Are farangs inadvertently colonizing Thailand?
Jenkins9039 replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Yes, but also another unknown fact, Siam (Thailand) was the only non-western affiliated force to occupy Germany post World War 1 ~ they even managed to loose some Thai's during the occupation (mainly to being ill-trained). So Germany has technically been occupied by the Siamese, they liked the Siamese reportedly at the time. -
Are farangs inadvertently colonizing Thailand?
Jenkins9039 replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Thailand was never formally colonised.. however... 1) British didn't have to abide by Thai law 2) British took land in the North 3) British took land in the West 4) Thailand (SIAM) had to go through British trade outposts for their exports 5) During WW2 Thailand surrendered to the British after roughly half hour of aerial assault over Bangkok by the RAF. Basically Thailand was allowed to think it had never been conquered (simps) but the reality is much clearer, better to have a buffer instead of dealing with the French (just have a old French neighbour move in next door and see how that works out as a Brit, they have the uncanny ability to cause problems for almost everyone of non French nationality). Fast forward... Yeah in a way but then again - what is Thai? is it Chinese Thai? Indian Thai? Lao Thai? Thailand is ethnically a hot pot of ethnicities in itself *much like india* - there's white Thai's, Chinese Thai's, Yellow Thai's, Brown Thai's, Black Thai's - they are all Thai, but ethnic wise somewhere down the line there was 'breeding' with other(s) from Africa, Middle East, India, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lous, China, and now the "Dirty" Farang is going pile diving. -
Thailand police, and ridiculous statements
Jenkins9039 replied to CanadaSam's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I always undertake on the left if that's what you mean - if so it would be her fault. <deleted> hogging the right lane as usual but going 40 lol -
In the decade(s) i've been here, the changes they've made have left the place a ghost town during the down season, the 20,000 baht fine and leave when ever was more suitable to the Thai economy IMO. South America still operates on such a system and a lot of expats there don't even have valid passports.

Young Thai Man Returns To Work In Israel To Clear Debt
Jenkins9039 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Only issues with these is the Thai Gov actually get a kick back per person.... and the guy at the other end doing all the work makes like 15,000$ a year... Perhaps the Thai Gov should redirect their kick-backs to these people so they can return home... Well discussed in here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sY19BRtYuc -
Landlord spraying for termites inside the house... Is this normal?
Jenkins9039 replied to bamboozled's topic in Chiang Mai
Of-course it's normal. Termites can eat through a house in no time. -
Questioned and nearly denied entry at BKK
Jenkins9039 replied to tmax's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
All the hacks in Thailand, and the little script kiddies still haven't got round to wiping IO servers lol. -
On this i'd have to agree, but lets be honest, the sex scene in Thailand it would be rather hard to determine if she was under 18 in addition i imagine any hotel he visited with her would have asked for her ID, unless it was an adjacent room, then the onus would surely be on the same people that hired her.

I haven't read into the particulars of it. But my interpretation is she was 17 at the time, he was over 17 at the time, if it was consensual then its not illegal in Thailand because she is over 15/16 -> very much like UK law (same reason Prince Andrew was free and clear). So unless it was 'rape' he hasn't committed a crime in either country, except perhaps trafficking... which i doubt could be argued in Germany for paying for sex with a consenting 17 yr old. 15 years Age of ConsentThe age of sexual consent for both boys and girls is 15 years. The Thai Penal Code also provides for close-in age exemption in case a child below 18 has sexual intercourse with another child aged 13-15 years of age with the consent of the latter. 14 Age of ConsentIn Germany the age of sexual consent is 14 (§ 176 Abs. 1 StGB). Over 14 years a consent is impossible in cases of force or fee or the absence mental maturity. Under the age of sexual consent there is an exemption of punishment for cases when the difference of age and mental maturity is small.

Not sure what they can charge him for in Germany. Also i'd imagine relies on how close to 18 she was, most people in the UK start experimenting around 13 for example, it's legal from 16 if not much of an age difference, that might be where this guy has issues as i'd imagine its the same in Germany. Having said that in Thailand it's not exactly uncommon (just look around) so they are basically highlighting one individual, whereas the entire country from north to south has these issues.

quick google 14 Age of ConsentIn Germany the age of sexual consent is 14 (§ 176 Abs. 1 StGB). Over 14 years a consent is impossible in cases of force or fee or the absence mental maturity. Under the age of sexual consent there is an exemption of punishment for cases when the difference of age and mental maturity is small.

UK Passport renewal in Thailand
Jenkins9039 replied to Will B Good's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Not at all, non resident British citizens don't pay tax to the UK Gov, except certain specific taxes based around earning money in the UK. As for Passport office they are usually not in cahoots with HMRC (Different System). But like mentioned if you have a red-flag either internal or via interpol, then yes you'd have issues. -
Why not pop round and see if they want to cuck
