people sit in jail for long periods of time trying to come up with bail to bribe their way out. it is not recorded as the cops want to be paid cash and release the crim/victim without record. i got locked up for having the wrong address in my work permit. i paid a bond and it was recorded by being written in a book. no computer record. police stations work as independent mafias. it is not like the west where they share data bases.

wrong address??? yeah ok dude.....is that what they call it???? 555

murkier and murkier, could this involve more that the teller and be a regular thing, very much doubt they would give them 40.000 baht if they were innocent

Happens all the time....I know people that excepted the bribe 3 times...(different occurrences same branch.)

I wish him good luck and a speedy return to heatlh

Well I don't know what Thai immi is towards a criminal record,  I do know in Thailand pay between 15000-27000  to a bonfire agent and they takecare of everything within 24 hours.  They do their job. The actual cost of the retirement visa is only .4000. They takecare of paperwork and funds if you don't meet requorements. 

But as mentioned... It is done here in Thailand

All drug traffickers if found guilty by the court of law must be executed to safeguard the people.

getting caught with equivalent  weight of 5 joints (cigarette size in length and weight) at an airport coming or going in my country is also considered trafficking, although, any person with common sense would agree this amount is personal use. 

Charge is still trafficking just a, weight difference.

Should we execute that person?

Cocaine cream form?


Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect

yes cream form.... as the poster below this original post pointed out ...in many forms are being transported... in soaked in cloths (Textile) undetectable and just needs the right formula to extract. The Chemistry as a science, is and will continue to discover new and develop old methods. Remember, the average persons knowledge of what blow should look like or how its transported, is from media.

"... Police say he was the intended recipient of the drugs...He was found in possession of 278,320 baht, 31,700 roubles and $100 US..."

 

Surely, this must have only been a down payment (approx. $8,600 US) if 2.3 kilos of cocaine is involved ???

 

See http://www.narcoticnews.com/drug-prices/cocaine/asia/

not from where they originated from... $3000-5000 is the cost

A hen with a cock is not an unusual story in Thailand.

thats right, happens on a daily basis.... Foreigners marry Thai ladies..... just, in these cases the hen wins and the cock goes home crying or commits suicide or both...lol

Nice to hear the Krauts got no other problems to solve...

 

BTW: Adolfo used to dine using cutlery. Is this banned in Kraut-land either?

Comments like these referring to Germans as Krauts only justify why a foreigners with little to nothing to say give other visitors to foreign countries a bad name.. I suppose with the "little dick syndrome" you vision somehow, your inadequacy and worthiness will balance everything out behind a key board in cyber space.

the banned first verse refers to the unification of the 35 separate states of germany not to hitlers plans for world domination.

the second verse, also banned, refers to wine women and song.

only the third verse can be sung today without causing offense.

the swastica is a good luck symbol adopted by the nazi party.

hitler liked to eat mashed potatoes and carrots.

what a pity the nazi party did not adopt the christian crucifix

so that then we might then ban it.

after all they were all catholics were they not.

 

 

or was it orthodox??? What the hell.... they all still come under the christian umbrella....ban their symbols. Pity they didnt play the atheist or Jewish, Muslim and any other religions version. It could have been a ban on all symbols of faith and non faith.... damn doesn't that annoy you!!!

All need a lesson in communication, decorum and professionalism 

All meaning?

If the RTP is in the meaning (All).... I don't think a lesson or 2 on each of the topics you mentioned will work for many of them. Considering, the extortion claims, alleged murder charges, rape claims , racketeering claims and everything else that comes in between and under these charges. It may be a wee tad late for lessons on decorum and professionalism. Communicating, their doing just fine, getting out the message they want..

same same......

these are photos taken from an earlier arrest. nothing to do directly with this report. but beefs the story up. could have also shown a parking lot full of European cars, from a car dealer (without showing business name)... same desired effects

They seem to be getting a lot of reaction....lol especially here on TV. Why I remain so sceptical is that by getting the guy killed he lost the 8 million THB. Someone who can afford to pay for such a murder and then write off the 8 million must have plenty more in the bank. Does Toby have this kind of money? The other people he annoyed certainly does have that kind of money and would easily pay that to send a clear message.

I hear what you are saying, and I agree...and I'm saying this because i know personally very very well one person wrote off a lot more than 8mil Baht ($298,000 cdn today's rates) and that was that.......principle!!

And yes, there are a lot of people that 8 Mil baht, isn't much....when you look at it in dollars...in Baht...your a multi...lol

The RTP has very much earned their reputation, hence people rightfully criticizing them. They also generally give out information even before they have it... rather than to hold back on anything. Since the suspect is in custody and presumably been told why he has been arrested, why not share the info? My guess, they are making it up as they go.

I agree, put buddys name in the paper and at what level of invovlement they beleive he is invovled in, some info could be made up... maybe to see the reaction of certain folk, ...just guess

Not sure how killing the guy will get the 8 mill back, either.

 

kneecapping maybe.... then he can go down to the bank in a wheelchair., but killing him?

i know personally, that depending on who and who did what...goes down to good old ....principle!!!
And before you say.... wrong principles or you wouldn't believe in such an barbaric act... I did say depends on who it was done to

Many members here on this topic are criticizing the RTP of not  know what they are doing or the information that has/is being filtered out to the local tabloids and national media doesn't make to much sense. Information is, as I said filtered out for whatever motive they feel may help their ongoing investigation. I'm quite sure they know a lot more to the story than what we are giving them credit for.
When this incident happened, i recall many members posting about the lack of any kind of investigation ever getting off the ground.  And now these members are trying to piece this murder mystery together from info gathered from different media sources. Who I guess got their info from the police that they were criticizing in the first place.  ....lol how ironic

Great posts both. Nothing in this case (as reported or what  RTP say) makes sense. 
1) 8 mil THB is chicken scratch in the game. Motive: who has the most to gain? 
2) Amateurish hit.  
3) Alleged shooter and getaway man getaway. Delays in requesting Cambodian help. No follow-up. Cold trail. Why? 
4) No reported temporary seizure of Mr./Mrs. Kenway's assets in Thailand pending results of investigation. Once again motive: who has the most to gain? 
5) Surprise! Alleged "mastermind" and former business partner apprehended. If I had ordered a "hit" over only 8 mil THB using Dumb and Dumber, I  wouldn't be hanging around. Someone dropped his name IMO. 
It is just too easy! The RTP always get their man. Too bad it is usually never the right one. 
Why no enquiries into the Black Widow? She seems fine and seems to be following the script. If I or Mrs. Shock were assassinated for shady dealings, neither of us would be showing up at the local cop shop pleading for faux justice. One of us would be running for cover and getting our kids out of the country. Smelly. 

 

they know a lot more than what we think they know or going to tell local tabloids, I believe the standard expression is "ongoing investigation" ...

" Mr Nelham is accused of being the mastermind behind the assassination of British man Tony Kenway in Pattaya on January 24."

 

So how was this established to the point of being able to arrest him?

 

 

obliviously, they're not giving out everything that they know.... "give a dog a bone" 

This is a very sad story of innocence and joy being taken away from a family at such an early stage in life.
 He will be watching over her on their journey as he did in life. That is a guarantee!!
 

Also, as sadly as the incident is, mandatory swimming lessons at whatever age, whilst at school has not even been thought of, or will it be in our life time, let alone acted upon.

cant see what the problem is here.......sooner or later this kids would eventually turn to drugs anyway and someone was going to profit from this. So what not sooner, and capitalize from a degenerate society.
