Why don't you take your own advice?

Please feel free to find any example, I'll wait.

How can anyone give advice then, and, what is beyond assault? murder? Rape? any hints anyone?

One more time, the post is about the process dealing with the police after ANY complaint is made, its about the police process. Not the alleged offence. 

Besides, do you seriously think by the previous posts, any of them would be remotely qualified to comment on a specific crime? 555 

There's this Red Top reader obsession here with wallowing in sordid detail, few are intelligent enough to even understand the request made in the original post, they are just here for dirty laundry, and I'm the bad guy for pointing out they're useless opinionated <deleted>?

It sounds like your "friends" mouth started a fight that his body couldn't back up.

 

Police involvement usually ends with a 500bht fine each. But may be different depending on the video

Another one who cannot process simple English. it was NOT an assault.

We have had advice from a better source than here, and have made alternative arrangements than involving the rent seeking coppers.

You heard wrong.   Where did you "hear" it, on an anonymous forum?

At least your post is helpful.  Sour, but helpful.

A friend got involved in a mild altercation with another expat, as a result of the exchange, a retaliation occurred which was completely excessive, and resulted in a crime being committed against the aforementioned.

It is not an assault, but beyond that, the details cannot be shared, just understand there is a valid case to answer in Thai law. He has a video record of the crime and the perpetrator.

The friend didn't want the law involved, and sought to mend fences with the perp on condition they accepted wrongdoing and made things right.

But the there are two problems with this, the first is the suspect is unknown to the friend and his friends.

The second is that we both feel the perp is a thoroughly unpleasant character, and the right thing to do is to contact the BiB, as the kingdom would likely be better off without them and their casual criminal behaviourisms. 

I think this could backfire, and the BiB may do nothing at all, or ask for an ever escalating series of brown envelopes to act, with no way to back out once the wheels of justice grind on and on, also, the BiB would have to do some gumshoe work to locate this character.

I have heard that in any civil cases, the complainant is barred from leaving Thailand, and their passport seized, and monthly reports to immigration, and this is just the outcome for the person making the complaint!

The bottom line is this, has anyone pursued a criminal case in Thailand against another farang, and would you be willing to share the process?

We are not interested in the details of the crime, just the police interactions until all was resolved, thank you! 

Don't worry about it. 

If you have no psychiatric records. It never happened. 

Great post from One Zero. 

One of them even once blew up a Cathay Pacific jet in the 70s, the usual reason, his girlfriend had left him! Her daughter and everyone else died horrifically too, it was all so twisted due to scummy nationalism, and police face saving pride that his aquittal in a Thai court, resulted in jubilant crowds treating him to a rock star reception.

He died early of abdominal cancer. ????

I can just imagine this one's customary oily smirk. So ubiquitous among his corrupt and thieving class.

He's not smiling now, is he? ????

Incredible what the latest model of handheld devices can do!

Is it self-cleaning?

I am considering a condo buy central (Sukhumvit Rd Soi 13) older building with my wife a Thai citizen.

We will go 50/50 ownership but the funds will be 100% from me and transferred from overseas.

External websites outline the basics, but they're law firm sites, not property sites, and suggest it is best to all go through them. This is not usual overseas!

We will use a law firm for joint wills, but to buy?

Any help or tips to avoid disaster down the line would be welcome.

The condo is older larger style (32 year old building) we will renovate, with rare amenities -for here- such as dishwasher, and hope to attract long term professional expat tenant.

Your expert thoughts are welcome. Please consider advice on: Transfer, foreigner quotas (how to confirm building occupancy quota) Agent involvement, renovation pitfalls, succession (wills). Thank you.
