The Thai police should follow Singapores lead and cane them along with the fine and deportation.

They need to be made to pay for professionally cleaning their works of art off. Did not look drunk to me in the video.

Caning would be about right. Got off light I reckon. US should send the third person back.

Well they will need sand for that..................but I agree a beach is not required and does not appear on my agenda when visiting Pattaya.

The issue could have been solved by Immigration using the clause in the Immigration Act which indicates a senior official can waive requirements  when necessary.  Certainly a medical issue like this should  qualify for such an exception.

This is normal in most legislation - the right to appeal a decision. 

Having said that the UK Foreign Office is not that much better if at all. You apply for a UK Visitor VISA as a Thai national and you are odds on to get rejected with no right of appeal.

If all these millions of OA visa holders are skipping their hospital bills then why don’t they chase em up !!

After all , what with the TM 30 and 90 days reporting they are easily tracked down

Exactly..............not to mention the hirer charges applied to foreigners as opposed to Thais for the same standard of care. Just like visiting the National Parks.

I think I feel more sorry for the girl that got shot in the face.

It is unfortunate that our (I'm Norwegian) young ladies are so naive about the world outside Scandinavia. Many believe that they can handle themselves and are "on par" with men if it comes to physical confrontations. Which is not true.

 

So, ladies, please dont go alone. And dont get stupid drunk or high. Take care of yourself. It's a crazy world out here.

 

Hope they catch the scumbag and crucify him.

Norwegian media naive to then...........and dont consider such events as rape in the sunshine newsworthy.

It's a fact Scandinavians along with manys others drink to excess when presented with cheap drinks.

It is said many drive without a licence anyway.................only compulsary driver training whilst in jail has a hope of making a difference.

Who on earth gets involved with someone online, and starts sending them money, without getting to know them first? What is the problem here? The biggest part of the problem here, is the extreme emasculation that is taking place in the West. Most men, in the US, Europe, and Oz, are no longer real men, when it comes to dealing with their women. Their women have made their lives so difficult, and alot of women have gotten so far away from their innate femininity, and have become dominant, and super controlling, and men just go along with it. Most men have become so hungry for love, or emotionally desperate for some kindness, and TLC. And most are so desirous of being around a real woman, who knows how to act like a woman, and manifest the dignity, within femininity. So, it is easy for the con artists, like this worm Jariyaporn, to take advantage of emotionally wounded men, who seem to be willing to do anything to regain a semblance of normality in their lives, with a decent woman. 

 

Always remember, if it is good, it is only going to get better. If there are problems, or The bottom line is this. Take your time getting to know a woman here, or anywhere. Do not consider a pen pal on the internet to be a girlfriend. This is sheer insanity. 

 

Time is your ally. It is rarely their ally. They are usually trying to step up the timetable. We need to push back. We need to assert control. An environment like this allows us to do so. Take advantage of that. Be a man. Step up. Pay tribute to the gender. Refuse to lay down anymore. Refuse to be a doormat. Refuse to check your cajones at the door. Start making the decisions, and stop saying "honey what do you want?" all the time. When a woman says up to you, take charge. I have so many friends, who come here, and from the very start, make the same mistakes they made back in the West. Except here, they do not need to make those mistakes. The environment does not dictate that they behave like lambs. Many do not know, or realize that, or they succumb to "force of habit". Every ship needs a captain. If the man is not willing to be the captain of the ship, the woman will take over, here in Thailand. Most women here seem to want a strong man. They prefer that. But, if they end up with a wimp, they will take charge. Someone has to.

 

Remember, if she is a big baby, who only looks like a real woman, but in reality is a 13 year old, or if she is a con artist, if she is only in it for the money, those realizations will manifest themselves over time. Time allows clarity. Never, ever move too quickly. That is the undoing of most of these guys. Be like Bond. be a real man. Man up. Do yourself proud. 

 

 

"Man up"..............does that mean we can slap them back? Just asking.

1 - It's convenient when moving out of Thailand since the thai passport is not really a masterkey to immigration. Girlfriend is not a status when applying for a visa.

2 - After a few years of being married it may grant citizenship (true for my country, not the other way around) and all the privileges that come with it.

What country is that?

I racked up an account of about 2,8 million so far. We live, we learn....hopefully. I cant say its money down the drain though.

 

There should be a 2 hours school session for every foreigner landing at Suvarnabhumi about the honeytraps here in Thailand.

I think most guys wake up around the 3 million mark which tends to coincide with an awareness of ever increasing difficulty of partying at will else where......

.....and handed a copy of "Private Dancer"..........fiction based on facts.

At bit more news worthy than a daft school boy gold shop robbery which was probably an inside insurance job anyway as the stolen items were not promptly fenced off & fully recovered.

If by bone tests they mean MRI tests, these only tell you bone growth and not chronological age. There does not appear to be a test to reveal age that is accurate.

But nobody in the media knows that here so it becomes fact as it is not challenged publically in the media.

You kinda have to wonder, why they never seem to promote from within Immigration, which like any Thai govt agency is rife with deputy commanders of all sorts....

 

They seem to have a habit of sending someone in from outside... in this case.... like BJ, someone who apparently has absolutely no prior working experience within the Immigration Bureau.

However he does have Border Patrol Police experence...........kind of Immigration related I would say.

A sharp downturn in tourist arrivals and the subsequent loss of revenue will be the only  thing that will provoke effective action to stop the burning.
