I don't understand why the water used in the water canon does not have a dye. One that remans on the body and clothing for weeks. Identification no problem. Either that or they stay off the streets.

You are not asking the correct questions

1. Who is he

2. Who does he know

3. How much $$$

Not only did he confess to this attack, he also admitted to doing this same thing on a number of other occasions.  Nice police and judicial systems we have here.  Hopefully she regains some memory and can identify him before he does this again or worse.   Perhaps some locals may have a different view of justice.

[Thammanat's wife handed job in PM’s Secretariat]

I am just surprised that someone thinks this is 'news'. It is a daily occurrence in this nepotitistic, cronyistic land.

 

Unfortunately, 60% or more of this country cannot see that the HISO are 'extracting the michael' out of them, as they prostrate themselves before a military dictatorship.

So, what's new, what's changed? This will only be 'news' when the perpetrator is dismissed, charged and gaoled. Until then it is just normal 'government business'.

MrMr, please try to read the story before commenting. It was the daughter of the deceased who stated ' he was a nice guy', not the killer. Unbelievable, no not really! 

[Red Bull "Boss" latest: Police claim cocaine was from dental treatment and suspect drank AFTER hit and run incident]

Personally, knowing and understanding the RTP's desire to ensure that ALL crimes are investigated, managed  and determined on an equal basis, I am not sure what the problem is. Surely the dedication, professionalism and desire to reach an unbiased, truthful and evidentiary compelling outcome in this matter mirrors that of HISO 16 year old (no licence) driver that killed 9 University people, and the HISO Mercedes driver that incinerated two University students. I won't mention the excellent and above reproach investigation in Koh Tao.

How can you possibly doubt the veracity of the RTP statements.  You obviously don't understand forensic policing.

Why does an economist think he knows better than medical experts , all he seems concerned with is money and not so much the health and well being of the people .

I wonder if you would be so indignant if your income was stopped. Ivory towers syndrome. 

Many people rely on their daily,  weekly,  monthly income the lack of which has not only economic but social and psychological consequences, leading possibly to depression, anxiety,  death. 

Unfortunately the people making the decisions are, possibly like you, not affected by the ramifications of lack of finances.

Neither have any validity... 

[Dual pricing: Dutch man seeking hospital justice complains nothing is happening]

The other day I visited one the BKK hospital chain. Staff excellent treatment excellent. Time taken for treatment 15 minutes, mild infection.

7 X antibiotic tablets (normal retail price for 10 = 80 THB) = 1351 THB.

Fair price that a Thai could afford...methinks not! 

[Tourists injured as van driver asleep at wheel runs red light, slams into another airport van]

I recently renewed my Thai vehicle and motorcycle licence. Part of the renewal required people to sit in a chair with two floor pedals simulating driving a vehicle. Foot on accelerator Green lights came on. When lights turned to Red person had to brake.

After three attempts the Thai in front of me would have hit the vehicle in front 3 times. It was heartening to know he normally drove a local EMS vehicle. 

This incident isn't about falling asleep but rather minimising a 'running a red light' charge!

[Meeting with immigration about TM30 and the latest news about the petition]

First,  thank you for your efforts. Interestingly my Thai wife and I attended the Korat Immigration office last week following my weekend away in Pattaya. We were told that my wife MUST submit a TM30 EVERY time I return home from an inter or intra province or international absence of more than 24 hours. Failure to do so WOULD result in a fine. 

Not quite the same as you were told...!

[Man charged with attempted murder after foreign tourist stabbed in neck in Phuket]
