Cabradelmar Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Deny all charges... The Bart Simpson defense 😂 except this time there is video and eye witnesses. Someone needs to remind these 2 clowns that by simply owning up to a mistake in Thailand can get your sentence halved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon1287 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Did I read their "millionaire" parents flew in to Thailand? It's going to be a very expensive trip for them.. Even if justice needs to be seen to be done so the average Thai hooligan doesn't get the idea it's fine to beat up policeman, and a long sentence is imposed they will most likely "slip out the back door" in due course (within a year?) when it has all died down and everyone has forgotten about them. The only thing for sure here is that they are two very lucky men to have such a rich mummy and daddy as the end result, whatever it may be, would be vastly different for a poor pair of dickheads! Maybe it will turn out it was all just a misunderstanding and a picture of the brothers presenting the policeman with a pretty bunch of flowers will appear in the news :) No, probably not but in Thailand best not to make any guesses about anything really as it usually ends up being the opposite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the NZ Guys steel the police officers phone then try to delete photos ? OR... Did NZ Guy2 pick up the phone which had dropped to the floor during the 'tussle for the gun' and then held on to it to later return ? What IF the NZ Guys thought their life is in danger ???.. Better to be in serious trouble than dead, no ? Dumb and Dumber Brothers can get by with their Old Man's money.

rexpotter Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Unfortunately there is little straight up justice here. Even if they only were saving their own lives, the small news clips are in the cops favor. Strange thing, I've never heard a Thai person say how wonderful the police here are. Mind you, I find them very reasonable to deal with 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomangosteen Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 From the NZ Newshub yesterday 30 March 2024, interview with Hamish Day's wife: "I explained [to son Jake aged 9] they are not alone - he’s with Matt - and we are going to try everything we can to get them home," she told the Herald. "It could be weeks, it could be months." Jake asked: "Could it be years?" "And I said, ‘it might be," she told the Herald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then the guys did not have the correct license and would have been fined for that... Which is very common in Thailand and probably the very reason the BiB wanted to stop the tourists ? (as they know most tourists wont have the correct license and thus, its a money spinner). Thats no excuse for the NZ guys to flee of course... But.. did they flee ??? Did they know the Policemen wanted to pull them over ? How clear were the instructions from the BiB to pull over / stop ? Or... Did the NZ Guys see the instruction to stop and just thought eff that, I'm not stopping for this shakedown ? It's their word against the most dishonest and corrupt organisation in the land. Maybe they did it, I've nothing but speculation and experience of dealing with the bib to know only one thing.

NZ has category 6 for full M/C licence so that needs to be accompanied by the appropriate IDP (6L and 6R are not valid in Thailand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
