I didn't give a poop about the ozone layer, or atmospheric CO2, or rising sea levels, or ice cap reductions either.

15 in France, I remember the Brit schoolteacher that took a 15yo student to France and had sex. Couldn't get him for sex with a minor as the French said it was OK. Got him the same as this guy, for abducting her from her parents. He did some jail time.

I'm all for you doing anything that gives you less time to spam this forum with your pointless threads.

It already did ........... 100 in one go ........ https://coconuts.co/bangkok/news/golf-cart-fleet-goes-up-in-flames-at-thai-army-academy/

As a Brit I can safely say, We conquered the world in our bid to find women who would have sex with us. For some reason our own women don't want us. To defeat the world we needed to be more violent than anyone else. And if you start a war with us, you'll find out how violent we can be.

Not when they're parked.

15 is the legal age of consent in Thailand, but some parental property rights last longer, which is why this guy is in trouble.

Not anywhere in Europe. America is not the world!

Don't leave your luggage backpacks exposed. Backpack always on the front, especially bording bus/train (a crowd of 10 will work together to push, crush and steal. There's a public bus service at every airport to the town centre ($1-$2), no need to hire a taxi (quite often the locals at the airport will lie about the bus existing). Money, take Thai baht and your Thai ATM card. Buy a data sim for your phone, so Google maps will work. Try Viet coffee, it's good but strange (strong coffee + condensed milk) Highlands coffee, do a good coffee + baguette for a couple of dollars.

Off topic, But teaching in the UK is more like being a prison guard IMHO (I used to be a teacher). Working conditions would be great if no parents or students.

Ninh Binh/Tam Coc was my favorite, enjoyed cycling around and climbing up the Kast, then onto the 2hr rowing boat ride through the caves and lakes. I also did the cultural walking Tour in Hanoi and the evening walking food tour, all good (and not expensive). Hoi An was the worst place I visited, arrived on the 7am bus from Da Nang, returned on the 9am bus. Not that much to see around Saigon, up north around Hanoi has way more stuff to do. Mekong Delta trip, coach, cruise, rowboat, snake farm, honey farm, lunch, all tourists but very cheap and enjoyable.

OP said they didn't want tourist trips. Halong Bay - mass tourists, better get the train from Hanoi to Ninh Binh and hire a bicycle (just opposite the train station). Hoi An - too many tourists, totally packed. Mekong Delta - 100% tourist trap (Cai Be). Here's Hoi An, the Chinese tourists looked quite nice, but by 9am so many of them you couldn't move. Ninh Binh, Tam Coc

Nothing.

As I previously posted, no sleepovers and he would have had no problem. Letting her move in for 5+ months without the parents permission caused him the problem.

They are actually a bit less .......... Around the same fine as failing to stop at an accident, 5kbht. He didn't have sex with a minor. Age of consent is 15 for unmarried girls, and 13 for married girls.

I would say the reason is parental extortion. They think the guy has some money and are trying to get some of it. Can't see this going anywhere, he'll pay them, and the charges will go away. At worst he'll have to marry her.

Why would I care about OTHERS?

Best not to let your kids interact with foreigners for any reasons IMHO. Most foreign guys in Thailand are the lowest of the low both morally, socially and financially.

Age of consent is 16 almost everywhere (except the USA and Muslim countries). I can't summon up any 'moral outrage' for a guy banging a 16yo.

I see a bit of wiggle room in that law. 'intent' being the wiggle word!

You believe wrong, age of consent in Thailand is 15. Guy was charged with taking her from her parents without their permission, not for having sex with her. At 16 he could have legally banged her as much as he wanted, as long as she didn't 'sleep over'.

Former Brit wife worked in a 6th form college back in the UK. She said nearly all the single male teachers were dating students.

I expected my former Brit wife to love, honour and obey me. That was her oath before God, I didn't ask her to make it, she was the devout Christian.

Or claim the airline or immigration gave her the wrong passport back. CM immigration actually did this to me a few years back ..... Hey, this isn't my passport!

Looks like they're getting ready to switch off Facebook.
