It really does depend where their base is. Everyone is assuming it is on the island itself. Do you think it is small fry when they get 20-30% of all public and private develoments? The mayor of pattaya got 200m tea money baht for an automated car park, that doesn't work, will be pulled down, and another one built in its place with more graft money to him. They have massive fortunes. If they are running more than just that little island they will be proper loaded and with that comes proper power.Originally Posted by Davis Knowlton
Oh, and Eggyfozzy - the man pulling pints in the bar no doubt owned by the local family thugs..... was just a barman henchman. He was probably filming and holding down the poor girl whilst his boss raped her, and then dealt with the distraction of the guy trying to help her. It's the Thai way - thai culture.
Operating on the same level? A barman on ko Tao and high ranking mainland officers investigating the highest profile case the country has seen for a while? They're not even in the same ball park let alone playing the same game when it comes to power and influence.
Go back and read the examples Necron gave about people 1000 times more connected than these scrotes on Ko Tao, who although not punished as they may have been in the West certainly weren't allowed to get off scot-free.
How do High Ranking officers get to be in those positions? I realise you know nothing about thailand having only been here for about 6 weeks, but they BUY the positions. Bribery and graft all the way. Corruption. These bangkok cops are not their because they are good at the job - its because they handed over the most money and in return then get more from the trickle up corruption from street level from piss pot places like koh tao. Its a criminal pyramid scheme, they buy in to higher levels, and in return get more money in return. When they stuff up, they can not be sacked because they have paid so much for the job in the first place. Murder? Oh, best put him in an cushy job out of the limelight. The locsal top cop round my area is being moved on by the Navy due to him being a blatant crook. As a result, we have endured 2 weeks of round the clock road blocks and fleecing money from us - he wants to get more money before he leaves.
Stop comparing thai police with CSI - they are all a bunch of corrupt crooks.
Not the point. Lots of people dodge jail in car deaths, with or without corruption.
He did not get away with trying to have the house worker take the blame, even with the local police general in his pocket.
He paid a stack of compensation.
He still has a range of charges against him pending before the courts.
Hows all that mafia protection and influence working out in Phuket these days?
Mayor of patong and his family banged up, all those "protected" rackets and businesses ripped down. Do they get a refund on all the bribes they paid?
I don't see anyone disputing that Pseudo, but this case is something of a pain in the ass for them. There is just way too much scrutiny, and they probably have the PM...(aka General of the Army) booting them in the ass to not embarrass him and his Junta in front of the entire world.
I'm inclined to think the BIB would be quite willing to round up even a relatively powerful crook or two under such circumstances. Promotions and a lot of face to be saved here.
^^^^ You've dealt in nothing but presumptions the whole thread. 'No doubt' this and 'I bet' the other. All of it exaggerated and born from your anger, frustration and disdain for the way Thailand is.
How many people need to disagree with you before you realise you opinions are distorted with bias.
Necron - it is the bloody point.
You're examples - red bull boy. High on coke, drunk, hits a cop, drags him along the ground until he is mince meat, goes home, gets lawyer who calls top cop who tries to fit up the driver, and then in the end buys his way out of it. Free as a bird. Pending in court? Quietly forgotten about. Never spent a minute in a jail cell. You try doing that?
Kamnan Poh - most likely free as a bird still, but his family are still running Chon Buri and profitting massively from it all.
Your examples - both of them proving that corruption will get you off the hook for anything in this cess pit of a country.
Phuket? Likely didn't pay their dues. Pattaya is business as usual even though the army and navy has been threatening it for months. Money and graft talks and if they don't play the game they get a bit of trouble. When they do, they are untouchable.
Eggsandwich - I said at the start the police would know who it is, that they would be Thai, connected somehow through blood or money to the local cops and this was all a charade to throw people off the scent. Pretty fucking accurate I would say. Where as necron lives in Kansas, you know nothing of THailand. Why you are on this board I have no idea, but still you persist, and are consistently wrong.Originally Posted by Fozzy
Again, spot on. Nobody is suggesting they would be doing it out of job satisfaction or professionalism, but to suggest they wouldn't do it at all because of the system they operate in is beyond ridiculous.
They will bang up any two bob gangster they need to if it helps their cause, which under new junta rule and under immense media scrutiny it will.
Redbull boy had to go in exile and still has charges pending.
Hardly scot free.
And your assertion that they can just deflect the blame was wrong.
He tried and failed. Why?
Kamnan Poh, his family may be doing ok, but he had to go on the run in Cambo for 10 years and the minute he came back he was arrested.
Why did she have to run, why was he arrested when he came back?
If it's all so easily done, why was he in trouble in the first place? Money, influence, power, he had it all.
According to you they just have to wave a few million baht around and it all goes away.
In both cases, it hasn't has it? Both of them could have ponied up 100's of millions of baht with no problem, but it still didn't go away........
Koh Tao Murders: Police arrest one suspect, launch manhunt for another
PHUKET: Police have arrested the brother of a local village chief on Koh Tao for the brutal slaying of British tourists David Miller and Hannah Witheridge last week (story here).
Region 8 Police Commander Panya Mamen named the man arrested only as “Mon”, reported Thai PBS.
Local officers are coordinating with Bangkok Metropolitan Police to hunt down a second suspect, the son of the same village headman, Lt Gen Panya said.
The man is believed to have fled the island and to be hiding in the capital. However, officers expect to apprehend him today.
Lt Gen Panya said both suspects were captured on CCTV cameras and that police had gathered enough evidence to implicate them in the murders.
He also assured that any persons who assisted the suspects in evading arrest would also face justice.
Gen Panya refuted media reports that scapegoats would be arrested for the murders.
He also dismissed any suggestion that local mafias or influential people could subvert justice.

Seriously off topic and you will have to delete all this no doubt, but he was allowed to go to Singapore, by the cops, same as brother of village chief crook will do the same (having been given 4 days notice of his arrest).hes in thailand now and no court date for his Speeding Fine because he was not speeding apparently. If you did what he did, you would never have seen the outside of the prison from minute one after you were caught.
Kamnan Poh - arrested... and then released and carries on as before. It has all gone away. For both of them.
You're weird. You write exactly what I write, but trying to put a spin on it to disprove the facts you are actually writing. Drunk?
Ah ha - so some random man gets arrested thenOriginally Posted by snakeeyes
going to be interesting watching this court case. Guilty plea, random in jail for 3 minutes and walks out the back door.
Ahha - So one might ponder as to why two thai blokes were threatening him.... if that is allowed EggyFozz... could these two characters about to be arrested actually have nothing to do with it, and were threatening this jock after catching him with his fingers in a place they should not have been?
Right - so this is not exactly very easy to follow DK. SO far, we have a bar man, brother of clan chief, and another guy, brother of clan chief, some random speed boat guy who was found in a cave all as the named suspects? Except they are not actually Named (very unusual for Thailand I'm sure you would agree) Other news reports say it is the brother and son of the village head. By the way, what are the full names of the Village Chief and son / brothers or what ever the hell they are - I can not seem to find that but assume you know.
Speedboat guys have been cleared. Snakeeyes excels in posting two new reports behind the latest.
