Sinlert Sukhum, it was announced that the two New Zealand tourists, Mr. Hamish Day, 36, and Mr. Oscar Mattson Day, 38, will be slapped with five charges from the original four adding a charge of bribing officials as well. The initial four charges are stealing, fighting and obstructing officers while performing their duties, attacking an officer and driving without a licence. Governor Sophon issued a statement saying he “cannot accept” inappropriate and illegal behavior.The Immigration Bureau has already revoked the visas of the two tourists and ordered strict prosecution in order not to damage the tourism atmosphere in Phuket. Meanwhile Phuket Facebook page “Phuket Info Centre ” dug up the background of the two brothers who assaulted Pol. Lt. Somsak Noo-iad, attached to Chalong police station, and tried to snatch his pistol on Sunday finding out that they are boxers and for this reason it is not surprising they were able to lock him in a chokehold. by TNR Staff TOP: Pol.

Popular Post webfact Posted March 18 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 18 Parents of Kiwi brothers involved in Phuket assault, “distraught” By Peter Roche The parents of two New Zealand brothers, arrested in Phuket following a weekend incident with a police officer, have expressed their “anguish” as the siblings face their first court appearance. Brothers Hamish and Oscar Day, aged 36 and 38, were taking a holiday together in Phuket when they got into an altercation with a police officer. Officer Somsak accused them of “speeding and not staying close to the side of the road”. The initial incident happened near the front of the Chalong police station in Chao Fah Road East. The parents, Laurence and Katrina Day, wealthy business owners, described as “millionaires’ in some NZ media, have appealed for calm and privacy following the incident which gained widespread attention after videos surfaced, including on Thai television and social media.

Popular Post GaryPustynskiy Posted March 18 Popular Post Share Posted March 18 (edited) I'm reading the original article and I feel my hair start moving. "Just a couple of kids on a tourist trip" the father says. (Mr. Hamish Day, 36, and Mr. Oscar Mattson Day, 38, the police report says) "Who would have ever expected this?" "They were just on holiday. It’s very difficult" "It’s a very trying time" I would certainly refrain of any Kiwi-bashing comments (let us all hold our steam for the next Russian-bashing session, should we?). I just came from NZ about a month ago and I can assure you this is not what you see in Christchurch on a daily basis. So my question is WHAT THE FREAKING HELL? What kind of hell should be inside your head not only to do this but to speak of this in this manner, either from the "couple of kids" or their "tree doesn't fall from the apple" parents?

Popular Post eumenades Posted March 18 Popular Post Share Posted March 18 Yes. So far, no apologies. I hope the NZ Embassy attempts to make ammends in this recent period of gross bad behaviour from Thailand's visitors. Most of us don't deserve these lousy reputations - broadcast by a rowdy few. The Thais have always treated me well and I try to reciprocate. 2 1 1 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
