TallGuyJohninBKK Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) lost weight already...good exercise program, I guess... That's what I thought too... In the OP photo above, he looks a LOT thinner than the past photos when I saw him in uniform. Maybe it's just because he's no longer wearing all the ribbons and brass on his chest... Wonder if he'll he be quietly pardoned some years down the road? Kind of hard to believe a high ranking Thai police official would ever end up spending his full sentence in a Thai prison. They just don't do it that way, here. Edited April 2, 2015 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
