He definitely got mileage from the original thread. All the best Mr S. Have a good one.

yeah , get over it guys.

thais love all ! eskimos, jew, nazis, chinese, everyone is welcome here!

ALL except you JACKO.

dont other contries like Oz ect resentance the prisoners sent back ? , IE to fall in line with the country?

Not true at all.

So few responses to a very relevant question. I think there is a silent mass not willing to admit that they dabble.

particularly to a journo.

Without a 'compelling' reason for the to return to Thailand you have little to no hope. He has a history of unemployment, and is likely to be without resources or property.

Without a visa or an outbound airticket within 30 days, your chances of being uplifted by an airline out of Australia are nil. Get your ticket changed to a return date in less than 30 days of arrival.

You think a Thai embassy/consulate cannot read a letter written in Thai? <deleted>.

You think that there is a Thai speaking people in each consulate ? You are wrong.

Some consulate are VERY small.

The one of Monaco by instance as only ONE employee most of time,

mainly for foreign businessmen visa and basic Thai administration.

The one who worked there in 2005 speak perfect English and French, but not Thai...

... and I have no idea of the size of Brisbane consulate

... and/or whether the person who managed visa is Australian or Thai (or Thai speaking)

Brisbane has a Thai speaking Australian Consul-General and an all Thai staff. www.thaiconsulate.org

8. Bar girls/go-go dancers: They operate in all the bars in the aforementioned areas. Some are very attractive and all will tell you how handsome you are. If you decide to take one of these girls back to your room for sex you can be assured that they will then demand money. As "kenallday" mentioned prostitution is illegal in Thailand so under no circumstances should you give them money. I recommend that you immediately call the police and let them sort it out.

Or alternatively I recommend you marry them, move to a village about 100 kilometres from the nearest western style toilet, convince yourself that when you stroll round the village the locals are laughing at you because you're a "quirky farang" rather than the fact that your wife is being knocked off by her "brother" every afternoon at 4pm and losing 10k baht a day playing hi-lo with her mates behind the temple, revel in the fact that the person who you intend to spend the rest of your life with comes out with in depth opinions such as "You bad maak maak" and " You no love me no more", once again bail out her pissed up cousin from the local nick who borrowed (without permission natch) the Isuzu pick up you bought and stacked it into a parked car, endure 3 days of "the little woman" not talking to you due to being a basket case, open a hair salon for her which lasts all of 3 months because it's less about cutting hair and more a place for her and her mates to sit and natter all day and then drink yourself to death on the cheapest beer and spirits you can find trying to tell yourself this is all a terrible nightmare and you'll wake up soon.

Merry Christmas Everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The same to you and yours Pete. Have a good one.

Seemingly ole Santa is to be found in most bigger department stores well past 24 December.

I sent that to George. He (slightly) modified it and sent it out as a TV homegrown special. PLAGIARIST. Merry merries George and everyone.

24k gold is the go.

it was know before dna testing, that some 10-15% are not biological fathers of their offsppring, but it was much more difficult to prove it. Now, on dna ground, you can fill for a divorce or cease parental rights - a small payback for the former wife.

Not in the US, and the article shows it isn't that simple. If you find out just after the birth, OK. But what when you have a bond with the child?

Not in Australia either.

the internet lets people be different people on a day to day basis. maybe today he is a girl, 20 years old, Thai knockout. tomorrow he is back to himself, farang, senile, 150 stone, etc.

Well ...... guess who is back.

Maejo Man: hmm, as I remember, there aren't address on Thai driving license.

If you have to rely on memory, you probably don't have one, or cannot read Thai. Now would be a good time for an apology

Serious applicants only need apply.

If the bail had not been paid, and it's a lot totalling 130,000 Baht for the pair of 'em, how long would they have remained incarcerated and under what conditions?

What weight of evidence is required to keep them on remand and who makes this decision?

If, at the trial, they were found innocent, what compensation, if any, would they receive for their loss of liberty on remand and damage to their health from a prolonged stay in a Thai prison?

Would the fact that they had been held on remand sway the judge to find them guilty to avoid any repercussions about holding minors on remand?

Is there in fact any option for these two and for all the others in the same situation to cough up bail usually totalling a 6-figure sum in Baht and then plead guilty to avoid being held in very dangerous and unsanitary conditions for months on end whilst a very lengthy trial process slowly trundles on?

They should be screaming for consular assistance from the Australian Embassy.

The laws that need to be followed are the laws of the country they are in. I don't know if Thailand views a 16 year old girl with a 21 year old man in the same manner.

Thai laws apply.....absolutely.

She is Indonesian returning to Indonesia. If she goes direct to Indonesia there is no problem at all The six month rule doesn't apply when a citizen is returning to their home country. She can apply for a new passport in Indonesia while she is there and get a Thai visa from the Thai Consul in Bali.

Get the baby a tourist visa. They are free at the moment. That covers the one way airticket thing. The airlines get very emotional about carrying anyone that doesn't have a confirmed outward airticket. You can apply for a Thai passport for

the child if you want to.

You disagree with Thai people eating fast food ?? Disagree??

You sound like Thai people aren't able to figure this out for themselves.... do you agree with American people eating fast food, Europeans ? Is it just the Thais that should not enjoy a Macdonalds if they want ?

totster

Season's Greetings Tots. Have a good one.

The Power of Attorney document can be obtained from a Thai Embassy or Consulate. It is a Thai language document that needs to be filled in in the Thai language, witnessed and notorised under seal by an Embassy

/Consulate official
