The man from udon

Don't know about them figures as usual.what does each couple spend 5-12 million baht per wedding or all the weddings that are mr and mrs farang come to this amount per year.if so 5-12 million baht ain't even a ice cube of a iceberg of tourism revenue,so what's all the fuss about.seriously I like to wake up and read something amusing not confusing in the morning.

A bit of a fondle?

 

He sexually asssulted an unconscious road accident victim.

 

One who apparently, on regaining consciousness, found him sucking her breasts. 

 

If true, the man is a scumbag predator. 

 

Lost his job?

 

No, he abused his position and was dismissed to prevent him sexually assaulting other victims. 

I wouldn't quite label him a predator,he messed up big time and now has to pay the price..I was saying it's a bit harsh how he's been treated to other people.in this country you can kill 9 people in a car and get community work,be a policeman and shoot someone and get sent to a inactive post,accept massive bribes and get no punishment.it beats me why someone commits a sexual offence in Thailand when you can pay less than 500 baht for it in some places.im not sticking up for the man and his actions but he's obviously upset someone high up.hes probably got a family or dependents to look after and it seems to be unjust how he's been treated.i think a couple of weeks in the slammer,probation and some compensation to the victim would be appropriate in this case and not hung ,drawn and quartered.he was a hard working young man who stupid mistake has ruined his future.

They've gone tough on him compared to some offenders,lost his job,banged up with no bail and looking at up to a 10 stretch for a bit of a fondle.mind you her papa is probably a general.

Jesus I didn't know mixing guava juice and vita milk had that effect.ill give it a go sometime.

I think the headlines have dramatised the whole story.foreigner,Ducati super bike...should be man walks out into the road and the path of motorcycle without looking and dies...if you walk out into the road in Thailand with your eyes closed be prepared to meet your maker.

The man from udon,  I didn't have a speed gun in my hands, but I can tell you from personal experience that when a man is hit by a bike or vehicle at 50kph, he wouldn't be catapulted across the road (Mr.Volkov catapulted through the air before being hit by a baht bus, also travelling at high speed. The Ducati slammed into another parked vehicle and the driver was left lying in the middle of the road.)

 

I didn't say you having a speed gun,I will stick to my cart thanks.as for not knowing what I'm talking about I've owned bikes all of 35 years and ridden around countries you can only dream about.it doesn't take much to send a person flying,take a look at motocrossing,some of the riders are not doing great speed and get thrown into the air.

In the UK we had the Tufty Club and  the Green X man - both about crossing roads - look and listen - look left then right then left again - if safe cross but keep looking 

Pity the Russian never watched the green cross code as we learnt as children.he might of been enjoying a cool beer outside the 7/11 now.

That's a heartless statement! Why not blame the Ducati rider (regardless of nationality) for speeding. He should be reminded that the speed limit in built up areas is 60kph (and in some even 50kph), and if he obeyed the law he could have avoided the accident altogether.

So who had the speed gun,a big loud bike may not be a speeding bike.a scooter could of done the same job of throwing the Russian in front of the baht bus.as for whose to blame...let's blindfold you and keep sending you across the road.he walked across the road without looking.the same mentality as stepping out of a plane before its landed.

In civilized countries there are speed limits which are enforced. Many a***ole bikers in Pattaya seem to think they can ride as fast as they like and its upto pedestrians to jump out of the way. These lazy, arrogant p****s should try walking or using a baht bus. Too many bikes in Pattaya already - tourists and expats should not be allowed to hire or buy motorcyles.

Yeah righty o.stop tourists going to the beaches because they might drown,stop jet ski rental,stop car rental and make everyone sell their bikes and scooters and buy cars.just because it was a big bike,it could of been a scooter or tuk tuk speeding and as it looks and was reported the baht bus may of killed him..also in the report the victim stepped out into the road without looking which I would say is the main cause of this accident.if I went to cross the road without looking I wouldn't be here writing this comment today.

