One benefit of the border conflict... Actual border surveillance and control

Feel for the guy but it's hard to comprehend how you can dig yourself a hole as deep as this one...if penniless his life in Oz ain't going to be much better

No doubt the "rehabilitation" culled a lot of the inefficiencies and nepotism thai was renowned for, but I still find this sudden profit margin a little hard to believe, probably just more creative accounting

A lot is cultural too, I can guarantee immigrants of certain ethnic groups are disproportionately overrepresented in beach drownings in Australia. Often at isolated beaches with no flags. They just have no idea how treacherous the ocean can be 🌊

Trying to agitate his military pals back into the power seat ... Someone should put a very tight bag over this clowns head...

How do you "abduct" armed soldiers 😂 these bums were clearly captured during a confrontation with the thais, and bloody lucky to be treated as well as they have

Flaunting that sort of wealth under the noses of authorities here for 5yrs until Oz fed police obviously spoon fed them the details 🤔

And you don't think thais have access to do this now despite the worthless gambling laws ?.... There's this thing called the internet lol

Not surprising, the previous 50/50 cashback scheme for hospitality was a poorly implemented scam

Absolutely mind boggling (if true...) that a Wat held funds of nearly 1bn baht 9 years ago, I know Ubon pretty well and that seems astounding.. Maybe a massive wat in BKK or CM with celebrity benefactors... As previous posters state, poor people hand over money to these places beyond their means. Thankfully my Mrs sees them for what many of them are... Freeloading jailbirds lying low, trying scams on anyone they can. Not all of course, some genuine

Seems the treacherous military faction, pockets still filled from their turn at the trough, have paid off this treacherous old murderer to try and create an "event" to allow them to get back at the helm...

No fan of the woman-child PM, but these idiotic vexatious litigants should all be put on an island together to bore and annoy each other to death....

Sort of thing done on a daily basis by drunk/drugged/unstable locals all over the country, not to defend this idiots actions.. lock up and big fine

In defence of the OP it is very clear that many deaths of Frail/elderly/ underlying conditions people during the pandemic were attributed to covid, where in reality they simply died of old age, or they were already ill and covid just finished them off, just as the complications of getting the flu in those circumstances would have done. Its very clear in hindsight that media and governments used these statistics to whip up hysteria to scare people into doing the right thing...I speak mainly from my experience in Australia at the time, I'm sure most countries were the same... Thailand obviously was

Seems a little overzealous, but fleeing a checkpoint you are opening yourself up to whatever comes...I imagine the cops presume drugs etc and pursue
