You're not really puzzled you're just trying to have a wind up.. There are thousands of blokes all over the world sending money to these sponging little trollops.

 

I've recently been asked by a good pal of mine to go and make sure for that 'his girl' that he's sending 20,000 B a month to is no longer working in her bar. And he's not a newbie. She's told him she's being a good girl back up in the boondocks working on the family farm.

 

So far I've passed the bar three times and not seen her there. But that does not mean that she's not changed bars, there are hundreds or possibly thousands of bars in Pattaya.

 

He's made the same mistake before but he's not that daft that he would dream of blaming her punters for his own naivety. 

 

If you like the girl carry on seeing her when she can fit you in. Let the idiot know in some way and tell him go and **** himself when he rings you again. What can he do if you and he never meet face to face.

 

She must have somehow let him find your number on her phone so it shows you she could not give a fig about either one of you. You're both just marks, johns or punters along with several others she's probably got on the firm.

 

It'll teach him a lesson not to go to a foreign country, patronise a prostitute then go home and start sending her money in the hope that she'll stop being what she is.

 

Let us know how it transpires. These yarns about lonely lovestruck punters make good reading.

Why is he facing trial in Thailand rather than Singapore ?

I think it is because Thailand is where the money was swindled.

You don't get sent to Klong Prem before sentence. 

Klong Prem does have a remand prison at the side of it, but it is on the giant compound of Klong Prem.

Don't they give you one phone call in Thai prisons/jails? Maybe KP doesn't have any phones.

You must get special permission for calls abroad, usually for important matters such as family bereavement, and these are requested by the Embassies. There are no call boxes in the prison, otherwise, the Thais would be running their businesses from jail. Why do you think there are vast amounts of mobile phones smuggled in.

Very strange that this man is being treated very differently to the hundreds of ATM thieves and the many cold calling, boiler rooms fraudsters who got caught over the years and who fleeced many millions of Thais and foreigners, those people are usually been sent back to their respective countries after a deal worked out, so why this guy is different?...

The Thai police are in on all the boiler room scams!  They were probably cut out of this one and were unhappy about it?

Give unto Caesar, what is Caesars's etc and all that jazz.

As far as I understand the strange Thai law, the age of consent is 15, but for some strange reason that consent can be withdrawn later if they are aged under 18.

I would think that as they both consented and are both under 18, they could both withdraw consent so that the girl could also be charged with statutory rape.

No, the girl always wins in the courts, or the girls family does, in cases like this. Maybe because the judges know what lying ratbags Thai boys are.

The boy's word against the girl's. I reckon the one who pays the most tea money wins the case. I was also under the impression that if you agreed to marry the girl here then all charges of rape etc were dropped(?) I'm willing to be corrected.

The problem with your theory is it has been tried and tested, and it is a frequent ' story ' to get boys out of a predicament. A story that the upcountry parents are wise to as well.

That is what this website says but looking at the actual penal code I do not see anywhere that it is an offense after the age of 15.

 

Section 277 is the relevant section and says only under age 15 9with stringer penalties if under 13). No mention anywhere in the penal code that i can see of under 18. ???

 

 

It is too much of a grey area as I have mentioned before with all types of things coming into the equation. It is especially a big issue when the girl is 15 years or 16 years old. She is still under parental control. The parents' consent is always a big factor in all of this. It is not black and white. I know of even foreigners that have tried these stories quoting laws from these textbooks about ages of consent, and trying to get away with underage sex with girls and boys in Thailand.

I have also said from my time in Bangkok, that I have personally seen and spoken with young men from ' Way Noom ' prison for young offenders, who did exactly the same with 15-year-old girls, refused or couldn't pay the families and were charged with statutory rape, and received prison sentences.

It is also a safety net used by these people upcountry, as too many boys are getting these girls pregnant and then just disappear leaving the problem to the girl, and not helping. There have also been cases of too many girls throwing these babies in rubbish dumps or leaving them in forests, at petrol stations, etc

They are also well known for disappearing off to the cities on the pretext they are going to work and send money home.

In reality, they abandon their responsibilities and ditch these children with grandparents.

I am due to renew my retirement extension and now will be using the new one at Kalasin.

I have all the documents in order and monies etc for the 800K per year extension option. I don't need advice or anything regards this or monies to be kept in the account afterwards either. My only question is has anybody used this office as yet for the above mentioned? If any TV member has been, then was you asked for a TM30?

This is the only piece missing from the jigsaw and it seems too late to apply now. All my 90 day reports up to date etc, I have yellow book etc but been told that I still should have this TM30.

