nice boy - - might change opinion once you shed some more insight...

A 19yr.- old (whatever nationality) surely does not have thb 10k plus an Iphone on him at 3 a:m in the morning just returning to his bunks from lust & sin Phuket downtown. He possibly spent all, was broke and needs a financial boost now - insurance claim (Thai government helps?)

the shirt can be picked up in Patong - a girl called Ting (or Daeng or Moo) keeps it for him

WOW that's great, sorry just explain to me again how youre going to pay back billions with the train fares. Logic would suggest hi speed links between Pattaya-Rayong, Hua Hin & Ayuttyha with good frieght rail links to the regional cities & deep water ports to decentralize industry would be money better spent. What is a high speed train to southern china going to bring? 

who talks about "pay the loan back to the Chinese"? 

lesson no. 1 of Thai economics: A loan is to be regarded a present with an option to show (financial) thankfulness from time to time

....many small businesses who depend on the Chinese trade have had to shut down due to lack of business

I always wonder: Who did they and the tour organizers and the restaurants and hotels and brothels and massage parlors depend on before the dramatic influx of the Chinese? did they simply not exist in the olden times or did they do rice farming in Eesan (surely yes for the brothels' personnel) or did they simply have a life-long career of studies at the varsity?

why did this make it to the news? just like another Southern Asian ("short, curly, greasy, black hair") who stole a bicycle in Birmingham - who cares a f*>!

just stop drinking anything boozy - this reply comes easy

why on earth these female British persons appear so delectable to Asians?

I didn´t feel any at the time. The size hasn´t changed much, just the "intensity" of the red seems to vary over time. 

 

I went to the pharmacy today and the pharmacist sold me a Betanovate-N cream for skin inflammation. 

 sounds like you live in the sticks somewhere? How does your wife, Thai neighbours judge this? These people have been with all kinds of eery things for ages and thus know to analyse and treat

these days, more often than ever fate also corners the real a...holes "another bum hit the dust..."

three people were arrested but the headline is black tourist.. not professional at all. last week it was black criminals but they all had visas... stop being racists and provide the right news

"stop being racist" ... it would suffice already to not talk about a black tourist but just about "a tourist" - and then publish his photo

A guy from Cameroon staying 5 years in Surat Thani is pretty impressive as he would not be able to easily blend in within the community, especially if he were making a living in Thailand. 

no problem being one of these sometimes pesky African "Sports Students"; made a living at night time only (blends with his surroundings nicely...)

Fact. There is very little evidence and the t-shirt was a very, very long shot even in the best of circumstances.

 

Chances are this young lady was assaulted and I would wager it was by an opportunistic, non-Thai, drunk, stoned, gap-year, backpacking piece of sh!t.

 

Stating 'lack of evidence' doesn't say it didn't happen and handily obviates the necessity of the former head of the Tourist police following up on his obnoxious threat to prosecute the victim for lying.

another fricken British insurance scam...

But he didn't take into consideration that her father worked for the Defense Department and had a whole lot of friends who do "dirty deeds" just for the fun of it.  A team of 6 went in under cover of darkness, killed him, got her and the boys out and back to the States safely

hush hush, we know a lot, don't we?

Should any police personnel take/confiscate my passport the first thing I would do for sure would be rushing to an immigration office telling them and explaning why I have no passport with me any more. 

those who made you minus your passport will heftily hinder you to rush anywhere...

I think they are trying to say that she didn't want to go into a falang room alone.

which would, however, not be normal for a Thai female in Pattaya

Seems to be some confusion here.  A news item yesterday place Thailand #4 in SE Asia as a tourist destination.

Confusion? don't think so; it is solely up to the magazine scribblers to invent percentages, places, people - it all depends on the back cheques...
