From a jail cell?

[Happystance]

She maybe feared for her life. The guy sounds unhinged. Toss his arse in a cell for a nice spell then blacklist for life.

Sounds like there will be a buffalo not receiving veterinary treatment this month.  ????

Good , so where did he get the money to run a hotel in Phuket?  From the Polish mafia? Let's hope he will get blacklisted.

It’s always these prejudices. Not all Poles are Mafia members or steal. There are not more than two or three ... per family. In the neighbouring countries they have the saying: “If today it is stolen- it is tomorrow in Poland”.

Not sure where the complaint came from. She ratted him out pretty quickly. Maybe it was her gun, maybe her way of getting rid of him and keeping all assets in Thailand. I hope the police check for his fingerprints on the gun. Of course, it's probably his, but a little further police work would be nice just to confirm the story. 

[Alphy]

This is the adverse publicity that Expats don't need as we are already walking a tight rope. Allegedly this clown owns/runs a business and waving a gun indiscriminately is going to attract punters?? Let's hope he enjoys his enforced stay in surroundings that perhaps may not meet his insane expectations!

[balo]

"Col Anotai reported that after early investigations, it seems the Polish man is in Thailand on a tourist visa.

 

“We are also investigating how the man came to own a hotel here,” he said."

 

Good question, and his name has not been released to the media, which is normal to do here. 

 

So I guess he is protected somehow. And loaded with money.

Where did anyone get the money to run their hotel?  Why are you suggesting this one could be the mafia, because he has a gun, like half of households in Thailand, or because he is a Pole?

[madmitch]

Why is the picture blurred? Hardly offensive or graphic!

[Old Croc]

Threatening people with a gun!

 

Is he aware only Police, taxi drivers and students are allowed to do that in Thailand?

Evidently lacked the appropriate work permit

It would be graphic if not blurred.  I believe the concept is to avoid the glorification of guns.

I thought the current Eastern Europe stereotype is Albanians = criminals.

So you are suggesting that half of the farangs living here keep a gun in their household. You must be American. 

This is not normal .

[Howard]

And blurring the photo of the gun achieves what?

Nope, not suggesting that, why did you avoid my question and pretend that I said something I didn't?

Reducing the number of young people worshiping guns?

what makes you know how dumb he is , that police only have to get CCTV of the places where he was to prove he was carrying a gun , sometimes it makes you wonder where their brain is !!  time for a ban for life from thailand and possible jail time for wasting police time

Well glorify we shall, it looks like a Glock 26, subcompact 9mm, I think a Thrd generation with standard sights. About $699 retail in the USA. Decent carry gun, but ergonomically not the best. So where would he get that gun here then?
