catinthehat Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Looks to me based on his stature that like he could just tear it apart with his bare hands. The Junta definitely gets irritated when explosives come into play. Even flares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that these are people who chase all you can eat 99 baht buffets. They also chase questionably legal sex trade workers in Boyztown and on walking street. They are in for a shock in Hua Hin; no visible transvestite hookers, no boiler rooms to work in, no hairless boys and girls to molest, no chain smokers with guts and yellowed false teeth like them, no one wearing thongs or wife beater singlets etc. The chavs, yobs, slobs and mental cripples will feel as out of place in Hua Hina as they did back in their school days when no one wanted anything to do with them and girls laughed at them. The Russian came when he had money. Based upon his criminal act in Hua Hin, criminality is not out of character for him and I anticipate that his original source of funds wasn't gained from a reputable business undertaking. Lock up your sons,daughters,mums and aunties,the Pattaya party boys are coming to town.Pity the first bar off the ferry,some probably will stay there the whole day.

From a selfish perspective, I'm hoping the new ferry plan goes the way of the last one. Wouldn't you like a return cultural trip with your new best friend from Sin City?

Phuketboy Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 So he thought about doing it, prepared to do but didn't do it. Then the police arrested him at the airport and now detaining him on charges of what? Until he actually does something they haven't got anything.

He had attached gas lines to an ATM and was about to blow it up when stopped by a member of the public. Are you seriously suggesting that a person who is clearly about to set off an explosion, potentially injuring or even killing himself and others cannot be considered liable for arrest? So if the police were there and saw him, they would have to wait until after the explosion before arresting him? That's not the case in most countries as far as I am aware. For instance in the UK, under the Explosive Substances Act of 1883 it is an offence to make, possess or control an explosive substance with intent to cause an explosion likely to endanger life or cause damage to property. Under the same Act is is also an offence simply to "possess explosives under suspicious circumstances." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly I didn't read the post carefully enough or would have seen the obvious, sorry for that. I will be more careful in the future, thanks for you diligent work of uncovering the erroneous ways of mine and have a happy new year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why did he do that if he had money enough for this equipment - roughly 3000 Bhat- tax I think-, gears to and fro and to the airport another1000+ 5000 from Hua Hin to Suvarnabhumi at least, and the flight ticket to Russia. So he must have had about 10K Baht just to dump his equipment opposite to an ATM. Taxi from Hua Hin to Bangkok is usually 2,500 baht. Unless you can persuade the driver to use their meter. It's less then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he's charged with a crime then what is that crime? He did not blow up an ATM, he did not rob an ATM, he did not damage an ATM. Maybe they'll charge him for being a dimwit. He has already admitted to police that he was going to blow up the ATM in order to get money and that he purchased certain items to assist in that regard. The cops don't have to prove intent, he has already admitted that. So I'd say that under Section 80 of the Thai Penal Code, which is that "Whoever commences to commit an offence, but does not carry it through, or carries it through, but does not achieve its end, is said to attempt to commit an offence. Whoever attempts to commit an offence shall be liable to two-thirds of the punishment as provided by the law for such offence. So what was his intention and what did he attempt to do? If you can answer those two questions then you will understand that if it was someone's intent to carry out a criminal act, and despite failing to do so is, regardless, able to be charged with the attempt of that offence. I am sure there will be other offences forthcoming considering what he was using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
