if the police say they are not pressing for prosecution and the KP people accept payment as restitution why should the case not be closed as per the way things work here ?

so far in these 3 cases they all seem to be in possession of an item that has not been paid for ( though the wallet was found in a toilet rubbish bin ).

now KP is being forced to not accept restitution to drop the accusation , so people will be parked up for a lot longer while they wait for their case to be decided.

the idea that video has been concocted after the event seems a bit far fetched - the problem with conspiracy theories like this is a lot of people have to be able to keep it secret.

thanks for your input.

how do you deal with the fact that the prosecution said they had no evidence to convict originally, but kp are now saying they have a video of the couple shoplifting.

who is the prosecution ? the police deciding whether to charge the couple and/or proceed with the case ?

er , I think I can guess how that played out after the "fine" was paid.

we need to get something more substantial out of tracert so we can see where the lag is actually happening.

even with servers not replying to ICMP packets they will still route them to the next server as the TTL is incremented and if there are not too many non replys on the path you can infer from the replies anyway.

there is also the option of an aftermarket cooler - and if you operate your comp in a non aircond enviroment in Thailand it is probably a good idea.

I think they are guilty

if the police had shown them the footage from the CCTV , why did the couple not mention this in the original newspaper article ?

so why did kp not show this footage to the police at the time if they are sure of the facts of their case. and why did the police and kp at the time decide not to prosecute through lack of evidence when now they seem to have it. no english court would accept this at this stage.

nothing has been said yet that indicates to me that the police did not have this footage and if they had it I would have expected the couple to have been shown it. As for what happened after that was just standard for the system here - though without electric shocks to the genitals

Having pulled off such a healthy snatch, why would he then dispose of the wallet in the toilet bin?

which indicates you have not read the statement by KP.

they had been located by the KP staff and probably saw themselves being pointed out to police so he attempted to get rid of the incriminating item - that would be my guess

11 seconds means you are being routed via a repeater at the edge of the solar system.

a tracert ( trace route ) is definitely needed

start with one just to the maxnet page and step outward from there

so tracert maxnet.com and see what is the time to their servers

then maybe try another isp in thailand

then try singapore

something is seriously wrong with your routing and you should try and pin down where the problem is so you know what you need to complain about or maybe even fix at your end

I think they are guilty

I wonder if this story made it into the press because they lied about the situation to friends at home so they could obtain the money needed to pay their way out.

If the story had been then passed on to a newspaper reporter , then the couple would have been forced to maintain the lie , hoping that it would not escalate to this with now more information coming to light and casting much doubt on their version of events.

if the police had shown them the footage from the CCTV , why did the couple not mention this in the original newspaper article ?

I looked at this video and nothing is conclusive to me,

any actual placing is out of camera view if it took place.

much CCTV footage is inconclusive and people incriminate themselves by confession after being show footage.

rules for CCTV evidence to be allowed in UK courts require quite a large percentage of the frame to comprise the person being identified.

I wonder if the UK newspaper will contact the couple for comment on the Kingpower information ?

the video shows the woman placing something she had taken from the shelf into her shoulderbag - and it also shows the man being aware of it happening , he seems to be keeping a lookout .

Put a pirate copy of Windows on the system and then do a validation check, you want to fail this check. Microsoft will give you an option to obtain a valid copy of Windows direct at a lower cost than the wholesale price in Thailand. This is the cheapest way to have a legal copy of Windows in Thailand. I will not sell any of my customers a copy of Windows as it costs much more through the dealer network than the cost to any individual. Why would I sell something that costs me more than I can receive back from the customer?

I like the way you think mate

I have one machine that has a problem with this - sometimes it works and some times it does not

I have ruled out a problem with the keyboard - but I had not thought it may be a flash issue

it is the abuse machine that all are allowed to use for the internet so I have not been too worried about it - the odd thing is ctrl t always works in VNC

I was going to install FF3.5 on it shortly anyway

"If we can help him come back and solve economic problems facing the country, it would good for the people,'' he said.

does anyone know what laws of economics , rules and regulations need to be changed/manipulated and who needs to be bribed to make this fantasy come true ?

if Apples are so darn great, why is their worldwide market share only 3.2%?

.

If you buy an Apple, you can pull chicks easier. FACT!.

is there a correlation in percentages for people with chicken fetishes then ?

sony and apple make good hardware - but I don't trust either of them

a rail and pipeline corridor from a port on the Indian Ocean to China would be of immense benefit to Thailand.

But I suspect Tony the Sri Lankan may be the only person to take the fall.

and this will be all that will happen no matter how much noise is made - although KP staff might tone down their actions for a little while.

if the sri lankan has any wisdom he will have left the country by now

Shocking how the British Embassy offered them jack sh*t in the way of help ?????

From the article:

"The Foreign Office said consular officials had offered to raise the case with the Thai authorities at the time but had been asked by the couple not to intervene."

maybe the choice was to pay up now and get back home , or have the embassy approach and then get transferred to a normal jail for a couple of weeks while it was all sorted out ?

I quick review of the video footage would clear this up .

and the Malaysian woman a few months ago who complained about being charged for shoplifting from kingpower ?

wonder how many other have been detained for shoplifting at kingpower ?

I presume by mosquito net you are talking about the window screens and not a net over your bed - or do you have the accompanying tin foil hat to sleep in also

Anyone drawing any benefit from a banned politician should surely be receiving penalties.

any banned politician should be filing appeals from a jail cell where they should be for perverting the course of Democracy

Sounds like big trouble for the PM is on the Horizon, WOW!! here we go again.

I would suspect there is a coalition upheaval in the wind and the Bhum Jai Thai party are the ones meant to be left holding the sh1tty end of the stick.

Now why do I have a funny feeling that the evidence against any Government MPs will somehow disappear, whilst that against any opposition MPs will be proven without a doubt?

because you are living in some time warp pre dating 2006 ?

if you wish to be elected to represent your constituency divest yourself of all business interests and shares - the job should not be part time.

India has just reformed its railways over a 3 year period and now turned them into a profitable enterprise for passenger and freight.

the first move was to remove corruption with an iron fist - and that would also be the first step required in fixing Thailands rail.

Thailand is also in a unique position to be able to ship chinese exports by freight train to a port on the indian ocean - if they got their act together.
