So if the USA guy is broke, or claims to be, and offers no money or means or willingness to buy a ticket back to the USA, what happens?  Thailand locks him up?  If he gets the deportation order, who buys the ticket, and to where?

The US will let him stay in prison for up to 50 days,  then within a week of hitting the deportation center they will repatriate him with all costs paid in order to do this.  This is their standard policy.

That policeman looks very jealous indeed.

Sheesh!  I thought it was only the low class Europeans and Americans doing it, but now the Asians are getting in on the act.  

 

Don't worry,  as soon as some of them start to go missing,  get murdered or beaten half to death on a video,  then imprisoned for starting the fight,  this will all end.

Unfortunately this is the inevitable outcome for some naiive copycats at some stage.

Hopefully I'm wrong.

Hmm, would not surprise me in the slightest to learn that the British Embassy were bending over backwards to provide Lane with all the "consular assistance" he may need, while leaving his British victim entirely to his own devices.

The British Consular  "service"  provided for British subjects is totally rotten and involved in any and all manner of organised crime;  all of which I'm aware of being focused against those very subjects' best interests.

That area of BK is where they're based.

I fear that this point is well made,  whilst I'm glad it was made as I'd not've thought to put the two constants together,  i.e.:
1.  thieves don't just do their thing one time then not again  (usually);  and,
2.  to do this under the noses of CCTV would indicate that he knows he'll get away with it,
therefore,  it would seem that this crime's discovery was a catalogue of errors which somehow crept past the complicit beneficiaries without their realization.

Two things.
ONE:
From the photo it only looks like there's five  storeys,  in which I'm including the top of the building as a storey,  so there's definitely not five floors  (which you can all see).
TWO:
Somehow they  "know"  he departed from the third floor.  I have no idea how they have confirmed this,  unless of course there's witnesses,  in which case this is:
a.  not coroborated,  therefore not a fact at all,  but a statement or hearsay pending cross examination in court;  and,

b.  would indicate that the witness---real or imagined---would have seen if he tripped and fell over the over-waist-height guard wall/rail,

therefore,  the whole story's totally riddled with strong deception indicators,  and of course the lack of any possibility of the only possible non-murder scenario is that he was wandering about on the guardrail or wall when he fell,  or,  as would be the case if he was foreign;  he committed suicide.

Total suspect as with all deaths from height in Thailand.

For the more keen researcher of the Thai jumping pandemic,  I would urge readers to look up the CIA's assassination manual from the 1960's where all agents tasked with killing people were told them to throw the body off as higher a height as possible,  to destroy totally or largely contaminate any evidence on the corpse of any prior foul play,  which was the actual cause of their death.   In this case,  as we can see,  the body hasn't shattered,  so this would indicate that suicide would be the most likely,  but we must consider,  if the building had a lift,  then it would be totally safe for a couple of killers to drag the body up to the roof to throw him off there,  as no one would use the stairs in this country should that've been the case.

It's very rare for me to praise the police, but a big thanks for nabbing these filthy creatures. One more paedo off the streets. 

Let's calm down a minute.
Who says that they're  "off the streets"?
Also,  fifteen's not young enough to make anyone a pedo,  and in France their age of consent's twelve,  adn now they've just said it's OK if they're eleven if they  "consent",  so should we bad French people from our country because legally any one of them could well be attracted to pre-pubescent children,  i.e. a paedophile and child molestor in the technical context.

LOL theres equally as many heavy party heads from russia or germany or everywhere .

If they were Australian convict descendants,  they'd actually be penetrating each other in the street,  so I really can't see the big deal.

Excuse e if someone else has come up with this elementary problem with this latest version of the story.  If the Aussy was always  "like this"  a.k.a.  "a trouble maker",  yet also a regular,  how does this make sense?

Surely being violent against the staff would get him barred?  What on earth was he doing in there?

I'm not saying that he was or he wasn't or that he even did anything,  but the fundamental issue isn't the death,  as deaths happen all the time.  The issue is that if the bar lets people do stuff like this,  then ultimately they're to blame.

If  he's a violent drunk,  then he should be kept out of places when he's drunk.  This is probably the main reason that people get barred from drinking places.  If you let people in who're known to create such a scene as that which is alleged,  then this kind of thing will happen all of the time.

Violent people get barred.  If they weren't barred then this kind of thing would be happening in every bar in every town,  all over the world.

The bar is probably lying,  granted,  but the lies do come at a cost,  and the cost is,  no one with any sense should ever go there again.

I agree that the legal systems in the West are all a total joke with people getting seven years for a bit of tax evasion and then murdering someone or raping a baby can see you out in eighteen months or a suspended sentence.  I mean,  even if there's some mitigating circumstances,  someone who's on probation ought surely to be there until the end of a standard second-degree murder duration,  not two years.

However,  I've come across previously nasty violent people who turn over a new leaf,  then years' go by,  they see something really bad and they lose it.  If he's seen someone strangling a waitress,  then of course he'll go mental and lose it totally.

