The court issued a warant for her arrest.

Pretty useless those warrants, if the person has any wealth.

Even more useless if they are not issued before the suspect leaves the country.

Anyone who currently rides a bike larger than 400cc should breeze through any test The LTD devises.

Why?  Are you saying that a crappy rider of a 150cc bike will not be a crappy rider of a 400cc bike? 

Riding a +400cc bike doesn't necessarily give the rider any skills that the rider of a smaller bike doesn't have.

I paid for 3 days of training at a driving school prior to getting my motorcycle licence and it was a farce. I naively thought that the 3 days would be spent showing me the correct way to ride a motorcycle, what I actually got was a list of the highway code questions in English and was told to study them for the first day.

 

They had a fingerprint sign-in system and on the 2nd day they had me ride round the test course twice and then left me to look at the highway code again for the rest of the morning. At lunchtime they did the fingerprint thing and then told me to go home and come back at 5pm at which point they had me do they fingerprint sign-in and told me I was finished for the day.

 

The third day they had me take the test and that was it. Can't wait to see what the special training will consist of.

If you were proficient enough to pass the test (and you know whether you were or not), what's the problem?  If you weren't good enough (and you know whether you weren't) let's hope that you're not being a hypocrite and riding a bike.

I ride BMW 1000c in England , If 400cc is classed as a big bike ,what would my 1000c cc bike be classed as.

A big bike.

Some of you are so busy dissing Thailand that you miss that this maybe a precursor to bikes over 400cc being allowed on tollways.????

 

Just sayin....

And some have a wild imagination.  Let's hope the bikes stay where they are, regardless of a few cc.

You mean BADGES saying 350 cc sales go up. If the badge on the side says 350, how will the cops know different?

The regulation applies to engine size, not badge nomenclature.  If there is any dispute police will, obviously, have a reference!

Who says that it's "the best fish you can find"?  They don't produce their own fish so it's obviously no better than every other outlet that buys from the same supplier.

Just wondering though - does the batter have to include beer? Goujons is breaded... so maybe that's an alcohol-free alternative...

There is no alcohol in beer batter unless you're eating it raw!

I think I'm more concerned about what kind of fish it is, and where it's caught from... vs.  where it ends up being processed..   But dunno, how much the processing location ends up mattering in such things.

 

I agree, perhaps he's just one of those people who thinks that anything connected with China has to be bad and deserves denigration.

No idea but I do like the ad for the GS

What in Buddhas name do they run that thing on ??

Petrol, not LPG.

How on earth can you give bail to someone who has admitted shooting multiple bullets into two people. If one dies in hospital it will be a capital murder offence....why would he stay in Thailand if he is on trial for his life? If he has spent enough years collecting bribes as part of his job, he will have plenty of loot stashed away. This bail is part of the Boss System of justice.

He didn't admit it, he denied it!

Gave himself up, and then denied everything ??? Sherlock would even have a tough one understanding that. Is Columbo still around to offer an explanation?

Easy. He knew he was being looked for so he surrendered to the police and denied the charge.   That's everyone's right.

yes ... i agree 

Oh, yes, doubtless, all the evidence points to that, doesn't it?

Never heard of those price references.  On which website do you see these ads, any examples?

A lot of people in Thailand do not pay income tax.

Just like every other country, then.

Most all the cars have VAT rates between 10-20+%, mostly depending on size of engine.

Nonsense, VAT in Thailand is currently a flat 7%.

My last front plate I lost (flooded soi)... too much of a sheet fight to go to police and get a report then go to LTD and request new.. then wait weeks.

 

Guy at my old work said he could sort me and sure enough the "fake" plate came with the Embossed logo a week later Bt.500.

elistu and mercman24 would probably appreciate his contact details.

That's the point, the whole lot did not go up, perhaps he was aware of the limited danger posed to the tractor unit.

He could not know that.

To be on the safe side he could have moved the tractor unit while waiting for the fire service to arrive.

Yes, he certainly could have known that, he was there at the scene, you weren't.

See my post #4

When his attempts at extinguishing the fire failed he should have unhitched and moved the tractor unit from the trailer. Luckily the whole lot did not go up. 

 

That's the point, the whole lot did not go up, perhaps he, as someone actually at the scene, was aware of the limited danger posed to the tractor unit.  Perhaps his trying to restrict the area of the fire with the equipment that he had made more sense than stopping trying to fight the flames and allow them to spread while unhitching and moving the trailer.

Which "co-conspirators"?  He's the only defendant.

the people who facilitated the bribes

Which bribes?  Has any evidence been produced, yet, that there were "people facilitating bribes"?  No, there haven't, not yet, there's been plenty of unsubstantiated Thaivisa poster speculation though!  If all these bribes were paid how come he had to go on the run and how come an arrest warrant was issued for him?

None of which is illegal.

 

Tell that to the guy who drove Yingluck to Cambodia...

 

Oh, and you'd better check Thai law about drug possession.  There's hundreds of posts about people who pee tested positive and were charged with possession.  It's not the same as "back home".

Tell that to the guy who drove Yingluck to Cambodia...

She had been charged, her case heard, was waiting for the verdict and was on bail.  Vorayuth had not been arrested, nor was a warrant issued for his arrest when he left.  No similarity, at all,,between her circumstances and Vorayuth's!

"There's hundreds of posts about people who pee tested positive and were charged with possession".

"Oh, you'd better check" your sources because no, there aren't.  There may be a small handful who have been charged with using drugs detected in their systems, not possession.

There's a whole pack of people who aided and abetted his escape from justice.  Drove him to the airport, flew him out, met him on the other side, provided (and continue to provide) him the funds... 

None of which was illegal, he left Thailand before the arrest warrant was issued.

Who carried out the raids, father christmas?

The OP and the link clearly state that the raids were carried out by provincial officials after the police investigation.
