"Police are trying to extradite a suspect in the murder of a woman in central London earlier this month. Detectives will not name the person they believe killed Angela Thiamphanit, or where they currently are. Police found Ms Thiamphanit, 26, with stab wounds at her home in Stanhope Place, Westminster, on 8 April. The Met Police has asked the Crown Prosecution Service to rule on whether the force has enough evidence to extradite the murder suspect. Ms Thiamphanit, who had dual Chinese-Hong Kong and Thai nationality and worked in property management, had been living in the UK for about nine years, having initially come over to study at university."

Probably put him on an Interpol list, so each and every passport control desk which operates with the 196 Interpol countries will alert the operator to his presence (although any Aircraft / Passenger ship manifest would be pre screened for known names anyway). Depending on how much of a need there is to get him, the relevant resource will be assigned, from either coming across him by pure chance to actively seeking him out. He's probably traveling on a false passport, or maybe even a legit one held by someone who looks like him. Interestingly enough, I spotted Facial recognition Cameras in use on Beach Road during my trip, they were mobile as well.

Congratulations @Derek Dangleberries think you have this in the bag 👍👍👍

well that's spooky. we must have left a few minutes before that pics was taken. I distinctly remember the guy in the England shirt And we were sat adjacent to these 2 blokes, I remember because I had a chat with one of them. Wow. I've got goosebumps.

In other words, LHR wants to remove its contracted workers and swap them for zero hours contracted ones on worse T&C's. They may come under the TUPE agreement, but for how long I'm not sure. Basically it's the owners of LHR, who are foreign, pulling the pants down of British workers. It's wrong, it's unethical but it's also sadly, legal. Sad state of affairs in the UK.

Great post, Even the media glossed over the kindness that the Thai people extended to foreigners during that Tsunami period, also, when the Airport was taken over during the change of Govt (choosing my words carefully due to forum rules) - Many Thai people helped those stranded at the Airport by bringing food, taking care of the children and generally also being helped a lot by the people occupying the Airport at the time who gave ration packs and ensured there was plenty of water to go around. As for good farangs, in Pattaya I think more so in recent years, foreigners look upon other foreigners with suspicion. I got chatting to an Aussie bloke in a bar who told me that for every 10 blokes he meets, at least 3 of them have an angle of some description. I think Pattaya can erode the kindness of people somewhat, but as @Nightcrawler said in his excellent post, Pattaya is somewhat of a bubble. I've seen some bloody horrific behaviour by farangs in pattaya, but on the flipside I've seen acts of kindness that go largely unnoticed, but they never go unappreciated if they're genuine acts of kindness towards a Thai.
