Defamation is Illegal here in Thailand

However is not Defamation only a crime if it is UNTRUE ?

From my understanding of American and British Law if the accusations are TRUE then it is not nor classed as defamation but of course that would not stop a grieved business from filing a suit and then going to court and have the accusers prove it.

So the question is if you are ripped off or treated bad by a business and want to warn others so they do not fall into the same trap where is the line of what you can and cannot say drawn

If you speak the truth surely defamation is not the case.

When a Business constantly rips its customers off and has a long history of it ,surely its fair to be able to warn others to avoid the business especially in this day and age of the internet.

What do you think

Pantip Plaza second floor accesory shop on the left as you come off the escalator

so let me get this straight -- the op would like to violently punish someone for violently punishing someone?

Yep that is correct I don't like Bullys and the best way of dealing with em is to give em a bit of there own medicine.

SO lock em up for a few days make them miss there flight which they have probably struggled to get the money together to pay for it sounds like a stupid rule to me they will be left with people with no additional means to get out of the country

I know one overstayer and he is so broke he struggles ot find food to eat if he ever got the flight and 20,000 together and then was stopped at the airport and locked up well that would be it he would have no other means to pay for another ticket

Pity they did not get the 1 or 2 mil baht they wished b4 leaving---- regardless Chas I am sure u had an experience.

Not one that paid off- yet u had a good biz...

Now we talk key money with owner

And you think you can do better than Chas and rachel, ? only in ya dreams my friend and I hope the Landlord stiffs you good and proper

i only went a few times to Tuskers but for sure those guys worked there asses off to make it a success there marketing was great they obviously have the ex pat community behind them and still could not make it.chaing Mai is just not busy enough to sustain so many Bars

Wish them the best in there next adventure and Jayinoz look forward to you posting your woes here in the future

Exactly and I dont blame them if they go out and demonstrate all over again nothings happened for them JUST BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR THE ABHISIT GOVERNMENT since they crushed the last one and suppressed them.

What do you mean nothing has happened for them? They protested for early elections, were offered them, they turned them down and set the city on fire. Some got shot at. Some got arrested. Vast majority went home. And you'd be happy to see all this happen again?

Whats changed for them? NOTHING

so if they have to get back out there to fight again and show they have a voice whether the government want to hear it or not they are not going away.

I understand that and there fight must continue to get heard (and before you say anything about Thakky its way beyond him)

The red shirts are part of the future of Thailand whatever one thinks of them. Even most yellow supporters I know recognize this.

I served with a SF unit, I left in 1991 and let's get this right, I was NEVER punched, kicked, even slapped about, nor did I witness it…. Not in the way it's being implied, yes I got knocked about, but no more than a footballer may get kicked in a football match……Shit happens. I'm not saying bullying never happens it will be different from Army to Army, unit to unit, prevalent mainly in conscript armies.

Hazing or as we Brits call it initiating…… Well I don't know about Hazing but we don't tend to beat the crap out of friends and comrades! It's backwood redneck bullshit! My initiation; I had to (along with 2 other new guys to the unit) do a treasure hunt, (for my own cloths, in the arctic, -10 at the time) I was given my boots, snow shoes, a map and compass and my cold weather hat, did I mention I was naked! We all had a laugh…..when I got some feeling and my cloths back.

I don't mean to sound rude, but civvies; you watch way too many Hollywood and old black and white war films, for people who have not served in the Armed Forces you will never, ever get it! I say this not meaning to put anyone down, but civvies draw "facts" and conclusion from watching films like Rambo, and hearing bullshit stories from a SAS or Black Opp's bar fly's, I never once saw any bullying the entire time I served, save basic training and that was one recruit on another. Most modern thinking Armed forces discharge Bullies from their ranks. From my experience people who display bullying type qualities don't tend to be very good soldiers, IMO they tend to be egotistical, (they don't bond well) basically not willing to step-up when things go pear shaped!

Think how much more effective troops are if they get taught SELF discipline, and free thinking along with a feeling of "espree de corp." instead of humiliation…………Ask anyone who has served, let alone in a, let say; tip of the spear type unit, regardless of nationality.

Bullying in forward thinking Armed Forces around the world is very much disapproved of for many reasons, Two the main reasons; it destroys unit cohesion, a soldiers self confidence, and not least it's very very expensive to train a SF soldier, to put a man though a basic military parachute course (average two weeks long) back in 1980 was over 50,000 pounds! I've read some comments about SNCO and NCO using bulling as part of training, I think there is a fair amount of misunderstanding in what is verbal encouragement and bullying…….Yes, it's a fine line, I finally left, PVR'd (Premature Voluntary Release) at my 16 year point, my last job before my discharge was the troop Sgt on the all Arms Commando Training. Team………….Bullying? Physical abuse, no, never! Verbal encouragement Oh yes, lots of it and a good "beasting" for the entire troop when an individual got out of line.

One fact that seems to be overlooked, SF solders are volunteers……They can quit anytime and RTU!

I've no doubt I'm going to get some cheap shots taken for writing this, so in for a penny….. One other massive misconception regarding SF solders, it's called the Hollywood syndrome! Why do people think the more clandestine the unit, the more moody and bad tempered the Troopers are? Did you know a major phase in UK SF selection is a long jungle phase in which all candidates are under review over the whole period for compatibility when working in a small team, isolated for long period of time. So the mean and moody "Predator" (the movie) types SF troopers need not apply. A SF solders best asset………Apart from being a good solder, is knowing his mates have his back when it gets a bit thick, (NOT some <deleted> self serving bully) and a sense of humor, a good sarcastic, "I bet that hurts" type of humor.

