Another 'hub' for Thailand..

Which one..?

Fair point...well put

Yes.. just releasing it would have made more sense..and saved a lot of speculation and perhaps animosity towards falang... glad she has now gone to a police station and confessed..

Attenborough's life in colour (watching it now on global trekker channel)... brilliant..not just a nature documentary..

The pictures in the article of the Russian, look like they are stills from a CCTV recording, you can see the yellow timing line with a blob on the line showing when/time in the video the still is from..

Thai's treat road safety as a joke.. why can't we...

Bob, are you on the same medication as old Gamma G..?

Repairs... Nah.. bit of t-cut and a can of spray paint... good as new..

Unless you are in Chiang Mai... then it's probably a good idea..

Not any more....

The immigration officer could have asked them ''Are you going to be naughty in Thailand'? Depending on their answer he could then decide to admit them or reject them...

Perhaps the copper was drunk or was angry and lost face when the Kiwis did not stop and went for his gun to just shoot him .. and the Kiwi quite scared for his life went to disarm him... I am NOT saying this is what happened, they may just have been a pair of eejits trying to resist arrest.... But I would like to hear the Kiwis version of events.. I do not speak Thai well enough to understand what the newsreaders were saying. But to me the bloke wrestling the copper on the floor to me does not look like he is going all in to bash up the copper and damage him .... Like I say I would like to hear both sides of the story first... And if they are guilty of bashing the copper up then fine... throw the book at them..

Just watched the video... maybe I was hasty in my judgement.. it looks like he MIGHT have been trying to restrain the policeman and remove his firearm to prevent something bad from happening once he takes possession he immediately gives it to his mate to make safe .. and his friends body language does not look threatening or aggressive... All the above might be a load of cobblers.. but I would like to hear what the Kiwis have to say...

I bet right now they are wishing that they had just stopped in the first place, and paid a couple of hundred baht 'fine' to the policeman......

What a pair of bell ends....

Says in the story... he is from Northern Cyprus....

Fair play to the copper..

Gamma put the crack pipe down, do the forum a favour, and go boil you'r head....

Not in this case....

Aliens on Uranus...

Just take it ..worst that happens is customs confiscate it...

Bit of T-Cut and a tin of grey paint.....good as new....

Whoops a daisy ...

Bob there is another thread open now, about a woman with bad injuries from being attacked by monkey's... this is why the vendors are trying to scare them off...
