May I remind you of the "lingua franca" of not only this forum, but of the civilised world!

Obviously not a monarchist 🙄

your friend you say? 

Yes it was and she actually moved in with him. Had a beautiful daughter, but sadly a large amount owing on her credit card. I think she made it to the six month mark, before he was single again.

So much for Law and Order.

 

If the legal system is inconvenient, it can be dispensed with, at least for rich white men.

 

For poor black men, a knee on the throat is okay, if they are accused of selling cigarettes illegally, or passing a counterfeit $20 bill.

Sounds like Thailand!

A mate of mine went into a large appliance store to buy a new washing machine. He walked out with a new machine also the sales lady!

How can someone have the nationality of "British", then?

Being British just means that he was a native of England as opposed to being Welsh and being a native of Wales. All are issued with a British passport.

I knew a chap once that had flown under the radar for over 25 years. It wasn't until he was seriously ill in hospital that the <deleted> hit the fan. He had just decided to drop out.

Health and beauty magazines every schoolboys mandatory oggling and of course Barretts sherbet fountains at a penny halfpenny.

Nor am I thank goodness 😛

Last extraction at the Chhiangmai dental clinic cost me the princely sum of 600 baht!

Maybe you can enlighten us as to the "true facts".

Explain why its anything more than 2 guys flee police, police catch them, they then assault police and take police gun.

Are there further facts being withheld ?

No I don't know the facts and neither do you. Until they are known, it's all conjecture!!

Glad to see that he has the convicted drug smuggler in his entourage!

"The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age revealed he spent four years in a Sydney jail in the 1990s for his role in trafficking 3.2 kilograms of heroin into Australia".

Can you imagine a Bangkok street circuit? 🙄

Not in my experience. Out of the last ten trips to Lao I’d had the cops try to shake me down for money many times. 
 

1-Driving with my headlights on at 5 pm. 
2- My tire touching the line before the crosswalk although three other Lao vehicles were all over the line. 
3-Not turning right at a stop light

4-Illegal parking, where there were Lao cars behind and in front of me in the same zone.  
5- Speeding while driving the same speed as Lao cars that weren’t stopped. 
 

If you’re a farang in Lao with Thai plates, just ask “how much?” when you’re stopped. 

Can I help it if you look like a drug dealer. There must be a reason why you are singled out and not me!

Any car with a Thai number plate will be stopped by Laos police and have to pay a bribe, almost standard

Utter rubbish! Never happened to me on the many trips I have driven into Vientienne from Udon, and never heard of it happening to others?  Where did you come by this little gem?

The Chiangmai-Mae- Hong Son road is one of the most challenging roads in Thailand, and needs complete concentration all the way!!
