Eh??? He listed previous history that had nothing to do with the Thai ladies whatsoever, he was just clutching for excuses. Ok, up to you. But he is Swiss, he is overweight, and he is definitely a loser by virtue of his behaviour kicking a Thai lady in the back and shouting aggressively when she was merely sitting peacefully looking at the beach; ergo a fat Swiss loser. Then by doubling down and releasing his video, failing to apologise (he only said he was sorry as he didn't think it would escalate to this) he makes things worse and proves he has no class.. He's obviously a bully and clearly a loser. If you don't believe he's a loser that's up to you.

Sounds like he's even more of a lovely man than I thought. Such an idiot when a simple and genuine apology at the scene would have ended this, but it shows a lot about his character that he thought he could bully her into submission. Well done to her for not backing down, can't wait to see where this goes.

It's 2,500 baht per person for half a day (3-4 hours). To be fair it does get unanimously amazing reviews. The only reason I checked was because I was wondering if anyone had starting posting about the owner like they did with Sea View Resort. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1224250-d13237105-Reviews-or10-Green_Elephant_Sanctuary_Park-Choeng_Thale_Thalang_District_Phuket.html

You just can't accept that a Thai woman might be innocent and the farang in the wrong can you. Even the fat Swiss loser doesn't claim there was any history or anything else that happened before, only that he thought they might be Chinese. Get a grip.

Jesus, great conspiracy theory, but maths is obviously not your strong point. How much do you think a toll booth worker makes?

Eh, what? There is a video, and it does show what happened. And it was posted by the Swiss guy. Do you expect another video to appear that shows him politely explaining the situation and kindly asking them to move?

Another ChatGPT / Thesaurus laden Thaiger special. Absolutely horrendous writing that is so painful to read, and as for the headline! (I can't call it what it is because you get banned for it, but it is related to bait). AN is dying....

Oh God, yawn yawn yawn.

Ha ha, yes, comedy indeed. I didn't know how to apologise in Thai but I was happy to shout "<deleted> off" in English - I am sure as many Thai people understand "sorry" as "<deleted> off". And the Chinese card, pathetic. My favourite was that he was worried that they would harm his wife in the house. Pathetic human, he had many opportunities to make it go away and do the right thing yet he chose not to. Happy to see him fall for that reason.

A fair and reasonable post, fair play, even though I disagree with you. It could have been sorted out on the spot - and should have been - with a genuine apology by the Swiss guy but he chose not to and he doubled down - even releasing his stupid incriminating video. He's obviously thinking he is connected but he's an idiot and should have immediately backed down. He's a coward, a bully, and thought he would come out on top, so he ploughed on. Now he can reap what he sowed. Had he have come out with contrition and admitted he was wrong and genuinely apologised and offered to make it up this would have gone away. But he didn't. Even now his apology is not an apology, so sorry fat Swiss man, wear it.

You missed: "Electric vehicles need to be charged every 15 minutes". The giant pumpkin-headed buffoon.

He was worried that they might do something bad to his wife. Yeah, two ladies sitting peacefully on steps (that are not his). He can't even do an apology properly.

Yep. A few idiots on here who refuse to blame him saying they don't see a kick in the video. But (as you said) you clearly hear it and he also doesn't deny kicking here although he says it is because he tripped.

What complete and utter nonsense.

Imagine if a Thai had done it and then said they tripped. People like alien365 would be up in arms saying Thais don't take responsibility, "fragile egos" etc etc blah blah. Pathetic hypocrites of the highest order.

So, what's your take now? I notice you didn't answer.

I don't know what those numbers mean. 5th column is how much you spent on diesel, the rest I have no idea. Not sure what you are trying to prove really. Care to elaborate? (By the way I don't own an EV before you accuse me of something silly)

Of course you do. And you drive 700+ kms without a break. You are my hero.

2,500 baht per visit (2-3 hours).

@alien365 would love to know your spin on this and how it was the Thai lady's fault. After all a farang could not behave in such a manner. His defence was he "slipped". Did he? @alien365 how exactly did she provoke this?

You've got it all worked out then. Well done Sherlock. And tying this in to a drunk woman who thought you were hansum.......just weird, but good to imply all Thai girls - even doctors (and your lawyers and judges) - are nutters and must be wrong.

Wow, what a marvel of modern technology that D-Max is, I must get one.

There was a similar bar in Singapore called The Beer Market with prices listed on stock exchange like monitors and they would fluctuate based on demand. However, being Singapore, they went from being really expensive to horrendously expensive.

Yeah, the LF-A and the Carrera GT sound amazing. How many times have you seen/heard one on the road? I have seen one Carrera GT in the flesh, one. I have also seen one LF-A, once. So not sure what your point is. Let's be honest, every single diesel vehicle sounds absolutely disgusting. 99% of petrol cars sound disgusting and give no visceral pleasure at all. Do you like the sound of a 4-pot Vios or Camry? A Honda Civic? A Suzuki Celery? A Volvo XC40? An HR-V with it's droning CVT? Imagine if every single vehicle in Bangkok was magically turned into an EV overnight. Can you imagine how peaceful, quiet, and clean the streets would be? How much better the air would be? How many times do you hear a screaming vehicle that you liked the sound of in Bangkok? Once a week? Once a fortnight? How many times do you just hear NOISE that is just painful and annoying? That's worth the trade off isn't it. And how many LF-A or Carrera GT noise experiences would you lose? You've probably never heard one in the flesh so I would say you'd lose nothing. I love the noise of a great engine, I loved the noise of my modified 500bhp Subaru Impreza with it's burbling boxer 4 (that great noise disappeared when they switched to using equal length headers so they now sound as dull as any other 4-pot), but having tried an EV over an extended period I loved the quietness and the smoothness! The silence is something you quickly come to appreciate but of course that would mean actually trying an EV with an open mind which I am 99% certain means you would never try one.

Where are you getting this "one after the other" fantasy? She was married off to one Dutch member early on, they had three kids together (which all died from malnutrition and pneumonia as they literally had no food or care) and she only left him when she managed to escape and the caliphate fell. He was abusive and controlling - do you think she was just a party girl there sleeping around for fun? Watch the documentary (I know you won't). For the record, if an adult decides to go off and join ISIS and fight then strip them of their citizenship. But she was a vulnerable 15 year old child who was recruited by a school friend, groomed, and went on the journey. Do I believe everything she says? No. Do I believe a child can be groomed, manipulated, and cajoled in to doing something they later regret? Absolutely! Do I have basic human standards of decency towards children who were manipulated, who have lived in poverty, have had three children die, who have been living in a refugee camp for several years in atrocious conditions and are now rendered stateless? Yes. Do I believe a knee jerk populist decision by a right wing politician sparked by the mainstream gutter press is the right thing? Absolutely not. And people like you are the problem. No independent research, not interested in learning what happened, just keep repeating your fantasy of this 15 year old girl getting gladly "rogered". A child made a mistake (albeit a big one). The government should have no arbitrary right to strip her of her citizenship. Let her come back to the UK and face trial in a court of law, and if guilty be punished appropriately. What is your problem with that? Leave out the childish rogering thing and perhaps try answering as an adult. Why can't a child who was groomed be given a trial in the UK? Why should a decision made as a child lead to being made stateless? Just use normal adult words, give it a go, I'm all ears.
