Yes remember it from 30 years ago. In this case the concern would be moreso whether to allow any soft or hard wood to be anywhere near your behind

If I were a prison guard there, I'd probably walk around with a 4 foot by 8 foot sheet of plywood strapped to my back all day.

I was thinking more a multistory building with verandahs but I can now see multiple uses for a 4x2 in such a place.

The 2 X 4 strapped to yer derriere used to be an old joke when a buddy was going after a promiscuous slut.

"Make sure ya don't fall in Buddy!"

Nothing to do with tranny's really, & could apply to all of Pattaya & half of BKK.

Special wings will be helpfull for those intending to attempt the prison plunge

Is that like a 2 X 4 strapped to your back, to keep from falling in?

Suger babies last night. The mamason who is attractive got drunk and stripped naked while dancing around the tables, the girls were screaming with laughter

And then she got in the shower and was handed an empty bottle of champaign.. Which she raped her self with lol

Walking St alive and well!

Yeah, & the uptight folks claim sexual exploitation & human trafficking, and sex tourists are what drive the trade.

Some (most) Pattaya gals just enjoy what they do! That argument is never brought out in public arguments.

freaking 5mg is like dust, it could have been blown onto her suitcase and they would have to forensics CSI dust the whole suitcase to get that amount lmao.

Yeah!

I've probably sneezed 5 mg of coke the day after, back in the 1980's when I experimented.

Blame it on Eric Clapton.

1 minute ago, Moonmoon said:

if it was 5mg then it is even less than 250mg, its like less than the grain of the pic i posted. the police probably had to wipe her suitcase clean and squeeze every rag with their strength since their milk drinking days to get that much. 

 

 

 

These same reporters are the ones who don't know that an .11 caliber weapon is actually a .45 caliber weapon (which is roughly 11 mm).

5 mg or 250 mg. 15 years is ludicrous!

Have to say that road is the worst I've driven here. It's not so much the inclines or the bends, but there are few passing places, you get stuck in long line of traffic, idiots overtaking blind, and oncoming traffic cornering slightly over the centre line. I was relieved when I got up it.

At least you were driving, as opposed to some maniacal mini-van driver like when I went thru there.

I've driven that road many times and every time there's people, who just have no patience and just got to pass on blind curves and hills. They ought to rename that highway either "THE DAREDEVILS ROAD" or "THE IDIOTS ALLEY". One good thing is they're in the process of widening it all the way from Tak to Mae Sot

Yeah I went thru there in a minivan once. 

It was like the driver thought he was James Bond or Michael Shumacher.

Scared me to death & I ain't scared of much!

Very well said - the hang em ,flog em , jail em  TV bar stool vigilantes are never far from a keyboard it would seem.

I agree.

When it comes to thugs on video stomping a guy's head 25 times, I say drag him to the nearest tree.

This lady theoretically had a minuscule amount of a white powdered drug, inside an M&M's bag (which is white inside).

She was denied a lawyer, and given a STUPID sentence.

the "people" on this forum dont live in the real world.  most have never even seen cocaine much less tried it.  they cant read between the lines of a so-called journalistic piece.  I honestly think that some of these people just look at the screen all day waiting for a new topic to come up so they can be first to reply and then see there name on the screen and maybe get some likes. wow.

this forum is for our amusement at how naive and just plain stupid some expats or tourists can be, with a little bit of good info thrown in.

And your point as related to this lady is what?

Air brakes on trucks. Brakes fail brakes lock on.

Brakes worn out, and or melted to mush, they don't work.

I've been in two vehicles when my brakes failed.

One was my fault, in a 1978 Chevy Monte Carlo, about 4:00 AM, in the rain...it needed a new brake booster & master cylinder.

Scared me half to death! I slammed it into low gear and stomped the parking/emergency brake.

I went slip-sliding all over the place, but (amazingly) never did hit anything.

2nd time I was in a one ton company F350 truck with a large (maybe 10 foot) trailer behind it, standard shift.

I went bouncing thru the ditch to keep from hitting the car in front of me, slammed it into low gear & somehow brought it to a stop.

I was about 18 both times.

Since those two incidents, I have replaced HUNDREDS of brake pads & shoes, rotors, drums, you name it on air and hydraulic sytems.

Brake cylinders, brake calipers, master cylinders, brake boosters, you name it.

I was born with a wrench in my teeth instead of a silver spoon.

My point is that brakes matter.

I was once asked to inspect 70 RTA HMMWV (Hummer) trucks on their way for a UN mission in Sudan.

Half had leaking brake calipers and almost no brake fluid in the master cylinders. The other half had their steering linkage about to fall apart, and or major fluid leaks from the fuel tanks to the oil pan.

I put together a one page report for each truck & turned it in to a full RTA colonel, who smiled & said thanks.

