Popular Post soi3eddie Posted December 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2022 So Sitting Shrimp (GoongNang) translated the story from the information given, whilst travelling between Nakhon Si Thammrat, Phuket and Krabi? No mention of whether the 96 bullets and firearm were in checked or hand carry baggage (not that it makes too much difference). Destination not stated but almost certainly Bangkok. So he needed the items for "self defence when travelling abroad". Does that mean he lives in Thailand and was heading overseas? Should be, as he bought from a Thai in Samui. Where was he heading? Arrested but no mention of further detention or court appearance. It would be so nice if the "reporters" would file a more detailed story. 7 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting 96 bullets, usually in boxes of 50 so probably fired 4 to try it out then broke the weapon down thinkong the parts would not be recognised by radar...but didn't clean it properly so the nitrate deposit got picked up.... 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lacessit Posted December 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2022 I get tired of reading about people of my nationality who do stupid and criminal things, because it reflects on those who are law-abiding. Irrespective of any penalties he may get from the Thai authorities, IMO he should be deported after said penalties, and banned for life from Thailand. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elkski Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 If liking guns is a hobby attributed to America I can live with that. Why wouldn't the reporter ask what numbers on the bullets? Obviously a semi auto handgun because they break down and could confuse the uneducated. So 9mm, .380, or 45acp. Yes most commercial pistol ammo comes in 50 per box. To bad this Aussie doesn't read Asiannow or he would know the Israeli got in deep do do with less bullets no gun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traveller101 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 If he expected to get through airport security with 96 bullets - he needs a mental assessment before being sent to jail ...... unless they were rubber bullets in plastic casings.
