Just1Voice Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 A Phuket lawyer. Isn't he the guy who had his boat capsize, and as he tried to swim to shore with others, the sharks attacked everyone but him. When he reached the shore someone commented on his amazing escape from the sharks. "Not really," he replied with a smile. "More like professional courtesy."

NongKhaiKid Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 hope they checked his blood alcohol levels. Chest pains, instant excuse for not being able to take a breath test, or not being asked to do so. I wonder if the hospital doctor was consulted on any problem with him taking the test or supplying blood ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
