Hellfire

We will continue to wait indefinitely for a comprehensive explanation and genuine footage. It's been four days, yet neither the brothers nor their family have stepped forward to provide any justification for their actions. Not a single argument has surfaced to alleviate their situation. It's highly likely that the brothers will face significant time in a Thai prison. Any speculation about secret videos or undisclosed facts won't absolve them of their foolish behavior.

No, I probably don’t.

10 times more xenophobic than Thailand. Double pricing for foreigners everywhere.

This “expert” decision will change their lives forever. Being an expert in anything does not mean you have a license to turn off your brain and common sense.

Please, change your opinion on how one is supposed to behave when confronted by an armed police officer on duty. Change it until it is too late. The Thai cop deserves a reward from these imbeciles’ family. If this happened in almost any other country of the world - these two would be on their way back to NZ… in coffins.

So, if the police officer draws gun (and even shots in the air) the justifiable course of action is to attack him and disarm? Are you serious?

Was not here during Thaksin time. Is it true that the atmosphere was xenophobic in Thailand at those time? What were the signs of it?

He was a policeman on duty! He has a right to draw a firearm at any moment he considers it necessary! Did not you know it? P.S. Shake down? Give me all your money, it’s a robbery! Hehehe

I am still waiting for anybody of those “whole-picturers” to present a plausible version which could justify the Kiwis’ behavior even in the slightest. The version that the Thai cop was a serial killer who got an idea to kill 2 innocent bikers on a sunny Phuket day is definitely not one of those.

“The most idiotic tourist act in Thailand 2024” award definitely goes to New Zealand this year and its duo of 36 y.o. brothers (a.k.a “boys”). Sorry, Swiss guys, I know you did your best, but not this year. While beating the Thai women in Thailand was a very creative and brave idea, it is nothing compared to attacking the local policeman and disarming (!!!) him. That unbelievable disarming part by itself would deserve a Nobel prize in Stupidity (if one only existed).

The only one explanation I can think of: they did not know he was a policeman. Just some weirdo guy in the Thai national costume and with a gun. Don’t think the judge will buy this, though.

I am a serial sexpat looking for a wife

Happy ending robot ?

I would invite both parents to Thailand and then jail them too. Somebody should be made responsible for the upbringing of these two imbeciles.

The worst type of gambling propaganda... The chances of winning are worse than in most other types of gambling.

1.8 mln baht or 112 mln baht? Quite a difference

Thanks to God - no! Imagine what they could do to any of us. Raging maniacs!

No, it means consuming a lot of spirits, almost all the time.

I heard that in New Zealand they give an award to anybody attacking a policeman and especially to those who manage to get the policeman's weapon during the attack. Vastly different legal system!

Or they will never leave Thailand again (also a possibility).

OMG, it is becoming worse day by day. They will kick us all out one day. Who are these 2 clinical idiots? Look like adults but behave like 5 years old spoiled and very stupid children. Are those Tiktok generation’s representatives on their first visit abroad?

Better Lao border. Had an awful experience at the Cambodian border a couple of times (on both sides of the border). And I never had any police records in my life.

Well, as I wrote above, I am interested in a flashy, expensive-looking car. And these, as you probably know, are especially expensive in Thailand. The idea of buying a car for 50k usd is quite idiotic by itself, but to buy it for 100k+ is beyond any adequacy limit (unless one is pretty rich, which I am, unfortunately, not). So a used car is my only option. I have one more question. Do foreigners get any car loans in Thailand? Are there strict requirements?

Can a car's true mileage be somehow compromised? Same question about the car's history: can a serious accident be hidden from the car's official history?
