Mr Meeseeks

And to whence he will return when the inevitable repatriations and remigrations commence.

Attempted murder charges for the Thai attacking his head with a blade.

Reminded me of this scene:

Hope the dum pit pee got what he deserved.

They are all cycle paths.

I would suggest, based on experience, that a vast majority have some sort of weapon in the cab i.e. tyre iron, golf club etc.

I read the last executioner when it came out years ago. Not bad, a lot of interesting info about how they perform the executions.

Welcome to Hell by Colin Martin was my favourite of the Bangkok Prison Books.

They will do a few years then deported back home to complete the rest of their sentence. That's how it usually works. The guy on death row will probably be in a Thai jail longer then executed, if a Royal Pardon is not forthcoming.

Only after prerequisite bribes are paid to local officials.

They are not Thai. The article needed to clarify that the Thai national wasn't really Thai, but a Pakistani with a Thai passport. A real Thai would never commit such a heinous crime. 😉

The foreigner must have been provoked. That's how it works, amirite?

Another step towards the inevitable remigration of Islamic hordes from Western Europe.

The 'normal' Thai girls are even worse, in my own experience.

I was thinking the same... SMIB

They were just taking the bike back to the rental shop.

Some of the posters here must live in another country if they have never seen violence in Thailand. I have seen some horrific violence in person, some provoked, some unprovoked: Student getting stabbed inside and outside Panthip Plaza. Blood everywhere. Yaba'd up fruit seller on Soi 22 randomly stabbing passers-by until collared by Police. He had a go at the Police as well btw. Bus driver assaulting taxi driver on Soi 22 with an iron bar after he got stuck trying to turn the corner and the cabbie wouldn't/couldn't move. Korean tourists being laid to waste by bouncers outside Shark Bar in Soi Cowboy. American expat having his neck broken on Soi Cowboy after a Thai kicked him in the head. Fortunately never have been a victim of it myself. Also had two friends murdered by their Thai spouses in my time here. As to foreigners, I've drunk with murderers (later caught and convicted), Scotland Yard's Most Wanted, top football hooligans (Chelsea Headhunters), UVF paramilitaries, etc.

I don't. Don't project on others your own background and experiences.

Are you suggesting that women provoke rape because of the way they dress?

Could have been, a lot of petty jealous people around.

Latest anecdote: A few months ago, I was on the way to work and stopped for an Amazon coffee. I parked my Benz in a proper parking space at the PTT station and my gf went in to get the coffees. While I was sitting in the car some Thai man slapped my boot (trunk) lid hard with his hand when he was walking behind my car for no apparent reason whatsoever. He could not have seen I was in the car or that I was a farang because of the tints. I immediately got out and (in Thai) asked him what he thought he was doing. He apologised, but I could see in his eyes he was belligerent and angry. I got back in my car, and he got back in his pickup where he and his pal continued to stare at me and act threateningly. My gf returned with the coffees and I drove off. Don't kid yourself, the potential for unprovoked violence is definitely there. If you think the Thais are all happy, passive and everything is provoked by nasty foreigners, then you are a complete idiot.

Ah yes, that old chestnut. I have no anecdotal evidence of it happening to me, therefore it never happens.

Disgusting victim blaming. Thai kids are involved in gang violence all the time, suggest you get off your bar-stool and read/watch the news.

Thailand hasn't existed for 2000 years. They were heavily involved in Vietnam and backed the Khmer Rouge against the Vietnamese after 1979. Coups without casualties? Dozens died just back in 2010 at Rajaprasong. The rest of your post was incoherent drivel.

The same one where the ferris wheel went on fire?
