Thonburi-tales

The German and his hooker ' girlfriend' should have moved on. You dont argue with soi thugs anywhere in Thailand. Lucky he wasnt shot . Loads of farangs have been shot for doing less in bar towns and in the provinces. No mention of gogo bar name ?? Might have strong police connections which could be more trouble for the Hun and his skank.

Some people just want to make an exhibition of themselves. Idiots. Fine them and confiscate those pieces of junk. The streets and paths are already hazardous enough.

Thats alot of electronic gear hes got in his room. Enough to open a shop. Why is he lugging all that equipment around on holidays? Maybe making sex videos to post online. Grab some bar/street prostitutes and away you go. OOPS! How did the cops find some random thief so quickly?

Thats what i was thinking. Was he climbing back around from the room next door. Eastern Europeans are a motley lot no better than Russians. The balcony height looks adequate so cant see him accidently toppling over. The eyewitness said he was hanging on to the railings.

Exactly. Well put. Cant stand all these do-gooder Christians who throw money at complete strangers. The idiot wasnt wearing a helmet and probably didnt have a valid licence. Go Fund Me encourages people to continue behaving irresponsibly. The two New York guys that started GFM are multi millionaires. I would shut all crowd funding sites down. Social media is totally out of control.Either that or tax it 90 cents in the dollar like in the 1950's. Dont like it then get a real job.

Some people on this forum are really sensitive about the facts. Srilankans Iranians and Africans have been based here in BKK for decades and they do every fraud scam under the sun. They recruit foreigners in the UK to fly out here or get some 'down and outs' in the beer bars. I Dont know much about the bar scene because i never visit those sleazy barstool brothel towns.

I lived in an apartment building in BKK which had loads of Srilankans. They were all dirty and cops knew it. They paid cops and immigration every month. They mostly travelled on Canadian and UK passorts and would recruitc mostly Brit farangs to do ATM fraud as well. What has 1970s Columbo tv show got to do with it FFS.

Sounds like he was sent to Thailand with all this fake currency in December and it worked so well he extended his visa and finally his luck ran out. Shouldnt of got greedy. Alot of Srilankan Tamils live in London and theyre up to their neck in fake passports ,currency and cheques. Thailand is the main clearing house because its big and busy not just lazy cops.Laos and Cambodia are too small and quiet.

How smooth things go in a chaotic country when you have VERY powerful friends. What are the odds he is out and about perfectly healthy by late Feb.

3 million baht bribe ???? Where would a backpacker get 3 million baht. Sounds like total BS. The Israeli might have paid 100k b to get released then go straight to a border crossing. Done. Why would he give money to some drunken British pub knob?

Sounds like his enemies have bowled him a googly ! Apparently he didnt pay a cent to come back either. His influence goes all the way to the top. nuff said (bernard trink)

Dont forget the police mafia have been involved in trafficking girls for decades mostly to BKK brothels. Cops used to own alot of bars in Patpong. Id be surprised if there are many underage girls in Pattaya dueto the constant media attention. Most isan teens are still married to their sweetheart as well. Old farangs are just ATM'S to Thais.

Its an old police scam . The girls are probably legal age. Pay now farang! I never go near bars in Thailand. Alot of the gogo bar girls are actually boys who have had a partial sex change or full cut n tuck. I saw a pic of a well known beer bar and staff in Pattaya. Of the 20 'pretty bargirls' on closer inspection atleast 6 or 7 were katoeys. The British have no idea. They cant tell the difference thats why they get into so much trouble in Thailand. They should stay in Spain were there are atleast great fish n chip shops.
