Aptly named location.

I sincerely hope the CCTV was working and these people are found quickly and very severely punished. That is a truly horrific thing to do to someone. I am not going to suggest that anywhere in the world is perfect, but the number of extremely violent incidents here seems to be increasing alarmingly.

I suspect it's the number of smartphone cameras that's increasing. 

 

A few years ago, we'd have probably been oblivious to incidents like this.

The best way to deal with these thugs if they are caught is to do the same to them. Give them a beating and then set them alight. Why not.

So are they policemen's sons, soldiers, technical college students, or Burmese laborers?

Because that is not a possible punishment according to Thai law.

If we stop following the law, we are no better than them.

So that's what it was. I heard it but I didn't see it. I live close by.

Throwing Gas bottle bombs 500 baht fine

Throwing a cigarette butt on the beach, 100,000 baht fine

I know, I know, this has been neaten to death but I couldn't help myself at a little absurdity today
