Colin, you and many others have been in Thailand long enough to know that protecting the public is not one of the RTPs primary tasks. It should be of course but not in Thailand. Luckily the lady was not killed and hopefully she will survive. As for him, well , who cares as it is just another nutter in a uniform who is now out of harms way. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenmonkey Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 This is the third case of a policeman murdering his lover/wife in the last week or so in Thailand. What on earth is wrong with these people!!!??? Why can't they just walk away. Very sad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A police uniform doesn't automatically make a person less human and thus less susceptible to the same stress and mental problems that pervade pretty much any country. Wasn't there a soldier who lost the plot in Korat last year and shot up a weekend shopping mall, killing 27 victims?

The same types who jump red lights, cut the corner, jump the queue at lights to turn right, double park etc. I really don't see how you guys can stick around this loony bin any longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and that was because of corruption in the RTA to my recollection, which of course has all gone away in a puff of smoke and mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
