    There is nothing like the feeling of pulling out the old pistol and aiming it at the foot.  This mask move is bound to play right into the "hate foreigners" playbook. If this gains traction, it could easily spiral into a nightmare for everyone. It's time to wake up the boys at the top and urge action. Someone needs to be reassigned to a "quiet" posting in upper Thailand before this situation escalates further.  Just say it was a misunderstanding, a language barrier problem; you know.

    Not upper Thailand  send them down south  the "insurgents" can have them

    Between Thailand preparing for nuclear power plants (engineers anyone?) and Oz preparing for building, manning & running its own nuclear-powered submarines in the 2040s, I'm not sure where the worst risks lie.

    Where do you get your info... Australia certainly isn't planning any nuclear power stations, get you "facts" right... lies don't help.

    Police arrested an Australian man for allegedly stealing a motorcycle from a rental shop in Koh Samui and taking it on a joyride to Koh Pha Ngan in the southern province of Surat Thani.

     

    The manager of the Fanta Group Car Rental Shop in Koh Samui, Jurairat Janrung, filed a complaint with Bor Phut Police Station on March 3, reporting the theft of a motocross motorcycle worth about 300,000 baht. The 32 year old Jurairat suspected the theft occurred on the night of March 2.

     

    Officers checked security cameras and saw a man, later identified as 56 year old Helmul Ing Obritzberger, enter the rental shop and disappear. Another CCTV camera reportedly showed Obritzberger leaving the scene on a motorcycle.


    Further investigation revealed that Obritzberger took the motorcycle to a ferry at Ban Bangrak Pier in Koh Samui, heading to Koh Pha Ngan. The Australian man then disappeared from police sight after arriving on the island.


    Police tried to track down the motorcycle using its registration number, ปป 4493 but were unable to find it anywhere on the island.

     

    After three weeks of searching, police found that Obritzberger had changed the registration plate of the motorcycle to 1 กว 1982, changed the colour of the wheels, and changed his clothes upon arrival at Koh Pha Ngan.

     

    However, officers managed to identify him by his footwear. They located Obritzberger and apprehended him on Koh Pha Ngan at approximately 5pm on Tuesday, March 26.

     

    Obritzberger is facing charges under Section 335 of the Criminal Law for committing theft during nighttime. The penalty for this offence ranges from one to five years of imprisonment and a fine ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 baht.

     

    Although Obritzberger admitted that it was him captured in the security camera footage, he denied stealing the motorcycle and requested to engage his lawyer. However, the officers remained unconvinced and transported him to Koh Samui Court for temporary detention.

     

    Police told MGR Online that the Australian man frequently visited Koh Pha Ngan but did not stay in hotels or resorts on the island. He was seen staying in a tent near a hotel or shopping mall.

     

    Police added that Obritzberger previously rented motorbikes on the island and refused to pay fees, although no formal complaints had been made against him.

    I'm going out on a limb, but but is it possible he's from Austria... not Australia. Anyway, if guilty  he deserves what he gets.

    Don’t fall for offers of being fast-tracked through airport Immigration say officials… there’s no such service.

     

    A senior official from Thailand’s Immigration Bureau has responded to an online ad offering a fast-track immigration service at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports. Choengron Rimphadee says the service, advertised at a cost of 2,900 baht per flight, doesn’t exist.

     

    The ad appeared on the website of a car rental company and swiftly came to the attention of immigration officials. The ad, which stated, “Fast track arrival-departure 2,900baht/flight” has now been removed.

     

    Choengron says airport immigration counters do not offer a fast-track option, but the process has been improved overall.

    How, exactly, can my showing that the Interpol red notice was issued be interpreted as "defending him"?    I have never defended his actions and you can quote nothing to show that I have.

    Go troll someone else, and kiss your Thai master rear end  the ones who issue then remove the notice, to make it seem like they are doing something.

    Fact, no red notice  or any notice, is currently active.

    Vorayuth Yoovidhya faces fresh charges after public outrage led to further investigations

    Interpol has issued a “red notice” to arrest the fugitive Thai heir to the Red Bull billions over his role in a fatal hit-and-run incident in Bangkok, police have said.

    The move by the international police organisation is the latest in the years-long saga surrounding Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya who crashed his Ferrari in 2012, killing a police officer.

     

    The charges against Vorayuth, who is the grandson of Red Bull’s co-founder Chaleo Yoovidhya, were dropped in July, sparking public outrage among the Thai public who saw it as an example of impunity granted the wealthy in the country.

    The anger led to investigations being launched by various government agencies including the attorney general’s office, which last month announced fresh charges against Vorayuth of reckless driving causing death, and cocaine use.

    A police spokesman, Col Krissana Pattanacharoen, confirmed on Sunday that a red notice – Interpol’s most urgent alert – was issued earlier this week.
     Details of the notice.
