Wow the video shows the brute throwing her seriously hard to the ground, she could have been seriously injured.

The police should take this seriously and charge the man with actual bodily harm with intent.

What do you expect from an inept, corrupt, lazy, mafia-like police force?

For the sake of the

with implications for the reputation of the police force and the rule of law in Thailand?  My goodness, that would be awful! One shudders at the thought the Thai police force’s reputation might be tainted! And the rule of law! What is the world coming to! Remember the Biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah with God asking Abraham  to find 10 righteous people to spare the cities….you know what happened! One can’t help wondering how many righteous cops….

Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo are as innocent as the day is long, many people from that area know what the truth is, that the son of the headman of Sairee Beach is a serial killer, and David and Hannah are not the only ones he's taken out.

 

These guys were framed, this is a super rich family who own the police, and this entire thing was a big setup from the beginning. It is a despicable situation, where truth and justice have never mattered. 

What else is new, unfortunately? TIT. Compare that with the way the criminal “Boss”, was let go with the complicity of police and others . One can only hope justice will be done somehow (karma?). The scales of justice eventually balance out.

Really, how is a 23 year old Thai cop going to come up with that kind of cash?

He could ask those policemen allegedly getting 100,000,000 baht per month in bribes from illegal businesses. No problem.

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin expressed concern about the upcoming influx of foreign visitors in the fourth quarter

You wanted more and more visitors, millions of them, right? You exempted citizens from China, India and other countries, right?  Well, deal with it now.

One of the horses at the stables in Pa Khlok which the 19-year-old American man was seen with in CCTV footage supplied to police in Thalang. The young man is due to meet with police on Saturday at Thalang Police Station in Phuket.

American 19, caught abusing horses in Phuket. Thalang Police to grill suspect after disturbing allegations & CCTV evidence. Appointment made with father’s consent. Cruelty or abuse charges loom.

Thai police are to interview a 19-year-old American man in the Thalang area of Phuket over sexual interference with horses. An appointment with police was made after officers with Thalang Police Station and tourist police met the man’s father this week. It followed a reluctant complaint by local horse owners in the Pa Klok sub-district over the young man’s repeated behaviour. The complaint included CCTV evidence to support the claims. 

 

Thalang Police are actively investigating a disturbing complaint involving a 19-year-old American man made by locals.

 

A local couple who breed horses allege that the young man is committing indecent acts with animals. At length, their stable is located in the Pa Khlok sub-district of Phuket.

The worried owners Chatcharo Lek-Awut, 50, and his wife, Ms. Praphada, 43, initially reported the ongoing incidents to the Thalang Police last month.

This was "the plan".

Exactly. Thaksin would never have accepted to come back knowing he would ACTUALLY spend time in jail. The whole thing is a sham and a slap in the face of the Thai people.

has there been any info on what these health issues actually were ? or just the usual excuse game. 

Indeed! In the meantime, a civil servant who used an official for his personal use for two years gets a 50 year sentence!!! Mind-boggling but, again, TIT “justice”.

The charade continues

Pedophilia in the Catholic Church has been well documented because the omertà was lifted. There are good reasons to believe it is rife in other religions, too, but the fear of revealing incidents involving religious figures, as was, and still is, the case in the Catholic Church, has deep cultural roots.

If we were to have any discussion up to your standards then they would be held in a court room with access only to undisputed facts - this is not the case on a forum which is specifically designed for discussion.

 

Although its clear from all of your posts (on every thread) that you are unable to arrive at any conclusion of your own instead rigidly believing anything written in what is often a poorly written article very thin on information, others are capable of 'making assumptions' based on experience and information....   

 

I also suppose bias comes into it... and my bias is that when there is a pickup loaded with people travelling at speed, its usually driven by someone who isn't particularly careful or fastidious about safety, especially in a country where safety its not a priority...    So, assumptions can be drawn for the purposes of discussion... 

 

You clearly do not like people discussing these assumptions and are only willing to discuss what is written in an article, yet you forget that what often is written in an article is often someone else's assumption or interpretation of what has happened....

 

IF you only want RIP comments, you should perhaps start reading obituaries, if you don't want discussion read the news... 

 

 

All legitimate questions and the answers are well-known.

No, no! Let him die in prison. The death penalty is too lenient à treatment.

As a Brit I am not going to defend a drunk Brit abroad. They are an embarrassment to themselves and the country they are from but I have seen many drunk Thais going around our village and they are dealt with so well by the locals in the main. These cowards really do hunt in packs don't they and worse still run when the Police arrive. Why I always stay armed with something in this country just in case some anti foreigner gang decides I am an easy target. Having said that this country is still way less violent than the UK. The UK is lost.

Same in France where wokism is wreaking havoc in schools and universities. Schools are becoming “factories of cretins” to use the title of a book by a French journalist about the appalling state of education in that (my) country.

Use BOLT taxi service, app is super easy to use, a little cheaper than GRAB.

 

Bolt has options of car with full taxi branding, motorcycle or 'econo' car, meaning basic car in good condition and very clean, no taxi branding. I use 'Econo' car, about 10 to 15 Baht cheaper than branded taxi. 

 

One item: BOLT curently only accept cash, soon to be changed to have QR code etc. Drivers always have change.

 

Can add extra details of location of pick up in English, their app automatically/immediately changes your message to Thai for the driver. 

 

App shows where the car is all the time. 

 

BOLT driver's courteous and focused.

Agreed. I have used them several times. Excellent service.  Bolt is also present in Paris: cheaper than Uber.
