My guess, is that the foreigners were only acting in self-defense and that is how the police should act like happened. 

I hope we get the full story, people are stupid but not this stupid, it is believable that the gun was removed to protect the kiwi's from an over zealous officer, if it is that simple that they refused a traffic stop got caught and tried to bribe there way out, as many locals do, then yes they are in a heal of trouble.

Instead of lambasting the elderly woman, with whom the dog had been left and who had apparently made a genuine and successful effort to get it re-homed after the actual owner's death last month, perhaps some empathy is required?

Agreed

They have clue.. They see all foreigners as tourists for a few weeks to spend their money here and leave. Long term expats and retirees are allowed here to sit at their home travel around the country and drink coffee, and the latest pay tax.. But they are not allowed to do even some volunteer work which on a retiring visa is impossible because you can't get a workpermit for free work on it.  So sit at home watch TV and go drink coffee and sometimes travel around ... That is retirement in Thailand and they are wondering why there are no people coming.

You need a work permit for everything that a Thai can't do, so no jobs left for long term expats

Try and employ a kitchen assistant or front of house lady, business owners are pulling there hair out (not the staffs there own)

You keep laughing at the Thai government regarding the many plans they have to date with Hua-hin airport, and even in the future, I venture to doubt that there will ever be decent connections between HH and the rest of the world.
...Yes, a megalomaniac train station they do have by now where a few trains a day come and go.

If you want to see a meglamanic train station come to Khon kaen but not by train.

150,000 debtors

125,000 creditors.

That's 1.2 per creditor.

 

The first thing I see here is........ these numbers can only exist if it's MOSTLY just one person lending money to another person: "Sure, my aunt Jo had a problem and I tried to help her out."

 

If there was something PREDATORY going on, here....... the number of creditors wouldn't be so close to the number of debtors!

 

If a lender is a predator..... generally speaking...... they're not going to lend to just one person. They're going to have multiple victims, so the profits they get from some........ can make up for the losses that inevitably occur with others.

 

I understand the government getting involved when there's something predatory going on. But when..... as it appears...... 90% of it is just one person lending to another? Seems like more of a Head of Village kind of problem, to me!

 

150,000 debtors

125,000 creditors

 

In a country of 50 million adults, these really aren't very big numbers.

 

 

 

Just about every Thai I know is either a lender or a borrower

I think the world should take note, to repair the economy give financial institutions a days holiday

Morlam when the village idiots come out to play is to be avoided
