So this week we have learnt that:

a) loss of life is a 5,000B per person court fine in 'fairness';

b.) a child after raping is worth 2,000B to be further abused;

c) a tourist dies everyday in suspcious circumstances.

The land of shameful and embarressed smiles?

....it smells rotten.....

welcome to the land of fake smiles ...... 20k baht for the death of someone ..... that is maybe the cost of a human here .... things are different than Europe here , I always wonder why people expect to have the same here than they can get at home , Thailand makes no exception. yes here money talks more than anything else ..that is a fact ....

20K baht for the death of SOMEONE?------- There were 4 SOMEONES-------- I think thats 5000bt for the death of someone

Life is cheap in the LOS, Justice is not. What did you expect in Thailand?

The so called public defender has not lodged charges yet. What can be made of this occurrence? Lack of courage, in the face of millions of baht? These Tiger disco rodents are super rich.

How about a major PR campaign against the insects that own the new death trap?

As If !

If the case ever gets to court and if they are found guilty then it should allow civil cases for the families of the dead and injured to claim compensation. Don't know how much that might be but far more than 20,000 baht I'd reckon. Of course this is all subject to some very big IFs.

Why you think, Tiger compensated the families of the 'two' Thai people so quickly?

The other dead people did come from far far away.

Public Prosecutor Vivath Kitjaruk told the Phuket Gazette they were still considering whether to press charges against the Tiger Bar and Discotheque owners Sara Entertainment Co Ltd and CEO Piya Isaramalai

In other words they just need more time to get more money, and the problem goes away, and then the owner and the cops have a ...
