years and years ago in Pattaya after my home was broken into, I was told by the police to get a gun One policeman offered to sell me his gun for 6,000baht I declined. However, he told me it was permissible to shoot an intruder, but if it happened, to say that the wife shot him and not me!!!!!!!!!

The would be MAN thief deserved what HE got. I would have punched and kicked HIM lower down!

Of course they think like a Thai man. They ARE Men!!!!!!!!!!!!

With half the young girls from my village "working" in Pattaya, it would be one of the most dangerous places to go for a few days fun!

Si Racha best🤣

A fair trade when she wants to go and spend a week in a Wat with all the Monks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe the time has now come for police to be armed. Crime has increased dramatically over recent years. However, this should be combined with harsher and mandatory penalties/punishments for those that commit criminal offences. Current penalties do not deter. Those carrying guns, knives and other deadly weapons in public, (unless authorised) should serve a minimum 10 year prison sentence (And that should mean 10 years, no time off for this and that). Anyone using a gun or other deadly weapon, whether to harm, kill or just threaten others should receive an automatic death sentence. That of course requires the reintroduction of the death penalty, which hopefully will be by referendum sooner rather than later. Lets not just stop with the UK. Much harsher penalties needed nowadays here in Thailand! For the record, I was threatened with a gun by a crazed Thai man who rented property close to my house some 30 years ago. He thought I had killed his chickens. Thai police did nothing other than instruct the property owner to evict him and his chickens. Heard he got run over and killed by a bus a week later in Bangkok! Justice served!

Mozilla Firefox is going from bad to worse. Chrome shows the video.

Where's the video everyone mentions?

This is a case where the less than popular Prime Minister could boost his standing by entering the fray and demanding a full and proper sentence for the cop who ordered the killing. No reason why someone higher up could not indicate his extreme displeasure with the sentence.

He orders a killing, it is carried out and he gets just 2 years!!!!!!!!!!! Sickening. He should receive a death sentence!

That make me a "local peasant"🤣

Go to Kasikorn!

Ms C had probably gone for short-time 😀

Just carrying a gun in public warrants a 10 year stretch in prison. Firing it or using it to threaten anyone warrants DEATH. Time to get strong with all the yobs. Advertise the penalties widely and carrry them out!

Time to knock the building down and incarcerate all gamblers and those involved for a long period of time.

There is.......Hefty fine for motorbike driver and take away his licence for 1 month. He and his mates would soon learn to respect Thai law

Exactly that happened to me in my village yesterday I blasted them with the car horn. They just looked with the inevitible smile!

Adequate maybe, but it will need to be translated, and likely certified by ones Bangkok based Embassy, at exhorbitant cost, plus the inconvenience for many of travelling hundreds of kilometres to get it certified!!!!!!!!

Back in 1987, my wife was not permitted to buy land as she was married to me. We had her father "buy" the land, and it was mortgaged to me for security, to prevent the family selling without my knowledge. Similarly at that time, our 2 year old daughter who was born in the UK, was not allowed to have Thai citizenship, as she was born outside Thailand. She had Permanent Residency, like me, and it was not until she was 17, that she was given Thai citizenship.

That is correct. I too hold PR. However whilst one cannot inherit land, a condo is different, as the land is effectively leased, But if the foreign ownership of the entire condo is full, one may not be able to transfer ownership after death of the Thai owner.

CORRECT.

More than likely if it becomes law, it will allow entry for 30 days. Any more time would need a visa

Not before serving time in harsh Thai jail conditions

I have repeatedly said, that possession of a firearm in public (unless authorised- ie police etc) should carry a minimum 10 year prison sentence, whilst the use of a firearm to either threaten or fire, regardless of the result, warrants the ultimate penalty!
