Phuket Locals Call for Action on Foreign Teens' Vandalism

Kids will be kids.. even the naughty kind. Just fine them 10 x the price and issue a warning .

Kids together will always go overboard on their night out. Peer pressure included. It is what it is.

The way the one kid who took the lamp, stumbles sort of sideways as he looks at his friend, they have either been drinking or smoking weed.

Stupid juvenile stunt. Why aren't these kids in high school back in their home country?

How do you know they are garbage kids? On the contrary, they look like well cared for teenagers most likely from an affluent family. They are stupid adolescent boys, not gang bangers. Boys do this.

Garbage is a garbage does. Just because they are showered and have nice threads only means they have means (or their parents do). Proves nothing of quality minds or people. Maybe a youthful indiscretion. Likely not. And more likely a pattern. I don't make excuses for bad behavior. Actions speak volumns.

Recently read an article where the parents of misfits were being held accountable for their children's misdeeds. Sounds like a good idea re-encourage parental responsibility.

Optimistic, when the parents seem incapable of controling their own behaviour.

Take their benefits off them if the kids misbehave maybe!!!!

You’re a bias one sided poster parading under the guise of a legal sponsor spamming for attention which undermines the credibility of the forum. Highly doubt you know anything about legal advice, probably just farm it out if anything, therefore your credibility is in the tank since you have no mediation tools, can’t get any more moronic than that.

Legal advice? Dude stole and broke light fixture that he did not own and it is on video. Bias? Dude is guilty as sin. Your 'argument' is like quote attributed to Orwell:

"There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them,"

Hardly the crime of the century is it ?

Yes it is wrong and they should be punished...perhaps with a small fine and some community service perhaps 50 hours cleaning up rubbish in the neighbourhood

(and dog vomit with their tongues 😋 just joking )

They should be piimped out in Boystown for a weekend to atone for their sins. Two weeks if they're Brits or Canadians.

Just make the parents pay 5k baht for the breakage, then put these skinny white pussies in the Muay Thai ring with the local champ their age... They won't forget that in a hurry 🤣

You never did any such thing as a young person? Really? The only human in history who never did a stupid thing as a teen? You're a personal angel of God? Legal Lifeline, what a joke. Fortunately for me I know what a qualified legal professional is, and I can tell the difference, just by your statement. It ain't you.

I agree. that is an appropriate and teachable punishment. A lesson in civics and respect. I would add, fine the parents.

At least some people are capable of maintaining a healthy balance & sensible logic….

… while some posters are suggesting‘the Bangkok Hilton’ & ‘lifetime bans’… such suggestions are comically preposterous and present with serious mental imbalance.

Yes punish & deter - but jeezz some of the responses on here are just unhinged…
