Classic Ray Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I hope they introduce a Sex Offenders Register like the UK, but I have my doubts whether the necessary administration and monitoring will take place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maprao Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Schools are a great place to start looking for bad people hiding. Followed by villages in the boonies.

'Task Force' is just a different name for a committee, and you know how Thais love their committees (not down to me guv'nor, it was the committee's decision).

To relieve Husker's confusion, My "bullet" reference was to the kid who was detained , and is in jail because they claim they found a bullet in his luggage, a scam often perpetuated in the Philippines but now seems to have made its way to Thailand.
