The court has responded to silly hysteria as shown on social media. A bit of graffiti for gods' sake! If they pursued much more serious crimes with as much vigour, they might hold a tad more respect. Make them a cup of tea and send them home with a slap on the wrist? That kind of "punishment" works well as a deterrent in the UK doesn't it? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 If she had been Thai it would have been a wai and a 1,000 baht fine. Once she posted the 150,000 baht bail the deal was sealed. 100,000 baht fine and 50,000 lawyer fee. She was never getting any bail money back and she couldn't plead poverty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a daft statement you make. As if, 2,500 GBP fine isn't enough. It will probably be about six weeks take home wagers for a boy of his age. Hardly a cup of tea and a slap on the wrist. Lucky he didn't park his bike on double yellow lines, you'd be seeking the death penalty! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't see a fine as being drawn and quartered, especially when the money probably came from a gofundme or the like, so the whole experience, other than the embarrassment of being caught, has cost them both very little. BTW, I hope you contributed to their fines seeing you feel so badly for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call them the most progressive ones, and there seem to be other European countries considering this In the future. I fine needs to be deterring. If your earn 50'000 US$ a month and you have to pay a 500 US$ fine, it is not deterring, but if you earn only 9'000 Baht a month a 900 Baht fine is indeed very deterring, simple as that. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/06/in-finland-speeding-tickets-are-linked-to-your-income/ Edited November 14, 2018 by Myshkin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When or if they travel to countries that ask you if you have ever been convicted, you would have to lie to get in. Otherwise, you may not get in. So it's a bit more than the fine...

There were Furlong neighbours of ours, doubt if they would have been impressed if this was one of theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I hope you contributed to their fines seeing you feel so badly for them. Nope, no donation from me. They were silly and paid the price, case closed in my book. I think they were dealt with severe enough. One way you are guaranteed to hurt anybody from the North in the UK is when it hits them in their pocket! I just don't see it warranting a jail sentence. They then probably lose their jobs back home, a criminal record because they have been in prison in Thailand and then received a suspended sentence, for such a miserable offense? A country where if you have money, you can mow down civilians in a car whilst playing with a mobile phone killing many and walk away with a fine and community service? yet the hang em high lot, want them jailed for graffiti?.

Stargeezr Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 These two vandals should be happy to just get suspended sentences and fines. I hope that their brief look at Thai prison, was a wake up call. Geezer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
