webfact Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Cpl Pornthep Channarong of the Phuket Provincial Police is caught on CCTV firing at close range at Mr Aroon on Bangla Rd, Patong. Image: CCTV / Eakkapop Thongtub By The Phuket News PHUKET: Pornthep Channarong, the corporal with the Phuket Provincial Police who was drunk off-duty when he shot 25-year-old noodle vendor Aroon Thongplab in the stomach on Bangla Rd in Patong in February, has entered a plea of not guilty and will fight the charges against him in court. Mr Aroon was shot in the stomach by Pornthep just before 6am on Feb 23 while he was walking along the Bangla Rd after collecting a noodle bowl from a customer. In less than 24 hours Pornthep was quickly stripped of his rank and discharged from the Royal Thai Police, and now faces charges of attempted murder, carring a firearm in a public area without necessary reason, and firing a weapon in a public area.

impulse Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 “While the criminal case continues, in terms of a civil case, I have asked for B15 million. in compensation for his paralysis, to cover the cost for living in the future, and the cost of losing opportunity and income,” Mr Kerdphol said. “I do not know whether the police can pay that big amount,” he added. Amazing. He must have qualified immunity, even if he's drunk and apparently off duty according to what he was wearing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pornthep you are truly disgusting scum, you destroy a poor mans life. You were in a drunken stupor, caught on camera, yet have the bloody nerve to plead not guilty ,unbelievable. You deserve a bullet in your spine, same as your victim, see how you like it. 19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I missed the vital bit of the story... the policman's lawyer explained the video by saying that the policeman did intentionally shoot the victim because "he thought he was a bad man". If this whole thing wasn't so tragic it would be laughable 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmonkey Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 sounds like the police also have 'witnesses' to corroborate the policeman's new version of events... oh dear i think we know where this is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can buy his way out of cold bloodedly shooting someone in the street while drunk captured for all to see on CCTV then you know Thailands justice system is broken. Compensation to the family should not buy him out of a long jail term. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuketshrew Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Absolutely. But when you think of Red Bull and Koh Tao then you know it's broken. Surprised they have not tried to pin the blame on a farang or Burmese (yet) ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surelynot Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 His grounds for denying the charges are that he thought the noodle seller was a "bad man"........that'll work (in Thailand at least) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This story triggered a memory of the Thai policeman that murdered 2 Brit packpackers in Kanchanaburi (also whilst drunk I believe). he did get 2 life sentences which the judge then 'corrected' to one life sentence... would be very interested to know how much time he actually did serve... if anyone knows...? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I'm not wrong he worked as licensed tourist guide in Phuket for a while before they arrested him. TAT please explain me again how that works? I will tell you he probably entered a Wat for a while and got a new name and applied with that name. Met once met a tourist guide like this, two licenses under his real and monk name. Regarding this scumbag, maybe put some of his superiors and connections in jail as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
