I don't think you have the power or authority to tell the poster what to do
He was merely pointing out the difference in police attitudes between the countries and I believe the poster is quite right. It is refreshing to go to a person in uniform who just politely does their job as opposed to thinking their uniform entitles them to privileges over the average citizen
Real romance does not carry a cost by the way with regards to your other comments.

Name and Shame. Then deport. Thai people don't earn much money and having this old Farang steal the lady money is disgusting.
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.

His actions in no way impact on me! I have done nothing wrong. I wouldn't blame every Thai resident in the U.K. if the situation was reversed, so why should they?
A selfish or a bad-hearted person is just that, regardless of their country of origin.
Any Thai or foreigner who views it that way is as stupid as the moron who took the money!

He doesn't look as if he has ever been short of a meal. So what a low thing to do. He saw her drop it from the very beginning.
The other 1,000 baht is the interest she now wants on the money now that the thief has been identified.
Thai style!

Not a lot to say really. Shameful and blatant theft!
A man of his age one would think would have had more about himself.

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.

... rhetorical question...
Exactly!
Penalize the poor natives!!!!, who were probably/ definitely told, that without paying the ' under the table money ' they would have no chance of citizenship or documentation.
As it turned out, they still don't have a chance.
SHAMEFuL.

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!
Where's his ' watch gift? ' Are you hiding it in the flowers!....corrupt <deleted>!

but I have a paper - a promissory note - as long as that sum is not paid back - I can stay in the house
only it was never enclosed to the land papers -
so she can take a loan on the house - she did already and could sale it - but until than - I stay ????
I think you very well may be wrong on that score my friend.
If a loan is taken against the property through an official lending source and your promissory note source has not been registered, as you have said, then the house is at risk.
If you had registered a ' usufruct ' then money could not be borrowed against the property without your express permission.

Jesus,
She is just a full-on prostitute! .........................Your money is gone, you are yesterday's news.
Women like her do not ever give a damn about their kids. They are pure ' bargaining chips ' to be wheeled out at will.
You are there purely for the few thousand baht she can scratch around and get when the bigger fish have gone back to Europe, and I think, YOU KNOW THIS WELL.
When you talk about the kids, you should be looking at ways to get them to your own country as hanging around over here in Thailand, you are just going to end up a ' sad case ' like most of the guys do when the money is finished.
If that is not an option, resign yourself to the fact of just being a ' convenience ' for her. Make no mistake, you will get no sympathy from her or the village matey. They never respect weakness or kindness.

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.

Thanks for proving my point. I pointed out that given your political predilections, it's unlikely that you're "not a fan of Trump". And you reply with a completely irrelevant rant that only further supports my contention.
A good job there are guys like Trump around to counter left-wing, liberal lunatics! ......who all think the moon is made of green cheese.

I understood it all until her having to sign a guarantee for another 870K, that I could not fathom out at all if she hadn't borrowed anything to warrant it?

They know we have all cottoned on to the ' good taxi driver' lark!........????????????????????????
They also know that even though it is Thailand, we wouldn't believe that a Phuket taxi driver returned a wallet, even to a Chinese!
That would be, even by their standards, a bridge too far!

Age of Consent and Extortion - Statutory Rape
in Family and Children
Posted
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.
