Thailand has built up an entire industry around sex workers. It's the reason tourism is what it is today (otherwise tourist numbers wouldn't be anywhere near 30-40m per year). Is it good? Not really, not for the women that have no other choices or better opportunities. Few of them want to do it as a living, if at all (stop kidding yourselves). They'd do something else almost immediately, if they could make a living at it. They do it to survive. And that's an unfortunate predicament. But it is the world's oldest profession. And for a reason. Sex always sells. And the business leaders and government officials of Thailand are okay that THA has such a large per capita share of sex workers. In fact, they disrespect the sex workers when they pretend they don't have, want or need sex workers.

I demand a recount 😄 250k does seem a bit low. But seeing as (per authorities) there is no prostitution in Pattaya, maybe 250k is fair (sarcasm)

Very possible. These men (those that assault their women) typically choose women they can control, and who have their own set of unique emotional and psychology baggage. Wouldn't be surprised if she didn't press changes and he skates on simple destruction of property.

Seems he tried cutting his wrist and then decided on hanging himself with his shoelaces. Where there is a will there is always a way. Neither the first nor the last foreigner to commit suicide in Thailand. RIP.

American bodybuilder YouTuber assaults gf... In short, loser. Roid rage is real. Hope his GF has enough courage to safe herself before it's too late.

He's been detained by police. End of story. If it looks like duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a F'ing duck.

What a <deleted>. Now he makes a public mea culpa 😂 admitted he only makes negative YT videos because that get more traffic. Another loser wannabe social influencer.

Watch the video for yourself.

Everyone is not out to get you. Relax. Your tin foil hat is about to fall off.

Without a doubt

The guy is guilty of being an a-hole with violent tendencies. Now detained by police. Indefensible. Sorry, thanks for playing.

The knucklehead tourist has now been detained by police... guilty as sin (and should be deported). He knows it (which is why he refused to show voluntary), everyone knows it.

Brilliant 👏👏👏 A-hole, violence prone, publically beer swizzling tourist gets his comeuppance (no one here needs or wants them - disrespectful and cheap AF). Que all the lame-brain defends in 3...2...1...

And you can go climb back under your rock where you belong.

Yeah. I'm sure it was a scam, that's why he went to the police 🙄 because you always involve the police when your swindle fails. That makes sense 😂 Beer swizzling foreign tourist with a propensity for violence must be given the benefit of the doubt 😂 then he declines to show up at the police station when summoned, so he was surely the victim of a scam 😂

Because a British dolt doesn't know the difference between a 100 and 1000 baht note 😂 yeah, you are all geniuses 😂

She can certainly apply, but unless the process is a joke, I suspect she gets denied.

Based on what? Did you see the full video (ThaiRath32 played it in full). Brit choked the driver over a fare dispute.

Summoned to the police station for an assault 😂 Press charges, have police go to his hotel and arrest him. Video is irrefutable. Another dirt bag tourist... And the best goes on.

Why are you so invested in making sure everyone reacts in-kind to a particular news article? I can only assume you are garden variety overbearing prick. All my INITIAL comment said was that this very same situation "as reported" (regardless of this particular report's veracity) happened on the Oyo platform. That's it. Nothing more. Christ. Get over yourself.

Well, it's been in affect 70 years... Since the 1950s. In this day in age, it's hard to believe that that many people don't understand their own benefits. Maybe if one hears or reads something (even if suspect) that's potentially concerning it's time to do one's own due diligence. Live and learn.

Good for you. But what you post is not what is communicated in the article.

I did read the story, <snip> "On arrival, he found that the supposed one-bedroom house was in fact just a small roadside shop." Shared a similar experience somone had on Oyo. You self-important comment police are not only sad, but useless. And no one asked you to do it. Pissoff.

This happened to someone I know who used the Oyo platform to book a room... The hotel didn't exist. Seems like a new Thai scam... Put an address on the platform that isn't really a hotel and take reservations (paid in advance).

For sure, not the sharpest tool in the shed (but certainly a tool)... police record plate numbers when they lock up a motorbike... he's going to be caught, and regret, the now even steeper, fines and penalties. Let's hope he also gets deported 🤞
