Online debate erupts after woman recounts unsettling experience with app-ordered taxi
Out of the frying pan! When did he return? They didn't. Australia generally has an honest police force and they don't have to be bribed to do their job.

14-year-old boy commits suicide after attacking his grandfather with a knife
But whenever I compare Singapore with Thailand I always get comments that Singapore is sooo boring, with everyone behaving and obeying the law. Thailand's anarchy and total disregard (and enforcement) of the law is so much more appeaing to them.

Online debate erupts after woman recounts unsettling experience with app-ordered taxi
Why not share it with the police and do some good? Maybe she can't afford the RTP 'motivation fee'. When my friend's house was robbed and his SUV was taken the fee to get them to do their job was 100,000 baht. He didn't pay and soon after left this cesspit to return to Australia, with his Thai wife only too happen to leave with him.

Pattaya Police Pledge to be an Organization the Public Can Trust
Not the Thai way though, is it. Thai culture regards respect as a right, no matter whether the person in question is an abuser (read school teacher) or involved in corrupt practises (read everyone else).

Thai cyanide serial killer loses baby in prison, lawyer plans legal action
Just doing his job. I've often wondered how lawyers can defend someone who is obviously guilty, Strange way to earn a living, and completely without morals.

Former military officer accused of assaulting beer promoter in Nakhon Sawan restaurant
At least she didn't experience what a security guard suffered some years ago on Rama 4 Road in Bangkok. A military man double-parked outside a building, the security man said he couldn't do that, so the military man shot him.

School girl overdoses after allegedly being bullied by classmates
It's what people do. They appear to be born with the desire to inflict cruelty upon others as school bullying is rife in any country. They are too young to have learned it from adults. Humans instinctively hate other humans but most, fortunately grow out of it. Those who don't find any excuse for their aggressive behaviour, whether it is racism or religion or anything else they can find. Most are not like that, but they aren't the problem. The problem is those who are. We're a very primitive species.

Taiwan’s representative in Thailand resigns over sexual harassment allegation
Another sign that the world has gone PC mad. He touched her hand and that is sexual harassment? And invited her to his room to discuss his itinerary. No doubt a very nice room for someone of his stature, with a business seating area. Wasn't long ago in the UK that a woman accused an office colleague of smiling at her without permission as part of her harassment case against him.

Abuse scandal puts Thailand’s treatment of children under spotlight
It's a direct result of the rigid class system that exists in Thailand, something my native UK managed to largely eradicate around 100 years ago. It's why so many in a uniform or position of 'power' make life as difficult as possible for those they deal with, as the uniform gives them the imagined freedom to do whatever they want and to kick back against their otherwise lowly position on the social ladder. The abused becomes the abuser. It's a way of fighting back against the system. And because every Thai from a very young age is taught their place on the social rung, and everyone is looked down upon by someone, frustration and resentment builds and builds, and suddenly they 'do a Popeye' - That's all I can takes, I can't takes no more - and they reach for the can of spinach. Or, in Thailand, the nearest gun or machete. Thai society is like a volcano about to explode, and it doesn't take much to send some over the edge and commit violence, even kill, over the smallest thing.

But if you bothered to read the link..... After an unsuccessful negotiation with the suspect police officers had to charge the man and make him wear pants before transporting him to the Pattaya station.

Naked British Man Goes Berserk in Pattaya Hotel
And far more common in Thailand than, say, Singapore or Malaysia. Thailand has long attracted the bottom of the barrel. Many reasons for that.

Thai Karaoke bar owner arrested for trafficking and exploitation of minors
I just Googled the definition: to deal or trade in something illegal. Okay. but offering a girl for sex in a cafe isn't the generally accepted definition is it, which is transporting people across borders illegally. Using it in a case like this trivializes the offence of real trafficking.

Thai Karaoke bar owner arrested for trafficking and exploitation of minors
Providing under-age girls for sex isn't trafficking. It's providing under-age girls for sex.
