Almost everyday on the local news I hear reports about people getting murdered and mutilated around the Pattaya area.When I think about it,it's very rare that the hold a 'press conferance ' showing the culprits.This can surely mean only 2 things.

1:The police are camera shy , or

2:The police don't catch them.

Are there any statistics available for clean up rates.

I know that when someone jumps from the tenth floor,with their throat cut,hands cuffed behind their back and 3 bullets in the back of their head,this is obviously suicide,but what about the others that aren't so clear cut ?

What about all the fatal crashes where drivers leg it (often leaving their vehicles behind) surely these drivers are easy to locate...aren't they ?

Is it the same all over Thailand or is Pattaya in a class of its own?

The investigative powers of the Royal Thai police are around zero.

When they do catch someone it is due to a tip off, or sheer blind luck.

The press conferences that they still hold are illegal.

Even here the constitution says you are innocent until proved guilty in court.

I dare say if you check the small print it says " enless your falang "

Maybe I spoke too soon.

I see the police arrested in the South in regard to the missing Lawyer,

have been sacked already.

Did I miss the trial?

Must have been a very quick affair.

They are not really fired, just a little bit

Once proven not guilty they will get their jobs back. Probably we never hear of that.

I gave sworn testimony in three cases, regarding thieft and fraud. Nothing was ever done. I guess because it was falang vs. falang.

Not even a name change Axel

I'm getting away with murder too! How many times can one ask questions regarding back-2-back visas? Endless I guess. I refer you to the visa section. Yawn.
