They probably see a large wad of cash being extracted from farang as a win.
It's just normal to them.Quote:

this is thailand, and specifically phuket, which like samui, phangan and pattaya are no more than independent fiefdoms run by and run for the local mafias that consist of the police, the politicians and the vested interests of the influential criminal enterprises there.
procedure, protocols and propriety are anathema to the phoo yais of phuket, pattaya and phangan
and do you think the local hacks have reporters rights to what goes on behind the scenes in the police stations, the courts and the private cubicles of the restaurants these phoo yais stuff their faces in.
who exactly is filling your head with this crap you spout?
don't tell me, you have been chatting to your neighbour thaksin again haven't you?
:rofl:
Good luck hoping Thailand transforms itself into your birthplace but with better weather before you die, seekingasylum.
Until then…feel the angst.
Tax, your cynicism is typical of the slouch shouldered drunks in most farang watering holes whose ignorance is only exceeded by their capacity for spouting hackneyed cliche and the rhetoric of the self appointed guru of gossip and pseudo social expert.
The NZ government through their diplomatic representation, and petitioned by the men’s family lawyers, lobbied the Thai MFA for confirmation that due process was being applied in this particular case. We know that they were remanded into the jurisdiction of the Court pending trial and that detention was authorised. In countless other cases where discreet accommodations were clearly reached the resolution was still nevertheless publicised even if details of any ex gratia payments were not.
You crepuscular dwelling old barnacled twat.
but Hua Hin is different because it is a royal resort town, eh? When was the last time the king or queen spent time in their summer Palace, tax?Quote:

The hoodlums are nowhere near as busy in HH as they are in Samui, Pattaya and Phuket.
last i heard was the petition is still lying buried under a hundred other petitions, requisitions and invoices at the bottom of some MFA penpushers intray.Quote:
