Seriously?

Interesting if a little disturbing to see a racist's POV. So still struggling to come to terms with UK beginning to recognise Thailand as an equal.

That's an oxymoron. With or without whatever the "fabricated" means in this circumstance

Bit of a conundrum fie all those racist British tourists and expats in Thailand. The UK visa free stay could be 90 days or 6 months.

such a pity that you don't understand how to analyse what you see..

Sounded OK until the end when you spoil it all with a baseless assumption. What the matter with people? Are they incapable of critical thinking?

Only someone with absolutely no knowledge of English would use that expression. It isnt even a thing!! What's an "American" name then? Perpetuated by the English?

There is unlikely to be a video covering the build up and aftermath. Anyhow the concept of evidence may be very loose when it involves the public image of a police officer.

Seems this I cudent highlights the use or misuse of video evidence and the police's use of firearms

no videos are "quite clear" - we don't see any run up to a very short video.....

QED!

you clearly don't understand the significance of "loss of face" in Thai culture.

You are so naive!

Looks like all the "sources" on Google are secondary or tertiary and using the same primary source.

What has that got to do with my hypothesis. Do you not understand what I'm trying to point out?

Not only do you not care but you don't know and still seem to want to tell everyone

Your information is out of date. Thailand ratified the Vienna Convention on road traffic in May 2020

I'm not saying this happened....but they are driving along and are pulled over accused of motoring offenses they haven't committed. Unaware of the usual protocol they decide to argue the toss. The police insist on an on the spot fine they refuse and drive off. Having lost face an officer follows them they react to this by confronting him again. A gun is drawn; as martial arts experts they decide to take the gun out of the equation. They have avoided a gun fight but are also unaware that to drive a motorcycle in Thailand, you need a full m/c licence and IDP. It's all there in the video?

You obviously have no idea of appropriate legal process or how to watch a video. You have no idea what happened before the video commenced. You are basically a 21st century answer to the lynch mob

The governor is making comments assuming they are guilty.... this is before they have been to court.

Apparently it wasn't smuggling, if you read the other posts - it was perfectly legal. "some people are beyond simple advice" - I think that says more about you than anything. THere was some good advice on this thread, which coupled with a bit of research helped - sadly yours was not amongst it.

QED - I never said I couldn't I just said I wouldn't for you....for the reasons you've just confirmed
