jaywalker Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 It's quite obvious that Thailand needs stricter knife control legislation, as it was obviously the knife that did the killing & not the maniac wielding it.

EnglishJohn Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Shinawatra Tower. Hmmmm Must be Mr.T and the red shirts! No chance. The master coward hides abroad and the lower cowards only fire M79's or AK47's from moving trucks. Remember his promise to return and be at the front line in 2010 Knives are just for killing each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe RTP should be forced to respond in to these reports and attach follow up reports, until a case can be closed with acceptable justice served. Transparency and accountability - no more smoke and (dirty) mirrors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParadiseLost Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 You can see the future of Bangkok already, never will one be able to wander the streets at night, and during the day rich tourists will move from hotel to mall, to mall, to mall... without ever seeing a street. They now just need to incorporate a temple or two into the malls and it will truly be nirvana! The wealth gap is becoming more obvious every day.

alphaflight Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Sure the case is quiet, no one has even heard about it. Be careful though when posting something like this or demanding justice. May get up to 8 years for that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. But what does that tell you. I've heard the police in the UK are coming over to Canada by the shiploads, because the place has become too dangerous to work........

Lupatria Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Chiang Mai: Bag Snatcher Arrests, Nine Thefts Reported in One Day · One killed in brawl between vocational students · Man stabbed to death on Paholyothin road in iPad robbery · Women Accused of Drugging Farangs with Xanax-Spiked Breasts · Large quantity of weapons and drugs seized in week long anti-crime campaign Assuming this is just the tip of the iceberg- impressing record for three days! Makes me wonder if the TAT staff is already on a Loy Krathong leave and forgot about to copy and paste the usual “Thailand is safe newsletter.” note: "happens elsewhere too replies will be ignored!"

RIP to the deceased. do you mean stricter such as the gun control laws in thailand? everyone knows that you cannot buy a gun in thailand, that the gun control laws are very strict. In your dreams! every tom dick and harry except for falangs owns a gun! these cowards never heard of fighting it out with their fists, they only know weapons!

lostmebike Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Chaps, these kind of robberies that result in death have unfortunately been happening globally for years. I even remember gangs killing people for their trainers(sneakers) in London some 20 odd years ago. Unique to Thailand, no. Unfortunate, yes. RIP young man.

vicio Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Stolen iPad and iPhone can't be used. In fact, only he owner can activate or reset the device. Apple tracks serial numbers of any reported lost device. If you find a lost iPad or iPhone you can try to give back to the owner if he installed Find My Phone and he's aware that he lost the devices, or you can give to an Apple Store, or to the Police. The only risk that a thief steal an Apple Device that is not aware of the lock, so please broadcast around that it's impossible to crack a stolen iPad, iPhone.
