Wildliferescue Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Looks like his name is spelled wrong by the media (as usual), I believe his last name is Kenway, not Kenbay. Seems he lives in Bangkok and has a family, wife and kids, so please be civilised in your remarks online here on this page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldozer Dawn Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 If you are rich enough to own a Porsche in Thailand, don't move here. Move to a country that has rule of law. Don't fall victim to Thainess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexRich Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 It will be interesting to get the full story in the coming days. It certainly looks like a targeted 'hit' and not some random event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get more kudos here, driving a Porsche, than in a country where the rule of law is upheld but you'll also 'draw more heat'; if this was a gangland killing though, I doubt it would matter what you were driving.

Sent from my SM-G920F using Thaivisa Connect mobile app You're probably not as safe as you think you are. It's better to feel unsafe and take precautions than run around feeling safe and being caught by surprise. How safe you're going to feel probably depends on your country of origin and how much life is worth there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. It's likely to be connected to a business arrangement ... I wonder what business the guy was in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
