The way he dresses at the picture is also a provocation to get pulled over and arrested by BIB.

It won't hurt to wear a T-shirt when you are out having a few drinks.

Dress nicely, be polite and admit your fault when you are causing an accident during DUI (driving under influence) and pay the police what they ask for without any argue. 

Agreed. Humility, wais, and paying your fine(s) is the extant working system. 

However, something has me scratching my head... 

If he has been here 4 years already, he should have some savings in the bank (retirement extension = 800k, marriage/family = 400k). Maybe using an agent to help with immigration? 

Even if he "makes it through" the legal process here, I don't see this ending well for him. 

As in all other parts of the world: "don't drink and drive!!!"

You need to have a Ferrari to do this and not a scooter

[bristolgeoff]

If he was driving a ferrari he would have being ok  for sure. but a farang on a scooter drunk he had no chance

[Grumpy one]

The moral to be learnt here is

1) Drink at home or within walking distance

2) If you stuff up, pay the damage bill and 

3) Be wary what you say to the cops, even if they don't speak English, they

understand f@@k you

Maybe so, & neither are you particularly literate.

He's actually Australian, but used to be American.

 

Us fine & educated British gentlemen, don't behave in such a dreadful manner.

 

Indeed, all of H.M. Queen Elizabeth's subjects on here, were educated at Eton.

“Lt Wirote told The Phuket News, “Peter’s case was reported to the [British] embassy on the same day of the accident, July 28,” Lt Wirote said.”
This is an important legal detail. If the embassy was informed two weeks ago then why are the family only learning about his situation now. And if the cop is lying about informing the embassy then this man was not legally arrested.

  Law 71 of the Thai legal code requires that he be allowed to make a phone call. If he was not allowed to make a phone call then he is being held illegally, regardless of whether he committed a crime.

... should have made his 'one phone call' - an International call

(or the very least his Embassy)

Presuming he got the right to a phone call... why was he detained?

Read my post # 16, this is Thailand, not the US/ UK, phone call.????????

[shackleton]

Well this will up set the Thai bashers a Farang riding a motor cycle 

Under the influence and involved in a accident no sympathy on that score

But for his families sake glad they located him

 

[Tarteso]

With The Brit missing and the beer hidden, difficult to resolve the case..

Now heres a thing, would You have anything to do with a Man who looks like that. I declare Myself a Snob. On my rare visits to Tourist Areas he waits for me in 7/11. Toasted Cheese n Ham, Tin O Chang, with the slowest Cashier manning the till whilst his B.O. starts to permeate every descent persons clothes. Then sits on outside step going "Oil Right Mate" to everyone in some weird English accent.

''Oil Right Mate''

He's charged with DUI so hardly surprising.  

 

If he killed your mother by his reckless behaviour then I'd imagine you wouldn't be so forgiving either?

I was referring to their comments about me. When I said such kind forgiving posters on here. 

Not the drunk driver! Lol

[robblok]

Seems to be normal for many expats to drink and drive. With the rationale but the locals do it too. They seem to love to put the locals down (in general) but when its about drinking and driving they just say do as locals do. Bit dual.

 

Anyway I hope they keep in jail as long as they can. I am all for drugs alcohol whatever but just not in traffic. Once you do that you expose yourself for the selfish b.stard you are. 

 

No insult meant to those who don't drink and drive or do drugs and drive.

[pineapple01]

If You went for a Stroll, felt like a Beer, would you sit down at a Beach Road Bar next to a creature that looked like Him. If so we know your Status. Fellow Trash imo.!

[topcrickets]

At least he is safe and healthy

There is nothing to indicate whether his bike was rented, or not. Anyway, how is that even pertinent to this case?

Firstly, maybe he has principles which is why he didn't want to pay a bribe.

Secondly, Phuket is a beach resort and he can dress anyway he wants, except for government offices.

Thirdly, who are you to judge whether he's "trash", or not?

Fourthly, all you know is what's in the article and that publication has a lousy reputation for accuracy, so, I find it amusing that you are able to build a complete house with only three bricks.

No, not slow. Just going with the known (sic) facts, unlike you.

Think about this. The police stop him and decide to charge him, therefore he has to be detained. Or, do you think that police somehow got the motorbike renter on the phone first and after negotiations failed, decided to lock him up?

 

Once you start guessing, how far do you want to go?

 

Maybe the police suspected that he was really Thaksin after facial surgery and they are keeping him for DNA testing.

 

Maybe he requested to go to prison to broaden his 'life experience'.

Unlike you,I know a bit about rented bikes and accidents and police, in Phuket. Can,t pay for bail,can,t pay damages or recompense the other rider  for his bike...hardly Sherlock material.

There you go assuming stuff again. Please tell me about the rented bike.

After living in Phuket Town for four years, which do you think is more likely. That he owns a bike, or, that he still rents a bike.

 

Can't pay the bribe, yes, you get charged and detained. I very much doubt that the subject of who owned the bike would even have come up at the time.

Sherlock Holmes went on observation and evidence. Neither things you have a passing acquaintance with.
