cyberfarang Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 The victim claims she was in her Soi Bongkot apartment when Ratchanon and his two accomplices broke in and planted drugs. She said the Nongprue officer then told her she would be arrested if she did not pay him an unspecified amount of cash. So they just choose the woman at random, who was unknown and a complete stranger to them, broke into her apartment and decided to extort her? More to this story I think.

jerry921 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 So if I move to Thailand, what's to stop the police from doing this to me because I'm a farang with money? Is anyone really safe in Thailand anymore? How can anyone sink their savings into a condo and risk having it taken away due to offending the wrong person or just because somebody else is greedy? The only good news here is they did arrest the crooked cop, but if the poor woman hadn't been raped, would there have been any way to disprove the drugs charge and prevent her from being put away for years? I'm assuming the rape left some evidence and that is why the crooked cop wasn't just believed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. I hope they announce in advance so farangs get some time to pack bags & leave before forced to do so. Because that'd be one of the first things a bona fide dictator would do, a proper purge. Cops would probably get to stay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover, half the "farangs" would also be equally busy denouncing the other half to the gov't. Edited February 17, 2018 by Odysseus123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 It is the Thai cop mentality that they think they are above the law. I will be staggered if true justice is served and the perps do real time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more or less the same advice as "Just keep your head down", which is what one turkey said to another at the turkey farm two months before Thanksgiving.

They count on it and exploit the fact on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
