It has been quite an entertaining week although admittedly not everyone involved will see the funny side. An Air Force officer says he is happy he was caught after snatching a necklace at a gold shop because he wanted to get away from his wife and a prison cell would do nicely. A rather bizarre motive, but he got his wish. Apparently a lengthy spell in the slammer beats a daily nagging.
It also appears that one of Thailand's finest traditions, the "transferred to an inactive post" season, is in full swing. Several Bangkok police officers have been transferred to such posts after allegedly extorting Taiwanese actress, Charlene An. For some reason such stories seem to have added spice if an actress is involved.
