Oziex1 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 A shocking incident. Don't let me down TV people come on out with it "500Bht and a wai and all is forgiven" or "a month in the orange robes he will be free" Cynical I may be, but not far from the truth.

SammyT Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 29 minutes ago, Maejo Man said: Thai police are just the average Thai male in a brown uniform. A Canadian national was killed by a policeman (Loss of face strikes again) in Pai and a tourist police officer shot an Italian tourist in Chiangmai airport. There have been others, but memory fade has kicked in. Got a reference for the CNX airport one?
