Gaslighting....  but yes...     Deadly serious...  

 

If I ever find myself in a situation which has escalated to the point at which I am fearful for my life... then it would be foolish not to take defensive action. 

Of course, avoid escalation in the first place... and thats where the NZ guys were foolish. 

But, once the situation had escalated to the point a 'gun became involved'... then any decision made from there can have grave consequences.

 

Thus: I can see a scenario whereby the Police officer was so visibly angered by the actions of the NZ Guys that he lost his cool and in a state of meltdown drew his weapon - in such a scenario, its better that the NZ saved their own lives than get shot at.

- maybe the reasons NZ guys are alive today is because they disarmed the policeman. 

 

 

There are already enough reports of those in positions of authority using their service weapons to attack others because they lack the emotional stability handle the escalating situation.

- Just one story yesterday of a Thai Military officer drawing his gun in a road rage incident.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 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.

Bingo.

 

The Chinese gangster is back and the xenophobia and anti-foreigner sentiment as well it appears. 

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?

Shake down gone wrong maybe. And, must of drawn his pistol to have it taken from him so easy. To draw a firearm on a speeding charge???

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.

that's why i think there might be more to this story... 

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 ?

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

Have you met them? You have zero clue

 

 

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

"Spirited" Seems a euphemism for unhinged hotheads.

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

"He is trying to kill us" one of the guys said in the video to the Thai couple. You can see that they were not being aggressive or looking crazy in the video. They had zero interest in using the gun themselves. Hopefully we will see all the CCTV evidence to show what actually happened.  Either way, I bet they will never return to Thailand again.

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?

Or fly to Cambodia and do a land entry

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.

I've always had "top of the range cars" in NZ, but when I came here I didn't think it was necessary what with all of the crazy drivers and potholes around, so I bought a second-hand car (private sale) for my own use pottering around the place.

 

A friend of mine came over from Oz and we went down to Rawai to have a look around and got stuck in a traffic jam on the way back and my friend noticed I was keeping an eye on the temperature gauge, and when I explained that it had overheated in the past, his answer was pretty straightforward – – – "look mate, you've always had good cars in the past, so why are you running around in this heap. Buy a new one and it will probably see you off this mortal coil, and you won't have any worries about breakdowns etc".

 

So I went out and bought a new Suzuki Swift in 2012 and it has been a great little car and very reliable, and the Suzuki service garage here is excellent.

 

So I will echo what others have said and encourage you to look at buying a new car. Also look at buying a car which has a service centre/garage near your home.

 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?

Have it checked out at a reputable, company,  ask for a complete safety check,  Tyreplus found worn rear hub bearings on a car I had, and that was just on an annual check, the main thing IMO is low mileage, not the year.

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?

Is it the first time in your life that you buy a car?🙏

Yes. But I have a six years driving experience (driving rental cars and also my former gf’s car).

Maybe we are lacking some details from the OP. He did say 'I will be leaving Thailand'.  Will that be for a month, for 5 years, forever?  I got the impression not for a short break. He needs to way up the risk reward of the counterparty risk compared with mismanaging his keys. Personally speaking it is a no brainer, but I get it that not everyone is the same. Crypto for many still isn't seen as super user friendly but self custody is the holy grail for me. 

 

Yes you are correct, you are well and truly stuffed if you forget how to access a cold storage wallet.......so don't. The way I look at that is you can also kill yourself if you drink and drive, so don't. There are ways to safeguard your seed phrases such as a cryptosteel and/or storing the seed in several different secure places etc. Like everything in life there are pros and cons but getting his coins off Bitkub and under his own control is the solution and priority in my view. I'm also not sure if they would still allow you to withdraw your cash and crypto well past a KYC expiry. Knowing how they operate they are a difficult enough company to deal with at the best of times and your account is approved, let alone with expired visas and no longer living here. Same with regards his Thai bank, I hear so many reports that operating them from overseas can also result in access suspension. Why take the risk would be the best safeguards he is looking for. 

What Crypto currency do you keep in your cold storage? Are you a crypto-gambler who is ok with 20-30% monthly swings in value?

In case my BitKub account gets suspended. Will I be able to withdrawal money in Thai Bank account. Can I still withdrawal my crypto.

 

What happens when your account is suspended.

 

 

If your account gets suspended - it will be up to Bitcub management to decide what to do with your funds. They may confiscate it for some reason or they may decide to send it to your bank account. Nobody can know this for sure.

Best shortcut: become a THAI ladyboy. Become part of the THAI ladyboys's community. After all, they and you have a lot in common: you are people who don't want to be what they were naturally born. It is all about changing into something else. Good luck with your new friends!
