... But they were in the wrong lane ... something they clearly take very seriously in Phuket for it to result in a cop chase ...

According to this article, I wouldn’t rate their chances of getting away with just deportation very highly;Nereus wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 8:49 amThey will need to consider themselves very lucky if they are deported without a lengthy stretch in the slammer!

Re: Thailand News Summary
Theres mention of a video of the incident, which according to a poster on the BP, paints a different picture. With the gun seemingly going off in the policemans hands all alone, and then the claim, they basically disarmed him, removed the ammunition from the gun and then waited for the police to arrive. If true, that is certainly a different tale to what has been relayed so far.

Re: Thailand News Summary
We all know what the police are like, so it is difficult to understand just what is going on there. About all that we can be sure of is that the police will stick to their own story, no matter what the truth may be!
If the police just deport the Kiwis without a jail sentence, then you can pretty much be sure that what is being claimed in that video is correct.

Re: Thailand News Summary
Either way, its more fuel for the farang witch hunt. You'll have Batman and Robin (Anutin and Big Joke) all over the TV (where they spend way too much time), spouting off about the evil aliens and how they need to be controlled and curtailed. Expect more nationalism.
"Phuket Governor Sophon Suwannarat said such actions were unacceptable and that officials will increase inspection of tourists ..."
https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/202 ... et-police/
So the 99% of decent law-abiding tourists and foreigners are now going to be subject to more police scrutiny, shakedowns, and potential extortion. Luckily, this has all been limited to Phuket so far.
