That is the Thai woman's version of the events.
I reckon she stole the cards, bought gold with the cards and then sold the gold so she could get cash.
I agree

Considering none of the barriers are knocked over do you think the barriers were put up AFTER the accident?

Anticipation builds as the Songkran festival in Chiang Mai, set to span 10 days, is projected to pull in millions of tourists, raking in an estimated 20 billion baht in revenue.
This year’s observance of the festival, scheduled from April 7 to 17, is particularly special as it not only seeks to uphold the local Lanna culture but also marks the city’s 728th anniversary, shared Deputy Governor of Chiang Mai, Weerapong Rithrod, and the city’s Mayor, Assanee Buranupakorn.
This year’s celebration stands apart from previous ones as the festival has recently been added to UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage list. Additionally, the Ministry of Culture has chosen the province as one of the five with the most iconic cultures and traditions. The festival will be a harmonious mix of cultural preservation and modern Songkran enjoyment activities, added Weerapong.
Assanee emphasised that, alongside the preservation of cultures and traditions, the festival also aims to provide a significant boost to the province’s economy and tourism. He foresees the event attracting millions of domestic and international tourists to the province.
Yet, not all is rosy. Paisarn Sukjarean, president of the Thai Hotels Association’s Upper Northern Chapter, shared that while foreign tourists have begun reserving hotel rooms in Chiang Mai, there has been a slower uptake among local tourists, possibly due to the prevailing air pollution in the province.Nonetheless, he remains optimistic, expecting a surge in local bookings as the festival nears. Smaller hotels and those within the three-to-four-star range are likely to be filled by Thai tourists, he expressed, with a confidence that 60% of hotel rooms will be occupied, reported Bangkok Post.
To ensure the safety and security of festival-goers, preparations are underway by the Provincial police to deploy 1,500 officers in the Chiang Mai city area, while an additional 3,000 officers will be assigned to cover the entire province.
In related news, Chiang Mai recently ascended to an undesirable top spot on the global stage as it experiences severe air pollution, making it the most polluted city in the world. The air quality in this northern Thai city has reached levels that pose significant health risks due to the pervasive spread of PM2.5 particles.

Where do they get the numbers from, unless it's Thais returning home, the pollution levels have been report globally...the Thai PM is reported as saying he won't declare a national disaster, because... wait for it... it could affect tourist numbers, partly because travel insurance would be cancelled.... so let people get sick, as long as the money comes in.... Just how sick is the Thai PM/government.

4 hours ago, it is what it is said:
of course they can do what they want, this is thailand and they are thai.
tbh, not all thais have this attitude, as with every country there is the xenophobic minority that have a loud voice.
i also suspect the government is happy that people are distracted from more pressing domestic issues such as the economy...
Nope, Thailand is a xenophobic country, it is ingrained from the day they start school

Removing footwear is the norm in Thailand. Far from stupid - I think that it is a great idea. Beats walking dirt, dog poo, whatever all over the place.
Maybe the lady lives in a shophouse? We do not know. It could also be her home.
The victim is the owner of the shop. Forget your western approach of 'it's the law'. No work - no dosh.
Go to any 7-11 any shopping mall, any hairdressers, any jewellery store... get my drift, footwear is not removed, where did you get this "norm" from. I wonder if the Thai "lady" removes her shoes when entering other stores.

Exactly, the police summons are optional. So why were the security guards at the estate threatened with arrest for not letting the police onto private property?
Also an arrest warrant can only be issued by a court. "Will be issued" is not up to the chief of police. They can request a warrant. They can't issue them.
You forget, the RTP believe they can do anything they like even making up their own laws, we see this so often.
