Just flashed on the local news this morning, a British couple was shot to death while cruising in Kanchanaburi on their motocy. Motive not apparent. Police claim the perp called the police station and said be woudl run away. Not seen anything on Post or Nation about this yet, expect to see soon.

Very sad and I guess, if one didn't know this already, need to be careful and very polite around thai police. Also, not a good idea to argue with any of the locals for whatever reason even if you are right. Best to just walk away because more than anything else, the thais hate 'losing face' (people need to be aware of the 'face' system) and the consequences can be lethal. Im not making excuses, just a warning.

Yep! Especially when they think they are losing face relative to Western face. Can't say I would want their job if they were not handing out the firearms.
For the family, there will never be closure because the real story will never be confirmed. Truth becomes convenient in this kind event in Asia.
The Mirror report quotes Thai sources as saying the guy was trying to sell his girlfriend because they were broke.
Bitter memories to pit one surviving family against the other if they believe the story.

I don't think as usual we have heard the full story yet.
Today's Daily Mirror quotes a Thai lady as saying the Brit bloke punched the copper in the face ? She also wanted to remain anonymous as nobody goes against the police in any country. end Mirror quote
Even if he did the policeman's actions are unjustifiable.
This could go right to the political top as tourism is an important issue. I don't think the police could sweep this one under the carpet?
I'm hearing comments in the street like,"ain't going bloody there!"

What a friggin mess and what a waste. Lives lost and ruined. If the reports are basically accurate then I'm shocked but not surprised - and I'd think that would be the same for most of us on here.
Young farang male punches older Thai male in the head. Older Thai is a Police sergeant and has a gun handy. Killing the girl seems over-the-top but just confirms what others have said "When a Thai goes off, they really go off!" Talk about a clash of cultures....

Sorry, don't see it as a clash of cultures at all - nor a 'senseless' murder.
Please tell me then, in WHAT culture, where and in what backwoods restaurant/bar/dive anywhere in the Western OR Eastern world, can a complete outsider flash his hot babe, then go ballistic because a bunch of other soused men in there are (ohmygod) looking at the babe that he is flashing, then stick around the joint to escalate it instead of getting their butts out of there, then punch one of the foreign guys in the face, on the guy's own turf, in front of all his friends, and then walk away thinking what a cool dick you are and how YOU showed THOSE HICKS - and your babe?
'Senseless'? Homey don't think so. Any 'sensible' person would NOT even dream of putting himelf, or especially his GF, in such a situation, but once having done so should EXPECT repercussion, and yes, possibly even knifeplay or gunplay, having done everything possible to escalate it to that point. What IS senseless was his totally ignorant and arrogant pugnaciousness, based on all reports.
That having been said my sincere sympathies are with the families. But not with him, given all the reports so far. There's a phrase that comes to mind, plain and simple: The dumb f*cker asked for it!

Here's the story of this senseless murder - can't believe that this has happened in Thailand.Sarge
Not 'senseless' ( see previous post) !
For those living in the fantasy that Thailand is a 'safe' country because YOU have never had a problem, you might just want to be aware that LOS ranked # 14 of the top 100 countries in Murders Per Capita in the most recent survey, and #3 of 100 in Murder by Firearms Total AND #3 in Murder by Firearms Per Capita!!! http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/cri_mur_wit_fir_cap
