'69 sighting' in Patong leads police to Iranian thieves

[Bogan Koori]

I wonder which bloke shelfed the loot up his blurter? I reckon it was the guy on the left, he looks more upset than the other. Im sure there would be something in islam that would forbid inserting things into ones anus

I'm tired of all the arrests. Let me know when bad guys are sentenced to 10 years at the Phuket Hilton. Until then, everyone just pays their way out and sent on their way. I think every thief should have their hands bashed with a hammer. Thai or farang, you steal, no jail time...just hamburger hands for a while.

Opps, we got the wrong guy, let me say I'm sorry and let me shake your hamburger!

Maybe you should re-locate to Saudi Arabia. I know you'll just love it there......

Well this article has sorted me out with this months lottery numbers

It just becomes too transparent when all the reports are about 'foreign' criminals. i don't cast Thai's as criminals, either. But the emphasis in the last months on reporting about 'foreign criminals' is clearly an act of vilifying outsiders by a xenophobic new leadership. You'll notice there are no Chinese criminals in Thailand, for example.

That statement is always the poorest response imaginable: problems with corruption and abuse? 'Move to the worst place on earth!' It's no answer, and purposely avoids any accountability.

[RigPig]

Oh and how do you get 69 from 163? don't make sense.

Took me a while to work that one out too, and I have to give the officer's their due here, a witness said they "thought" the plate was 169, the police were looking for a "Nuvo" with a plate ending with 69. Now at first glance a "3" could look very much like a "9", especially when your not really looking for it.

Western countries racially profile people when applying for a visa. USA, Australia are experts at it.

That's the reason people from Asia and Africa have to apply for a visa beforehand so they can be scrutinised thoroughly.

Thailand needs to take the same measures. This free visa on arrival thing is just a money grab with zero screening.

[Phuketboy]

The caption says the police are cheerful.

The one in uniform facing the table isn't. He must have been told by the boss he cannot share in the loot on the table I imagine.

I hope all the criminals in the picture get time in jail.

Which of the criminals in the picture are you referring to, the foreigners or the Thai? LOL

Nope. It means if you support a barbaric punishment (this is from a supposed medic), then move to a country that also supports and practices barbarism.

Was that too subtle for you?

[poweratradio]

Whilst married to a Thai National and mainly living out of the country with my wife, this type of crime by this type of Farang, makes me not care how strict Thai Immigration are.

If they wish to make it more difficult with procedures for non-Thais to visit this country, I would welcome it.

Anything to keep scum of the like out, should be implemented.

Hope your dreams get crushed in travelling as well.

It's funny because it's true.

Thailand just let's in anything with baht to spend.

Check out Sukumvit Soi 3 and tell me how things are going.

I can't walk from one end to another without being offered cocaine.

Even in Bumrungrad hospital they're camped out offering drugs to people in the waiting area.

Screen them based on the region they come from.

So par usual eyewitness testimony turned out to be wrong. Thank god there are only 1000 combinations of a three digit number.

It is normal in the UK, when someone quotes a vehicle number, for the police to look at the common mistakes that are made if the number quoted does not prove correct. That was exactly same.

All countries have the same issues and all the borders are porous anyway

[sloperating]

The picture is interesting. Iranians are Persians and they aren't Arabs. They aren't Asians. They are Aryan Whites.

Are you sure?

[lostinisaan]

Interesting to see that one is handcuffed by the right hand and one by the left.

Shouldn't it be right to right left to left?

Sure would make it hard to walk together.

More quality tourists for Thailand.

Good they caught them though.

Please tell me what you';re on to write such a post. Must be different to all the ordinary stuff.....

So, by that logic, if someone next door is completely racist, then the answer is to be a racist in your home as well. Sound reasoning.

Ah. It was too subtle at first, actually, because most people here write that when they are playing apologist for poor police behavior. So, I misread you.

[louse1953]

Lol. I understand where ur're coming from. But they can steal cars.

Question is what percentage of tourists from a particular country are breaking the laws? Unless we know it and consider it is shown to be significant then it makes sense to ban them all even at the expense of the good ones.

Now thats racism to the max,what a pathetic comment.

[louse1953]

I wonder which bloke shelfed the loot up his blurter? I reckon it was the guy on the left, he looks more upset than the other. Im sure there would be something in islam that would forbid inserting things into ones anus

There is a lot of people on this forum obsessed with other peoples bums,gotta be some latent homosexual thoughts going on here.

Rubbish,Thai profiling Thai tourist at Ozzy visa service and do you know how many "tourists"overstay and work in Oz,tens of thousands,mostly from USA,UK,India and China,so much for experts.

It's mostly students who overstay and work in Australia. Chinese , Malaysian and Indians.

Even 5000 Americans are considered illegals in Australia.

I guess we read the same article.

The come under false pretences and stay under the radar.

Just a hole to let the rats in.

Maybe you should learn the difference between racism and bigotry / prejudice.

Amazing how many people throw around the "R" word, yet, don't really know what it means, or, when to use it.

Well there is articles stating he shoved 100,000 baht up there. No homosexual thoughts, more like astoshment and shock, if it were a man or a woman I would be in equal shock. T

he internet is full of porn. This forum would be the last place I would be seeking sexual excitement.
