007cableguy Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 You seem determined to justify what happened. Are you so one eyed that you cannot see the complete stupidity of this case, particularly when compared to many more serious crimes with trivial penalties?I'm sure this guy will be strutting around in a brown uniform pretending to be a tourist police with the way he is backing the legal system here.Oh dear and he really thinks the Thai police will refund the bail money in full !....Come on they have costs to shell out , I know some innocent people who had to pay money and never got it back!... The country is corrupt to the core!Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacChang Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Plenty of fishes from North Korea have applied for residency in Thailand now. They have abandoned their leader who shower them with rockets all year long. They've agreed to come to Thailand because Thailand has set the international standards for fish rights. No longer will they be treated any less any other living being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I would like to know. Who made the arrest ? Why is it an arrestable offence ? Is it really an arrestable offence ? 100k Baht bail - very excessive for something which on the surface would appear to be the equivalent of a parking ticket. Come to Phuket in Thailand for your luxury holiday in the sun spend some time in prison for feeding fish.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyman58 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 500 baht fines are for thais 100,000 baht fines are for farangs Like the Golden temple in Bangkok 500 Baht entry for farangs 50 baht for Thais If you did this in in Australia it would be classed as" Not equal opportunity" So when tourist come to Australia they are charged the same rate as the locals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was in Krabi on a long boat last year and they gave us bread to attract the fish at a snorkeling stop, I could have been jailed for this I guess. I could see a 200 baht fine for not knowing that feeding the fish is not good but two nights in jail or 100,000 baht bail? come on. Its probably legal to use a speargun to kill and eat the same fish though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a snorkel dive tour in the Arang Thong National Park region of the Samui archipelago the boat operators also regularly feed the fish to bring them into the dive area, so what's the big deal about this poor woman I wonder?