Of course,  we are yet to know whether this is just a made up embellishment as he's paid them off and's on his way to getting a slap on the wrists.

I worked as a volunteer for two years with vso. 

 

My reasons for doing so were nothing to do with sexually abusing children or adults. 

 

Neither am I or ever was a “wally” or a spy. 

I'm generalising,  and as far as the sex predators,  I was certainly not saying it was a large proportion,  but it was always there.  Good for you,  doing it for free.  Charity should be for free after all.  In our new sick world,  it's generally a well-paying profession now for most,  which doesn't seem to have sunk in to the public.
In the UK you can spend as little as 2% of the  "charity".'s income on the actual charity,  so you can just say it's all admin and give all your mates jobs,  and they don't get audited remotely properly so this can go on for years and there's no penalty as this is legal.

I think the current tory govt is a bunch of inept, lastminute.com idiots. 

 

Yet here I am, finding myself in 100% agreement with the tories and applauding their stance here. 

 

If the allegations about events in Chad, made elsewhere, are also true, doubly so. 

 

Strange days indeed. 

I know quite a few people who've worked in those specific places for charities and NGOs and in all cases,  a lot of the employees get involved in charity so that they can have sex with child prostitutes.

Trust me,  this is what the CIA calls "limited hang out",  i.e. it's coming out so let's control the volcano so that the full extent isn't discovered.

No one with much about them really cares if they have sex with prostitutes given the other things that are going on around them and in the rest of the world,  but if they're little kids then everyone cares.

Charities are the biggest scam on Earth,  but the people who're out on the ground are often well-meaning wallies.  Also,  let's not forget there's a story behind this story as the charity and NGO sector's where they recruit and place spies,  so you've got a lot of people who depend on being as dodgy as <deleted> to get the job in the first place.

I get a very bad feeling about this story.  I think he was probably weak;  i.e. susceptible,  but there's more to this than just this one killing.  What will come out I don't know.  All I know is there's a malignant evil lingering about this story  (and I don't just mean a killing of one person).

I cannot even begin to describe how much I cringe when I see foreigners waiing everyone from supermarket cashiers to restaurant waiters, fish mongers in the wet market to go-go dancers, totally convinced that staying in the kingdom for a couple of months has made them "native" and that they're doing the right thing.

 

Even worse are those fellas I occasionally bump into at a bar,  those who think they have matured into genuine "Thailand experts" by spending two short vacations here and who feel compelled to start lecturing me about the Thai way of life, what to do and what not to do and who brag about their fantastic Thai-language skills (usually consisting of a few disjointed and wrongly pronounced words), and who are entirely ignorant of the fact that I've been living here for well over a quarter of a century, speak the local language almost fluently, and yes, know when, how and whom to wai. Brrrrr... shudder.

It's even better when they say that  'I'm[we're] down with the local culture'  and they've not realised that the people they  'learned the culture from'  are actually Burmese.

I get what you're saying and it could have been twisted by picking out an alleged remark from some statement he's allegedly made but on the other hand,  maybe the Thai just wanted the dirty pedopoofter away from children,  in a nice safe jailhouse.

All good Thais know that being a homosexual means you are likely a danger to children.  In this regard Thais  ARE  superiour to other races,  like moronic white people who're allowing the likes of paedophile endorsing Peter Tatchell and actual pedo and Australia's  "leading gay activist"  Garry Burns on their TVs.  These people are so incredibly sick it's actaully hard to get people to believe what they say.  Garry recently said in court that to associate gays with sodomy should be a crime.  His emails to his asian spunk spounge were recently leeked out and they're all about him meeting up with multiple boys a week to sodomise them.

These depraved perverts need to be stopped.

The problem with helping a thai women defend herself against a Thai man, is that when you join in, his friends will join in on you, or he'll be off to get his buddies. 

No,  no,  no.  You beat the shit out of them so they can't get their friends because they are unconscious.  <deleted> hell.  You give getting in a fight abroad a totally misleading,  depressing---yet significantly---illogical context.
They would beat the shit out of you,  so if they want a fight or they've pushed you to it,  you do what they would do to you.
Their country,  their rules.
Whilst a significant of Thais are quite hard,  on average they're cowardly and even the hard ones are frightened of foreigners as they know that they will occasionally clobber them.
Just have fun with it and you may save some lives.

NOTE:  This advice varies if you're on an island where you have limited escape routes or if they know where you are staying,  but be clear that the ones who start fights are often thinking they're gangsters,  so don't delude yourself;  if they're not totally <deleted>,  they'll remember you and if they're not too ashamed to tell their friends,  then that could be dangerous,  so think through the altercation and the consequences of all this where possible.

It's on the telly.  Therefore it must be true.

Correct,  this is either a direct or proxy Israeli Secret Intelligence Service operation.  Tiring retardery abound.

