In the midst of arguing with Wannalop, Sudteerak said she became so angry that she grabbed the key from his patrol motorcycle and ran off.Police spent several hours searching in vain for Sudteerak and the key, until the woman showed up about 6pm at the Phlap Phla Chai Police Station to return the key, pay her 600 baht parking fine and apologize. She told reporters that she regretted her actions.Full story: http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1447312420 -- Khaosod English 2015-11-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod reborn Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 How do you illegally park a motorcycle in Thailand? Or was the police officer clamping her bike, because she was parked in the space where the police officer usually illegally parks his bike?

siliconvalley Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Wow. I really can understand this lady. And of course, I can understand the Thai police. On one hand I say treat me the same way you treat Thais. Now she understands how farangs are treated. The cop is enforcing the law equally. Is this good? For me, here is this lady who just got off work. Either 7-11 or doing the horizanal hoola hoop. All the money she made that day is gone. Would I go ballistic? Yeah. At times I get so angry and mock the inequity. Now, I feel otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the money she made that day is gone. Why do you suggest that she works either in a 7-11 or that she is a prostitute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many streets in Bangkok also don't allow parking on one side or the other depending on whether it's an even or odd numbered day of the month, and the law applies to cars and motorbikes.

rondii Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 And once again I have to realize that all too many adult Thais are immature children totally incapable of controlling their emotions.

northernphil Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I wonder which one is the runner, the skinny, taller 7 or the Tom (no score)? How can we tell if they don't point. Exactly ! the Tom looks like the key holder but the girl looks like a good runner. Unless she is a GiB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alboxblue Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 So the police won`t prosecute, if an illegal act is committed in a momentary rage. Would this defense work for a farang? Obviously, if there is no case to answer, there is no need for pointing in the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
