But more often than not, it is the local franchisee who is breaking the law. But since they are totally above the law, they have complete immunity. More valuable than a diplomatic passport. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone should know that every district has it's own little "Fiefdom" of Police with license to do whatever they can get away with without bringing too much bad light down on them....... As i stated in a previous post, "get it on the right table with enough possibilities for shaming the Police or authorities and you're on a winner"...... They don't like being caught, and even less being publicly shamed....... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically lawless and the Brown uniform mob decide when the law is broken We are after all in the land of the wild wild west here. Rampant gun use, murders over perceived wrongs committed, and too many other things to even go into detail on here in such a small forum that we share. But then there are those that see it as just living life, and that is because of where they have come from. You move to a place such as Thailand and you learn to adapt, overcome and try your best to blend in. If you do not, then you don't last very long before this place eats you up, spits you out, or you give in and go home.....But then I think everyone of us knows what to expect or else we would be foolish to believe otherwise. Just my 2 cents.. Edited May 9, 2020 by ThailandRyan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post yuyiinthesky Posted May 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2020 Of course it was a misunderstanding. The wife misunderstood that she was allowed to make the extortion public. It is her fault, as a Thai she should have known better. The only reason why she got away without getting arrested and without more payments, more trouble was probably that she knows an MP, and the MP's lawyer was with her at the meeting. Everybody living in Thailand and especially in Pattaya for a while knows someone who had this pleasant extortion experience, knows that the extortion part of the story is business as usual in Pattaya, and you are expected to shut up after you paid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBVIOUSLY, the money was not the issue here Why can you not accept the fact that she found her soul mate, and he is the one and only for her. Who knows how long they have been together, but does it really matter to what difference there age is. She obviously stands by her man as the old Tammy Wynette songs says...

SupermarineS6B Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Extortion ? Stand back ! A few years ago i got a call from an X of mine who i hadn't seen for a while. She informed me that she was in the court holding cells at Ratchada and that she'd been there a week and could i come down and spring her ? Yeah ok, what have you done ? Drugs was the answer, Oooh, how much was my question and which nick had pulled you ? She then informed me that it wasn't her fault it was the coppers who had turned up at the house she was renting a room off whom they suspected of having some naughty substances for sale...... The coppers entered my friends room and as she told me, "One just dropped a pill on the floor in front of me and asked what it was ?" She replied nothing to do with her and she'd just watched him drop it..... Oh contrare.... He then stated that it was hers and it was going to be twenty thousand baht or it was "Choky" time ........ Knowing my X full well she'd be all on scraping up twenty baht hence her current forced imprisonment... Had a chat with the "right" individual who informed me that it would of been better if i hadn't come as the price goes up "When they see a farang", then i had to part with the required amount to spring her right away....... Big smiles and Wais all round....... Extortion...... Lower than a snakes rectum ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 my guess on this is the 2,000thb was returned and the 50,000thb was reclassified to fine from bail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumarianson Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 She would not be happy to walk out of there without all the money for the nice things she said. You have to see she is an intelligent woman and not uneducated. Plus she had an MP behind her and yet the possibility of further bad international relations. I wonder if it were a bunch of Chinese tourists would they risk the economic fallout that would ensue with their arrests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zyphodb Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Just goes to show the level of contempt that these gangsters in brown have for aliens, extort 80 odd year old foreigners who have probably already propped up the Thai economy up more than most locals. But of course if you tried to explain the harm that they were doing to the country by things like this they wouldn't get it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
