Yes and he would probably take a passenger jet down.i once see a video of a few thai coppers letting loose with a shower of bullets and missing the baddie by miles.in fact you would of thought the baddie had to be a ghost for him not to get hit.

Most of these motortaxis are basically illegitimate children of police, army or govt servants that studied at the technical colleges famous for gangs of cowards ie most of them need to bring their fellow buddies home to help consummate their nuptial vows on their marriage nights even, as by themselves alone, their single appendages are too small for anything, hence they need cowardly group power. All of the above assumes the police are serious about their work, competent, and concerned. Why would you assume any of that? The police here are essentially franchisees.

Bangkok Barry Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I used to live off of that Soi and used the market where they are fighting, and used those mototaxi drivers often. I'm very happy I don't live there now. My wife said it was okay that the police did nothing, as there were not enough of them, Her brother is a policeman, so she might be biased, To her, it was okay for them just to stand there while people were being shot dead. Thailand has the police force it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnOFphon Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I wonder if the gun used by the motorcycle taxi was supplied by one of the cops?? I am sure they will do a ballistics test on the bullet and see if it matches any pistol carried by the "officers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that I wouldn't have a problem with that in this situation, especially since an innocent bystander was shot and killed during this confrontation.

oldrunner Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Who is the Mafia King who controls the "taxi" vests at every corner? I've heard numbers such as 85,000 Baht. There is a limit to number of drivers per location. As to the action/inaction of the police, a few well aimed shots to legs might well quell the boys enthusiasm. A murder charge should be made in the case of the "accidental" bullet. The Thai police are controlled by bigger Thai police crooks. This is known from the lowest private to the highest Generals. Thai culture, give me a break. Other than the Royal parades. etc. Thai culture is what ever the STREET says it is. I, nor my family go to many areas of Bangkok and none of Pattaya. I feel sorry for the good police officers trying to do a good job who are STEPPED on when they do.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postmaster Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 These guys are extremely teritorial. There are too many motorcycle taxi teams and for some reason they believe they above the law. Work is probably dwindling and another team closeby may be attracting some of their fares. Its a dead end job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. The only explanation for police activity is that captains or higher ranking are appointed on the basis that they promise to not change a thing in the police culture in Thailand.

bannork Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Enclosed is the cost of a motorcycle jacket in various areas of Bangkok. Now you have to think who gets this money, and of course the driver can't afford to pay such large sums upfront. it's a case of monthly installments in many instances. Bangsue, Ban Khunthien -in the soi- 30,000-50,000 baht At the front of the soi where it meets the main road- 50,000-100,000 (Tha Phra 60,000, Bangna 60,000, Bangsue-70,000 baht) Business areas- 100,000-800,000 baht Jatujak 100,000, Meuang Thong Thani 150,000, Huay khwang 300,000, Thong Lor 350,000, Khlong toei 400,000 baht, Asoke 800,000 baht.

Lets them know you are serious and can hit what you are aiming at. This would work OK: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
