As he was not recognisable as a police officer. according to the attacker, perhaps he wasn't armed at the time?

The attacker seemed to know?

Seemed to know what?   

The OP reported that he said he did not know the victim, who is a traffic control officer with the Expressway 1 Traffic Control Center, was a police office.  Apivat has stated that he didn't realize he was attacking a police officer at the time.

No mention of the officer pulling his handgun. He should have drawn as soon as the atmosphere changed. 

 

Either way, I hope he recovers from his injuries.

As he was not recognisable as a police officer. according to the attacker, being an Expressway Traffic Control officer perhaps he wasn't armed at the time or on duty?

you guys really need to sort out this stock pic fiasco that is currently underway.

You and you ilk really need to stop this fiasco going on about something so irrelevant, insignificant and inconsequential.

Out of over 300k westerners alone living in Thailand - the total foreigner figure is far, far higher- they generously grant about 100 citizenship a year.  

How many thais get EU citizenship every year? Thousands. 

You don't seriously think that those 300,000 foreigners are wanting Thai citizenship do you?   How many more than the 100 per year wanted citizenship here but couldn't because of the quota?  I'm guessing that you have no idea what those stats are!

Where did you get the "thousands" statistic regarding Thais getting "EU citizenship" and which EU countries granted those "thousands of EU citizenships?   I'm guessing that you do not have that stat, either.

Do you remember Colin (poty), in a wheelchair from a hit and run outside his house, then posting about one of his neighbours hacking another to death over who was buying the next beer.

One example, based on hearsay from another poster with an anti-Thai axe to grind, makes Thais "top of the list for assaults, murder and domestic violence"?  Jesus Christ, talk about being an irrational Thai-basher.

She's a madame, could be involved in anything illegal. 

What do you mean by "madame"?  There's nothing exotic about her and she sure isn't French.

"Fake bcs"?  Huh?

No reports of it being fake gold, where did you pull that gem from?

They have never allowed the use of any debit cards.

 

That's not true. I used to be able to use my debit card years ago.

Ok, thanks.  They do not accept any physical debit cards.

Why would any country give citizenship to any Thai....when Thailand does not grant citizenship to others? 

Thailand does.

...but without evidence of that, and that has not been produced, it would also be nothing more than hearsay from someone with skin in the game.

Why would the UK want her? And she could be easily extradited right back to Thailand.

UK citizenship is not about the UK wanting the applicant, it is about the applicant wanting to be in the UK and, if a UK citizen, her extradition to Thailand would not necessarily be "easy".

Can Thailand file for her to be extradited back to Thailand?

Yes, extradition can be requested...it can also be denied.

She can certainly apply, but unless the process is a joke, I suspect she gets denied.

Not until she's been there for five years, she can't.

Do the UK police check every visa request?

They may do for UK offences in the UK, I don't know, but visa checks and citizenship application checks are two very different things and she won't be making an application for citizenship until she's been there for five years.

My maths is pretty basic, but receiving a total of 200 million baht from monthly payments of 159,000 baht maximum would take more than 104 years....

It wasn't reported that she received B200.

As others have said this story is pure bull****. Applying for UK citizenship is a long drawn out process and the applicant has to be a resident of the uk. She is probably applying for a long term visa, I suspect that BJ wants his family in a safe country before he reveals the depth and breadth of senior RTP and government officials corruption. 

"I suspect that BJ wants his family in a safe country..."

This is not about Surachate's wife.

Surely UK police checks would not allow this to move past first base. 

Is there a brown envelope culture in the UK?

Too right, there is, if you have the connections.

It appears that if you want a British or Australian citizenship you must meet certain criteria.You must be a scammer,money launder,or some other illegal activity operator to be considered.

So which "scammers, money launderers or other illegal activity operators" [sic] have received British or Australian citizenship in the recent relevant years?

What crime has he been convicted of that makes her "the wife of a crook"?

Police checks, if they do them, would show that she had no criminal  convictions so what would be the issue?

Which documents are needed to register for TrueMoney?

Go on to the app and you'll see how to do it but I seem to recall that my passport was the only document required, it was several months ago that I registered.

Yes they do. I also use my Wise plastic card to scan at the 7/11

If you say so.  Maybe they have a special arrangement with Wise but, apart from that if it is true, 7-11s in Thailand do not accept physical bank debit cards for payment.

What's the problem with that?

Wrong country, maybe?

It didn't claim that it was Thailand but it did state that it was a file photo so no reason for anyone to assume that it was.

Yes they do accept debit cards. I use my Wise card via my Apple wallet in various 7/11 in Thailand. 

Actual debit cards, which is what I was referring to (as opposed to digital alternatives such as Apple Pay) are not accepted in 7-11s.
