ridkun Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Err, 31 vehicles bearing the same plate? Only in Thailand!! FYI, license plate number is only unique in the province. Every license plates come with the province name on the bottom, and the complete, uniquely identifiable license plate details must include the province as well.

Many not that useless but there seems to be a large percentage of them who need being told their job is more than collecting tea money for bike riders with out helmets. You are perfectly correct and for me anyway the expression ' public service ' in Thailand is a complete misnomer. Many years ago the other newspaper featured an article in which people in various jobs were asked about their attitude to their work.. If I remember correctly 44% of police officers canvassed said they didn't like their job and only did it for the salary. Unfortunately the word salary wasn't highlighted correctly as it should have been in inverted commas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMarlow Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 There is another report on this in the Bangkok Post, which sometimes has a tendency to be more accurate than The Nation, that states that witnesses identified a bronze Toyota car with the numbers 5272 but could not remember the accompanying letters. That could explain why there are several vehicles identified with that (partial) registration. As far as this report is concerned then maybe Thailand isn't as stupid as the bashers would like it seen to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if the license details on record would mention whether it was a sedan or a pick up truck? That would narrow the search down. Of course they got it all -- colour, car type, engine number, engine type etc. They already narrowed the search down to 3 cars and summoning the owners for investigation already. I doubt if this investigation would go any farther anyway. Police tends to suspend the case where opposition is a victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also stated he visited an "entertainment venue" in Silom 2 after he left the rally. Do you think he lost his trousers there? And was his friend with the plaster on his cheek beaten up as well?

The english translation is wrong. From Thai news source is, from 31 cars, there are three cars' type and colour that matched with the eyewitness' statement, which all of them (31 cars) are from other provinces i.e. not a Bangkok license plate. The format of license numbers of Bangkok and provincial plate are different -- Bangkok's license plate starts with number and provincial one starts with Thai letter.

drdoom6996 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I love it when the police have to be Urged to do their job. The law is just a simple suggestion here. Unless you are an expat/tourist. Then the law is crystal clear. If I stab a Thai person in the hand on Beach Road in Pattaya do you think the fine would be 500 baht? It was for the Thai vendor there.
