Yeah prices are insane in Thailand, compared to the USA, but not really an issue. For a foreigner the process is difficult however my wife is Thai and has maintained contacts in both police, military and local government so it should be ok. Maybe exchange some "gifts" We would live in the country side, not Bangkok.
As I understood I would be allowed to use it on the shooting range when she is with me or in a life threatening situation where she is enable to get to it / operate it. However I would read up the full law before purchase
@ jamie: lol, I forgot about that but your average robber high on ice will trust it. Let's put it to the test.

I have always believed that local police work with the thieves in some sort of franchise arrangement.

but that's Cambodia.

They knew she had the $200.
She shit herself so much that the "crims" couldn't help themselves and took the bike and her bag after she dropped the lot and ran for the hills..

Oddly enough the same happens in the west also.
Everyday it's reminded to tourists to be careful with their belongings, hidding their cameras, keeping phones in the pockets, securing bags etc... Why would the same thing not apply to locals?
If people are showing their wealth, they should not complain about being robbed, especially in a country where so many people own nothing and have nothing to lose.
Next time she'll get a second hand Chaly and a Nokia phone, thieves won't notice her. Of course the bragging will not be the same!
Sorry but I can't sympathize with that story.
Why would I care? I'm Khmer

WTF are you serious? She was riding home on her moto, belongings secured, phone and money put away and dressed normally, just like the million other people on their way home. How the hell can you assume otherwise and make judgment?upstage wrote:kansaicanuck wrote:A friend of ours got robbed last night at gunpoint.

Your logic is that regular middle-class type girls who grew up in Phnom Penh should just go around dressed ragged and looking poor so they don't get robbed? You are assuming a lot here don't you think? She wasn't flashing anything around.... Wrong place, wrong time is what it comes down to. She was careful with her stuff but what the hell is a girl to do when three men pull a fucking gun on her? Hundreds of thousands of people drive similar motos, dress like her and go about their day, everyday in PP but somehow you know she was "showing her wealth" and deserved to be robbed at gunpoint.... She is quite a lovely, educated and nice person and this wasn't her fault. presumptuous idiot.

Pay no attention, kansaicanuck, it's always the victim's fault until it he happens to be the victim.
We had some guy otof telling posters that if they couldn't come to terms with being ripped off by the police for a few dollars, they should think of leaving Cambodia.

Possibly, who knows. Its robbery season so its hard to tell. I did ask and apparently she had all her gear, bag, phone and money secured under the seat of her moto in the cubby. They basically robbed her of the moto and got the other stuff extra.

Three Khmer women I know were robbed in as many days. Also, some of Moricia's family were cleaned out in the provinces....houses emptied of items, etc. Grand Mama told me this is the worst she has ever seen it and expects it to get worse. Her village was virtually crime free in the past, now you turn your back and lose your chamber pot...

The youth are beginning to realise that the police are totally ineffective, and that crime pays

Friend saw a girl pulled off her moto and kicked in the face for her bag last night near Russian Hospital. Third or fourth time she witnessed something in that area this last week, all around 1830 to 1930. Careful out their, folks.
