The almost casual nature of the shooting was astonishing.

Might have been "pros".

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.

And drive around with a "private plate"  "911"

I would feel rather more comfortable if it did.

Someone was anyway...

So some cash changed hands for the Porche but it wasn't delivered ?

Which one, red or white, or both?

The way the assailant was waiting and observing his hit. The killers timing was executed very well this was no amateur. Two shots to the head.

Definitely  a pro .....me thinks 

 

[Spaniel]

Sad ending but my feeling he was certainly up to no good.

"Move to a country that has rule of law." where would that be?

[BlindMagician]

But if we Falang all look the same, ...Oh, run, hide. Was he a criminal? Was he a lost tourist going native?

[Brigante7]

So if he was involved in boiler room scams then I'm sure the gullible people he scammed won't be to upset.

Professional job.

Boiler room guys don't get much sympathy from me. Especially those driving a Porsche!

Wish the same justice applied to corrupt public servants and politicians.

Seems some fell victim of his antics, which I wouldn't call Britishness.

Business (dodgy) deal gone wrong, prob illegally gained funds. Driving around in a Porsche in Pattaya.

Need I say more.

 

.....yes ; am not clairvoyant...

Wonder if the Porche was to be delivered. First it was white owned by a little old lady, now red and he wasn't no little old lady.

The Thai-bashing policeman strikes yet again.

I don't wish to alarm you either, but this is THAI Visa Forum discussing a killing in Thailand, not "in other countries".

I think that's a crock of s...! If anything, by being moneyed here you will likely garner respect than in most places of the world. It is how you get that money that is the issue and if there are dodgy dealings -- as I believe the OP alludes -- or you've stepped on toes, then it it not one of the best places to be. 

[Dogmatix]

It is understood that the police are investigating the links between the deceased and foreign 'boiler room' gangs in Pattaya.  If police are aware that foreign boiler room gangs are operating in Pattaya, why haven't they arrested them?  That's a rhetorical question.

Andorra with a population of 8000 people is unlikely to have many murders due to its sparse population
