There's a joke here about pointing and the photo not being wide enough, but I won't go there.

Why weren't the man and woman, who were also arrested, in on the photo shoot ?

[happy chappie]

Why do we see so many arrests and never the follow up or outcome of these crimes.i see they locked up the street racers in hua hin but what happened to the old age granny bashers.did they get bail or 500 baht fine and a lift home.

[happy chappie]

I now know why there's so much crime in los.the coppers are too busy doing photo shoots all day.if you asked any of them what is a detective? Their answer would be something that don't work properly.

No mention of a possible death sentence for the Thai 'gang members' ?

No mention of a possible death sentence for the Thai 'gang members' ?

My thoughts also, they were quick to announce that 2 Malaysians will get the death sentence for less. Maybe the death sentence only applies to foreigners.

Are the ones sitting at the table cops and the perps are in the rear with their faces covered?? Seriously what is the point of being in the photo point out and being unrecognizable. Isn't it the Thai way of thinking that you are in the photo to get recognition for doing something...... so why the cover up?? They could have used a painting of police , painted on the back wall with the same results ... Yeah I know they are undercover and don't want to blow their cover, so why be their at all? Are they that ugly that they have to cover up and put them behind all the rest so as not to ruin some smiles?

The two twins in the picture are probably just hired drivers, insignificant actors. The woman arrested has a last name that suggests she comes from a minority village north of the town of Fang that has, historically, had its members immune from prosecution even after decades of involvement in the heroin trade.

..no mention of the death penalty as announced for a foreigner recently.....???

Utter nonsense.

In the past decade plus, only Thais have been executed.

Death Row is, of course, full of Thais.

You really do have to wonder about some posters.
