Try the arithmetic test one more time. Consider it a retake.

They are going to through the book at him. The strongest penalty available. Inactive post.

Maybe the member needs an eye test, not an "arithmetic test."

Thai men are so brave ,just like the 4 Thai men that wanted to fight me until my friend turned up ,they didn't like the odds of 2 to 1 and left ,4 to 1 and they wanted it,

Why has his face been hidden ? He is not a minor. And how many others need to be in the photo ? Ridiculous .....

I would love for once to read the story "Grand Mother excused after explaining why she beat to death her terrible" always stealing her money" grand children

The way the police dress, it is hard to tell the cops from the criminals.

...ok what height is ?

Maybe the member needs an eye test, not an "arithmetic test."

To all concerned about his height.he would of looked 6ft to the little old lady if she didn't have a boot in the eye.lets just call it 1.68 meters 5ft 6in....

RIP to grandmother and hope this scum get's what is owed to him.

Now to all the mathematicians here. 6 feet is just a shade under 183cm..i know because I'm 183cm / just a shade over 6 feet...if i haven't had a haircut for a while. Duke of Udon..if you were a brickie for 35 years, that's a lot of houses coming up short .... by at least 2.88 cm..more if they were taller than 6 feet. just saying

If you look at the markings he is about 1.66m. The markings go 1.5 then 1.55 to 1.6 etc

Threatened with a knife? That gun on your hip is not just for show or for knocking the tops off beer bottles. Take it out and shoot the low life. Aim for the spot between the eyes. Then you do not even have to fight him in his struggle. The rescuers will just put him in a bag.

There are eight of them in the picture. None of them had a billy club? If I had to take on someone with a knife I'd like to have a good stick. Captured him "with the help of civilian neighbors." Yeah, I can see how that would work.

Why has his face been hidden ? He is not a minor. And how many others need to be in the photo ? Ridiculous .....

Let's hope it's hidden because of the two black eyes and a swollen lip (he fell down the steps on his way to the cells m'lord).

Well over 1.7? 1.7 isn't even showing in the photo. Seems you have been short changing people for over 35 years

The Duke of Udon is a professional builder, and deserves a little more respect. A real pro can make accurate visual measurements without resorting to a tape measure.

Look at the quality of the workmanship of this house he built last week:

Another example of Thai manhood that Thailand can be really proud of. I agree with a poster that when he got out the knife it would have been a good chance for the cops to "do" him.
