Now that would be racist.  Unless you think that Thais should be subject to fines that large, also.

The authorities charge a lot more entry fees for foreigners visiting monuments and parks so i don't think they are so bothered with equal rights!

Yeah well,

 

Then maybe smashing the bike up of a kid with a gun toting meth addicted father isn't such a great idea?

Have you thought about getting together with the neighbors and get some big speed trap bumps installed every 30 meters down the soi?

Perhaps these morons would grow up after a few nights in jail with a 10,000 Baht fine and bike confiscated., (no matter whose bike it belongs to) but as we know, the authorities are not going to do that unfortunately.

A group of them on third road last night 11 pm. Very young, maybe 18-20. To call them men, is a far stretch.

Revving their PCX small motorcycles, on red light, shouting  and laughing.

Police, nowhere to be seen, as usual.

A PCX is quite big. but any way they are 18+ acting like babies. perhaps they would grow up after a few nights in jail with a 10,000 Baht fine and bike confiscated., but as we know, the police are not going to do that unfortunately.

Ill-informed cobblers, you have no idea what you are talking about.

So you are an experienced informed jailbird yourself then?

2,000 Baht is chump change for these wealthy morons, should be increased to at least 20,000 to deter them

"heart warming" good headline pun, but its actually just a publicity stunt, most people don't have the resources or money to enjoy joyriding around the country in a private plane. Most people are trying to simply barely survive.

He won't need to do that, surviving a Thai jail has quite a low chance, so the jail will possibly finish him off, but perhaps he will have just enough time to realize his mistake of trying to shame Thailand with vulgar on-line rubbish.

Thais behaving badly, giving Thailand a well deserved bad reputation.

Drip, drip, drip to the inevitable. Nullify the election, bar Pita from running for office and the return of the old guard. 

Deja Vu,... Ive been living in Thailand for 35 years and have no confidence in Thai politics, it really is up to the Thai population to demand fairness, but I fear apathy will reign.

A clueless post. This may be true up country but not in Pattaya.

Actually I live just outside of Pattaya, been in Thailand for almost 40 years and I never ever go to girly bars. So I guess I am clueless on this subject, so i'll leave the comments to bar experts such as yourself sir.

HERE WE GO AGAIN !
I thought it was all too good to be true, back to the old guard soon.
Thai politics... a very sad story.

Done what all do.

Nothing substantial found.

And now?

When will all the other bars on Soi 6 be raided and carried to police station.

Seems a case of missing connections/bribes.

 

Being ferried: are they thrown in barred buses and carted to Pattaya?

Carrying ankle tags to avoid fleeing?

Hypocrisy to it's best.

Prostitution in thailand is ILEGAL. Usually Thais run these whore houses masquerading as beer bars. 
How about the authorities arrest all owners of these so called "Beer Bars" lets see if the Thai people will be ok with that?

Russian tourists that will be asylum seekers when the tourist visa runs out!!!
Or do I have it all wrong and these are the quality high spenders they are hoping for?
????????

It's all about power and MONEY, I would prefer never to hear about "so called" political maneuverings as its sickening to hear all about these privileged greedy old selfish men.

Idiot, if it were me it would have been the airplane. ????

If convicted, the sentences here I have seen for this is a few years in prison.

Not sure about the UK, but the American could be subject to prosecution in the U.S. for a federal crime of having illicit sex in a foreign country.  That is a 15 year sentence.  

Yes America is a great example:
"Most states have a minimum marriage age for minors with parental consent, ranging from 12-17 years old. However, California and Mississippi do not have minimum ages for minors to be allowed to marry with parental consent. Massachusetts has the lowest minimum marriage age with parental consent of 14 years old for boys and 12 years old for girls. Some states have different minimum ages for males and females, with or without parental consent".

Only 3rd? Na Thailand is Numero Uno far better than anywhere else in the world... Thanks TAT for the fat check sent in the post!!!

eating them is not harming them , they are already dead,  its not hard to understand

"Not hard to understand" they are killed so people can eat them, what's wrong with you, why argue a fact? I am not a vegitarian and I am not arguing in support, but the subject is regarding the teachings of Buddha which is clear, Thai Theravada Buddhism differs from the original Sthaviravāda and Mahāsāṃghika and that fact may explain why there is flexibility in beliefs, traditions and way of life.
Are you trolling me or are you simply board and wanting an argument?

When you eat meat it's not living beings and I see monks eat a lot of meat.

Don't be silly, of course eating meat is harming animals and monks that eat meat are going against the teachings of Buddha, just because you see monks doing this does not mean they are right in doing so.
