PHUKET: Residents in the Saphan Hin community on the outskirts of Phuket Town have railed against police conduct in arresting a drug suspect, which included shoving a 64-year-old woman over after an argument over her taking photos of the arrest, and firing a warning shot into the air in the middle of a small residential street to prevent the suspect from fleeing.

The commotion began when plainclothes officers arrived in the narrow street Saphan Hin Soi 6 on Thursday (Mar 11).

The officers arrived in three vehicles, one a black Isuzu SUV without licence plates, prompting local residents to gather around to see what the visitors wanted.

A solid 8/10 in the pointing stakes, but was she really sitting on a plastic ice bucket in the middle of the table?

One thing I've learnt in Thailand, you don't muck around with Grandma.

I think she may have been dropping ice cubes into the bucket while squatting over it, rather than actually sitting on it.

I saw a lady doing it in a club once.

Then she did something with a banana.
