KarenBravo Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Since when was Patong a sub-district of Ampur Thalang? It's a sub-district of Ampur Kathu. The usual shoddy reporting. A lot of people seem to think that Interpol is actually a separate police force. It isn't it is just an organization that sets up liaisons between different nationalities of police forces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thousand lashes with a pillow case feather..then they normally put them up in a open prison style campus better than some of the $150 sh.t hole motels I have stayed in Oz.. It's all about rehabilitation in Scandinavia prisons and he'll be glad to be in one after experiencing a fortnight in a Thai one!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parmo2 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 The biggest crimes are ones against the government, it seems, and against their big business paymasters like yesterday's arrest of pirate bay founder.

Nielsk Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 does Interpol really track down tax cheats? You'd think they have better things to do with their time. Interpol's main tasks are public safety and terrorism, organized crime, drug trafficking, arms smuggling, trafficking, child pornography, economic crime and corruption..
