I'm not ken on Russians either, but:-

 

>> #Phuket police arrested a driver who drove down to Kamala beach Mon. He's not a foreigner as many suspect but a 39-yr-old Thai who wanted his 2 kids to see the beach closely & recorded a video for him. Police charged him with careless driving, which may pose danger to others.

Somebody gave my post above a "Confused" emoticon, but now I am confused!

I was replying to a post that was implying that the culprit was a Russian, and he should be deported and shipped off to the Ukraine:- 

"No doubts , it must be a Russian putinoid:).
Deport these scumbags to Russia. -

their pseudo  tzar Putin is so eager to mobilize them for criminal war in Ukraine!"

My post was merely to point out that the culprit was not a Russian, or other type of foreigner, but Thai!

Funny how the title of subject automatically assumes its a foreigner when the KhaoSod reports:

 

>> #Phuket police arrested a driver who drove down to Kamala beach Mon. He's not a foreigner as many suspect but a 39-yr-old Thai who wanted his 2 kids to see the beach closely & recorded a video for him. Police charged him with careless driving, which may pose danger to others.

So will AN be issuing an apology for defaming foreigners? Thought not!

from the Thaiger==== A Thai man who witnessed the incident added that the Chinese tourist did not show any remorse

 

Russians-Chinese much of the same same, lack of education and respect for others

Plus, the "Thaiger" quote is about a totally different incident!

Could it be an  April fools day announcement? and if not, it means that ' we need more

tourists/passengers' equals more revenue/income...

 

"Could it be an  April fools day announcement?" On April 2nd?

And "we need more tourists/passengers' equals more revenue/income..." so we start charging them more? That'll bring them flocking in!

"....especially the Brits."

 

"Here we go, here we go, here we go!" Football's coming home! 🙂 

"Here we go, here we go, here we go!" was a warning that there is a "Brit Basher"/troll about.

"Football's coming home!" Is a natural continuation of the above chant, or an impossible dream - take your pick (sorry, off topic, I'll get my coat!)

Fair enough too. 

It was the farangs that spread it last time and tried to blame the Chinese.

The Thais kept it under control well.

They should target the farangs, especially the Brits.

There are a lot of Thai agriculture workers over there. I'm wondering if this soldier may have had some Thai friends, may have worked with some Thais before having to join the war. Perhaps he just meant to show solidarity with Thais, who have hostages being held by the maniacal terrorists/Hamas. Maybe one of his Thai friends sent it to him. But, no matter what official story they come up with, I don't think anyone will believe it. In the end, it's pretty stupid to make a fuss of it. It's just an ordinary soldier, not like he's some sort of high ranking officer making an official statement. But people love making a major commotion out of anything these days.

But people Thais love making a major commotion out of anything these days. Even made a "drama out of a crisis" when an Eastern lady had to pee in the street because of a lack of toilet facilities in a certain Thai holiday resort!

"At the request of Thailand, the Israeli government is urgently examining a photo depicting an Israeli soldier holding the Thai national flag in front of piles of debris.

Looks like it's in front of a tank to me!

They didn't use a laser gun to stun him did they? I would never have known!:-

"CCTV footage from the mayhem and chaos on Tuesday at a city centre hotel in Phuket. (Inset) Mr Tolstov attacked people, including security guards at the hotel. Finally, police used a taser gun to stun and collapse the marauding Russian."

"Rabid Russian rampage in Phuket. Tourist tasered by police after hotel havoc. A drunken Russian tourist, Mr Aleksandr Tolstov, triggered chaos in Phuket, assaulting multiple people at a hotel. Three officers intervened but had to resort to a taser to subdue him. Now facing criminal charges."{

"A Russian tourist is facing criminal charges and is being held by Karon Police after a furious outburst of violence in the centre of Phuket on Tuesday. The crazed Russian man, wearing nothing but summer trunks tore into security staff and later police at a local hotel. Finally, police were forced to use a Taser gun to incapacitate the rabid young man and prevent further conflict."

"There has been another incident of outrageous behaviour by a foreigner in Phuket. On Tuesday, police were forced to use a Taser gun to overpower a young Russian man who attacked multiple people at a hotel."

All within the same article/post!!!

But yet another Russian "behaving badly" - well the Thai Government wanted them - now they got them - warts and all! 🙂

"The situation escalated when the Kick streamer seemed to threaten a bystander off-camera, causing uproar among the onlookers. A group of furious locals confronted Jino, prompting him to backtrack frantically.

News so enthralling that we have to be told twice?

Maybe Bruce Helmul Ing Obtitzberger?

Sorry - beat me to it!

".....Helmul Ing Obritzberger,"

Now there's a good old Ausie name! Commonly known as Bruce Eh?

Obritzberger is facing charges under Section 335 of the Criminal Law for committing theft during nighttime. 

Serious question - Is that a more or less serious crime than theft during daytime?

Bathrooms? How about trash containers in public spaces? My theory is they purposefully lack them b/c it means more work to Servuce them vs just letting the garbage and litter sit in every cubic meter of public land in thailand…only the smoke of the north surpasses it with every cubic cm of air

Where I live, businesses are supposed to pay a small charge to have their garbage collected, but a few years ago a few didn't/wouldn't pay so the Council took away ALL of the garbage bins! (That'll show 'em!)

Consequences - obvious - but TIT!!!

Peeing outdoors while drunk is quite exhilarating.

