Exactly right. It seems Thai laws and the associated punishment is based in what the government thinks the population will accept rather than a tool to change behaviour of society. There is of course one section that is excluded from that mind set. We can’t even talk about that though.

This poor guy has been beaten to a pulp and let’s face it, it’s quite possible that he will not recover from this.
 

He is currently unconscious and he will either not wake up or be so severely injured that he will be a vegetable and the punishment is:

violating Section 295 of the Criminal Law: whoever causes injury to another person’s body or mind shall be punished with imprisonment for up to two years, a fine of up to 40,000 baht, or both.

Which was exactly my point the other day, see below for punishment regarding vaping  and e-cigarettes 

 

Penalties for breaking these rules can be harsh. Importing can result in up to 10 years in prison and a fine five times the value of the product. Those who sell the illegal products face up to three years in prison and a 60,000 baht fine. Smuggling vapes and e-cigarettes can land a person in prison for up to 10 years and up to 500,000 baht in fines.

Even mere possession of e-cigarettes or vape pens comes with a penalty of up to five years in prison and fine four times the value of the product a user is caught with.

 

No I don’t smoke or vape, just cannot understand how you can justify the punishment of what will likely end up as death being less than vape related so called crimes
