German Tourist Severely Beaten in Pattaya by Group of 10 Men
Scouse123 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Don't hate anything. I just speak as it is, warts and all as opposed to some of you that prefer to describe it as some Valhalla which it isn't I don't walk around in a trance saying how wonderful everything is. -
Border Run Report Cambodia to Thailand and Back
Scouse123 replied to Yagoda's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
I am in and out of Cambodia six times a year at least. I will never, after using the Poipet border twice, will do it ever again. Furthermore, I would sooner eat my feet than use that border. Better to fly in than use that border, however, in my location I can use the Chong Chom / O Smach border crossing with decent, humane, helpful officials on both sides of the border. -
Border Run Report Cambodia to Thailand and Back
Scouse123 replied to Yagoda's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
Why anybody uses the Poipet/Aranyaprathet border is simply beyond me when there are so many pleasant and easy borders to choose from. The place stinks and is rampant with corruption and lousy, uncaring, mean officials. -
German Tourist Severely Beaten in Pattaya by Group of 10 Men

Your argument is sunk to the bottom of the Ocean, those guys intervened just purely and simply to vent anger because the guy was a foreigner. They admitted as much, they admitted they didn't know what the argument was even about. Too many on here need calling out, they try to ' go local ' and pretend they are ' almost Thai ' all is rosy in the garden, and Thais are ' my friends ' etc. Well, you come upcountry and get into a dispute with anybody, no matter how much ' right ' is on your side, they are not interested. Get into a land dispute or lend them money, and you'll soon see how friendly they are. -

Safe countries by and large, I would be saying Monaco, Poland, Croatia, Norway, Iceland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Singapore, Hong Kong, Austria, New Zealand. So your post is BS. Thailand ranks 76th out of 163 countries. Even now, there are Embassy travel warnings, especially for the South of Thailand. In 30 years, I've seen plenty of unprovoked attacks by Thais on foreigners and Thais on Thais. Yes, there are plenty of stupid foreigners, and because of what Thailand offers, Sex, drugs and Rock and Roll, it goes with the territory as a holiday destination for these things and attracts this kind of people. Regards London, that is the only point you have expressed that I agree with and can be backed up as factual. -
Thaksin Concedes: Yingluck's Songkran Return Delayed Again
Scouse123 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That isn't the point of how much money they have. They are way down the pecking order of super rich in Thailand. Top Individuals and Families: Chalerm Yoovidhya and family: Co-owners of Red Bull energy drink, with a net worth of $36 billion. Chearavanont Brothers: Owners of Thailand's largest conglomerate, Charoen Pokphand Group (CP), with a net worth of $29 billion. Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi: Founder and chairman of Thai Beverage, with a net worth of $10 billion. Chirathivat Family: Owners of the Central Group, with a net worth of $9.9 billion. Sarath Ratanavadi: With a net worth of $9.2 billion. Vanich Chaiyawan: Prasert Prasarttong-Osoth: Somphote Ahunai: Prayudh Mahagitsiri: No way is she going to risk coming back if jail is an option, which it currently is, unless a certain person intervenes. The heat is still on over Thaksin's preferential treatment, and it hasn't gone away, they can't risk antagonizing the situation further -

I certainly don't need your advice about either living or visiting here. What qualifies you to advise me? I've been here 30 years and visited nearly every province in the country, I also know the underbelly of Thailand and speak the language. And it most certainly is NOT the safest country on earth, silly statement. TAKE OFF YOUR ROSE COLOURED GLASSES, WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE. Plenty of murders take place over trivial matters, murders and rape of tourists, especially on some of the islands, is commonplace. Some of the most dangerous roads in the world. Safest country on earth-you are ridiculous. -

Why don't a lot of you guys just accept that there are young Thai thugs that just enjoy and ' get off ' on dishing out unwanted and gratuitous violence to foreigners for no reason whatsoever. -

Methinks he isn't getting the nod from the all powerful to pave the way for her return. -

Correct, Just thugs and bullies who love the ' gang ' mentality. Very few are brave on their own, and when caught, they scream for Mummy and Daddy and blame their classmates. -
David Lammy Calls Out Family Member for ‘Unnecessary’ Benefit Claims

😆😆😆😆 She's a star, isn't she! -
Don't believe all you read and these feckless idiots are visited often by Embassy represtatives or volunteers. The police know this and are very careful. Foreigners get taken care of better than Thais . He is making it up to garner sympathy for his Go fund me cause. The Thai police and prison holding cells are a damn sight better than they were 25 years ago, and treatment of prisoners has come a long way to the benefit of those incarcerated. I know, I have been there. He is lying.

1. They don't shackle people in the police cells only for transfer to the courts. 2. Water is freely available. 3. Stealing a car usually is a 5 year prison sentence. 4. Police cells don't flood and the police would not attack him unless provoked. They would then get other prisoners to do the job for them 5 it does not cost £5000 for a return ticket and a one way ticket to the UK. It could be closer to £2000. I think the guy is a liar and loser. The money he has paid out would be in compensation to the car owner, and money to get the charges dropped.

British Jumper’s Tragic Video Fuels Site Closure Demands

Well he wouldn't be posting if the guy had landed on him😂😂😂 -
Yes, He'll get good behaviour reductions and substantial reductions on such celebrations like the King's birthday etc, as it was a non-violent crime, as in not a murder etc, and the case is not related to drugs. He'll probably also qualify for home detention and ankle tag at a later date, not too far in the future.
