Makes me wonder how many of the countless trigger happy maniacs in this country, leaving home with a gun, and come home at night surprised by the fact they didn't shoot anyone today.

Many times i have seen off duty policemen in their white vests drinking alcohol in roadside stalls and with their guns in open view.

Committed suicide if farang's . Never mind khun mare and por " problem solved next week police will say sorry wrong guys we picked up 2 or 3 burmese guys " after a week they confessed .

Really , you didn't expect a male Thai to fully own up to anything 

Another casualty of a failed drug war.

Krathom is about as psychoactive as Red Bull, safer than cigarettes and not a tenth as dangerous as alcohol but it's prohibited and the laws are strict enough to cause shootouts on the street.
