Popular Post webfact Posted December 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2022 Daily News Thai Caption: Police shoot at each other Daily News reported on a disastrous mistake in which two police forces ended up shooting at each other causing a severe injury to one officer. Sikhio police were informed of the shooting incident at a house in Lat Bua Khao sub-district in the NE province of Nakhon Ratchasima. They found 52 year old Pol Capt Suwisit Lawong from their own constabulary shot in his right thigh and his left arm. He had such a serious artery rupture in the leg that he had to be transferred for surgery from the local hospital to Maharat in central Korat. Pol Col Yongyot Phondech, Sikhio chief, said his men had arrested a drugs suspect who had pointed them in the direction of the house where the shooting occurred. The suspect said he bought the yaba there. Five officers went to make a further arrest but at the same time five officers from the Klong Phai force (in the same province) were on their way too under similar circumstances to conduct a sting. There had been no communication between the two forces. The Klong Phai officers saw the Sikhio men with their guns drawn in a banana plantation next to the house. Orders were made by each force to "freeze" - then the firing in the dark began. It resulted in dozens of shots being fired. Sergeant Siriwat Meesaeng was the one who shot Suwisit. It was called a misunderstanding. ASEAN NOW notes that RTP detractors often call the force the "Keystone Cops". That seemed all too appropriate in this case. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-12-24 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Can't burn you cake at both ends. Again wow! It's burn your candle at both ends (staying awake and partying), not really the correct use or have your cake and eat is more relevant. Thailand which I love and am married to a beautiful and very good Thai wife and two wonderful children with a very good family and I think the Thai government, military and police are not fit for purpose and the comparison to the mafia is well deserved. The fact that Thailand is still a 3rd world country and not as prosperous as Japan and South Korea comes from the greed and corruption from the top down. However, Thailand has some of the riches families in the world and also poorest. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lopchan Posted December 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2022 While this is a sad indictment on communication between departments which the usual RTP detractors have seized upon to sprout their racist diatribe, how often have Western forces, especially US members been killed by friendly fire caused by lack of communication / mistakes? I guarantee, the figures are higher in the west. Oh that's right, it's different isn't it, just go ahead and sprout your anti-Thai, racist diatribe. Sickening. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Ray Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Thailand is a similar society to pre-Revolution Russia or China. The rich have all the power and influence, backed up by the police and the military. The poor are downtrodden and hopeless of change. There does not seem to be the same appetite for Revolution here, although there were hints of it during the Red/Yellow shirts conflict and the recent student demonstrations. I am not sure if the current status will prevail, or if some groundswell of opinion or defining event will be enough to trigger overwhelming dissent. I think the Thai character is different to both the examples I quoted earlier, but I know they can get very angry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
