosecuted and had their visa cancelled been blacklisted for example

     

    Dropped a cigarette on grass which caused a big fire

    Or set of a firework and it landing somewhere and cause a fire

    Released a chinese latern and got arrested

     

    I am thinking of making a homemade sugar rocket to set off outside......to show my science class...........Actually this will be in a 1km2 x 1km x 1km 1 xkm massive ploughed field with just soil (no chance of wildfire if it lands nearby)............If it flies high and long.......there is a small chance it won't use up all its fuel and small risk of starting a fire far away

    can you wait til July and take it to one of he many Roclet Festivals..much safer for everyone involved, failing that get a permit from local Amphur Office. Remember nothing within 9km of an Airport.

    OK.. so 100% agree that the Singaporean is in the wrong for riding without a licence and without a helmet and should pay the approriate fines. 

    He should also be fined for attacking a police officer.

     

    BUT... why did he react this way ?

     

    Did he see numerous Thai's riding without a helmet and get annoyed because he was 'singled out'  ??

    Did he see the duplicity with which the Police in Phuket target and fine foreigners compared to Thai's ??

     

    Its long been established that in area's such as Phuket the Police know foreigners are stupid enough to make themselves easy pickings (low hanging fruit) for the BiB and foreigners can always pay their on the spot fines ?

     

    Sure... Don't do anything illegal then, and I'd quite agree...

     

    BUT... surely if the BiB are doing their job effectively, all the Thai's have bene fined so many times for not wearing a helmet that they'd all be wearing a helmet by now... right ??

     

     

    I can see the Singaporean getting insulted at the unequal treatment he perceives as being unfair - he's still in the wrong though. 

     

    If think if I lived in Phuket I'd get annoyed at the amount of Police checkpoints wasting my time with so many checks because they're looking to profit from foreigners. 

    perhaps it was because the amount of the fine infuriated him...the article states 'the amount of he fine was not revealed'.

    Talk about sensationalizing. This is a bale as stated was found with the boy. I seriously doubt he managed to get 2 of those stuffed into 2 ziplock bags. If anyone is found with any amount of weed it is automatically the weed that is to blame. They really need to de-legalize weed so they can stop blaming it for everything.

    poetic journalism at work..you know what was meant however!

    the silent..no pain growing polyps can get to a T4 stage where they grow through your intestinal wall into your abdominal cavity, blocking your bowel movement. I realize you are in denial, however modern medicine encourages us all to make use of the testing and procedures available. I would urge everyone to get checked.

    hey "confused" what don't you understand about this?
