Good putting people accused of non violent crimes in with those who are violent.  Thailand never ceases to amaze.   

"In Pattaya alone, seven Chinese nationals were arrested for allegedly operating an online casino and were sentenced to two years behind bars by the Pattaya Provincial Court."

 

That was a quick turnaround time for a trial and conviction. Maybe should have some other cases transferred to this jurisdiction. 

If in Pattaya alone 9 Chinese were arrested,how many in total were arrested elsewhere ?

Gamblers and recreational drug users! What a waste of time and effort.

What is an "Aplogie"?

 

Don't be thick. It's the filling in an Aplogie tart. Delicious served with lashings of cristard or  custurd if you prefer.

It is a well known form of typo, caused by fat fingers and small telephone keypads.

Also known as illiteracy. 

Or making a good effort to write in a foreign language. 

Some of you people with nothing better to do than pick someone's spelling apart should get a life.

Can we move on from this little spelling mistake please,  from the forum rules:

So ,I suppose the Police can take the rest of the year off,they must be very

tired working 18 days in a row.let crime build up for a few months,then have

another crackdown.

First the police takes their share of the revenues during 347 days per year and then they clean up their own sha_it (no typo)
