Doing "research" does not give you a degree in epidemiology. Anything that does not come from a recognized and vetted reliable source is still third party speculation. Just because someone "does research" doesn't mean it was done objectively and broadly enough to draw definitive conclusions. People can find "research" to back up virtually anything.

He had to have a reason for doing it. Maybe he WANTED to stir up a lot of attention.

I challenge you to look around yourself, your house, your car, everything, and find anything that's not made in China. You must not be paying attention. Chinese products are here to stay.

You must be a genius. Not. There's much more to it than that, but it requires a college education and being a native American of at least age 65 to actually understand.

If you're confused look up communism on wikipedia. But I think you know perfectly well what the answer is and you're just trying to stir up trouble. Too much time on your hands, eh?

I agree. You're sick. No sympathy whatsoever for the victim.

Yup. You can't trust those Catholic priests around children.

So there's no such corruption in your home country? No lazy or incompetent people in your home beaurocricy? The only difference in Thailand is that it's no secret and everyone knows how the brown envelope economy works.

that's always the case with any crime, but you have to push back rather than let it run rampant

You're being sarcastic because of all the farang whiners about non existent racism, right?

Probably fine, deportation, and banned from returning. Hope it was worth it.

I'm sure some of that information is being researched, but they might want to keep their investigation tactics secret, other than these people might have made it easy for anyone who is looking to find them. Could be that they were turned in by the locals. Maybe the Pakistani guy just did well in the suit business. If you think about it, anyone who comes here gets entered into the database, so just conducting a search there could turn up thousands.

Well that would work, but having anecdotal reviews has a bigger impact. There are bumps in every road

Absolutely right. I'm a musician, and a dispute about cancellation fees (they had let me actually show up at a wedding party and then cancelled me without cause) led to a guy completely fabricating a review on the booking agency's page. He removed it when the agency caught on, I could have sued for defamation and won, but I had a lot of things going on at the time.

Huh?

Jerking what? Oh, puppet strings you say?

Bait and switch. A time honored tradition for con artists in every walk of life, especially politicians

I think Thai people just don't understand the humor. I've told jokes many times that Thai people don't get because of cultural divide. Many Americans don't get British humor. This to me is a collection of dysfunctional doofuses trying to make their way through humorous situations which are exaggerated for comedic effect, whereas Thais just don't get comedic American satire and visual buffoonery. I think if Thai people are familiar with American culture they'd understand the humor and not take it as and insult. They might just as well have chosen New York and made fun of all its quirks, the New Yorkers would have laughed because it's their city and they know its quirks.

As right as you may be, governments don't tend to do any of the things you suggest, and that's the problem

I agree, the only real ɑsshοIes I've ever run into here have been foreigners. Most of the criminals are Russians. Maybe this article will slow down the influx. But placing 30th isn't that bad, although I think the US isn't safe either, but mostly for Americans. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2535740/russians-top-list-of-crimes-by-foreigners

And did Austin Powers show up in his Mini Cooper? Do the easter bunny and Santa Claus pay you regular visits? Have you always been a pathological liar? Next time you want to make up a story you might want to try and make it minimally believable. Most of us know that Interpol is not a law enforcement agency and has no agents with arresting powers. It functions as an administrative liaison among the law enforcement agencies of the member countries, providing communications and database assistance, mostly through its central headquarters in Lyon. Good luck with your next fairy tale.

Absolutely right. Why ignorant people post such things is baffling. Overinflated ego? Probably some need to feel important for people who are otherwise losers with no self respect or self esteem. Interpol indeed. Next you will hear him claim that Austin Powers once saved him from Dr. Evil.

Nobody's business but his. He's a grown man. Likely he had a falling out. We can be glad nothing has happened to him. I'm sure that he doesn't want all of this attention.

Man, you're about as shallow as a mud puddle in the street after the rain. You're hallucinating - the voices in your head - they're not real., don't listen to them. Get onto some medication before it's too late.

So you're looking to single out Thai people for what reason? Do you think this stuff doesn't happen anywhere else? It happens everywhere, your country, my country, why are you oblivious to that? I'm wondering if there's something wrong in your brain. "All kind of news like this" comes from an Asian news source aseannow.com, Thaiger, Bangkok News, which mainly cover Asian news, duh. You are drawing erroneous conclusions because you do not seek and find the big picture, the world picture, world news. On the other side of the coin, Asian news gets little coverage from media in other countries. Go to yahoo.com, huffpost.com. AP, CNN, Al Jazeera, and read what happens in the rest of the world. It's all the same, only more so in the west. There was just an assassination attempt against a US former president last week. Did you hear about that? There have been several mass murders in the past month in the US. Did you know about that? A kid was stabbed 18 times. An old woman was punched in the face as she walked on the sidewalk. No, Thailand doesn't even compare to the violence and murder in the US. You need to get out more.
