[Go-go Bar Guards on Pattaya Walking Street Allegedly Attack Russian Man Who Refused to Pay His Bill]

And I've been a Walking Street patron for years, have NEVER had a problem. I do check my bin every time they refresh it with a new round of drinks, so maybe they know I'm keeping my eyes on it?

Was at the first bar on the left as you walk into walking street. Paying for drinks as I went. As I was leaving they tried to give me a long bill for drinks I had not consumed. Local copper and tourist police outside were obviously in on it. Pommy tourist cop said if you don’t pay they will take you to the police station. I began recording and hopped into the back of the pickup and said let’s go. Pommy cop said, fair play was worth a try and let me go.

[Police commander orders urgent investigation into tourist police clip of luggage assistance]

I was at Kohn Kaen airport when the usual farcical police escort rolled up and a group of what looked like normal tourists hopped out. Police came from everywhere carrying the passengers bags and one even went and got a coffee for one of them. Was a real keystone cops caper. Also the immigration officer in uniform picking me up from the gate when I pay for fast track. That I didn’t mind, got me past all the other fasttrackers

Sorry, but if you are being abused daily by “bad drivers who are in the wrong” on a daily basis, maybe they are not the ones in the wrong?

in yesterday's story they both travelled to bangkok by road and took a taxi to the airport.

There was a picture of one of them leaving taxi without any luggage.

I would not think that professional assassins wouldn't fly, as their name would be exposed. They had chance to leave Phuket immediately by bridge by any mean of transport, collect their luggage and travel to bangkok by road.

In the story above, the body was found in the parking lot, in another story in a swimming pool.

Basic facts don't match

 

Yesterday’s story only said they travelled from Phuket to Bangkok and  caught a taxi to Suvarnabhumi.

 

 

“Yesterday RTP chief Pol Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk admitted they had travelled from Phuket to Bangkok and taken a taxi to Suvarnabhumi airport.”
