I can't be bothered to look through all the recent news stories but I seem to remember some photos show faces, some do not. Yes, I remember reading about a new policy that prohibits publishing the faces a few weeks ago. Like many Thai policies, it's administered inconsistently. Immediately after the announcement of the policy, most news stories obscured the faces, or didn't publish the photos at all for a week or so. Unless the suspect was very lo-so.

Oziex1 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Charged with "Theft at Night" different than theft during the day? Well that would be Daylight Robbery as practised by many on Phuket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upon arrival at the scene ... Ahh, of course they did -- no shots were fired. Otherwise it would have been: "Upon arrival at the scene, Chinese tourists found police running down the road."
