Musk didn't state that. But I'd say that a high % of those sexpats are likely to be. In anycase, you have to seriously ask why he hasn't sued Musk yet, if his background is so clean? Hoping for a payoff without any court scrutiny, perhaps? Having a lawyer send a threatening letter, is an indication you have no leg to stand on in a court of law.

Popular Post SometimeTourist Posted September 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2018 Trouble for Vern and for many visitors to Thailand, particularly if you've visited Pattaya. Imagine having to answer honestly every question some top flight lawyer paid to defend Musk would ask of you. It might go something like this with any bloke who's been to Pattaya: Have you been to Pattaya? answer: Yes Are you aware that Pattaya is considered by some as a place where sex occurs between tourists and locals? answer: Yes Are you aware of reports that there have been many underage escorts found in bars and clubs in Pattaya? answer: Yes Have you been to bars and clubs in Pattaya? and so it rolls on, and I can very honestly say, I'd hate to be put on the stand to answer. Even knowing you'd done nothing "wrong", the process is designed to destroy you. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to know a bit about Vern. Which begs the question: 'Is it LEGAL to collect information on a private citizen?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his behaviours and comments on business and non-business related matters makes it look like he thinks he stands above everybody and has a right to just voice anything that goes through his mind. What sane business man would engage into such a stupid mud fight, I would think he has more challenging and profitable battles than to comment on anybody who has nothing to do with him or his businesses. My bet is on him blowing up sooner or later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is putting all of us who choose to live in Thailand in a bad spotlight. Does he think Thailand, a country with 60 million people, is only about sex tourism ? Then why did he come here in the first place with his idiotic capsule and showed his ugly face in the caves where all the heroes were? He can never be a hero , a genius they say , but half of his brain does not seem to work . Good point. Probably Musk wanted to look at lots of young boys and he brought a mini-sub to have a good excuse for his trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as the all the vested interests, embarrassed Thais and sexpats want to protest and say otherwise. That's an absolutely ridiculous claim. I know a number of white males who moved (with their wives and in some cases, children) to live in Pattaya because of the availability of good quality housing at a reasonable price, access to golf courses, shopping, schools, easy accessibility to/from Bangkok, (and its airports) etc. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkerry Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) If anything Musk has said is even close to the truth, surely a newspaper like the Daily Mail would by now have found a story to publish from at least one of the dozens of foreign reporters recently in Thailand. A rich guy like Musk can afford to run this through the courts using his legal team to make all sorts of accusations under questioning. Doesn't matter if you have done nothing wrong, good lawyers can make you look bad regardless. Edited September 6, 2018 by kkerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAGA Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 This article was written by Huff Post. They are widely know for deliberately publishing misinformation to get people to read their garbage. They sell sensationalism to get attention. They never let facts interfere with their stories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of uninformed garbage is precisely why he's being sued. Musk's latest diatribe is deeply insulting not just to Unsworth, but to all male expats and tourists, as well defaming the reputation of Thailand. He seems to have completely lost the plot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it wasn't - the original article (and the email conversation it was based on) came from Buzzfeed News. The original Buzzfeed organisation did share a co-founder with the Huffington Post but they are separate organisations. Buzzfeed News has a staff of 20 investigative journalists, has won a number of press awards and is generally regarded as a reputable news organisation. In this case, where they are quoting word for word from Musk's emails and have reproduced them in full in their article, I don't see how you can accuse them of publishing misinformation.
