The English of the reports on this site provide enough amusement in itself to read articles, even if the topic is of no interest! I guess it's good to know that the individual fell from a height rather than just from the floor they were standing on....🤡

"The woman dearly attempted to reclaim her phone... pulling at his shorts..." That was some kind of affection being exercised so "dearly"... I don't know how one could come up with this kind of writing, even using a dictionary!? How on earth can that word possibly work in this scenario!?

Don't say it's so!! It can't possibly be drug induced! How dare they assume such a preposterous thing! It's just normal dirty farang behavior, just ask you know who.

Are you suggesting that this person is not an heiress? That could be borderline misgendering! hmmm defamation?

This will most certainly increase the percentage of quality tourists!

🤢

Oh yes! Don't you know it! According to the high authority of the so-called/professing Christian and President (at the time) George W. Bush - "the Muslim faith is based upon peace and love and compassion." 🤮

Scum like this need more than merely deporting. Breaking and entering/trespassing alone is a serious offense in my book, but death threats? Yeah, that's a hard no. Give someone a credible death threat under circumstances like that and I'd say at least a month or two in jail and then mandatory deportation with a 10 year ban. How do imbeciles like this continue to be able to live illegally for so long!? I'm guessing that he likely has caused many other problems, but people just haven't bothered taking the time reporting or filing complaints against him. In a way I can understand that. Nobody (normal people) wants to get involved in such dirty stuff and wants to live their life in peace. It's a lot easier to just turn away from problems. Unfortunately, this often gives license to fools like this and they go on to cause problems in society.

Yeah, I think that is easily possible to get lax when you work with large amounts of gold every day for decades. A friend of mine's grandfather was murdered while transporting a large amount of gold from his gold shop. If I was transporting the amount of gold that he was, I sure wouldn't have been doing it alone and my situational awareness would have been on extremely sensitive mode. But for him, it was just another day, unfortunately, his last one.

"lucky guy" I think you meant "vile thief"

A true comedy. Sadly, the tickets for admission to the show are quite expensive as the whole country is paying for this farce.

I've never understood why people take their seat belts off in airplanes. I suppose it is ignorance, but it seems like very simple common sense to keep belted up unless needing to go to the toilet. I think the "fasten seat belts" indicator is actually a disservice to passengers. It makes people who don't have common sense, feel safe to be seated without their seat belts on unless otherwise instructed. Seat belts fastened should be the norm while flying and no need for a sign only during certain times. Why treat it differently than a car? Turbulence is a very well-known factor that is not always predictable.

1. I wouldn't buy into any reporting of the likes we get here, regarding the truth about the nationality of any individual, until a picture of their passport is shown. They have been known to call Thai citizens, Tai Yai because of their ethnicity and thus avoid calling them nasty Thai people. 2. Assuming it's accurate that they are actually Burmese nationals, we're talking about teens here... since when have teens had any sense to appreciate or be grateful for much of anything, especially teens of this ilk?

That'll get the applications for the elite visa soaring to new records! Just think, you can be assured that everyone will know you're pure because you've been investigated. What a wonderful feeling! Just don't give them any reason to want to throw some random charges at you! Like criticize ANYTHING about Thailand, in Thailand, relating to Thailand, or even around Thailand - like Asia for that matter. As has been noted, a prosecutor could indict a ham sandwich, if he wanted to....

🤣This has become a meme....

I could be wrong, but I'd suspect that he wasn't wanted by the FBI until after he left the country. He was on bail. I don't think the FBI cares about every Tom, Dick, and Harry (or insert your favorite immigrant names) who is on bail. But they do care about bail-jumpers who leave the country.

