Korat Kiwi

Ok, I can understand it was a home made gun but how did he figure out that the guy had 4 rounds or shells on him? Was the gun loaded? Luckily for the off duty cop this idiot didn't open up on him. A shotgun can be very nasty at close range. I expect one the perp was disarmed and cuffed was when the off duty cop found the shells. Nutters in every country....

35 in Korat and expected to remain so for the next 3 days. Mornings and evenings are nice tho. With overnights lows around 19. Damn I miss NZ sometimes... but not their cost of living. It's mostly why I returned to Thailand.

Very nice of the street vendor and I wonder if anything was edited from the video. Normally (Well at least from my perspective) I would have thought the backpacker would at least offer to clean up / do the dishes or offer some sort of help for the free meal. Only those that were there will know. But then maybe the immigration people will be hunting you for working without a visa... Can't win either way.

Darn the reporter was probably quoting from the fashion police, he was told to speak to the Royal Thai Police. Idiot!

Nothing wrong with the vessel nor the weather..... It was loose lips that caused it.

I thought there was a Police crack down against the Russian mafia years ago. Now it's just a crack up...

Well the macaques are already in a brown uniform, just got to get them to walk the beat and the RTP could save millions. Perhaps train them to ride bicycles and send them to Pattaya to relieve their overworked bicycle cops.

At least they weren't wearing hi viz pink tops and skin tight lycra bottoms... then the thick set guy would not only stand out but likely burn an impression into your mind that you can't get rid of. Who dreams up these ideas? Give that man a pay rise..... Or promote him.

Back in Singapore in the late 70s the same sort of thing occurred. The Singapore police cut the bikes in half with a gas axe, then gave the forlorn drivers tickets for littering. Kids will be kids.... and only a few will learn that you can still have a good time without pissing your neighbours off.

Yep, when I was living in CM about 5 years ago the burning season wasn't the nicest. Yet they say it's down 79 percent over recent times... maybe due to 79 percent less forest to burn? Damn I love it when they try and manipulate stats without giving the whole picture. Still.... I think CM is a good place to be.

You can't teach stupid!

Yes and they are going to change his name to Naughtyus Maximus.

Obviously the bar proprietor hadn't paid the right 'security' people enough money to prevent the raid. Or are they the same people?
