Where is Justice in Thailand? I hate to see such sad Incidents happened in Thailand over and over again. Where is The Royal Thai Police? Come out and prove the Police is upright before the attraction of Thailand ?

Yesterday, I was driving back home. A drunk bike rider just came in front of my car and braked just to see if his friends were following him. Thanks God, I could brake on time. The bike guy was just an inch away from my car. Guess what? He was laughing and waving his hands towards his friends who were riding their bikes recklessly and following him.

just another day and just another story.....Nothing will ever change here as the system is too corrupt, Police on Samui are a law unto themselves similar to Ao Nang too many wealthy locals who control the show

There have been countless reports in the international media about the danger to people in Thailand, whether it be from robbery, scams or the corrupt police. And yet still people come in ever-increasing numbers, so nothing will change. Why should it, unless it hits the Thais in the only way they understand - in the pocket. So far it doesn't.
