They will have checkpoints actively looking for the escapees on the most likely routes right away. You want to get out of the immediate area without being seen (the immediate area has too many people that may recognize them), but you don't want to be out in the open for too long as the search area makes it more likely to be caught... you want to hide out for a while with no contact with anyone that can out you and let the search area widen and quiet down a bit before you try to move out. If I were him, I would have run to Bangkok where there are so many farang that you might be able to blend in and lie low while the heat is on... Agree with first part of your logic. In Bangkok he would probably be spotted by the many farangs there and reported; it's always useful to curry favour with the authorities. Don't forget, almost every farang is a brilliant detective from what we read on Thaivisa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallen52 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 50,000 reward!!! Great incentive to dob someone in. I think not.... Attempted murder. You can share a much safer reward for grassing on someone smoking on the beach.. Surely they can't be serious. And dont call me Shurley..55 This is Thailand...

Or were you under the impression mug shots were glamor shots ? I can read between the lines. I can even identify a diamond in the rough. There ain't no diamond here.

That's what food sellers and Thai massage shops have tried to tell me when I've complained they were trying to charge me more than Thais. So size matters? That's what I've been doing wrong all these years in believing them saying that it was 12". You just cut my 'fun' expenditure in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man has been arrested, charged with a crime, and you are advocating and supporting him after a serious crime against an officer of the court.
