balo Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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”.

Ulic Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphy Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 "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.

Let's hope he will get blacklisted. 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
