Yeah. It wouldn't have anything to do with the number of incoming tourists jumping to the millions. Yeah. That too

If the call doesn’t show up as a contact from my list then I don’t answer. If it’s important they can leave a message. I find this approach reduces the chances of getting caught up in these phone scams.

820. Probably the equivalent of 50 cigarettes a day.

She was just being a “prick”.

Best thing I ever did was to give up smoking. Healthier and safer in so many ways.

It seems now everyone is kicking her in the guts whereas a month ago she had almost unanimous support on this forum. Seems to be big dose of victim blaming going on now. My take is that if she doesn’t keep the incident in the spotlight this POS will get off scot free. If his actions weren’t acceptable a month ago then they aren’t acceptable today. People should stop defending him and making this woman out to be the bad ‘guy’.

I believe this to be the case also but have no real proof. Just my gut feel of what is going on.

I concur. These people are the product of Putin’s Russia. Both ignorant and arrogant with a strong belief in their entitlements according to what the Russian media feeds them. Six months in the monkey house then off to the front.

So much easier for men

I wonder if he ever made video contact with her or was it all audio communication.

Hats off to them. Very progressive and understanding approach to equality. I give credit where credit is due.

Good luck but I believe he is pi$$ing into the wind with this one. It will bring it back into the public forum but once again will lapse in the face of a lot Baht.

Phuket Dave will be shouting "Double Standards"

With almost 5000km of porous land borders with neighboring countries it’s no wonder. I’m not sure they are a threat to the Thai economy insofar as most of them would not work in tourism and are being exploited and used in many of the crap jobs not wanted by the average Thai. Thailand’s economy would be much worse without them.

Quite likely. Par for the course

Are you referring to Mr M?

Ballsy, but why not protest in front of Mr P’s house as well. They all have plenty to answer for.

I’m guessing they are no longer classified as tourists. Guests of His Majesty for a while to come. A waste of two good skins.

Reminds me of a scam being run in Rayong / Ko Samet being run by an English guy going by the name of L*** Beware investors!!!

Giver or a taker I wonder.

I’m so happy he’s on the road to recovery. What a trooper.

He tripped and fell onto a knife

Yes

I’m on the driver’s side except it was not appropriate to try and force her into the car. That could have got ugly. some compensation is justified

I concur
