Should be national service at 18 unless you have a job and then specify criteria for a job so people don't play the system

Absolutely agree.

Yes. Look at the protests over the poll tax.  I think the protests that would follow trying to implement this would be on a par. 

 

Also , the idea of giving some of these reluctant recruits a loaded weapon of any description , even on a range , would likely be a recipe for mayhem.

So? Let them protest. It will be COMPULSORY anyway.

so people who buy house through company have to have 2 million baht money just to open company

Not quite. They just need to have some lawyer sign something that says there's 2 million involved.

All very smoke and mirrors, always has been but may not be as such in the future.

So if the victim (any victim) passes away (God forbid) the Thai Police are still powerless to charge the assailant?

Is that a hypothetical question?

Unfortunately, nothing can happen unless someone makes a complaint. This is the law in Thailand. 

 

Looks like these thugs will walk, and we know what happens then... they will be free to hurt and probably kill someone else in the future. 

...and pissed up mongers will be free to continue to welch on their bills for hand-shandies and rumpy-pumpy.

Is she not highlighting that to? I honestly don't think this is just to do with her phone but get your opportunist attempt at immature micky taking "Poor Zoe"

 

 

No. Today's 'always-online' muppets* with their phone glued to their hand, don't pay attention to their surroundings, and 'poor Zoe' should have brought her own bag or stopped being a cheapskate and bought a 'bag for life' at the checkout. It's not as if Waitrose suddenly stopped giving bags away.

(*with apologies to the real Muppets)

I don’t blame the Brit for reacting that way towards someone who was sexually assaulting his wife. 

Sexually assaulted who now?

The policy is easy, don't educate the people properly as they start to think and see what is going on in the country. That will become a threat to the rich and wealthy , the army and the Government and they will loose their power and grip on the people...No the people have to stay ignorant and those who stand up are putting in jail to prevent that their example will be followed. Talking about updating education will keep the people calm, but it will never happen. Living in Thailand for a long time already I haven't seen nothing new in schools..Only less foreign teachers, as they are being seen to as a threat, because they have Western ideas and could influence the kids.

Oh my goodness! Such seditious thoughts.

As for keeping calm and in lieu of education, I much prefer lao-khao.

Perhaps the OP would care to enlighten us on the nature of the "deal" proposed between the Russian and American parties ?

Reporting the Russian will mean that the RTP will be more than interested in investigating him......and all that entails !

The RTP will be waiting for their cut for facilitating bugger all. Since he got the cops involved, hopefully the American will compensate them for their "help".

It's what's called "old school" RTP.

This is your original premise.

 

 

This is your new premise.

 

The OP is asking for help not sarcasm.

My premise is UNCHANGED. It's two cheeks of the same arse.

Well knock yourself out and offer the OP some help instead of wasting bandwidth on me.

Just now, oldscool said:

 

You've changed your premise. But your new premise is equally invalid as it's based on a presumption of guilt. 

 

Nanlaewmaakgoenpai? 

No I haven't.

The OP made an error of judgement.

So have you.

Sorry, the OP cannot be "half-a-mule" just because he thought better of the deal after the deal commenced, changed his mind and decided to send the money back.

It wasn't the OP who changed his mind, as has been confirmed numerous times.

 

We can only advise on what is written, anything else is speculation, "long time already" or not.

The OP has already written that he agreed to facilitate a financial transfer between two parties he doesn't know from Adam.

I rest my case m'lud.

Whatever you do, do not hand over your passport to the police.  If this situation takes a turn for the worse, then you can only flee Thailand if you have your passport and they haven't blacklisted you from leaving Thailand, (unless you want to wade through the swamps into Cambodia...)

...I have a map if it helps.

The money that came from his account is from his retirement from the Navy, this is the reason why I don't understand money laundering?

"A money mule is someone who lets someone else use their bank account to transfer money, often keeping a little bit for themselves. If you get caught, you could get a criminal record. Don't risk your study abroad experience for quick cash. ...If someone you don't know sends you money and asks you to forward or transfer the money, you could be fueling fraud by serving as a money mule. Money mules may be recruited through an online job ad or social media post that promises easy money for little effort."
