I wonder how much money "The Sun" are paying the family for this story? Or is it just me?

Medical supervised use yes Recreational use no Look what has happened in the UK: more accidents on the roads, more fines for cannabis use, lots of youngsters would. rather be stoned than working. A lot of stabbing due to people owning money for cannabis. If the doctor prescribes fantastic. LOS has survived without it for many years. Keep it that way in my humble opinion.

The British Embassy can always be relied upon at all times,,,, not...he must have been on a "naughty" passport, it must have been renewed.... beggars belief how it happened. I would love to hear the official waffle from the British Embassy, wouldn't you?

Asking for the impossible....

35 years ago I was a "younger man" on my first visit to Pattaya. It was due for an overhaul in those times. I remember after the tsunami Pattaya was going to be the best place to visit in whole world. Unfortunately, for the Thailand people, the people at the very top of the tree need to make the decisions. There are people begging, there is violence and a lot of mafia. Those things need to change. Nothing will change. I agree with the OP, open a Pattaya 2 from scratch and make that into a family friendly, worldwide destination.

The Chinese seems to be free to do whatever they want. The Thais suffer, crime rises and the Chinese just return the money to China laughing all the way to the bank. Imagine what would happen if it was USA, British, Australia etc....

Indians mainly arrive to smoke cannabis.... let's see what happens to them if it is banned. Nothing good happens during the early hours anywhere in the world, not just Thailand. The guy has missed out on his holiday insurance because his gold necklace should have been stolen also. COVID destroyed Thailand. An awful lot of Thais are unemployed and have no money. The crime rate has increased but hopefully all will return to normal for the Thais.

Imagine if it tourist attempted to do the same thing??? Tourist would be beaten up, thrown out, arrested,a big fine and possibly deported. Congratulations to the RTP Commando, and excellent result.

R.I.P.

I'm sure that the Chinese will not be happy if this happens. I doubt that the Russian Mafia won't be impressed. It's a waiting game.....

Soi 6, girls, refusing to pay bill, probably pi**ed and British. A concoction that does not bode well.

Nothing good happens at that time of the morning 🌄 Lots of Russian folk in Thailand jails who will enjoy rubbing the head and neck tattoos off with cleaning fluid. Unless he has the dollar, the movie 365 days springs to mind.

Good news for the RTP.... Brown envelopes galore .. It will be very difficult to stop the industry now.... The Thai people/ sellers will be out of work....

Philippine English teachers that students do not understand doesn't help the situation. How can someone teach English when English is their second language? Students need to speak English for all manner of positive reasons.

He loved to travel, been to Thailand many times. Insurance? GFM? R.I.P Browny.

E cigs safer than dope if correct.

<deleted> head, now he is being the total opposite and the creeping doesn't sound good. He may not be in Thailand for much longer (hopefully)

LOS and stupidity seem to go together. The idiot cannot claim insurance now that the story has been printed. If??! the necklace was really worth what he is saying why wear it in Pattaya??

There should be someone from her Embassy helping her. Mental problems, threatening to stab and refusing to pay will eventually involve arrest or worse.

Indian's arrive for the drugs, Russian's to escape the fighting and and become involved with the new found mafia, Chinese to annoy everyone and most others for a vacation. Soon there will be an influx from somewhere else.

I think she's forgotten the easiest fact: she is no longer in England. Stupidity like this is not acceptable in Thailand. LOS has it's own rules and ways to amend to. A spoilt crazy woman from England should return to England if she doesn't adhere to the local people and ways.

Let's hope it happens on a regular basis. Russian and gun's not the best idea.

There was an invasion of Russian tourists//money//mafia after the tsunami (if my memory is correct) and alough a few remained most returned. The one's here this time do not want to fight for their country and I suspect most will return at a later date or end up in jail for overstay and criminal activity. Of course the good ones will spend their money, not cause trouble, enjoy their family holiday and return on time.

Russian?.???

Stupid, however, I hope he is ok and doesn't lose his life.
