In other news, Chon Buri villagers alerted police about the discovery of decomposed body trapped in a pick-up truck submerged at a water hole on the outskirts of Mueang district.

The villagers were trying to use the fishnet to harvest fish. To their surprise, they got the human body instead of fish.

Lieutenant Suthiphol Klinudom went to investigate the scene, located in a private property which used to be excavated for laterite.

After checking on the vehicle, Suthiphol said he had to wait for autopsy report before deciding the next move of the police investigation.

He said the pick-up truck was reported as missing on May 5.

The body was identified as Kritpanot Chitsirichon, 42, who owned the vehicle.

Kritpanot and his truck disappeared on May 2 and his relatives filed the police complaint three days later.

What an Idiot.

This is a man that obviously can post on FB and think at the same time... what a dufus....

I'm guessing that he was doing a lot of his own product. 3 or 4 days without sleep make things very hazy.

The sad thing is that they sell to everybody. I wore my tourist police shirt two weeks ago when I bought a train ticket.

Then I could see two women making a deal, I could hear what they're saying and just tried my Thai and was shocked when they offered me one pill for 350 baht.

I also know that many students at high schools smoke and sell Jaba. Not too long ago, they gave some very young girls Jaba for free, until they thought they needed it.

But it was long planned and the very young girls between 12 and 17 had to satisfy a customer before they received their damn motherfucking pill.

Lower northeast is a real <deleted> up area. I wish it wasn't like that. More and more kids take that shit, not knowing how bad it is. Teachers don't teach about the dangers of this dirty meth.

The fact that it makes people very horny, both, or better said all three genders, makes me believe that quite a lot young girls and boys in villages get raped by uncles, brothers, etc...

Of course would nobody go to the cops. When you're living here for longer you know why not.

Would the general see that as the most important issue, not the bicycle lanes, lottery tickets, I'd at least feel a little better.

Having a 16 year old son these days makes you think a lot. Some of his classmates look like freaking junkies and it's available everywhere.

Should I go to the cops and report a woman, who's trying to sell me some pills two weeks ago?

The problem is that they never get the big fish, because some of these big fish are part of the business. And a life here's only worth around 15 K.

So everybody looks away, neither teachers report drug abuse at schools, nor do parents seem to care much. Just sad.

and pending the recounting of the undisclosed amount of cash.....

I doubt it was much cash really, he's just a tiddler, a lil' stickleback.

As to the second story...

"The villagers were trying to use the fishnet to harvest fish. To their surprise, they got the human body instead of fish."

How is this possible if the decomposed body was 'trapped' in the submerged pick-up truck? Methinks there is the waft of fish somewhere in the writing.

Wow now the Police are even getting tip-off's from the suspects.

[jerojero]

Facebook posts are like shouting it out in the street. Would this idiot have done that? Partaking too much of his own product it seems.

Well, the intelligence of some knows no bounds. What is it with some Face Book members? They obviously have no thinking gear.
