"Any person found guilty of committing causing bodily or mental harm will be sentenced to imprisonment of not more than one month, or a fine not exceeding B1,000, or both."

Yeah that's going to have a real effect on them..

At least they did not take their Mums to the Police Station.

Someone in authority needs to carry out a complete review of the punishments meted out for various crimes and arrive at a more sensible deterrent for the various levels.  Smoking on the beach  -  one year and/or 100,000 bahts while breaking someones nose and cheekbone  -  maximum one month and/or 1000 baht is just one comparison which makes no sense at all, but there are many many others which could be mentioned.

 

The glaring disparity between sentencing for different levels of crimes is not only absolutely unfair, but also makes a mockery of the justice system and a laughing stock of those who maintain it.

Firing illegally held guns off into the air in celebration or whilst having a hissy-fit needs a looking at too.
