Now I suppose the Thai railway authorities in their usual knee jerk response will ban all food and drink on trains.

Just the air perhaps

Thailand.

 

Come to Amazing Thailand and travel worry free in out new "rape-free" compartment!

 

Or, if rape's not a big concern, sleep on your stomach like a baby, in one of our regular coaches. Even if the train derails, you'll not wake till the sun comes up, refreshed and ready for your sunny holiday in Hat Yai, just an hour away from many major terrorism tourism spots of the beautiful south.

Sleep on your stomach, and wake up and your "star" became a hole.....

just one small canister can do the trick. wait a few hours. and enter the cabin when the fumes are gone.  A soaked handkerchief, stuffed in the aircon duct.    Many ways.  No need to consume...  Suspect Nitrous oxide or Ether.

available at any dental supply store/university.

 

 

Why no security cams in compartment?  Seems not hard to do.

Note to self ... do not travel by train
Note to self do not travel by bus
Note to self ...do not travel by passenger van
Note to self .... never leave condo

 

But be sure to stay away from the balcony 'safety' railing!

So it wasn't every passenger, wasn't on the ladies' car, and nobody was drugged.

Just like the headline says =\

was it the new women only car?

No.

From the OP: Just one car away from the state railway’s new rape-free compartment

used to be common in spain and france

Gypo's were doing this on European sleeper cars a few years ago. They used some kind of gas sprayed into sleeping compartments. Occupants knocked out then robbed and/or molested. Nasty.

The whole 'sleeping gas' train thing is such an urban myth. There's never been one proper shred of evidence over it happening. I'm pretty sure all anesthetic gases are heavier than air, so you'd need way more than "one small canister" to do the trick, you'd need a hell of a lot of gas to successfully flood a carriage- especially as carriages aren't totally sealed off from the outside either- and yet nobody smells anything, despite the massive volume of gas there's no toxicity and death... 

If these robbers have managed to do it then it's a huge leap forward for both chemical warfare and anaesthetists everywhere, and they should probably be found and congratulated for their scientific breakthrough. :) 

They may have possible had their tea spiked with the date rape drug ‘Rohypnol’ (also known as Roofies as depicted in the movie ” The Hangover”)depending upon if everyone consumed the beverage and if also it was offered to passengers by train catering staff.  The staff were possible not aware this may have occurred.

Those passengers whose arse hurts aren't saying anything I guess.

Your bad joe.... But I like your sense of humour....

^{Seems to me that the SRT management need to very very urgently get a complete grip on all factors / systems / realities of the way SRT currently operates, and perhaps even close it down until they completely rework the whole system into something which provides both a modern service and complete security and that probably includes a complete rework of at least recruitment.}

 

^{Also, if security let alone service is not fixed within a few days, then the new / current / temporary SRT chief should also be sacked.} 

was it the new women only car?

 

Try reading the first sentence of the report.
 

30 passengers in the compartment, all were robbed, yet only 2,500THB was stolen.  That's only just over 80THB per person.

That's what I noticed, and less than half had a phone, must have been a 3rd class sleeper, 30 poor folk.

Nothing will get done as usual, NATO

Imagine the rape free car is locked, so there was no reason for the rangers not to sleep,

 

if not locked, then, another matter

 

drugging 30 people to get cell phones and 2500 baht?

i wonder how many story like this one, never reach the english media stream. And i am pretty sure a lot, are only published in thai newspaper!

 

This country is becoming, day after day,  more and more.... lost!

That would be a good solution to your dilemma. There are many home delivery food services and even ladies will do home service. Yes, good choice, stay in condom.

 

My good friend Freud asked me to tell you that he likes your comment.

They were gassed?

Happened to a relative 40 years ago in Italy. They were robbed.

It must be blamed on the foreigners here. The scum in and outers who ride the trains. Next week immigration will be posted at all train stations and any foreigner without thousands of baht will be kicked out of thailand as a security risk on trains.
Unbelievable that the perps had time to sit around and remove the sims while robbing everyone. And with a police squad in the next car! What happened to the steward? He should have been in that car as well. Or maybe he did the deed. Train service in thailand is getting riskier and riskier even with their new rules preventing anyone from having fun on their trains. They should supply unlimited alcohol free just for taking a chance riding with them

With all that happens on trains the SRT couldn't keep getting worse publicity if they deliberately set out to try.

 

I suppose everything will be ok if the high speed system starts,

Happened to my MIL in a hospital in Chonburi where she was visiting a patient with a group of people. About 10 years ago.

 

The group accepted drinks by someone in hospital while in a waiting room, they all went under and were robbed of belongings.

Only 2,500 baht was stolen? not the greatest train robbery is it? Ronald bigg will be turning in his

grave by now if he heard that...

You tried to entertain me but failed miserably.

Just one car away from the state railway’s new rape-free compartment, someone is suspected of drugging about 30 passengers on the state railway this morning and stealing their belongings.

 

 

 

Welcome to Thailand ka.
