Out of interest, can anyone explain to me why this ladies face is clear but the two men who robbed foreigners the other week had their faces blocked out? Just wondering.

Clearly this lady has poor social standing and zero clout ...

Yup. Looking or being a Chao Le is no advantage. White skin is a plus dealing with police or officials. Sad but true.

As both stories came from The Phuket News is it something to do with them? I find it hard to believe it's just about the colour of someone's skin .If anyone from The Phuket News is reading, please can you clarify.

Either because this woman didn't care about the publicity, or, much more likely, she wasn't aware that she could object to having her identity exposed in such a manner.

That would be sad if it were true.

Because it opens yet another debate on pixilated/non- pixilated faces. You must be gutted she wasn't pointing as well- that's another sub-thread.

This one "robbed" a Thai, as you can see there is a Thai ID card.

This is worse than "robbing" or steeling from foreigners what is a national game in LOS.
