They are still sitting on death row and waiting for a supreme court decision, which was due 10 month ago. Anything can happen in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardinalblue Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Must pay all vet bills, beat him like a dog while in detention (impersonating a grab driver) and then deport him for no less than 5 years.... you judge a culture on how one treats their animals...

SteveK Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 This has nothing to do with the fact that the guy hit a dog, the crime could have been anything. It's about the police seizing an easy opportunity to get some money and deport a farang at the same time, win-win for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
