Waooo, not a single comment about those Thai guys who apprehended that lunatic and prevented worse.
Suppose that wouldn't be in the nature of the usual disgruntled forum members.- 3

It doesn't matter, she will not be charged with overstay if she is in police custody.
And even if she would be in hospital with a letter from the doctor,
she still would need to get an extention of stay or pay overstay
(Most big hospitals will liase with Immigration on your behalf)
So same if you're awaiting court - for whatever reason - and you
overstay, you will need an extention of stay or, pay a fine of
500THB per day of overstay up to a maximum of 20'000 THB
(A lawyer could act on your behalf and get the extention of stay
as you wont have your passport) -

Embassy?
8 minutes ago, Esso49 said:And for a female to go to with friends or otherwise to any Thai island is a dangerous these days. Can't they read the newspapers ? However, that aside you should make contact with her Embassy so they can provide assistanace
Embassy? What do you expect the Embassy will do because
of a bit of weed?
Next people will advice to contact the embassy or consulate
because they got a fine for driving without helmet- 4

Worst thing to do, try to bribe Police officer. Punishment will be 1000 times more
severe than what you will get for a small amount of weed. Who in the right mind
would trust a police officer who already cheats his employer by taking a bribe anyway?
Usually:
40'000 THB bail money and deposit of Passport until court hearing.
If you can't provide bail or Passport, you will stay in the cell until you can provide it.
For short term you will stay at the Koh Phangan Police station. If it takes longer for you
to provide Passport and Bail money, you'll be transfered to Koh Samui.
For small amounts of weed, the punishment is around 5 - 10'000 THB six months prison
suspended for a year. If you admit to the charge, that might be reduced by 50%. In case
your visa expires whilst you wait for your court case, you will need to pay overststay when
you leave the country.
Of course, everything depends very much on your attitude and behaviour.
As for lawyers, plenty off offices in Tongsala. One as good as the other.
Just don'y use the one the police recommends ?
BTW - As others adviced already. Don't get involved too much, it might backfire.- 7

“However, we’re open to new evidence. Since the victim has not even contacted the UK consul in Thailand which is in charge of the safety of British nationals in the kingdom, we urge her to submit the evidence and give statements so we can investigate further. We’re even willing to take her statements in the UK if she doesn’t feel safe here.”

Now this is something competely new.
Since when is MY government in charge of MY security when I'm in a foreign country?
So, if I feel threatened in Thailand, do I call the Thai police or do I need to contact
the police back in my home country?
Well, no wonder there's never anything done, when we complain to the local police . . .- 1

Suppose the "Electrical Authority" is a prime example how to be
economical, when they decided that 115KV (for the price of 230KV)
would be enough for those few fisherman on Koh Phangan.
Sure those fisherman and coconut farmers don't need aircon or
fridges ? -

If the dogs are killed humanly I don't see a problem. Many of us who have lived in sois with roaming packs of dogs have often thought of dispatching them when they keep us awake in the dead of night!
Killing Humanly?
From what I know, humans kill each other with bombs, napalm, guns, knifes, torture ....
Humans are actually pretty cruel when they kill each other. So why should animals suffer
the same faith?
If I would be an animal, I rather be killed in a fast, painless way but for sure, not humanly.

Sounds like someone in power has a business selling dash cams
But nobody selling tachograph;
We can understand why;
it's because it's not a thai invention; so it doesn't exist
Considering that half of the people here on TV don't know what a Tachograph is,
don't expect any Thai to be able to analyse one of those disks.

What a disgusting lot you are, the lady spends thousands trying to do a good thing and you have no empathy for her plight, that's why I love dogs more than humans, they don't have hate like you subhumans, I hope you all live in Thailand because the west doesn't want your type.
What is disgusting is, this woman spends 7'000 pounds to allegedly save ONE dog
when the same money could have been used to provide access to clean water and
sanitation to 7'000 people in developing countries for an entire year BUT,
probably she wouldn't make any headlines with that.
Maybe the right slogan for her would be:
Safe a dog (maybe), let 4500 children die a day
What a cretin, so she was looking for headlines you think? What business is it of yours what she does with her money?
.... subhumans
.... cretins
You're pretty fast with your insults, aren't you?
Maybe this good lady should have spend her money on better education for you

In my life as a human being, no one cares if I am a foreign species
living in the tropics, no one cares if I have flees or ticks. Should I
have been beaten, ripped off, be broke or sick and ask for help,people write innuendoes telling me it's my own fault. Should my
country be at war or suffer starvation, it's my own fault.
In my next life, I want to be a dog.
They get just so much more compassion then humans get. -

Sweeping leaves is not working
I occasionally sweep leaves, no not to clean the place from rubbish and I don't
consider that as work but is a good way to meditate and exercise. Just like golf
would be for some people, just a little bit more gentle.
In Theravada and Zen Buddhism, sweeping leaves have a long history and is
an established form of meditation and is practised in many villages and almost
in every temple here in Thailand.As a long term resident of Thailand, he's probably just practising meditation

Ohhh how tragic.
Man left because he was probably "sick" of his friends and they report him missing.
Probably only through the swift action of Samui Times, the "missing" person was
reunited with his friends. (Just wonder how sick he will be tonight?)
Apart from his personal details, no other information was released. Suppose no
one is interested why he left or how he discovered he was missing but at least,
the media could have posted his credit card details too!
I'm lost since almost 50 years and no one seams to miss me - yet. -
All over the world, not just in Thailand.
Walking on water, living in the belly of a wale, raising the dead, a white guy born in the middle east, an African named moses who looked like Charleston Heston, or penguins from antartica who walked to the desert in the middle east to get on a boat!
And that is only one of many popular superstitious cults in the world!
Penguins on the arch?
How long did it take Moses to check if they were gay or not? :-)
Errrr...Moses never made it to the ark
Moses was born in Africa, lived his entire life in Africa and died in Africa.
He never even made it to the "promised Land'.
Moses was an African man. Noah was probably a dark skinned middle eastern man, like Jesus.
Erm, who ever said Jesus was white? And i suppose people thought he spoke English as well and not Aramaic?
Ohhh? And I thought he was talking German :-)
Now I wonder, what language do ghosts speak?
Do foreign ghosts need work permits to spook people in Thailand?

That was well before my time.
Never met the guy ;-)

Half the international and national media reported the incident in Pattaya,
So whilst people from Europe, America to South Africa, from Australia to
Japan read those news from Reuters, ABC, BBC to Alejazeera, the Nation,
Bangkok Post or what ever other news outlets, according to the Phuket Gazette,
Deputy Commander Peerayuth Karajedee . . . .
“was unaware of the arrests in Pattaya”
I wonder how many of those were printed in Thai.
It was plastered all over the Thai news too.

Seams to me, poor Deputy Commander only reads the
paper with the winning lottery numbers as that was probably
the only paper who didn't report on the story.
