Thais rip into "5,000 baht for a tourist's life" check presentation

[MartiniMan 170]

disgusting and backwards a complete disgrace why isn't it ever on the world stage - they should make a mockery and run with it

They think all about 'saving face' here

What a disgusting people in charge really absolutely shameful they should be unable to look themself in the mirror. They spend more on face creams and to look like a white person.

The media said on Facebook that the money - about US 165 dollars - is to help the victim's relatives cope. 

 

That will help them a lot. Three bottles of good vodka will do the trick. 

 

   

Cold, bro. Cold.

Real question. I try google but can not find it.

 

If a foreigner tourist kills another foreigner tourist in US or Europe, how much do the police give to help?

And how much the foreigner have to give the dead foreigner family?

The key thing is that why would anybody with any self-respect wanna accept Bt 5,000 baht after a relative has died and worst even pose for such pictures??????

The young lady probably needs a new cell phone.  That amount might buy her a decent one.

RIP bloke..
Russian, Vodka, Big Bike, Death.
i see this pattern repeating.

That is about half than the excess baggage cost on Thai for 8kg BKK to Brisbane

How do they think this will "help them cope" >> how??

Everytime i read the news, the word "bizarre" keeps forming in my mind, but never more so than when I looked at the photo.

If its Britain and someone is killed on the roads regardless of where they come from the police will carry out a comprehensive investigation quite often closing the road for however long it takes to gather their evidence .. If the cause of the accident is deemed to be criminal especially if drink , drugs or using a mobile are involved then the driver will end up in court on criminal charges .. Causing death by dangerous driving at the moment carries a maximum 14 yr jail sentence but many road safety campaigners want it increased to a mandatory life sentence .. 

Compensation for the family of folk killed or people seriously injured is usually sorted out by the insurance companies .. in the case of uninsured drivers the Insurance industry still pay out from a fund that all insurance companies contribute to but that takes longer ..

Is anyone seriously suprised?

Everyone knows the terms "Big money" and "nid-noi" are interchangeable for Thais

when it suits them.

 

Give your Gf a free 5,000baht for monthly expenses...its "nid-noi"

 

They get overcharged 40baht on a restaurant bill and they are going off their noggin!
