You've been telling everyone for half of this thread that he's Irish. If he was born in Northern Ireland, he is. I've also made clear I accept he is British.

Does that answer your question? "Jek" is a derogatory word used by some Thais to denote Thais of Chinese origin . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you have one of the major problems with TV. Some members are determined to base their discussion on "facts" that are not stated or referenced. This undermines so many potentially interesting subjects. Stick to the facts and, while I am ranting, laws give us the structure by which we live. As stated elsewhere by Bluespunk, we do not get to decide each other's nationality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has a passport, then the law and authorities must have agreed he is British. Glad we cleared that up. Irrelevant. You stated - You do not decide another's nationality. That is their decision. Which is bollux. I can't 'decide' to be a Thai no more than you can 'decide' to become a Somalian (assuming you aren't already) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take anything that isnt yours, you will get punished My understanding from reading the full story was that he just picked up the item and played around with it... he did not steal it. Hence, I thought whilst his behaviour was juvenile and disrespectful.... being arrested and asked to pay 300,000 baht was excessive.... don't you think!? As I stated earlier.... any sympathy soon disappeared after reading about his disrespectful behaviour towards the Buddah statue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrogaz Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Evidently a bit of a tourist toe-rag. Hope the jail stint makes him think about being an ass in the future.....somehow I think it won't.....4 days wasn't long enough for it to sink in.

It has far more to do with culture, heritage, religious beliefs that accidental place of birth or luck of the draw in an immigration lottery. The current leaders that are destroying the World would like you to believe that though, very convenient in implementing their global socialist order where they encourage mediocrity. Not for me pal. Nationalist pride, like other variants of pride, can be a substitute for self respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete BS, full of holes. I would love to hear the shopkeeper's side of the story. Probably did steal it and received a 3500 baht fine/bribe. not £3500.

You can get them in the crocodile farm restaurant in Pattaya for 150 baht.
