I am really wondering what is going on in Phuket. I can't imagine that a foreigner hitting a Thai woman can make such big problem. There must be something else beneath it. According to my Thai partner, are the people Phuket bored with foreigners, as many hotels and houses are built at the seaside and everybody claims private beaches. Sellers are not allowed anymore on the beach and several other rules.. I believe that is surely a thing that is true. But to blame one person for it is a bit too much. I don't agree he has hit the woman but if I read today Aseannews I see a lot of topics and also several days already, while in Korat in Terminal 21 was a shooting and almost nobody cares about that. So why is hitting a woman so far worse than a shooting with several people wounded?? That keeps me asking What is going on in Phuket??

What happened before is that other people where on public property which he claimed being his and then him going ape<deleted>. 

This is a very clear case but still you are looking for ways to discredit Thai people, get a life.

So Thai people are angels don't make mistakes??? I have a happynlife but I am wondering how Thai life would be if no foreigners came to the country anymore...  Maybe  a bit less foreignphobic would give you a better life too

They can't handle the tourists that come in now according to the latest numbers 6 million in 8 weeks. How will they ever be able to manage 150 million in a year?.. Thailand hub of dreams, unrealistic ideas and hub of talking with no actions

Typical Thai.. The singers were not so good and the audience complained... a fight broke out and he went home to get a gun to shoot the complainers...Probably all result of too much noise all the time that makes people oversensitive, too much alcohol and too long parties. Temples first of all should be a place to meditate and rest/peace, but in Thailand these temples are used as an entertainment venue with many activities, as movies, dancings, parties, just name it with a lot of noise. Rip to the victims, but probably Noppadon will face no charge as he a member of the volunteer defence corps... Justice in Thailand has we have seen many times doesn't exist. It will be a misunderstanding

The justice system is weak??? No there is no justice system.. it is a system that is corrupt, and only for the poor and the unwanted. Elite, and people with money can do as they want even as the treatment of prisoners or suspects by the police...Examples more over..  Thaksin case, look how they treat hungerstrikers, the prisoners in the Covidperiod, and in normal cells which overcrowded etc etc...With the corrupt judges and the influence on sentences of Government and others by them there is no justice. 

I have always questions, as the story is never complete and or investigated... Probably more than a woman sitting on  the stairs and being kicked.. And of course as a foreigner never touch a Thai.. these people are holy and never do the same with foreigners... 

Thailand the hub of non working days and extra holidays.... And than they are worried about the economy. I have never learned that more holidays are good for the economy. Mostly the opposite.. but with almost 40 days off in a year it is no wonder that that the economy will decline

Maybe a 21st century computer system connected with all immigration checkpoints and offices could be a start. How is it possible to enter with a false passport? They take their time to check at arrivals as we see the queues so where did it go wrong? And all the other offenders.....Thais are not better than these foreigners

There should be rules for the decibels but with no enforcement nothing will work. Noise is too loud everywhere in Shopping malls/ supermarkets like Big C and Lotus's, many speakers screaming with as an extra a background music that belongs in a club, temples, outside parties that you can hear several kilometers from home, in cars driving around with commercials or private cars with boxes that are so loud that they never can hear a ambulance, schools and announcements of the amphur by radio and of course the karaoke bars and other entertainment venues, they want to open till 4 am but first they should be ready with all the rules of noise, checking age and alcohol stop for people who are drunk already. It is their responsibility in fact, but nobody cares about anything 

If there are no enforcements there is no effect. Severe punishment as revoking licenses and high fines will stop the overcharging much better. Tourists have no clue because who is going to inform them in time?

Tomorrow is the 1st of March not the 1st of April... Ridiculous story