Bullies! I have no respect for these gutless nobbers and any establishments who allow bulling to happen.

Great Post

It would be interesting to hear the woman's side of the story. Maybe he was such a nerd that she couldn't stand him after 8 months. He certainly seemed to have a few problems in the first video. Showering gifts on a woman is no reason for her to stay with him. Conversely, I've had the opportunity to marry wealthy women and passed up the opportunity. It's basically the same thing. If you are not attracted to a person then staying with them would be torture.

It's hard to believe she could put up with him for 8 months. His brain was obviously addled, and he appeared to be quite an a-hole. I think he was also British. A very unattractive mix.

I pay my TGF just to have to listen to me.

Quick edit to add that I hated Emerson, Lake, and Palmer

I can believe you have to pay your missus to listen to you cause you spout some tripe.

Anyone have a link to the video clip? The moving one, not just still photos.

WOW a girl that likes porn just like me can I get your number

Makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing guys like this are in control

Another case of the USA sticking there nose in where it don't belong

Another case of Farang Craving b*tching, which is all I ever see you do on here.

Dont think was a bitch was it it was clearly stating a fact

The sooner they give up the fight on drugs the better and spend the money they waste on fighting it to education and treatment facilities for those that cant handle it.

Know one will EVER win the fight on drugs so tax it control it and and let grown ups make there own decisions if they want to take drugs.

THERE IS A HUGE, MASSIVE, GIGANTIC, NEVER ENDING DEMAND FOR DRUGS AND THAT WILL NEVER END

Millions of people use drugs recreationally just like they drink and they still go to work each day and are productive individuals many CEO's snort Coke I know more people that smoke weed than people that don't (I dont it puts me to sleep and does nothing for me)

To me its a waste of time and money fighting it.

LOL now we know where she got her House and Car shes just working for pocket money now 12,000 for 8 months work aint bad in Thailand and now onto another LUCKY guy even the old ugly trolls are at it BUYER BEWARE

I think the guy is well smart lets look at the details

1.) She got Car already Great he wont lose money buying her a car

2.) She got house already Great he wont lose money buying her a house

Now she got house and car already (who knows how but it makes sense to marry a thai bird that has those things already as it reduces the chances of you having to buy them for her and then losing everything

The guys a smart cookie.

I do think she looks like she would probably be a nut case though and if i were him I would check her history to ensure there have been no Lanterns let loose with wedding tacking attached.

:jap:

Another case of the USA sticking there nose in where it don't belong

Im sure all our Military stuck in Iraq Afganistan etc will be happy to hear you think they have an easy job and think so highly of them

Your average grunt always gets the sh*t end of the stick. It's part of the job. I feel sympathy of course but they volunteered.

I just don't think the "wars" or "police actions" these days can even compare with the massive struggles in the past. A million men dead on each side is bad..<20,000 casualities in 7 years of fighting is a cake walk.

Not if ya one of the 20,000

Well that confirms it

Confirms what exactly? What i'm saying is true, there hasn't been a recent war in modern times that involved millions of men with similar economic backing against each other in an existential struggle for survival.

Iraq, Afghanistan, and even Vietnam was peanuts compared to let's say the Battle for Stalingrad, Iwo Jima, or even the Korean war.

Confirms what Exactly

Well I cant really say as I promised a nice lady with a whip that i would be a good boy

but

Im sure all our Military stuck in Iraq Afganistan etc will be happy to hear you think they have an easy job and think so highly of them

Are you saying now that the US, British Military are less of a soldgiers now they DONT have to suffer abuse like that

I dont think so

It's hard to say because honestly the Anglo-Brit and U.S. military hasn't been truly tested in this day and age. Pushing around third world countries who can barely scrape together food to eat much less fight a protracted guerilla war doesn't exactly deserve to be on a list of impressive military conquests.

Well that confirms it

LOL on the French Part

They are kids in my book being bullied by a man 25 kicks to the face and body with a serious stomp to the spine which could of caused sever damage

Im afraid that's not military training THAT'S ABUSE

If you think that's bad you should see some of the training for Russian military recruits or the U.S. marine corp about 35 years ago.

If you call that "abuse" you're unbelievably soft.

I have several familly members who are X marines and I am fully aware of how they suffered abuse too during training, it was less than 35 years ago but that don't make it right does it

Are you saying now that the US, British Military are less of a soldgiers now they DONT have to suffer abuse like that

I dont think so

if you think its ok to be an obvious spineless bastard beating on little kids well your no better than he is

What? These aren't little kids..older teenagers for sure. Plus it looks to me they are going through military training. Do you expect them to be pampered and coddled in the military?

They aren't French.

LOL on the French Part

Yeah ok tough guy. If you were in the military and smarted off like that you'd get your ass kicked all the same.

Besides these guys are just going through a little corporal punishment. Nothing wrong with that in their line of work.

I didnt see anyine mouthing off I saw a couple of kids getting stomped on by a BULLY

and theres NO EXCUSE for that sort of abuse in this day and age

if you think its ok to be an obvious spineless bastard beating on little kids well your no better than he is

Another Spineless Bastard that I would like 5 minutes with in a room

Even though the current government, especially Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, is being praised by the public for its honesty and proficiency,

:cheesy::cheesy::cheesy::cheesy::cheesy::cheesy:

Bout time they just made Prostitution legal like the Dutch have where taxes are collected girls have to have medical checks and girls are protected from any abuse.

Prostitution aint going know where

When are the authorities going to understand that its like drugs, ya fighting a LOSING BATTLE on both fronts

Legalize it tax it and let us make our own choices instead of being treated like we need to be protected from it which is &lt;deleted&gt;
