From Thai justice and Thai police investigation? I'll have to think about that one.

Sattahip police deemed one case was suicide for days until a less-than-braindead cop pondered how the victim had shot himself without a gun being found at the scene. It turned out his brother had shot him over non-payment of a debt.

Thepprasit is a no-go area; the stupid plan to stop U-turns will turn into a nightmare. Having driven several kilometres one way looking for a chance to drive back the same distance is no way to improve Pattaya's air quality.

Heaven sent; a villain called Frame saves Pattaya Plod extra typing.

More likely the latter than the former reason.

That pays for lots of police overtime. Shame they only do overtime during the 7 Dangerous Days fiasco.

Totally agree with Mr. West above. Long term ex-pats will bring in many more $$$ than tourists. Instead Immigration treat us like dirt. Just got the hang of 90 day reporting on-line then they introduce another visit to check you still have 800K in the bank some months after you buy your retirement 'visa'. Surely this can be checked the next time you renew your annual 'visa'. No have; no get.

This same story has been running all week. Typical Thai reaction; lots of noise, very little progress.

Is the booster fatigue endemic to hospitals? I'd like one but can't see any sign in the Pattaya area.

Agreed - even using down to Chapter Headings. The main difference is Tarantino's films are mostly an hour too long.

More sterling work by Pattaya Plod who rely on the public to do their job.

Eradicating the opposition.

There is NO police activity unless it brings in baht. Forget law enforcement; serving and protecting on the roads, Pattaya Plod is the least effective force in the land.

Wow! Never thought I'd see a rich Thai fall foul of Thai Law.

Prawit banked 5 million every year for the 1st 5 years of his reign despite being on an annual stipend of under 1 million before they passed a law that did not force them to declare their assets.

I wouldn't give him any job as a caretaker. He has cared little for the people in the last 8 years.

I was the abused 15 year old and have vivid bad memories of being spat at, manhandled and having oranges smeared in my hair by a group of men in their 30s. I was separated from my friends; effectively imprisoned by being surrounded. Despite my tears and obvious distress nobody in the crowd saw anything untoward about the yobs' behaviour. My ordeal lasted almost an hour. The incident has seared in my memory a hatred of all things Evertonian for 65 years.

How are the Mighty Fallen! A one joke series!

That is something Thais never think about.

Parents? Police? All culpable. Am I right that roughly 40 (young) people a DAY are killed on Thai roads?

That'll cost her.

Who paid for this particular junket? Did they fly Thai Air?

Didn't they find millions in his office? Or is that another official found taking bribes; I get them all jumbled up.

Could it have anything to do with Thailand's normal carcinogenic air?
