Past tense. 😬

Imagine if they had a press conference very time they arrested a Thai for similar level offences... 🙄

They will, though. That's the problem.

Yes, wait until the dog kills someone, then you know the dangerous ones that you need to do something about. What a genius Roger is... 🙄

I'm glad they didn't get away with these two crimes. The strolling along Walking Street being the worser of the two.

"My job is to build the road, not worry about utility poles."

Could easily be that they were asking her a series of questions to gauge her legitimacy as a tourist, with some intended to confuse or amuse, observing her response.

To be fair, if they bought 10,000 of them, that's 5,200,000.

I think there are two factors. 1, men and women are about 10-20 years apart in terms of when they peak in eligibility. 2, they're also about 10-20 years apart when it comes to aging. A man at 18 has potential, but is not super attractive as a long-term romantic partner. He needs to work hard to achieve this. A woman at 18 is almost peak attractiveness as a long-term partner. She needs to work hard to maintain this. Men are probably peaking at 30-40, in terms of attractiveness as a long-term partner, while women have already lost a lot of attractiveness by this age. This is why it seems so natural that men should find younger women attractive, while women find older men attractive. In terms of aging, while a woman will begin to look very old by her 50s, a man will still look OK. But once a man reaches 70, he's probably going to be showing his age also. I think that one of the problems with relationships in the modern West, is that while there was this kind of imbalance, there was a kind of deal where if the women was chaste, the guy stayed with her forever, even when she was old and unattractive while he was still fairly eligible. Now that women want to sleep around until their 30s, men are losing interest.

Likely a typo, but this chap does seem a little bit loopy. He seems oddly obsessed with the idea that someone claiming that the state may abuse the power to kill people at will is, in fact, an attempt to justify rape and torture committed by criminals. 🤔

Women are very different to men, so probably not.

So, for 1-10 years, imprisonment is OK, but more than 10 and we should just kill them?

Even Thailand?!!! 😱

Foreigners are treated differently than Thais, therefore they should know to be a lot more careful.

Uh-oh. Perhaps we're about to find out why they're called the red-shirts. 😬

Cost sunk fallacy... 😬

What on Earth are you talking about? There are more Asian "pedos" in SEA than Western "pedos". You sound unhinged.

Having given the local police their share...

Take note. It's sadly not uncommon for Thai police to side with a Thai against a foreigner, even when the Thai is the one who broke the law and the foreigner is the victim.

They're scared that they paid for a full tank then didn't notice when the attendant didn't actually put anything into their car???

It's one scam that stands an almost 100% likelihood of being noticed. Most people check their petrol gauge as soon as they drive away, and even if they don't notice for a while, they're going to notice pretty soon. (Nobody goes to put a small amount of petrol into a nearly full tank.) Even if the attendant denied it (where's the petrol then?), the customer could complain and the management could check CCTV.

Look on the bright side. How often does this go on with no one ever finding out? It's good that on this occasion some of the perps might actually face justice.

She wasn't innocent then. That was all in your head.

1, I wonder if this will be read out in court in the not to distant future after your gf meets with a suspicious accident. 2, Isn't it a good thing that "nice innocent girls" are waitresses and working in 7/11s now and not feeling the need to prostitute themselves?

You'd run from the teacher?
