She's out already. 3 year sentence, reduced to time served waiting for trial(92 days). Probably due to the plea deal.

 

You didn't read the OP?

What a maroon!

In Thailand are they allowed to enter a home without a warrant? I have no idea but if they do need some official paperwork then what they did was out of order.

They can enter private property if they can see a crime happening in plain sight.  This is a cornerstone of all law enforcement in every country that I'm aware of.

In this case, they could clearly see people sitting around and gamble -or at least they thought it was gambling.

Definitely just a misunderstanding!

All three are upstanding members of the Nigerian Royal Family, and just waiting for their inheritances to clear a simple probate procedure.

Perhaps if we all send them a few thousand $US each, it will help them get their money, and they will reward us with a chunk of their money!

Who wants to create the gofundme?

Hey, it was a mistake.  

The police apologised and left.  That's what they're supposed to do.

But I can't help but feel that some here wouldn't be happy unless the cops beat confessions out of everybody.

Looks French

I agree.  

Wearing black-on-black, he's too color coordinated to be from the UK.

But that pointed bullet head of his, Russian?

Medical staff confirmed that the pills had been wrapped in plastic bags, one of which had burst, prompting the emergency.

Amateur!  Everyone knows you're supposed to double-bag them in condoms, like how the Columbian coke mules do it.

The toddler was stuck inside for over 30 tense minutes while the alarmed parents scrambled for a solution. The anxious scene unfolded when the girl's parents, stepping away briefly to use the restroom, returned to discover their child had accidentally hit the lock button.

 

A quick-thinking attendant at the gas station was pivotal in this rescue, immediately alerting the Phimai Rescue Unit. With the clock ticking, the rescuers arrived armed with special tools and carefully pried open the car's window near the control panel.

 

After a nail-biting 20 minutes, the rescuers managed to free the little girl unharmed, much to the relief and gratefulness of her anxious parents.

Seriously?  It took 30-minutes to get the kid out?  This needed a rescue squad and specialized equipment?

...

They were at a service station fer chrissakes!

Next to no damage so the driver can't have been going that fast.  

 

Take another look at the top picture.  Notice how much bark had been scraped-off of the tree.

That car went into the tree sideways and probably caused extensive damage to the frame, effectively totalling the car.

And, as the car has been abandoned, I'm guessing the engine or drive train were knocked-out as well.

I’m fairly ignorant about military hardware, but isn’t the top picture one of an anti aircraft gun? 
 

Yep.  It's a ZU-23-2 = twin barrelled, 23mm autocannon.  Introduced by the Soviet Union, but copied by China.

While it was meant to be a short-range AA gun, the one you see here, in Africa, and in Ukraine, are mostly used against vehicles, light armor, buildings, and infantry.

They can fire explosive shells which are devastating against infantry, even hidden in woods or buildings.

I would have kept my mouth shut and kept the money 😂

I'll bet she did. 

But she probably got scared as that much cash would mean that criminals would eventually come around looking for it..

Look, if you want to communicate with me you should do it in an appropriate way. 

Since you can't....look for an idiot. It's not me 

I am communicating appropriately. 

I've used facts based on actual, real-world combat records.

You jumped-in making wild claims based-on an obvious lack of understanding the subject.  Or history.

My assumption about what part of your body your claims comes from, stands.

About 150,000 baht per month on average but it varies a lot.

About £2.5 million.

 

150k baht/month is £40k a year

So how could you save £2.5 million making £40k year?  And you are obviously young.

And with only 70k subs?

Good decision. Out of control by US !

Europe should do same.

Gripen, Raffale, Eurofighter...All much better than F16

Really?

And what are your qualifications to declare "All much better than F16"?

Which block F-16s are you talking about?   Do you know what " block" means and how much they affect the capabilities of a 50-year old design?

The F-16, flown by all allies has a 76-1 record vs Russian/Soviet/Chinese jets, what records do the others have?

...or perhaps you are merely talking out of your backside?

Good to know!

I have under eye bags that could do with a little "lifting" and the name of a good surgeon is always useful to have!

Thanks!

What is the cause?  

Age-related sagging of skin (eyelids) that may obscure vision?

Purely cosmetic?

Finally!

Phuket has something to rival Pattaya's strain of Super Gonorrhea!

Those two are so jealous of each other. 

Hmm, if brake fluid somehow finds its way onto the car body, it will strip the paint down to bare metal or plastic in as little as 10-minutes...

That'd be terrible if it happened to these cars!

I don't know Singapore enough to know  the area that he was in, but a jail sentence seems a little harsh,

 

I'm glad you don't run Singapore, because you'd turn it into another Thailand.

The issue here is that someone tried to bribe 2 Singaporean law officers.  It doesn't matter what initial contact was for.

He could have gotten years.  

I hope they find the Bitcoin memory stick he hid up his backside

The best thing would be to turn Ma over to the Chinese.

While China turns a blind eye to most crimes their citizens commit overseas, these call centers target China and the CCP is very sensitive to their citizens having their life savings stolen.

If Ma gets turned over to China, he will live the remainder of his life in a hard labor camp, whereas he would be able to buy a comfortable prison life in Thailand.

DOPE !!! 😂

 

Six customers for spending a 1000bht , big spenders there .

Always amazes me these sellers put bag after bag on the counter to show people and don't think to maybe just show them 1 or 2 at a time . Not to mention the seller has probably been testing it in the shop so is stoned and not paying attention.

Sure, blame the victim for providing good customer service at his business.

If they were suspicious of everyone and only brought out one item at a time to examine, you'd probably complain that they hated Farang.

Sounds like those Aussies came in with a plan to distract, steal, and pass-off to another.
