You might want to check with him.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:28:49 +0000The difference is that the OP was not late.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:28:11 +0000Yes, it needs looking at, and if the police acted in any premeditated way other than trying to make a split second decision (when they were called to a supposed racist attack) in very difficult circumstances, then they should be looked at. What has that got to do with smashing things up, hurling bricks and bottles at people and setting fire to things exactly? Should we also do a bit of looting to show how much we want to scrutinise a split second decision? That would help too.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:25:46 +0000That is 100% correct. Forget all the discussions about the age of consent in Thailand. They aren't relevant when it comes to prostitution. The Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act, B.E. 2539 (1996) in Section 8 makes it illegal to pay for sex with any person under the age of 18. Penalties are even tougher if they are under 15. https://web.archive.org/web/20140228033956/http://www.thailaws.com/ Moreover, virtually all Western countries claim extraterritoriality when it comes to prostitution with under*ge partners. That means you can be prosecuted for acts committed abroad. Even if a foreigner is able to escape prison or get a light sentence in some countries through bribes, he can still get a heavy sentence when he returns home. Think of it this way, gentlemen: there's no country in the world where it is legal to pay for sex with a partner under 18. Anyone who says different is spreading false information. End of story.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:25:11 +0000OK I 'll accept knocking on the door was probably a bad choice of words. But you are also misinterpreting what I meant , I was not talking about the woman informing the police , i was talking about the woman who was reporting what happened in the article ......I thought the opening sentence in the article made it pretty clear that the report was from coming from the home owner herself and not from the shop worker maybe i should have made my self clearer but i was replying to somebody else and I completely forgot about you I can't promise it won't happen again but i'll try How does one "attempt" to take a coat and presumably fail ? could he not get his arms in the sleeves or did it not fit him ?Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:24:34 +0000YouWed, 03 Jun 2026 13:23:20 +0000Wow, aren't you just the Sherlock H that never stops giving. And who isn't suss, for that matter? Sure, let’s now hijack this entire topic and turn it into a full blown conspiracy diatribe about how the site is hiring bots, AI, and a small army of windup staff writers just to churn out user engagement content and lure in even more armchair punters. I’m so glad you’re finally moving full steam ahead with the conspiracy angle. When you said your work here was done, I took that to mean you couldn’t be arsed anymore. How fortunate for the rest of us that you’ve instead chosen to pursue this noble crusade ad nauseam. What other gems do you have for us? Perhaps a detailed exposé on how the forum is secretly run by nomads? Or maybe you could continue with a full blown whinge about being "fat and crazy". The possibilities are practically endless. You have my full support for this undertaking. Maybe you can even get Georgeenta to help collate all the data and statistics between mop rinses and eventually secure a Nobel Prize for your work. Whatever you end up doing, or not doing, from here on out, I already give you top marks for the outstanding contribution you’ve made to the Pub thus far. Lol.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:23:13 +0000I've never had food delivered in Thailand during the last 20 years. No issue with those that do but never gave it any thought and just realized I have never done it. I wonder if ordering food is a common practice for most here? Most here are in pathetic health. To each his own and know some great unhealthy people. Ordering fatty and high calorie food seems just what an unhealthy person would do. Why get off the couch and further away from the fridge full of beer when I can have tasty junk delivered.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:20:37 +0000Yeah, I wasn't in Southport, didn't grow up there, didn't talk to anyone, they didn't come out to fix the mosque, the streets, they do welcome violence in their community, especially when it is grieving and the thugs mainly came in from outside Southport. You got me. What are lies exactly? He wasn't called Ali Al-Shakati, by the way, that was one of the first bits of deliberate misinformation.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:20:33 +0000Totally agree, as I have done the same each year since retiring. A simple online application and visa fee paid gives me peace of mind and then I extend for 30 days at Immigration once I am in Thailand. I arrive, spend my money, behave respectfully and return before the visa expires. To those who think someone can't be a true tourist if they want to stay any-more than two weeks; you are completely wrong. In fact I wouldn't bother visiting for such a short period of time.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:16:46 +0000and the bs rolls on.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:15:32 +0000TurnWed, 03 Jun 2026 13:13:34 +0000Aw Okay I wondered how they got the nice rides. Whitsh skin through me off The challenge is that Thais are not taught about the Riail road. I would hazard a guess but might end up in jail.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:10:22 +0000The tedious bell end will have an anti Brit snipe at every opportunity. Does not matter what the thread is actually about. He is the same as that other tedious knob, newbee2022 who has exactly the same MO.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:08:58 +0000Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:08:29 +0000And a farewell TikTok video at the moment his tiny little heart stops beating... as he passes into the next world. Text on video translated: "Travel back to Cat Planet safely. May the next world be kind to Boonmee. May Boonmee be born with more merit for longer. Apologies for not being able to live as long as desired." and the video caption: "May Boonmee return to Cat Planet safely and no longer suffer. If there is such a thing as the next life, may the world be kinder to Boonmee." Farewell to afterlife.mp4Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:08:22 +0000Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:06:44 +0000More lies upon lies.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:04:35 +0000What you are saying is all off-topic. Better spout it in the TR forum.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:01:28 +0000Syria is a modern government? If you were Iranian, would you rather you had a gun or not?Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:01:08 +0000But this had bigger ramifications that Sparky reinventing himself or Bob having a laugh. The theory was that the site was waning at the time and paid posters may be propping things up. An Asean Now scandal that may continue to this day. There were a number of others. All posting these Thai targeted but strangely generic topics. What about you Billy Goat. You're a bit suss too.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:01:07 +0000So how do you explain this urgent review being undertaken by the NPCC? If nothing is wrong with the system, then why would this review be necessary? "NPCC race guidance under review as Nowak crisis deepensThe National Police Chiefs’ Council has announced a review of race guidance that may have shaped the decision-making of officers who arrived at the scene of Henry Nowak’s murder." https://policeprofessional.com/news/npcc-race-guidance-under-review-as-nowak-crisis-deepens/Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:00:43 +0000Well, sends the message that in Thailand the ground moves at a moments notice and you shouldn't invest as you can lose everything in a week or two.... optics are bad to say the least and the locals helped fool the foreign investors. Only an idiot would invest here in Thailand as the ground is constrantly moving... go ask Pepsi, Carlsberg or Kingsgate for even legit attempts.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 12:55:45 +0000Charge them all as accessories to murder, jail them for 10 years each to serve full sentences with no remission. The police have been out of control in the UK for years and they need to be taught a sharp lesson.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 12:55:22 +0000Surrender? Not necessary. You're defeated already, humiliated again, and the world is shocked because of incompetence of the most powerful country in the world (=self description). It will take years or decades to restore trust and reliability, sure under Dems.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 12:54:29 +0000
