The man's suspicious behavior and signs of intoxication prompted officers to request a breath sample, but he repeatedly refused, offering evasive answers. Despite multiple opportunities to comply, he continued to resist. Officers eventually restrained him and transported him to the police station, where he agreed to take the test.

The test revealed a blood alcohol level of 135 milligrams per decilitre, surpassing the legal limit.

Surpassing the legal limit by nearly 3x

So... 3000 baht fine and a 'don't do it again' - slap on the wrist from the courts - then free to kill someone tomorrow ?
