Let's hope someone takes matters into their own hands if this evil b*stard returns to Thailand.

Maybe "hit and run" by a black Ferrari!!

Whatever dude, you're are entitled to an opinion, however weird.  

My view is weird? Wanting the country to be fair, uncorrupt and just! I think if you thinking that a common sense view like that is weird says a lot more about you then me fella. Go hide back under your rock, you never know it might all go away..

If one of my kids killed somebody in such a horrific manner, drunk and coked up they'd have to face the consequences of their actions but I'd also add I'm 100% sure they're not so morally bankrupt to behave in such a way and put themselves in such a position to begin with.

well said fella. Weird that people here defend the situation with the statement "wouldn't you pay it to get away with it". your post cuts through that ridiculous argument nicely. ????

Sadly typical Thailand. Money is more important than justice and what is right. Just like years ago a certain person killed a policeman in front of numerous witnesses and the charges were dropped.

A stint in the temple and he was a government minister.

 

If i was Thai I would be absolutely ashamed and embarrassed that this continually goes on and people just accept it. A very sad day in Thai history.

I know a few thai who are now very sad about the whole situation in their country, knowing that people with money /ie power. will always get away with anything they want and even more so if they wear a uniform, they accepted the coup at first, then their beloved king died, and things have just got worse for them ever since, i can only empathize with them. Very sad for most knowing deep down they can never change their lot in life no mater how hard they try.  This Govt has actually taken away happiness .

[sambum]

Absolutely disgraceful - no other words to describe it, and I hope the world takes notice.

 

No wonder the UK have left Thailand off their "no quarantine" list - they obviously don't believe a word that is spouted by this "democratic" Government.????

You're not tuned into radio human being are you.... The whole point is he should not have the option to pay his way out of trouble, thats what the law and justice is all about.. If you don't break the law and live in society as a decent person all good, if you don't do that you need to face the consequences of your actions no matter how rich. that what keep people safe in society and protects us and our goods... Try turning you mental radio dial into "common sense".

The relatives of the deceased were well-compensated and agreed at the time that they would not press charges against Vorayuth.

I think many should accept the culture they are in or go home. 

 

Another member of the "If you don't like it, go home" Club  - haven't heard that for a while!

 

So you think that just because he is "monied" he can do whatever he likes and get away with it? What if one of these "hisos" got high as a kite, got hold of an assault rifle and started blasting his way down Sukhumvit? Would that be OK because he's got money, and it's "part of the culture"?

I wonder the final price that was settled on and how it was divvied up.

Most likely the family got the least of the lot, most went to the usual guys.

The family received millions of baht years ago, shortly after the accident and agreed not to pursue charges against him

He had one remaining charge, reckless driving causing death.

Unbelievable thats what it is, if you are seriously rich , this case proves you can get away with murder.

Once again the police farce show just how pathetic and useless they are.

What is a real farce is the number of people who claim that he murdered the officer.

Perhaps "we" should stop whinging, what has the Thai system got to do with any foreigners here temporarily?

No, it was vehicular manslaughter. And they may have dropped the charges, but there should still be charges laid for absconding. Even if you're innocent of a crime, you can't do a runner.

 

This whole saga is beyond the pale.

That's not the point! The point is that he broke the law, and should be punished for it by the legal system, regardless of how much the relatives of the deceased were paid.

"was".

 

People can't run away from their charges. That's a crime in itself.

I suppose the only thing the little twerp has to worry about is people slapping his face in department stores. Thais do care about unfairness but accept they can't do much about it.
