A woman turned herself in to the police with an illegal firearm. She said she would rather be behind bars than spend one more day with her husband, with whom she had been together for 32 years. The woman was served at her beck and call.

  1. Prathet Thai says up

    Pictures say more than words, but sometimes a caption is needed to understand what the photo is about, such as the photo that stands out, and that is the one of that woman and her illegal weapon!

    If you choose the Thai cell over being with your husband, then your marriage must be very bad, would her husband have known that she owned a gun, and how she felt about him? if he wasn't aware of this, he can squeeze into his own ass that she made this choice.

      Running away, possibly temporarily staying with relatives and starting divorce proceedings was apparently a worse option for her. Does this perhaps have to do with “losing face”? laziness? ignorance? or is she so afraid of her husband that she feels safer in prison than anywhere her husband can still find her?

    A bit of an upside down world. Most Thais are abandoned after their “husband” (or something similar) has had his fun and are also left in the cold when it comes to caring for children. And then suddenly we find a smart Farang who takes over the cuckoo's nest and doesn't even realize (on waves of pheromones) how he is being fooled., 🙂
