Yes, one is a bad guest/tourist, the other  a bad host! They are both bad.

One gets punished, the other gets away with it.

Thieves everywhere now. Many simply don't want to work and put in the time for stuff now as they feel entitled to it for nothing plus are under pressure from all sorts of sources like social media and peers to have it all (keeping up with the neighbours is an understatement now). And on top of that, the punishments for this sort of behaviour is so light now it's ludicrous, hence so many are happy to cross-the-line.

So what is the punishment for this sort of behaviour?

Check the jails in Thailand, full of convicts for similar crimes.

 

Maybe - but those are very poor, unconnected, and uneducated. Come on Steven you know how it works here with BiB. Mostly all dealt with at the police station and most never get to the court system. Once out of Police control the BiB can't make any money.  I can tell you me and my wife have been there, done that for building code violations. BiB tried hard to shake us down for big Bahts, we pushed to go to court. BiB got nothing, court tried to shake us down - and got nothing. Yes - I know theft is a different and more serious case. But the system is the same - corrupt.

So how many years have you spend in a Thai jail to post some thing like that

Unfortunately I have had to visit a few due to relatives there. And the wait is always long, plenty of time to interact with other relatives.

So you had to visit a few relatives and had to wait, can you explain what the other relatives are?

Relatives of other inmates.

Well of course there would be more Thais in prison then farangs this is Thailand don't forget

In Australia would be more Aussies in prison than Thais so in the USA or Great Briton

Which has nothing to do with my comments.

 

Have fun entertaining others here, I'm not reacting to you anymore.