No offense taken. Was just confused a bit with the all caps and apparently being thought that I was irritated. Thanks 🙂

Thanks for the clarification. But, "CHILL"?? Why the LOUD demand, when I wasn't hot about anything to begin with? Yes, who knows where on earth we all came from, that was part of my point. That being, it is not exactly known from where and when the American Indians came to the land, but it has been found for certain that there were others before them. They were not first (not "First Nations" as erroneously called up in Canada), nor are they the indigenous people of the land. They were immigrants.

well unless one of your ancestors was a native born AMERICAN INDIAN as we call them, then you are still have some immigrant stained blood running through your veins. "Immigrant stained blood"? Why is having immigrant blood a stain??? How about immigrant blessed blood 😄 Immigrants, from day one, made what has been one of the most significant nations in world history. And American Indians weren't the first on the land that now makes up the U.S.A. either. DNA and archeological research has found some fascinating things about this. And, not surprisingly, it doesn't fit the narrative that the public education system is pushing so hard these days. And if they truly believed their own rhetoric, they'd give their university and high school lands over to the American Indians, since so many of these ideologically twisted folks say that the schools that they themselves are administering, are on stolen land! lol What a bunch of nincompoop hypocrites. By the way, radiochaser. I believe we've met a good number of years ago. I can't quite remember the circumstances, but your username here is very unique and very familiar 🙂 I wonder if there's a way to direct message on here... I'll have to check....

That is a hilarious abbreviation for "Non-Immigrant ED (Education) Visa"! It is closer to the reality of so many people who are on that visa: "Non-Ed" = Non Education! Even in the article, the writer (definitely not a journalist) refers to people on this visa as "tourists"! That's probably closer to the truth than people who are getting any kind of education. They should just get honest and have a DUMB visa (Directionless Unfit Meandering Buffoon). That would probably be more fitting for the majority of people applying for a so-called "Non-Ed Visa".

Never heard of anyone being arrested or charged with "potential assault". That's a new one.

Wow! So wonderful to see his recovery! He was at death's door until he was able to receive the amazing medical care in Thailand. And maybe he was able to make it back up to Chiangmai to do breathing exercises of that beautifully fresh air up there. He's not even in a wheelchair, no neck brace, no ventilator! Heck nobody is even keeping their hand on him to help him with his balance! I guess keeping out of politics also helped relieve the stress load. What an modern miracle and example for all to follow!

No disagreement in that he behaved like a thug. In my experience and reading, "thug" has normally referenced a criminal type, especially who is part of a group or gang. That's why I referred to the punks in this report as thugs and referred to the Swiss guy simply as an idiot. But yes, he was behaving thuggish for sure.

Definitely agree that there is a ridiculous amount of complaining that goes on in this forum. It gets downright toxic far too often. In this case, Thais being arrested for what could essentially amount to attempted murder, shouldn't be anything in particular to be touting as something so special that someone actually got arrested. I think people equate things like an idiot kicking a lady in the back and leaving a bit of a red mark (which could easily be left by a slight scuffing of the fabric against the skin, especially a lady's softer more sensitive skin) and having the aggressor's face and business paraded all over the place as worthy of complaining to a case against when thugs like these may get arrested, but the town will likely hardly care and they won't have their places of work or businesses publicized and there won't be protests in the streets to have them put away for a good long time, even though they actually put lives in danger over a situation similar to the Swiss guy - someone wanted someone to move. The Thais endangered human lives. The Swiss guy committed a simple assault with hardly any danger more than maybe the possibility of breaking a fingernail and an ego. The outcome between the two are hardly comparable for the level of the results among the public and media. Of course, that's just one example. But I think that's the gist of why so many make harshly negative remarks on this sort of thing. So, in this case, I would say it is more justified. Whereas very often, I agree that the complaining and racist sorts of remarks get ridiculous. Your rant is justified on many threads in this forum, but in this thread, I think you more or less went the same route as those complainers.

"Phi and Shi then got out of their SUV and asked Rattaphum and their friends to move." That equates to confronting? Drunk and foolhardy or arrogant? Not sure how you come to that conclusion. How about they needed to get somewhere and they saw that the car ahead of them could move, but maybe its occupants were playing water fights with people on the street instead? Who knows.... The two foreigners may have been perfectly polite. They may not have been polite. We don't know. But either way, being asked to move politely or rudely is not a reason for attempting to kill someone. Stabbing is a hell of a lot more serious than a many people seem to think. You imply that they had a reason to try to kill these guys. That's pretty extreme. They may have had an excuse, but nothing remotely close to a reason that anyone can possibly reasonably conclude from this article.