I think this is a great idea. And just perhaps the Thai schoolkids will learn from the farang NOT to just accept what they are told just because someone is of a higher status than themselves. maybe they will learn to ask more questions if the first answer does not solve the problem...maybe the kids will learn to THINK for themselves...When the farang is not happy with what they are first told and pose further questions that the kids then have to ask in Thai of the police officer....maybe the kids will start to learn to NOT fear asking questions/seeking more information from an older person of higher station in life than themselves >>>>>>>>>. Just maybe . 

Aisde the inevitable not actually translating anything and being able to claim to have had a translation,  I see a lose-lose situation here.
Either:
1.  the children will preclude the ability to bribe the police to let you go from whatever scam they're pulling;  or,
2.  the children will be inveigled into the criminal culture before even leaving school,  as happens when young people are at the beckon call of senior criminals,  like happened when I worked in Malaysia for a spell for Balfour Beatty,  and the morons from Loughborough University were all getting paid $1 per hour and thinking this was the way to do things,  whilst complicit in serious indictable crimes that will hang over them for the rest of their lives.

Two months to hit the news raises enough suspicion. Regardless of the circumstances of death, the fact that this story has seemingly been purposefully suppressed and kept out of the news warrants re-investigation. 

Funny, the foreign resident who vociferously protested the Samui Times article last week made no mention of this death (no surprise). But it should make one wonder how he could write his letter while likely knowing about (or possibly having attended the scene) of this last death. It is a small island after all and he claims he attended the Witheridge/Miller crime scene.

Well Steve, no suspicious deaths right? Took only 2 months to hit the newswire. You know what Steve? What I think is suspicious is the fact you knew about her death around the time this happened according to the Samui Times , I quote:

 

""According to the girl’s mother the girl’s body was then taken to Surat Thani by the Koh Tao rescue team, however this is denied by Steven Drylie from the Koh Tao rescue team told the Samui Times the girl had died in Koh Phangan, although he did admit she had visited Koh Tao""

 

I guess the Samui Times has it all wrong and is twisting the facts since she did die on Koh Tao, not Koh Phangan, right Steve? Nothing suspicious here!  She just woke up because of a fire, fled the scene in a hurry to the other side of the island and decided to hang herself. Nothing suspicious here!

 

 

 

Excellent points.  Excellent points I'd've missed without you having so cleverly pointed them out.  Do you think that the fire and missing luggage were things to cover up a crime;  i.e. rape or maybe robbery/theft,  or maybe both?  They do like to burn tires for no reason aside washing being hung up,  so this fire starting where only tourists could have started it sounds a bit far fetched in a tropical climbate where any fire can easily be put out and would be faily well a non-event.

They're going to need a lot of 500 baht passengers to recoup their investment. Similar railways in other parts of the world charge many multiples of that amount.

 

 

I've worked on railways and metros in both the UK and in Malaysia & Thailand.
Whilst there's a stealathon going on in S.E. Asia where it comes to such projects,  they pale into insignificance when compared to the Freemasonic boondoggle which is the UK's rail system,  where everything costs several-thousand-percent more than it needs to.  I can't speak for other countries in the West through experience,  but if the Masons are finding a way to keep tens' of thousands of their members in work,  doing absolutely nothing in the UK,  then this surely means that they'll be doing this in all other countries where they're parasiting---which will at least be the case in Western Europe.

I have been on metros in less Mason-infested countries---Prague,  for instance---and the ticket was so cheap,  it was virtually free.

If you have a train line going through a load of open countryside on underdeveloped previous networks,  brown and greenfield sites,  you'll find that it's a lot harder to steal money at such an alarming rate,  as there's less excuses for these costs and what's being laid down will be there for all to see,  and for those who care,  the equipment can be looked up online and so it's a lot harder to justify the  'One for you ninety-nine for me'  cost-to-mark up ratio,  in terms of what gets put in the ground and what you steal.

Korat's link to BK is all about supply of poor people to do poorly paid jobs,  in terms of volume.  They could run a load of trains per day and all in all,  due to the paupers' snack consumption,  this would be a very affordable ticket price as they will spend a day's wages on snacks per two hours,  so whilst seemingly counter-intuitive,  the poorer people actually benefit from what to a normal society's person would seem like a totally extravagant express service.

 

He went on holiday to Pattaya  (either or):

"play golf";
relax and hang about,  having some beers,  enjoying the sea breeze,  the sound of the water and get away from life in Australia;  or,

something similar.

Being Australian,  I suppose the appeals of wandering about getting red and sweating through all his clothes in two days' time didn't appeal to him,  so we're safe to say staying out in the evening would be appealing.  Further,  Aussie's got idiotic licencing laws unless it's a night club,  so this would be an additional bonus,  as night clubs and
men don't normally go together that well.

As impaired as I've long-back learned many of the commenters on here to be in terms of education,  gullibility and resounding low self-esteem,  to be criticising someone for walking along the road in a 24/7 country does further disappoint me.

I wonder where and what you'll all reincarnate to,  or will the creator just not bother to go through what for some seems to be a benefitless process?
