What kind of a man does something like this, who could prey on a young little girl? Yikes, hopefully he gets caught and locked up for a long time where the other inmates will treat him with very special care.

 

And while they're at it they should lock up the aunt for child endangerment. 

1000% deserves to be topped!

In my village just outside Prakhonchai, Buriram province, most of the locals speak Khmer between each other. The only time I hear Thai spoken is when a local wants to borrow money from me. I tell them -in Thai - that I do not understand!😀

When my wife and I have been to Siem reap , her speaking the Khmer language has enabled her to enter attractions for the Cambodian price.

#1) 'Sometimes' a driving licence may be accepted for domestic flight travel (there are reports of posters doing this) - though experience with this varies (there is no certainty or definite yes / no answer)

 

#2) A Pink ID card will be accepted for domestic travel (I've done this) - but if you don't have a Pink ID then its a hassle to get one and you'll need your passport anyway to obtain one.

 

#3) When you apply for a replacement passport, one would usually hold on to their existing passport until their replacement passport is available...

... and then the corner is clipped off the old passport when you are issued with your new passport - thus its highly unlikely you'll be without a passport unless your embassy does things differently.

 

 

3rd point negates the issue.

A pink card s only valid in the province in which it's issued. largely depends where the airport is. Air Asia refused my card!

Yeah, it´s interesting how many different name we make up, just to make it sound less harsh and to normalize things that ain´t.

 

That best one that amazes me all the time are westerners view of girls who sell their bodies. In their home country, they would call them a hooker, but here they say they married a bar girl, just to make it sound more nice and comfortable. Talking straight: They married a hooker!

and a bar cashier to boot!

IMO should be for whole Life, depending on the circumstances let them suffer in jail, death is an easy way out.

Unfortunately as we all know, whole life is never that. The scum would probably be out living a normal life again in just a few years with parole and "pardons"!  Also think of the taxpayer money to keep hm for life. A bullet is cheaper!

This country has gone bonkers with the amount of guns here, illigal and legal.

 Time to stop this 50% reduction for a crime when you plead guilty, especially for murder.

Out in 10 yrs is not good enough time to make the population sit up and take notice, and a minimum sentence of two years for any one that breaks the gun laws. even if they don't fire them.

Murder, for whatever reason, and regardless whether one admits it, warrants DEATH!

     I am against the death penalty because: 1.  I value life and the death penalty devalues it.  And, 2.  There have been cases of people sentenced to death being found innocent.  Yes, these cases are rare but even just one rules out having the death penalty, in my opinion.  I prefer life in prison without the possibility of parole.

"I value life and the death penalty devalues it."    What utter nonsense. I am sure most of us value life, but when ones life is deliberately removed by a murderer, the murderers life warrants being devalued.........wiped out in its entirety!"...............subject to the normal safeguards

It is unfortunate that the New Testament is silent on this point. On the other hand, the Old Testament is all for it. And islam loves nothing more than inflicting it. Choose your poison.

SOD ALL to do with any religion! 

Murder is murder and all murderers should die along with their victims. No excuses. No diminished responsibility. All murderers clearly have diminished responsibility  and a few if not a lot of loose screws!

Not just murderers, but rapists. drug pushers, terrorists and many others.

HOWEVER, capital punishment should only be applied, where there is 100% total proof of guilt. When not, LIFE Imprisonment...meaning life, not a reduced spell behind bars and parole in next to no time. And hard labour to boot!

Bail............how very convenient. They have money enough to buy themselves refuge anywhere outside Thailand.  Perhaps bump into them on my overseas travels

Depends where you live. I live in Isaan and have never been impressed with local hospitals. I Have had stents and a defibrillator fitted, and can thoroughly recommend Quen Sirikit Hospital in Khon Kaen.

Don't go telling the hospital what you want. Let them check you and decide what if any scans you need.

Whatever the reasons, one person is dead and the murderer should die too. 

All murderers deserve the death penalty.

More hangings are needed in Thailand, In my opinion, anyway.

should not be limited to Thailand.  A death sentence is warranted for murder, rape. kiddy fiddling, drug smuggling and terrorism, and no doubt other serious crimes
