I am sure he will have more sleepless nights worrying about what to tell his wife as to why he was in a Me Style Place hotel room and with whom........

More from the OP:

"Kananek is the father of Kanpithak “Mooham” Patchimsawat, 26, who was arrested in 2007 for throwing a rock at a bus driver after the bus cut in front of him and then ramming his Mercedes into a bus stop, killing one woman who was waiting for the bus in front of Soi Sukhumvit 26.

Mooham was originally sentenced to 10 years and 1 month jail term but appealed the case.

His punishment was commuted to two years in 2013 when he told to the court he suffered from mental illness and could not control himself. He has been put on probation and has still not served his jail term"

It's not particularly nice, to celebrate others misfortune......but in this case, i guess there is only one thing to say: Karma.


Would be nice to see that crazy kid, do some time though

Check his facebook, for an old dude - he has quite a few young lady's added recently.....most of them with a larger chest, than you average "Noi" or "Lek"

[trogers]

Perhaps his offspring mental state really comes from defective genes of a drug addict.

[Anthony5]

Isn't his wife in some way related to the Central group?

Another dysfunctional rich Thai family. A few even richer ones spring to mind immediately.

[NongKhaiKid]

i can imagine the battery in his mobile phone overheated with all the calls he made to try and call in favours.and make the charge go away.

[Briggsy]

There are lots of senior police in that family and when I say senior, I mean very senior. Definitely more to this that meets the eye. I am not saying there were no drugs but I cannot understand how he was even arrested in Thailand. That could certainly be described as "not normal".

[z42]

This made me laugh out loud. Face has been lost and it'll be very hard to regain. Considering his bigoted comments about the psyche of the average citizen. Simply confirms that he is even more of a neanderthal than he even appeared back then, and massively more so than those who he publicly tried to denounce.

Som nam na

Nice family.

[Paulc01]

The tree doesn't grow far from the nut.

[jacky54]

If his son never spent a night in prison for deliberately killing a bus passenger with his car then what hope is there of his dad getting anything other than a slapped wrist?

I was thinking the same thing.

It might be a clean up, among people who support the wrong people, and/or things we can't discuss, like the case of Lt Gen. Pongpat, that had absolutely nothing to do with "cleaning up corruption".

One thing is for sure, under "normal" circumstances, guys like this don't get named and shamed, for a measly 1g of Yaa'Ice.

Very HiSo family

[rkidlad]

Oh! The face that must have been lost. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

[bkkgooner]

Seems like a political thing, people like don't get arrested for stuff like this unless someone had a vendetta against them

If my memory is correct:

- He separated / divorced the wife / mother of mooham a long time age.

- That wife was a previous Miss Thailand or something similar.

- When the son deliberately (in a rage) ran over people, one or two killed, the father refused to talk to their families saying that he did not want to mix with low class uneducated people.

[jacky54]

Assume he is a coup supporter?

[jacky54]

- When the son deliberately (in a rage) ran over people, one or two killed, the father refused to talk to their families saying that he did not want to mix with low class uneducated people.

So what sort of people are caught in a seedy hotel with a class A drug? I wonder if he said 'don't you know who I am'?

He did not complete his sentence, "...unless they are wearing short tight skirts".

That last point makes me sick to my stomach. People want to act like the poor of this county are unruly thugs when it's the filthy rich getting away with murder because of the sway they hold.

This is also political like pongpat. Crossed the wrong people.

Like many Thai's, I'm quite sure he won't have ANY sleepless nights worrying about the "wife" ... she knows the score.

Simple, the "Police" aren't in charge at the moment ... their "influence" has been diminished somewhat.

[geriatrickid]

Who'd did he cross? This has the characteristics of entrapment and a settling of accounts all over it.

Not that I'm complaining as it couldn't have happened to a more deserving chap, but........................

[garrya]

What a huge haul. Now Thailand is safer. Thank you.

[WhizBang]

So it would seem that the 'Purge' continues.

Entrapment??? Please explain how he innocently came to be in a hot-sheet hotel with a bag of drugs and a hooker?

[halloween]

Seems having Chalerm's number on speed dial and a fat brown envelope just don't work like they used to.
