Popular Post jil Posted September 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) What happened to those 2 French (?) guys in their Porsche on Koh Samui? One of them knocked a Thai man unconscious in the middle of the night during a fight. It happened already a few months ago. Are they still in jail?

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted September 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2023 A good topic for a thread... Also, what happened to the foreigners in so many other stories published on here in which there is loads of online interest and discussion yet zero followup whatsoever? 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pi Tao Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 In French, but easy to translate. https://www.lepoint.fr/montres/fin-de-partie-pour-le-roi-francais-de-la-contrefacon-de-montres-suisses-30-08-2023-2533298_2648.php 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Yes, there is virtually no follow-up to a large majority of these stories. Child molesters, rapists, murders, etc. Is it all public record? It would be helpful if there was an investigative reporter who could access status/disposition/sentencing and publish the information. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I still wonder what happened to that Italian (I think) guy who was banged up for no work permit because he was building boats in his yard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post khunPer Posted September 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2023 Perhaps we should open a pinned thread with "What happened to...", so we can keep track on what happened to various criminals and other items in the news about Samui...???? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 This is why you dont hear anymore. Because it has been "sorted". Thai style. They have money so compenstated the victim adequedetly/ paid off the cops. Nothing to report. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Not sure if accurate but I remember reading sometime ago on the predecessor forum that often the results of criminal court cases are not released to the public. No doubt a good reason for that (ahem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public record - Probably but getting access may be difficult, don't believe that Thailand has a "Freedom of Information" Act. If a reporter did get access to the information and printed it, he could probably be sued for Deformation under the Lesse Majest laws for impugning somebody's character.

Nothing to do with public record, FoI, LM or defamation. It's just another facet of Thai society's innate sloth and indolence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
