klauskunkel Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Quote Mr. Supakrit is in police custody and faces charges for causing property damage, carrying a firearm and ammunition in public without reasonable cause, and discharging a firearm in public. No charges of attempted murder? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vehicle, which to Western eyes is painted 'silver' is registered in its log-book (Tabien roht) as 'Bronze' This is not a mistake it is the official description in English used by the DLT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prakhonchai nick Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I have repeatedly said, that possession of a firearm in public (unless authorised- ie police etc) should carry a minimum 10 year prison sentence, whilst the use of a firearm to either threaten or fire, regardless of the result, warrants the ultimate penalty!

PETERTHEEATER Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 3 hours ago, brianthainess said: Just bad translation IMO buy the translator of this article and DLT. Do you have a Blonze Lot Cap Twenty years ago I bought a new (silver) car. In the Tabien Roht it was stated (in English) as 'Bronze'. That concerned me because it had a number of implications. I went to the DLT and pointed out the 'error' but a Supervisor told me it was all in order. But, I have seen the colour 'silver' described as 'bronze' in a number of English language news reports across the years. 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
