S-i-L had car stolen. Family arrested culprit. Fat officer at Dongtan refused to proceed without 10K up front. The nurse car owner continued paying a bank loan for 4 years for a car she no longer had.

Why was he there at all? I thought the elections had been and gone?

Sounds like one of those stories about the honest taxi driver returning lost stuff. After a week of testing farang urine and arresting those without passports the BIB were attempting to polish their image.

They work selectively depending on how much the police can skim from the offender.

TAT exists to provide junkets for its senior members; the ones with the best imaginations and no mathematical skills.

No. The home owner should use reasonable force to subdue the intruder not carry on kicking him to within an inch of his life.

She has to be photogenic too.

But I thought Thainess was all about family?

Except to boost TAT figures.

But the returnee druggie already knows the restaurant as he's been there at least TWICE.

Typical Thai police behaviour; they are above the law; menacing actions YET he STILL keeps his job! Banana Republic.

Blimey! Where do you shop? The only English I hear is 'No have' as the assistant can't be arsed to put their phone down. If you ask a question about the product they won't know anything.

Surely he's got enough in his pension fund by now?

He's only going 'cos he thinks Brussels = sprouts.

But not for the qualities listed below.

The BBC is a vehicle for wokism. You get a mention if you are female and/or have an exotic non-British sounding name.

Or the vicious homeowner has 'friends' in high places. How can anyone be allowed to beat someone up & not face prosecution! Banana Republic.

Not among dog owners.

Damn - Inflation!

Thank you. I'll stick with my 1,800 baht Extension of Stay.

The public spirited thieves should be rewarded for clearing up the detritus left by contractors after their work.

Thai males are hardly famous for their chivalry particularly towards women and children.

There's hardly a day in the year when a car ends up on the beach or in a ditch, mostly inadvertently.

The figures suggest 40 people a DAY die (but only if we accept figures at the scene). We get the same warnings about the SEVEN Dangerous Days at least twice a year. What is needed in Thailand to bring these horrific numbers down, is a police force.

I love a dog thread; it brings out the tree-huggers and besotted dog owners who hold themselves up for ridicule. Thailand is 60 years behind civilised countries in this respect. Not a week goes by without a story of accidents caused by strays; humans disfigured by bites; all the fuss about hygiene whilst tonnes of dog-dirt/urine are distributed in every soi in the country; rubbish strewn by scavenging strays. The do-gooders cannot see that allowing sick animals to continue in their painful existence is cruelty not kindness. The solution is obvious to anyone with an IQ of over 80 - a cull of all strays.
