Caught operating a Pyramid scheme?

How very wrong you appear to be!! The Thaiger website I found using Google lists 44 team members including Thais, foreigners and 17 WOMEN Their office Thaiger Office Asoke Towers, Sukhumvit Soi 21 Bangkok Reference: https://thethaiger.com/our-team scroll down to the bottom where you will find "meet the team"," contact us" etc.

Well I never:

For reference. The Thaiger was formerly the Phuket Gazette. (Wikipedia) The Thaiger Newspaper Description The Phuket Gazette was a weekly English-language compact newspaper published in Phuket, Thailand by The Phuket Gazette Co. Ltd., at Gazette Square in Koh Kaew. The paper was established in 1993 by John Magee, and Rungtip Hongjakpet. Wikipedia Publisher: The Phuket Gazette Co Ltd.

With respect, yes indeed and coal gas contains hydrogen (Google) Common characteristic of coal-derived gases is to be chiefly composed of hydrogen which in- cludes high amounts of energy. In addition to this, coke oven and town gases comprise of near about methane of 25 % that is essential component of natural gas.

Well I never - like Corporal Jones Butchers Van (Dads Army, UK comedy):

I wonder if they come here often?

Yes indeed, and not just Thai Boxing. Sadly it is a worldwide problem in many different sports, as I know very well. For over 25 years I was a qualified football (soccer) referee registered with the English Football Association. Although never physically abused, other than being spat at and a few pushes, the verbal and mental abuse was at times horrendous eg. phone calls to my house and scathing media reports, not about my ability to referee but the result of the game and blaming me - just as above with the Thai boxing referee. I could go on at length, but I will end with one incident where myself and my 2 assistant referees (linesmen in those days) had an armed police escort off the pitch after an U-18 International Youth Match between a Brazilian team and a Ugandan team. At the final whistle, the Brazilian team lost and all hell let loose with people running onto the pitch from all directions. Fortunately Brazilian Police Officers were on site and they escorted us back to the dressing room and eventually into our minibus. The spectators anger, I did not keep adding on extra time for the Brazillians to score!!!

From my time with the Thai Tourist Police, I believe an arrest warrant/court order is requird to bring an individual to the police station for questioning in relation to a crime (e.g. for fraud etc.) For street/bar brawls, as we have read about recently in Pattaya and Phuket, arrest warrants are not required, the perpetrators can be arrested on site and taken in for processing. In the UK, Citizens have the power of arrest known as "Citizens Arrest", but it is rarely used with people leaving it to the Police:- You can make an arrest if the suspect is actually committing the offence or if you reasonably suspect them of committing it, or when the offence has been committed and you reasonably suspect them of having committed it. There is no specific wording to use when making a citizens arrest. However you must inform the person you are arresting as soon as possible what you are doing, why you are doing it and what offence you believe the person has committed. https://www.westyorkshire.police.uk/ask-the-police/question/Q508#:~:text=You can make an arrest,when making a citizens arrest.

Gobble gobble, gobble gobble!!

Junta military personnel are kept in captivity unless they defect to the rebel "freedom" forces. Weapons, ammunition and other military equipment are taken and used by the "freedom fighters". Junta Generals who lose and surrender, face the death penalty from their own Junta's terrorist organization the Tatmadaw. Civilian personnel working for the Junta are kept in custody, and in a few instances, some have been murdered for collaborating with the Junta leading to the arrest/death of "freedom" fighters. I will not quote specific references as there are so many. Do a Google search.
