webfact Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Offenders’ heads shaved in lieu of criminal charges Phuket Gazette No legal charges were pressed against the two aspiring fishermen. Photo: Winai Sarot PHUKET: -- Two Isaan men had their hair shaved off as punishment for fishing in a pond at a temple in Chalong on Sunday morning. Kunnakorn Srikoon, 29, and Wanit Panthina, 30, were caught with fishing equipment and a turtle inside Wat Ladthiwanaram (Wat Tai) where people release fish and turtles to make merit. Supawathakan Kunlauk of Chalong Municipality and Chalong Police officers were called to witness the punishment doled out by the temple’s abbot.

Thaiwrath Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Go illegal fishing and get a free haircut. Why such publicity for such a trivial offense ? Takes the attention off the more serious cases ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roo860 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I've seen some of these ponds at temples, the bloody fish are piled on top of each other. You could fill a trawler net!!!!Sent from my SM-G920F using Thaivisa Connect mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmatix Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I wonder what they would have done if they had caught one of the many shaven headed farangs in Phuket fishing in the temple pool. Perhaps they would have dyed his head purple instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandemara Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Yum, the intense flavour of mud to look forward to. The use of the term "in lieu" as normally pronounced seems appropriate in the context of the story. Would anyone swim in the pool, let alone eat anything that came out of it? And someone once said only cockroaches would survive in a post-nuclear apocalypse world. This form of fishing is extreme survivalist training for sure.
