it is better to review and amend. wherever necessary, the laws or even rules and regulations which have become obsolete.

Typical Thai Hi-So society, I'm above the Law you cannot touch me. Lock them both up, they should be set as examples that you cannot get away with it.

well summed up.

You cannot touch me,or you will be in trouble...I know someone very important

such a person should be handcuffed on the spot for obstructing the police in the course of their duty.

Obstructing a policeman in the course of doing his duty is a criminal offence - whether you are a professor (what a shameful educator) or a woman (all <deleted> and <deleted>). Doesn't the old policeman know that, and have the woman arrested as well as the drunkard driver of a brother? They caused hurt to people and want to just walk away? No way!

the coward got scared because he knew he was drunk and was worried about the consequences of drink  driving, dangerously at that, causing accidents along the way.

you meant, ineffectual an incompetent 

looks like not enforcing the law fairly but firmly.

people like this who abuse or try to abuse their position should be hit even harder. shame on the professor as being educated he should better than to try to evade the law; you offend, you own up and face the consequences. that would be role model, rather than running away like a coward.

Hard to really tell, but that house looks far from expensive to me.

good house also means a good beehive which is likely to have honey.

Someone other than the gf/wife knew that that money was there.

A small safe can be bought for 5,000-8,000 Baht, I've had a few.

even the small safe can be carted away without the need to open it at the site. better to keep cash in the ceiling or some odd place in the house, if you have to keep cash at home, which is foolish to begin with.

Cannot understand people who own or even rent a property and don’t have insurance to cover damage or theft it costs me less than 16,000 baht a year for 10 million cover and that includes all types of flooding as I live more or less on the beach

cash coverage is limited by insurance companies. use the bank, unless the money is not clean.

Sounds like inside jobbie to me, knowing they were out

would not be too surprised unless some outsider got wind of the stash they were keeping in the house.

Mmmmm a fool and his money are soon parted.

I knew a chap who told me many moons ago, putting in cctv in or around your house is not worth the 30 - 40 000Baht.

A year later his house was broken into and more than 10 Million Bahts worth of money, jewlery etc was stolen.

Now when I see him, I always mention that 40 thousand Baht instalation.

Fools.

 

this is called penny wise pound foolish.

some people fail to amaze me. you are inviting disaster by keeping such huge amounts of  cash at home. hope they heard of an institution called the bank where they could have placed the money in suspense account to be drawn down as necessary.

missed the net?

there are 10 per cent of the chinese tourists still coming. the risk of the corona virus infection is hence there. it takes only one to infect others. good thing is that screening  is still going on.

some of the properties might have gone down the right path by catering to a wider spectrum of tourists ( in terms of nationality)

rather being dependent on only a single nationality.

we were in town yesterday , was not deserted ,but not all that busy  either ,mind you so many Brits not coming because of the high baht and now the virus ,two very big spenders ,just said not coming in March , one friend who is a bar hopper not coming Baht to high ,my family not coming same thing ,a friend just gone home usually here 1 month ,stayed only two weeks ,.

please give some views about the bad publicity in pattaya - robbing and abuse by ladyboys, cruel attacks on foreigners (often by many against one) the ruthless tuk tuks and taxis (not all but certainly a fair number)

there are lessons to be learnt from any event but certain advice is time pretty valid. we have been advised not to put all the eggs in one basket. yet some hotels choose to narrow their markets to certain limited avenues, then they have now to rethink in terms of diversification - markets and thereby different clientele.

They might go DOWN (God/Buddha forbid!) as Thailand could be seen as an unsafe place to get your hair done! 

one incident will not have any effect; if the event occurs frequently, then public opinion and word of mouth can create an environment which is not suitable for tourism.

a person may carry his "licensed" arms and carry out such a killing. how to stop people from carrying their licenced arms?

public killing? not a desirable situation.

That seems to be "a bit" of a problem now. Since a certain incident, every d1ck with a gun now appears to feel entitled to use it as he sees fit.

better enforce strict arms law now.

shooting is getting one too many in thailand. better to check before it becomes more rampant.
