My opinion: I am concerned with this trend of reporting the bad behaviour of foreigners... for sure their behaviour is terrible and they should be held accountable, but not in the 'kangaroo court' of online press. How does this media trend help anyone, who stands to benefit? Actually it is just sensationalism, irresponsible journalism and intended only to increase views. The end result is more hatred towards each other and only makes the problem worse. @ASEAN NOW can you rethink your intentions and consider being more socially responsible in the future before publishing? 

Your 4th post and already you are trying to run the show!

I thought the story was newsworthy, "entitled British slapper gets her just rewards." The guard let her get away with the first slap but not the second slap!

Would not slithered in be more appropriate than crept in?

50baht less for Tuk Tuk if he stops at Tailor shop. I wonder what, certainly more than fifty baht, the kickback is to the Tuk Tuk if customer buys a suit.

Wherever you are, you posted in the wrong thread!!

the kids today are young and dumb not surprising since they live on their phones.  but mommy and daddy are no doubt enroute to LOS with a big bag of money

Kids??? 36 and 38 are hardly kids!

Personally I really hope they are prosecuted to the full extent of the law! If not then every Tom, Dick and Harry will think it is ok to disregard a lawful order by the police!

Are you all done with the Kiwi bashing? Last week it was the Swiss and Americans. We have only seen part of a video, which shows a foreigner restraining a Thai police officer with a headlock. We also see his friend dropping the magazine from the gun and clearing it. The question remains did the police office have the weapon drawn at the time, or was it removed from his holster?

 Nobody in their right mind attacks a police officer for no reason!! On top of the severe loss of face for the copper, he needs to be drug tested.

These two Kiwis are not what they seem and it's obvious to most with some intelligence that they are attached to law inforcement or the military.

Either way in Thailand the Police are god, and which ever way this turns out, there is going to be severe consequences.

Had this happened in the US Trump would demand the death penalty in order to secure three more votes in the next presidential election.

Brilliant observation JackGats! Unbelievable the lengths people suffering TDS will go to!

It seems the video is from a camera which is installed in the car.

What does it show before the motorcycle rider gets upset?

Probably there is a reason why she didn't publish that part of the video.

She could only start using her phone after the accident had occurred!

What an entitled <deleted>!

I was in a bar on Soi 4 opposite Hooters to meet a lady friend and was sitting at a table facing the street, at the table next to me was a farang gentleman with several girls around him (up to five girls at times including the cleaner), he was obviously a regular and I found out later that he had just returned to Thailand after visiting his home country.

He left the bar with company (1 lady) after I had been there 2 hours.

I asked my lady friend what his bar bill was and was shocked to hear it was over 30k THB!!

Lady drinks at this bar are 190 THB and I was sitting with 3 ladies, my bar bill after 3 hours was 2,600.

Point being, lady drinks can add up quickly if you are entertaining multiple ladies!

Has he committed any crime in Thailand?

He may been convicted in Australia? He may be on the wanted list but has he been convicted?

Perhaps we have judicial trials for reasons to ascertain guilt, rather just incarcerating others on accusations

 

 

Did you miss the part of the story where he entered Thailand on someone else's passport?

Lived 3 years in Sathorn 96-98, Returned to Thailand in 07 and lived here since. Was in On Nut for a year than moved to Bangna, love it out here! rent 10k nice apartment with great pool and grounds, heaps of food places and a market next door 3 nights a week. 5 711's, 3 japanese restaurants, 1, 24 hour bar and several normal bars within 800 M

Had this warehouse been fitted with an ECSPD device the fire would not have occurred. This device, invented in South Korea, during the Pandemic, is available in Thailand from CDW Global.

I hope the guy makes a full recovery, despite riding a Moto with no protective gear!

Can anyone offer suggestions as to how to satisfy the requirement for COVID 19 insurance to the value of US$100K?

A Chinese tourist????? When were the borders re-opened???

Meanwhile, a 68-year-old female who had end-stage renal disease, diabetes and hypertension died of respiratory failure at Chumphon hospital. She had been in close contact with a previous patient and was confirmed to be infected with Covid-19 on April 14. She died of septicemia, which causes acute myocardial infarction, on May 24.

And another one goes down as a Covid 19 death when clearly she would have died of her comorbidity anyway!

I currently have 5 containers accruing charges of US$240/day storage charge since 25 March and unlikely to ship before 25 April! Just over US$7,000 loss through no fault of my own!

Absolutely ridiculous measure! If alcohol sales are to be banned it should be a country wide ban! People in this province will now travel to nearby provinces to purchase their alcohol thereby increasing the risk of spreading the virus!!