A week later they had the UN inspectors there, who saw the nice new white paint jobs, new seats in them and new tires on them.

They looked pretty good from the outside.

Every one of them was a rolling death-trap.

It did not say Government Person. They were more referring to a Mafia type of person, I believe.

Anyway, thanks for the back and forth.

We agree to disagree.

Cheers.

Cheers Mate.

I fail to see your point though, whether it be mafia or government (which are one and the same BTW) that tossed this lady in the slammer, it's still wrong.

555 yes you are 100 % correct. Not ! If they want to say something, they talk through Facebook.

Not sure which light you got blinded by, but they've been hauling folks off to jail the last several years for any and everything said that's in the least bit disparaging about the government.

Who really knows the cause of the accident, could have been brake failure or incompetent driver.

 

Sad ending though with the deaths of 4 people including a little four year old girl whose life had only just begun. Now that brings tears to my eyes thinking about my little Thai granddaughter who is also just 4 years old.

Yeah my daughter is 11 now, but I remember when she was 4.

I'd probably go to Pattaya & do some balcony diving if had been her that was killed like that (or any other way).

Think about the Thai culture for a second. They feed about a million soi dogs each day. They won't kill a mosquito if they are in a temple. If the 70 million Thai's people thought she was innocent. They would all be supporting her; not only a few 1000 or so. It is only the Farang , because of the White husband.

She looks a lot like my wife too is one reason.

They could pass as twin sisters.

The 70 million Thai people are like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed sh&t.

If they say anything then the thugs w/ guns and badges will be banging on their door.

A lot of us grew up in the 60's-70's.and still have memories and empathy.

I know I went through a few 8-Balls in the 1980's.

Haven't touched the stuff since.

I'd feel HORRIBLE for 8-10 days after snorting.

Same with LSD. Weed just makes me want to sleep....even though I never inhaled :-)

I don't mind an occasional Valium just before a trans-Pacific flight though....Just sleep through the 15 hour flight.

Now, Viagra....That's a FUN recreational drug.

Will a day ever come when the canned excuse "brake failure" is either inadmissible or tied directly to vehicle maintenance (lack thereof) and/or driver error??  Hasn't happened yet and guessing it may never but It's time..., past time..., to remove this excuse in any highway accident investigation.   Statements made must be investigated and corroborated.

 

 

That would require logic.

Reminds me of Jim Bakker. 55555

In most countries she would have walked because of the bungling investigation. The chance of her being framed is greater han 50%. They also never tested her for use. I think this was a mistake by the defence. 

She didn't HAVE any defense.

Here's something to ponder next time you're landing at Swampy:

 

Results demonstrated that "92% of the bills were positive for cocaine with a mean amount of 28.75+/-139.07 micrograms per bill, a median of 1.37 μg per bill, and a range of 0.01-922.72 μg per bill. Heroin was detected in seven bills in amounts ranging from 0.03 to 168.5 μg per bill: 6-AM and morphine were detected in three bills; methamphetamine and amphetamine in three and one bills, respectively, and PCP was detected in two bills in amounts of 0.78 and 1.87 μg per bill. Codeine was not detected in any of the one-dollar bills analyzed".

 

(Source:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contaminated_currency)

 

Any one of us with a few $100 bills in our pocket could be next.  She had 200-250 micro-grams on her.

 

Wonder how the members of the hang-em-high, they know the rules would feel if it was their loved one?

Yep.

=================

In a study reported in Forensic Science International, A.J. Jenkins, at the Office of the Cuyahoga County Coroner (Cleveland, OH), the author reports the analysis of ten randomly collected one-dollar bills from five cities, and tested for cocaine, heroin, 6-acetylmorphine (also called "6-AM"), morphine, codeine, methamphetamine, amphetamine and phencyclidine (PCP). Bills were then immersed in acetonitrile for two hours prior to extraction and subjected to Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Results demonstrated that "92% of the bills were positive for cocaine with a mean amount of 28.75+/-139.07 micrograms per bill, a median of 1.37 μg per bill, and a range of 0.01-922.72 μg per bill. Heroin was detected in seven bills in amounts ranging from 0.03 to 168.5 μg per bill: 6-AM and morphine were detected in three bills; methamphetamine and amphetamine in three and one bills, respectively, and PCP was detected in two bills in amounts of 0.78 and 1.87 μg per bill. Codeine was not detected in any of the one-dollar bills analyzed". The study confirmed that although paper currency was most often contaminated with cocaine, other drugs of abuse may also be detected in bills.^[4]

They should have tested her for drugs in her blood; or did a swab of her hands to cocaine. Then we would know if it was planted or not ? Also search her home.

bangkok-post/20150621/282797830013543

Google it.

She REQUESTED that the cops drug test her, but they refused.

They also refused to allow her an attorney, AND did not/could not present any physical evidence in court.
