I think the same way; I see them with masks on riding a motorcycle with no helmet.....hmmmm.

55555, was there any doubt about this?! I think not; only surprise was he got a year!

5555555555, that's funny! Been here 30+ years and it's never been completed--like a non-Thai person would consider completed. It just goes thru it's different phases of corruption.........ooops, I mean renovation.

55555555555..... Thats funny!

Just put them to death, someone who commits a crime like this will never be reformed......and deserves to die.

I bet his fellow prisoner friends that are still in prison are experiencing a LOT more fatigue and stress than Thaksin.

The Robin Williams phrase comes to mind, "God gave men a brain and a dick, but only enough blood to run one at a time." I've seen many guys come to Thailand and do things here that they would'nt even think of doing in their home country. I think the above phrase plays a part in their decisions.

Sure wish I owned the brown envelope company that supplies Thaksin!

No, AI is going to be the demise of the human race.

What a joke! I can't believe they think any one with half a brain would believe any of this crap they're spouting out! If you've lived in Thailand more than a few years you realize what's going on.........it's all about the power and money!

55555, was there any doubt something like this would happen?! My wife mentioned this a few days ago when I told her he was facing 8 years in jail. Amazing Thailand!

Correct! The ol', "Not my business" comes into play. They don't think about if THEY'RE the ones needing help and no one shows up.

Because she owns two restaurants--or her family does. When the police will arrerst a farang for just walking behind the counter of a bar he owns it's probably justified to investigate whether she works in Thailand or not.

I thought about this also. If it had been a different nationality of farang the investigation would already be done, but seeing how she's a rich chinese--the master race that Thais bow down too (sarcasm), we haven't heard anything about that. Maybe the brown envelopes glossed over checking on that.

Chinese, chinese, chinese....I'm sick of hearing about the Chinese! Just get it over with; bow down and roll over to your Chinese overlords.

Thailand has never been colonized, be careful, Tibet comes to mind.

RIP So sad to hear this sort of crime, especially with a young girl that had the rest of her life ahead of her. I applaud you for trying to adopt her, just too bad about the timing. I hope you can get some closure and move on with your life, reading your message it seems you that you did the best you could for her.

I don't see the "pose policing challenges", do your job and arrest them and deport if necessary. What's the challenge here?

If the shoe was on the other foot, would you want her having a few--or many guys, on the side? Just sayin'.....

Thanks, that seems to happen a LOT on this forum.

My thinking is; how many people on retirement extensions are involved.in criminal activity? Yes, supposedly the bikers were but pretty sure this is an isolated incident. In my 30 years here I've seen more issues with people on tourist visas than retirement extensions. Maybe Joke is just using the bikers as an excuse to increase the fees.

I read on another thread about Big Joke thinking of increasing the 800k baht requirement for retirement extension. I can't find any firm articles about it, has anybody heard anything about this? And no, I'm not trolling.

Just found out 2/08/2023 @1800 it was done for "content". This kind of crap has got to stop! Throw them all in jail to send a message, then deport them forever!

Or Burmese......

The people's vote, down the crapper, done in by the military; set up by Prayuth many years ago. Generally speaking Thais don't think about the future much, but Prayuth and his cronies sure did back then!