I have seen many car and truck drivers do the same at the road sides even near a petrol station... So again the kettle and the pot...

 

On the other end.. Tourist industry but no facilities.. Nowhere dustbins, and public toilets to be found there is no infrastucture for tourists no investments ever made...

But, but, but  - that would mean spending BAHT, and diminishing the value of the GDP!

Ok, obviously someone took over your account, because you never said any of these things:

 

 

 

(Large scale immigration started 3 generations ago, so it is reasonable to ask for some sort of context tom a statement like "I had never seen a non-white person before when I was a child". There are some parts of the UK where I might think that would be a reasonable statement at a certain point in time. But as you intimate, you came of age in the 1960s, having been completely oblivious to the concept of a yellow/brown/black face, despite living in one of the Northern cities, except in the pages of your geography text books (grammar school?), then in your early 20s, become an avid listener of Enoch Powell, while at the same time being a habitual drug user in order to get by in some sort of musical entourage, I would naturally raise my eyebrows at that statement (whether any of it was true, that in fact, you were an ultra right wing hippy, and an admirer of Powell, when in fact, as you approach the end of your life, you have turned into your dad (who probably didn't like the idea of children taking drugs).

 

 

(where I come from, "abduction" is kidnapping. It was a presumption on my part that you were describing yourself as a child. My mistake, you were describing yourself as an adult playing on the street without fear of "interferance" (rape)). If a child, pretty sad, that you had to play alone, no friends to play with. Hence later on turning to drugs to get on in life. Its a pretty strange to say, I suspect you are referring to the Rochdale case, something a lot of your ilk are obsessed with.

 

 

 

(You need to check your account credentials. Because someone else pretending to be you in a post admitted to being a cocaine user, as well as LSD. That same person though said they drew a line at "smack". Some one admitting to taking illicit oral narcotics, illegal hallucinogens, cannabis and cocaine I would suspect of having a drug problem and being used to coming into contact with organised crime (the drug dealers)). I don't know any criminals, you did, because how else did you purchase your drugs. Not from Boots.

 

 

 

(My mistake, I didn't know you were a member of a sect/cult, and not part of the Established Church).

 

When you hijack a thread, be prepared to be taken to task with the statements that you make.

 

 

 

 

 

I am afraid I have had enough of your twisting words round to suit your agenda - I will only quote one example but there area many as I have already pointed out, but this is from your latest contribution:-

"......being a habitual drug user in order to get by in some sort of musical entourage"

Whereas what I said was :-

 helped along by a few pills along the way, and later on, a bit of "Wacky Baccy"! I also played in a group with  proper musicians playing proper instruments  - LIVE!!! But I never saw (or wanted to see) a needle in anybody's arm apart from hospital, or the Doctor's Surgery.

Additionally, I never mentioned LSD ("Because someone else pretending to be you in a post admitted to being a cocaine user, as well as LSD. That same person though said they drew a line at "smack".) so it must have been as you say, "someone else pretending to be me" ( 🤣  Highly unlikely bearing in mind your penchant for twisting words around!

I tried to keep the thread light hearted but you seem intent on picking me to pieces and I am afraid " I ain't gonna play your game any more". My contributions to you in this thread (and a previous one) are finished, and you are now on my "Ignore" list. As someone with 8000 + posts to my credit, I do not take this step lightly, and have taken your lack of posts/experience on AN into consideration, but I do not need your kind of criticism, thank you - have a nice life on AN, and yes, I know you will want the last word - "Newbies" always do, so be my guest!

Once again, no time frame, so meaningless statement and the previous correspondant claimed to have lived in a "city" in  the North West of England, while ranting on about kids being kidnapped (ignoring that the most notorious case that happened when he was a kid), heroin (while saying taking pills was totally fine, and elsewhere, supporting cocaine usage), moaning about having his religion being changed (and he's probably like 90% of Britons, not really religious anyhow). He also ignored we tried to change their religion as well (missionaries etc).

 

This discourse started because Sam Bum decided, on a thread about the UK and Thailand exploring a possible partnership, to bring in a well known anti-immigrant (anti-Muslim) trope about a supposed Swiss mayor refusing a mosque to be built. He brought up the Muslim faith for some reason only known to himself. And then he brings up Race. Completely random and off topic to the matter in  hand. Thread hijackers have to suck it up, when I see it for what it is, and he doesn't like it with home truths.

You have a bad habit of misquoting people to suit your agenda:-

"Once again, no time frame, so meaningless statement and the previous correspondant claimed to have lived in a "city" in  the North West of England, while ranting on about kids being kidnapped (ignoring that the most notorious case that happened when he was a kid), heroin (while saying taking pills was totally fine, and elsewhere, supporting cocaine usage), moaning about having his religion being changed"

"Once again, no time frame,..." who else on this part of the thread didn't quote a time frame?

"Claimed to have lived in a "city" in the North West of England" Once again pure speculation on your part that someone is making false claims.

"...ranting on about kids being kidnapped....." Who said anything about kids "being kidnapped"? 

"....heroin (while saying taking pills was totally fine, and elsewhere, supporting cocaine usage)"

YOU were the one who mentioned heroin, and I didn't say I supported cocaine usage - I said that cocaine could be injected or snorted, and at no time did I say that I supported either.

"....moaning about having his religion being changed"

Once again, pure conjecture on your part - I never mentioned ANYTHING about having my religion changed.

Misquotes from start to finish - you don't even qualify for a "Sad" emoticon!
