So punish the foreigner with jail time, while security guards that kicked tourists in the head can just wai and pay a fine?

1. Who told you guard was fined and matter closed ?

2. You now comparing a drunken fight to an unprovoked king hit of an old man ?

it’s a good thing  you in no position of any decision making 👍

What’s next? Fried chicken  as fat burning medication ?

Potheads better to stock up , this time next year you be paying double and having trouble trying to find it . In the mean time police will be very busy chasing hundreds if not thousands who have plants growing in their homes 

If anyone to blame for this idiocy it is no other but Anutin

He pushed to legalize it without any safe guarding , proper thinking and planning

Now he is blaming foreigners operating illegally.

I am not a smoker and could not care either way, but this should have been properly studied and planned.

As much as all the pot heads are happy, do need to keep in mind, Thailand is the only place in SEA that has legalised it and Thailand is also a travel hub onto other countries.

Plenty of knobs who smoke in Thailand and take some with them on to their next destination, only to end up arrested for possession of an illegal substance.

On the other hand, you have hundreds if not thousands of people who have invested lots of money into opening shops but now will be forced to close down? who will compensate them?

In case of Pattaya, there is a shop literally on every corner, almost as bad as 7-11, once they forced to close, they will also be in breach of their leases, who will force landlords to refund? and who will compensate landlords for their losses?

Death penalty. 555

 

That'll teach him to share his opinion 

 

 

There is a huge difference between sharing an honest opinion and being vindictive sharing not only false information but getting others to do the same. 
 

too many idiots these days with access to social  media feel entitled to either get it their way or wedge an online war to inflict damage to a business and sadly evidently just as many idiots who think it’s ok.

I do not believe he was that stupid to hide it in his passport as he also had to clear immigration back home.

Sadly appears he was stupid enough to bring it over or forget empty out bag or shirt before travelling 

do not think he will get jailed for 20 years but will do at least 6 months 

Kind of ironic when Thai police motto is good guys in bad guys out I suppose applies to UK needs some more bad guys to replace the ones they lost 😂

Abdulloh's father revealed that while incidents of fare evasion have occurred in the past, the demand for additional money this time was intolerable. He believes that this event raises serious concerns about the treatment of local workers by foreign tourists.

Interesting he does not think ripping off tourists by the local workers is a concern 😂

It hasn't started yet. You were using DHL and UPS and they have been charging import/storage/clearing fee for decades.  

With them is not only about fees but also value that they put on.

Judy had a case where I bought something for 2000 baht but there was a discount 500 baht , all showing on the invoice and yet they insisted charging on 2000

what they gonna do with registered post ? Open up each parcel and put a value on it ?

manpower will need to triple to do all that and delays would be weeks if not longer in addition to many items possibly going missing or misplaced 

Is Thai government that broke ?

It is  bad enough as is with tax on items over 1500, they want to make it even worse?

they worry about cheap products flooding the market ? But will tax individual parcels ? Great thinking 

Guard is not a punching bag, however there are many ways to respond, even more if other party is a woman . Giving her a king hit is not one. 
 

not sure what justice they are seeking , if financial , good luck with that , he is a guard and company will never pay.

When addressing reporters, he affirmed his position as a deputy police chief, arguing that his dismissal hasn't been officially confirmed with a royal decree.

So he was fired and charged but he does not recognise and accept it because it was not published ?

Interesting that he does not mention any charges

Question they should he asking is where he got full commandor rifle with ammunition from ? Sure as hell not from the local market

I thought that the reports in the BP and here said that his wife owned the properties.

She is independently wealthy.

She is but reports said wealthy friend, well known local businessman owned and gave it to him free, unless there was another “twist” that I missed 

His rise through the ranks and fame was backed by 1 person, one who gets nice watches from dead friends. Moment that person lost power BJ started having problems.

it is mind blowing how some can be that thick to think he is clean when he went from tourist police captain to LT General in a matter of a year or so, which would normally take at least a decade for anyone else. 
 

it is just as mind boggling how same people think he is clean when he has “friends” paying rent for his  house and rents for his aids

Fecking Russian 

Thai hospital staff bloody brilliant!!

Great experience every time.

Send these coward war Dodgers home .

Cockey arrogant big headed loud  annoying 

Skin cringing 

And that's just the women !

PISS OFF  Home ! 

War dodgers? It’s a good thing ignorance is a bliss ehh?

there is no forced mobilisation in Russia , no one needs to dodge anything , at least educate yourself to appear half as ignorant.

Russians coming here because they cannot go to crimea and it’s cheaper to come to Thailand than to go to Sochi and most importantly most were here for the winter with many returning in the coming months for Russian summer 

Good to see all the racist comments, but lets ignore poor service and treatment in public hospitals, lack of English, long queues, and doctors who do not know the difference between antibiotic and antiinflammation.

rooms with 20 people, dirty and smell, totally disinterested nurses, unless you tip them 500-800 per day

Here is some flash news, with influx of people, number of hospitals or medical staff has not increased hence not enough to cater, hence rudeness. 

Solutions, either build more hospitals or double number of medical staff and bring in Russians who speak English and some Thai as translators and font guest relations officers.

Private hospitals do not seem to have problems with rudeness, do they?

Though I agree with you on some issues, I want to offer my input as a 2 weeks stay a month in Bangkok for the past 28 years.  I am Malaysian by birth but lived mostly in Thailand as missus is a Chinese descent Thai. 
thai immigration policy may be regressive with respect to long stay visa issue , service standard, scams and such however, thailand infrastructure is second to none other than Singapore. Internet speed is impressive. Hotels ,both luxury and budget ,aplenty. Restaurants can be both luxurious or cheap satisfying all budgets. Nightlife is also affordable. You can have a good holiday with any budgets . Of course rates of yesterday is over as society progresses but that is to be expected. Malaysia ,which I am familiar with, had not progress both economically or socially these past 2 decades while Thailand plow ahead. Given the Thai abilities, it is impressive that they had managed to govern their country as it is and not run the country to the ground. 

That’s the difference between being a tourist and someone living full time.

while internet speeds are impressive getting connected , reconnected or disconnected from the service may turn into a ww3 , as more than often simple things are turned into a nightmare.

you say thailsnd plowed ahead? In what regard? 
 

let me tell you , I opened a new company and no one knows what license I require to get . Each government office points finger at each other while I go in circles 

my visa has been same for 25 years and yet every year they require same documents over and over again and sadly enough it is the same officer manning same counter who has seen me 25 years and not once have I had just a nod , forget about a smile or a small talk.

even bar scene. There are there to entertain and get drinks from foreigners and yet speak even less English than they did a decade ago 

Influential people and people with bad influence is not one of the same
