Good to see the tourist police have interpretors for drunk and stupid.

The Aussie boy looks to have gotten off lightly so far. Not sure he's been bashed.

[Bournville]

What a total moron! A filthy liar. Filthy in all ways. He couldn't even find a t-shirt to meet with the cops? Ban him. Tossers not welcome anywhere.

Silly boy.  Once sober, he'll find he's earned himself something like 10 years in jail and/or a 1,000,000 THB fine.  It's probably less fines and jail time to commit armed robbery for real.  He should have stuck to his story.  Sucks to be him now methinks.

Guess the guy wont be going back to Thailand for a few Years, thats if he doesn't  get jailed first.

At the end of the day he is only guilty of a false police report, not sure that means a 10 year jail term or million baht fine. Maybe they could charge him with intent to commit insurance fraud.

I've read the thread and most it was reporting that Aussie boy had been robbed.  It wasn't established till late on that he was pulling a fast one.

Ha, TV is incredible, here you have an Auzzie robbed at gunpoint by a scumbag taxi driver & his mates, & all the TV wags can do is moan about him not having a shirt on...

Words fail me ???? 

"Words fail me"

Certainly a good grasp of what actually happened failed you. Wonder why you were so eager to believe some farang and assume any Thais in his vicinity were scumbags.  Another example of Bar Stool - Crime Scene Investigation ... BS-CSI.

Is this the same bloke who was raped by a kangaroo in his home town? 

Seriously he must be given the bill for police time waisted. 100,000 baht or go to the monkey house.

Darn right old man,terrible,what these drunk lads get up to its beyond a fair go ! Guess it’s lucky he never raped or murdered or drove like a maniac.Anyhow guess we can all now trust the taxi industry here,I was seriously starting to think they were shifty! and tell me Tony, why is police doing their job a waste of time?

[Thingamabob]

Are you people all asleep ? The guy now admits it never happened. Wake up !

[Scouse123]

Now if he had been British, we would have had all the ' hang em from the nearest tree ' posters on here and what else could be expected of lowlife British scum, blah, blah blah.

 

Posters who know his nationality, can it not just be accepted that being ' stupid ' is neither gender or nationality specific!

 

A silly drunken 19-year-old boy. Sun, sea, sand, alcohol, and testosterone. As far as the police are concerned it goes with the territory of Thailand enjoying the benefits of the tourist dollars!

[taipan1949]

He lied....is now being charged with submitting a false report to police.

Once back in Australia, the poor chap should widely post the serious incident in all australian social media, to warn his people on what Thailand is becomming.

 

When tourism and retirees numbers drastically drop, then perhaps some steps may be taken to treat visitors with a minimum of respect and decency in Thailand.

Once back in Australia, they guy should get a beating because he makes the Australian visitors look like shit.

Dude this had nothing to do with the sun, sea, sand or testosterone!!!! But you did ( not) hit it right on the head with alcohol!! 

[chama]

Filing a false police report? Bet they have a room for him at the Grey Bar hotel.

[wozza]

I just spent 5 days in Phuket and have seen this guy several times with 4 or 5 of his drunken mates on Bangla road or beach road during the day and night . all shirtless with cans of beer in their hands, yup I dont think any of them owned a shirt.

[simtemple]

If this scumbag did this in Australia he would be facing a maximum penalty of $10,000 or 2 years imprisonment.

UPDATE:

Drunken Aussie tourist admits he wasn’t robbed at gun point in Phuket

By Kritsada Mueanhawong

 

 

An Australian tourist, who had claimed he was robbed at gunpoint after being dropped off by a taxi, finally admitted that he was drunk and lost his belongings.

 

On Saturday an Australian male tourist, 19 year old Terrance John White from New South Wales, notified the receptionist at a hotel in Nai Yang where he was staying that he had been robbed at gunpoint by 4-5 suspects after being dropped by taxi near the hotel.

 

He says he gave his wallet with 20,000 baht cash to the alleged robbers brandishing firearms. The receptionist called police. Terrance was taken to the Thalang Police Station.
