webfact Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Picture: Neaw Na Naew Na reported that the Thonburi Criminal Court in western Bangkok granted bail in the sum of 200,000 baht to a police hospital surgeon. Dr Phanurak Rattanaphaisan faces drunk driving, negligent driving causing death, speeding and charges related to driving a red plate vehicle while prohibited on August 29th last year. Dr Phanurak - who has the rank of police lieutenant - was behind the wheel of a brand new Porsche that went into the back of a Honda Civic on the Ratchaphreuk Road. A male passenger in the car died and the female driver was seriously injured.

Defence could claim that he has saved and will save more lives than he has taken. So maybe a Wai and a fine is all that is required. Hiso scales of justice in the balance.

Popular Post mtls2005 Posted February 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2022 Can't use that "coming back from the dentist appointment" excuse anymore? Nor the "brake failure" excuse as these new cars all have full digital history. Dr. Dismember (aka Chop Doc - Wisut Boonkasemsanti) did but 10 years, this chap will not see the inside of a prison. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been normalised for people in positions of power or those with the right connections to get away with these issues. Another issue enabling this sort of behaviour is those with connections are simply allowed to pass through the few police alcohol checkpoints that are around rendering them nothing more than a mild inconvenience for the wealthy and connected. Hopefully Thailand has matured sufficiently to be able to handle these these issues without succumbing to bribes - unfortunately, I very much doubt it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vangrop Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Already 30+years that I am frequenting this amazing country. And still every time a new surprise comes up. How can a policeman be a surgeon and vice versa? The Porsche story I understood from my first visit when I had to hand over the brown envelop to an officer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
