This is fake news. That is NOT a sinkhole. A sinkhole is a natural occurrence caused by erosion. This is yet another example of incompetent road building, where concrete covers of man made drains collapse because of inadequate materiel and planning

Form a committee to investigate the investigation and give the culprits time to organise their affairs and put witness intimidation measures in place, obviously.

Interesting concept. Laws are made by politicians not police. Any non enforcement has to be agreed to by the lawmakers. i.e. the politicians who made the law decide not the police. Otherwise we live in a police state where the people (represented by the politicians) have no say

It was originally reported in this forum

friends accuse deceased of shooting himself 🤣😂🤣😂 you can only accuse a living person

Thailand already has a national ID card system. Why are they bringing in another ID card? Why not just present the Thai national ID card? Seems like someone in the bureaucracy is busy building an empire

If this was done without instruction from China then the Chinese embassy has an incompetent diplomat in post who needs to be recalled.

This whole thing is to divert attention from the incompetence of the people who designed and placed the covers. Any vehicle could have dislodged those covers. The fact that the truck was overloaded is incidental. In the previous incident where a pickup dislodged covers and fell into a hole the pickup was not overloaded

Sounds like either he didn't pay protection money or a rival restaurant felt they were taking business

This leads on from the recent assaults and murder of innocent Chinese citizens by 'unknown' assailants who then take the next plane back to China with their I'll gotten gains of 5 to 10 thousand baht. Obviously employees of the Chinese state sent to cause mayhem and promote this kind of solution.

Not Interpol. US marshals work as drug liaison officers in Thailand. Each embassy has similar personnel working with local police. Interpol may be included in the intelligence gathering but the liaison officers are police officers of the embassies country.

The Farang police in Thailand are unpaid volunteer expats. It seems that we are talking about paid serving Chinese police officers who's primary loyalty is the Chinese state and enforcing Chinese law. I am also aware that police cooperate around the world in drug enforcement agencies you often find embassy advisors working with local police where the final destination for the drugs is their country

Operating illegally in many western countries to suppress expat Chinese and monitor Chinese asylum seekers using the threat of harm to their families in China if the asylum seekers don't keep quiet. This is merely a further step in their lockdown.

Agreed the concrete panels were easily dislodged i.e. they collapsed they did not break. Thus the weight of the vehicle is irrelevant. No central support to prevent slippage.

Passing the buck that concrete should not have collapsed like that.

Electrocution does not necessarily cause death, so yes.

I don't understand, what are you trying to say? I responded to a rather stupid comment that this furore was because of a possible same sex relationship, which is definitely not true

Good point

So he should have allowed the bully to beat him with the stick whilst threatening him with a gun and taken a video at the same time. Of course you are right he should not have defended himself or retaliated

Sounds like the man was being persistently bullied. The bully arrived at his house threatening him with a gun. He snapped And the stupid bully paid the price. In this case I have some sympathy for the perpetrator who had nowhere to run

Its not about a 'same sex relationship' Thais are extremely tolerant of that. It's the fact that he is a monk and monks are not supposed to have relationships with women or men, they are supposed to remain celibate

Second incident of this type this week. Overloaded truck or not the concrete slab should not have collapsed. Very poor roadbuilding again. Fortunately no one has been killed in either incident. It seems like the higways authority has a lot to answer for what with electrocuting and killing citizens on a regular basis and badly made collapsing concrete covers

Why do you need a link? All the relevant sources have been quoted go look for yourself

Spot on Exactly as I understood it although I never took the course

Just because the pickup hit the side of the ambulance does not put the pickup driver at fault. It is more likely that the ambulance driver just drove into the path of the pickup and the pickup driver had no time to stop. Sirens are difficult to hear when coming from the side as you approach a junction and blue lights can't be seen if there are buildings in the way so advance warning is often not possible for other drivers. That is why emergency vehicles MUST proceed with extreme caution and slow or even stop at traffic lights and junctions until the other traffic sees and hears them and gives way.