Perhaps if you go back and read my original comment. Hitmen have targeted "hits" because they are paid to do so. The mass murderers you list do not fall within the generally accepted definition of "hit man" as any dictionary will tell you

I think we are getting crossed lines on this one.i know I named serial killers with a different motive to why they committed their crimes but a Gang member hitman who kills someone and thinks they have gotten away with it will have a high disrespect of the law and less respect for a humans life and is more likely to kill than you or I.also being in a drug dealing bike gang and a hitman the chances are he would do it again.as for innocence or being a drug dealer/gangster,I don't think a hitman has the right to be judge,jury and executioner on that.

The case we are discussing is of one organised crime hit man killing another organised crime figure. There is no evidence that the serial killers you list started off as hitmen against organised crime figures and branched out into killings of non-crime figures

Sorry but I thought hitmen killed many people.

7 minutes ago, SaintLouisBlues said:

I'm not sure there's a lot of hard evidence to support that assertion

Jack the Ripper,Yorkshire ripper,Harold shipman,Jeffrey damah,ted bunny,Fred west the list goes on.if they think they've got away with it once,they are probably going to do it again,maybe not turn into serial killers but there's a good chance they will kill again.

Just now, SaintLouisBlues said:

Surely killing a few more gangsters would be a good thing?

Yes agree but the next victim may be someone who may not be a bad person.it would be a power thing with a man like this.a lot of the time if some one kills and gets away with it they go on to do it again.

If this man had gotten away with it then he sure would of killed more in the future.best he's behind bars for a long long time.

I've seen these lambo's and bentleys with Laos reg plates 8888 around udon thani many times.must be they're getting a better price for rice in Laos than here in issan.anyone who owns such cars should be looked at in depth and prove where the funds are from to purchase such luxury items.

Name anything that comes via a tv and my wife will find it for me from the net.ive nicknamed her platinum plus.if it free she will find it..Netflix yeah,righty ho.

differ from the current cards !

 

No, they can't even do a Press release right and they want you to spend money without telling you what your are buying , Do they really think that foreigners are really that stupid 

Yes they actually do.

it is still very early days in the bitcoin world,

i suggest you start stocking up on some,

i have thought about starting an AMA bitcoin thread on TV,

to help explain to TV members in laymans terms what bitcoin is.

I just had a peep at bitcoin price.its up 1.11% since opening today.thats about 400 times better than bkk fixed term over 1 year.so 100 bitcoins @ just a fraction off 37,000b would be 3.7mb...1.11% up today,nearly 40,000baht up today.have I got that approx right?

Kicking myself about that one,a pal told me about them when they had first come out.he was an anti capitalist and said it's the way forward but I took it as a joke as he said you can pay for drugs and hit men with them.

Sell the knife and pay for sex,it ain't rocket science.

If the parents don't know any better, how can you expect them to teach their kids not to look down the barrel of a gun, swim, etc.?

From nothing comes nothing. 

First the parents have to be educated and ONLY then will they have any knowledge/advice to pass on. 

 

Oh well that's the next few generations flicked then.was going to mention the teachers but they need educating as well.

No, you haven't got it straight because you haven't read the full report properly.  The police revoked her original driving licence after the collisions and she was insured. 

 

Apart from that you did het [sic] it right

In my old country your insurance is void if you are dui and you end up with a criminal charge of no insurance.

I note the 8-year-old was suspiciously "in the toilet" when it happened. Very convenient.

Yeah I think he needs a little bit of interrogation to tell you the truth.might be the elder was up for the land inheritance.

Myself I learnt from a very early age never to look down a barrel of a gun,how to swim,cross the road safely,stay away from fire and electric,don't eat something you are not sure about,what do these children get taught at school? Has anyone ever noticed that when Thais buy toys for the boys it's always a plastic gun or dagger.no Lego or airfix modelling out here.

I'll have a job there baggage handling.crap pay but then you can help yourself to all the goodies.cant see it affecting passengers much the pilot could unload a A380 and get them on the belt before you've cleared immigration.
