Thailand gets ready for return of Chinese tourism
smedly replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
tour them in - lead them around - rip them off -
you understand that in solving murder a motive is usually established first, in Thailand especially involving farangs that is usually were someone has something to gain and is almost always financial - I connected a very recent trip home to the possibility that he brought cash back with him which could very well be at his home and is also untraceable since it is not in a bank account, I know people that do this when visiting their home, the only person that knows about this cash is the deceased and very likely his live in Thai partner. financial gain is a good place to start when looking for motive but very difficult to uncover were a wad of cash is concerned, his home bank might show a large withdrawal before returning to Thailand, this would indicate he had cash at his home, would Thai cops look at this - I'm not sure. alternative to this would be a business disput (again financial) or mistaken identity, there's not much else that fits

can you not read, you obviously have no clue - like I said in my post - who benefits financially from his death - it's called motive and in Thailand when farangs are murdered it is almost always a financial motive - someone gains alot of money and thinks they will get away with it - cash that nobody knows about (not banked)

i agree, but making an effort to catch them 365 days a would be a good start, the police have no interest in doing so it seems so it will continue
-
IMO this could be the expected result in 6 day period throughout the year if police actually made an effort to catch them, in fact it could be even higher than this since some of the regulars may have considered a higher chance of getting caught so didn't - and yes - Thailand has a serious drink driving problem, part of the reason it not addressed is because those tasked to address it are some of the worst offenders

Drunk drivers in Thailand may face stiffer penalties
smedly replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
the problem is not penalties it is lack of effort by police on detection, penalties are almost useless if a drunk driver believes the chances of getting caught are next to zero unless of course they have an accident but it's too late then and of course then we have a drunk driver that flees the scene of an accident - the other issue, penalties for leaving the scene should be just as severe as drunk driving itself