I  have never been asked for any TM30 at the Sakon Nakhon office but, as we all know, all offices are different.

I guess I still don't see how she is underage?  She is 15.  As I read the law the age of consent is 15.  How am I wrong? 

You are interpreting Thai law as though it is similar to European law and is black and white which, as it is very old and not updated laws, it is not. It is full of grey areas. Also, in this case, the parents by their threats and actions, have not given consent for this relationship, nor a sexual relationship.

The girl is definitely under her parents' control at this age.

Both he and she know this. It is also usual for financial compensation to take place in these situations. Yes, the parents can complain, yes, the police can and will listen. Yes, charges of statutory rape can be filed. I have seen this happen before and the boys end up in juvenile prison.

Promises of marriage etc are common with these people to try and get out of a ' sticky situation '  the boys then, can and frequently do, Abscond and disappear to avoid responsibility.

Yup,

Name, shame and deport, hang, draw and quarter, firing squad, the electric chair is OK,  and do anything you feel you need to do EXCEPT reveal his nationality if he is BRITISH or we will never hear the bloody end of it.

Looks more like a 1000 baht note.

That is what I thought.

So, slightly confused.

Did or didn't she get the credit cards, ATM cards, the 2,000 baht, and unlucky lottery tickets etc back? 

Or was it just an empty wallet?....................... and did he want the 200 baht to buy Lao Khao just for returning an empty wallet?

The report isn't clear on this.

I'd be interested to see Andrew Drummond's take on this if he ever reports it. As he is a very credible investigative reporter - I don't know about this 'Bangkok Jack'. If he has friend's here who believe his innocence then maybe you should get in touch with him and let him know what you know. 

 

Update - have just read his article and he casts doubt on the veracity of the prosecution case for sure. That said this is Thailand so the chance of justice and a fair trial are slim, just look at the Ko Tao Burmese a sad tale indeed if he is innocent and just got used by the bad guys who frequented his circles.

Andrew Drummond did report on it and casts massive doubts on this lawsuit. You can find details on his website.

He believes that the guy is the result of a set up by foreign tourist volunteers and accommodating local CSD cops.

He congratulated the PM. It's like congratulating a bank robber. How about having the merest regard for the citizens of Thailand who have been cheated by this stitch up masquerading as democracy?

No worse than the EU having an Ambassador. What reason? What purpose?

They are neither a state nor a country, they have neither money themselves nor land that they govern. They are locusts!......... They will fit in well with Prawit.

All European countries have their own Embassies, Consulates, and Ambassadors....... ......Why is an EU Ambassador required?

We can only presume these unelected clowns are jockeying for positions with their quest for an EU superstate!

The Chinese, Koreans and Indians are from Asia. Comparing hotels here to hotels in Europe is of no relevence to them.

No, maybe not,

But it is very relevant to me and the hundreds of thousands of Western tourists that visit Thailand that face very expensive costs for hotels in Europe. They make South East Asian hotels extremely good value for money.

I’ve used them in Paris and Penang a few times, well worth it because you can get a whole apartment for less than a low end shabby hotel room, but in Thailand the hotels are plentiful and cheap enough and the service usually excellent as to render AirBnB unnecessary for me in Thailand.

And that is precisely the point of why Thai hotels and I should imagine Vietnamese and Cambodian hotels will be unaffected!

It is because the hotels in these countries are one of the things where the customer really still gets value for money as opposed to Europe.

Yes it does.

The only unknown is how much has to be in the bank after 3 months at the full amount. Some offices have said half of it.

It does seem a tad ridiculous really when the option is 65K a month into Thailand or 800K on deposit. One would think both these methods were proof of a person's funds to take care of expenses for 12 months. After all, the clock and proof of income funds start again at the next request for a 12-month extension.

This borders on impossible for the man or woman with the 800K in the bank when such restriction are being placed on the funds before and after the grant of the 12-month extension. I thought the entire reason for this amount of funds in the bank was to fund your life for the 12 month period, including rent, food, hospitals or whatever, etc With the two months before, three months after and then not allowing the funds to drop below 400K, it is a ridiculous state of affairs for many, who could normally survive, especially the older end, who are asking for nothing really, just access to their own funds.

Such has been the determination to close the loophole on agents funding extensions. that this important factor, and for some, their means of support, has been lost in the knee jerk, ill thought out, rush to stop agents.

Whatever happens, the agents and such will, as usual, find a way to circumvent the system.
