In Australia the cops would do little in fear of being sued or charged with hurting their feelings,  then the perpetrators would get financial assistance,  free housing,  food allowance,  free medical and whatever else .....

Phuket is full of tourists . Many hire motor bikes . Thai law says that the renter must hold a licence . The licence is rarely asked for by the proprietor . Cops know this and the motor bike tourists are easy targets for fines . All part of the corruption chain . Easy money for the cops . Most Western tourists come to Thailand and assume that the laws in Thailand will be similar to those of their home country but that could not be further from the truth . 

The laws are exactly the same as their home country. What are you on about???? You need a motorbike licence to ride a motorbike in your home country, or in your home country it's not the law but only in Thailand it's the law?

I think they've been hit on the head far too many times from boxing.🥊 No sane person would challenge a cop like that, let alone in a foreign country!

So?

In most countries, if you physically go after a cop and grab for his gun, the police have every right to shoot their attackers.  No court would convict that cop.

So?            they are very lucky they aren't dead.

I'm seeing alot of this aggressive nutty behaviour around - and i'm telling you it's the cannabis. In the short term it's completely fine, but keep doing it for a few days and you start getting aggressive and irrational.

How about the two Swiss  Have they lost theirs yet.The " Let's kick the Doctor" one especially, or is his money still talking?

 

The other Swiss was involved in a far more serious assault than the 'Doctor kicker', so why him especially?

It isn't corruption. It'd enforcing the law. Too many foreigners here seem to struggle to know the difference. Including you, it seems.

36 and 38 are not "young and dumb". They are "middle-aged and dumb", or just plain "dumb".

Agree and cannot judge this event when there is just the one video , all in favour of the cop . Will the court case be a public hearing ? because the 2 NZ guys must be heard for their reasons to tackle the cop .

Um, I didn't say the above so why have you quoted me as saying that???? It was "superal" that said that.

   Two spoiled brats.  Driving without a license charge, though--that's rich.  True for about every tourist allowed to illegally rent a motorbike in Thailand--which too often leads to injury, death, or trouble such as this.

Sounds like mummy & daddy will be coughing up a lot of cash to get the idiots out of the country.

 

I don't think cash will help now. They're in the system and won't be paying their way out.

 

The best thing they could do would be to get down on their knees, perform the deepest wai, apologise profusely for their total madness and plead for forgiveness. Plead guilty as early as possible (NOW!!!) to all charges which will reduce their sentence. If they are lucky, they might get sentenced to less than a couple of years in prison, and be released after serving 12 months or so. They should be back in New Zealand around the middle of next year. I really think that is about the best they can hope for.

Kids??? 36 and 38 are hardly kids!

Personally I really hope they are prosecuted to the full extent of the law! If not then every Tom, Dick and Harry will think it is ok to disregard a lawful order by the police!

[Cabradelmar]

Not unexpected. Now it only remains to be seen if their parents money will get them out of the country without any jail time, or not. Honestly, jail would be a good message for these 2 clowns.

UPDATE: Two New Zealand Suspects in Alleged Assault of Thai Cop to Have Visas Revoked, Head to Court
By Goongnang Suksawat

 

 

General Surachet has informed the press that he has instructed Major General Songprod Sirisukkha, the Immigration Region 6 Commander, to cancel the visas of the two New Zealand men in question and prohibit their entry into Thailand in the future.

 

The Chalong Police Chief, Colonel Eakkarat Plaiduang, revealed that these two individuals are currently being taken to the Phuket Provincial Court today (March 18th).

 

The two suspects are facing charges related to robbery, assaulting or resisting an officer on duty, and driving without a valid license. Despite allegedly attempting to bribe the police to avoid further charges, their efforts were unsuccessful.

 

Additionally, the New Zealand embassy has been notified of the situation.

Bribery attempt unsuccessful. Obviously their reputations were insulted by being offered a bribe, or not.

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.

They should have done a better job bringing them up then. Unfortunately, badly behaved thugs are no longer a rarity in NZ. I see such every day.

 

I only hope this doesn't make Thais think all NZ youths are thugs.

Thrash like these two deserve to be kicked up the plane steps. Two nut cases that, for whatever unknown reason, turned a simple traffic stop into mayhem

 

 

They will be, hopefully after a bit of "education" in a Thai jail.

One believes their "boxing skills" will not aid them when faced with jailed Thais that are out for a bit of aggro.

If I had passed that street, I would have run to help the policeman.

Back when I first started coming to Thailand in the 80s it was mostly friendly Aussies and things were beautiful as Aussies know how to respect local culture and get along with friendly Thais.

 

Now with the influx of the second rate citzens from countries like Russia, the Uk, the USA, Kiwis and the Europeans and their often violent tempers and entitled attitude they have ruined it for us as unfortunately now we are put in the same "farang" basket. The stories come in everyday.

 

That Kiwi bloke spitting on the car and kicking the car last week was an obvious New Zealander who happened to have an Australian passport. They cause us a lot of problems Down Under as well.

 

As POTY i would ask people to show some respect to your hosts and pull your heads in and if you see a countryman behaving badly pull him aside and tell him to calm down.

The Thais are lovely people and dont deserve this. The Thai people are why Thailand is so great. Bordering countries like Vietnam, Burma etc have beautiful beaches, warm weather etc but nowhere beats Thailand.

[Expat Tom]

Hangem' high. They are only Kiwis and that is not  HUGE source of tourism income...

Apart from their mental capacity of these two delinquents, since when has a 36 and 38 years-old ever qualified as being 'kids'?
