10 days in the slammer, 5000 baht fine and deported/blacklisted for 5 years

5000 baht is only 128 Euros, remember he's a German from the German economy. Make it hurt. add a zero, 50000 baht. What a loser. And 50 years old, to boot.

[bkkcanuck8]

He already had a record for damaging property (water in a motorcycle tank he rented). Why is he still here?  

 

Hopefully, the Thai authorities will have him pay for the damage, give him a little stay in one of their fabulous hotels for the criminal class -- then deport and blacklist him.

Not to mention - why only 5 years.  He has used up his welcome - blacklist period (no time limit).  He should pay for the property to be repaired with a tree of similar age placed back in the spot where the damaged tree is (not cheap moving a mature tree).

its obvious this guy has mental issues, who in their right mind would knowingly put water in a petrol tank,  and not for the first time it seems, he wont get help here , best to post him back to where he came from.

Agree, don't think the lift goes to the top floor in this guy.

[steven100]

sounds like a bit of a nutter on the loose.  Fine him 10,000 bht and deported. ....   next

Better to take it out on a tree than the girl, which is commonly the way among rejected Thai suitors.

It would be even better to control oneself and not to see retribution on anything or anyone

Fine should be at least Bt30 000 especially if the mayor paid a reward of Bt30 000.

If this guy was Thai, you'd NEVER have read this story.

Not in the english language news.... but then an english jerk getting beat up at a bar in England would likely get no press, but a foreigner in England getting the same treatment might make it in expat news of that persons language.

Jail the dumb <deleted> for a couple of years and deportation when released.  He’s broken with the girlfriend so no one is going to miss him.

Poor, defenceless trees.

 

Make him wrestle a giant cactus as punishment. Naked.

I am surprised that Jingthing has been in here , complaining about all the harsh sentences that posters are suggesting .

[mentalcolonization]

Another sick western bastard running to Thailand. Cane him and send him off to his country.

[Roymac]

What a looser. Feeling frustrated at the loss of a girlfriend is one thing but vandalizing public property is not on. 

Putting water in a petol tank to avoid payment is criminal. Send the man back to Germany. Good bye !

Actually he should be required to post the 30K reward to whomever turned him in, and be made to graap in front of all the trees he destroyed, then 10 days in the slammer and deportation.

There are many cases of Germans making problems for themselves in Thailand. Is there a reason for this?

That is why many of us are working on genetically engineer trees to have active biological defences against the human invader species

His girlfriend was a rental motorbike and he was jealous other guys were renting her and taking her out for a ride?
