do you know that for a fact?
I didn't say that I knew that he was doing something as patently ridiculous as raising a lion in the passenger seat of a car as a fact, did I? Having said that, I think it probably is a fact that he isn't doing that, in fact I'd go as far as to say that it is a fact but you can prove me wrong if you like and I'll take it back, just for you.
I very much doubt that the passenger seat of a convertible car is considered a restricted area
I very much doubt that the lion was being raised in the passenger seat of the car.
Authorisation from whom?
I don't know specifically but...
"It is possible to keep a white lion as a pet in Thailand, but the owner must obtain the necessary permits for ownership, Dr. Pairot said, adding a lion should also be raised in a restricted area to prevent it from causing harm to people".

"Maybe it's time to ask Mr. Kirk a few questions".
Why? If questions needed to be answered it's doubtful that he would have gone to the police. It was only some rings and a watch and a bit of cash, nothing unusual in owning those and perhaps not wanting to wear them at the time he left the bike.
What did the embassy tell him when he asked them about visas for his children? Do you think that any answer found here will carry more weight than, or override, the embassy's requirement?
Huh? 11 million visitors to Thailand in 2022, well over 20 million so far this year...that looks like a substantial increase year-on-year, not a reduction.
The RTP are doing the job that they are paid to do, the government does not provide the police stations with enough budget, patrol vehicles, fuel, etc., to go out and patrol, which is presumably what you want to see.
The local police administer a written agreement with both as to responsibility.
So, what makes you think that you could demand his arrest? And this has bugger-all to do with how things work in the US...god knows why you brought that up!
Why should there be any more than have already been published? He wouldn't be having photos taken detailing his stay in prison, either, if he was there.
