No, I'm saying that we don't live in an ideal world. I fully agree that women should be allowed to wear what they want, where they want. If we're talking St Tropez this all works out fine, but we're not, we're in Thailand. (This also applies in places like Dubai, where a couple are arrested for having sex on the beach, which would be all fine & dandy if they were in Marbella). Another example, a farang guy ends up at the police station, the cops want 85,000 Baht for all charges to disappear. The guy thinks to himself "This isn't how things happen where I come from!" Five years later the guy walks out of prison. He's applied first World thinking to a third World situation. In no way am I saying that's right, but as many TV members know and would agree, that's just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some places in the world you just need to be a bit more careful than you are in your living room. ............... if you want to avoid becoming a victim. Yes when one is passed out and gets robbed well that is down to stupidity and lack of control more than anything else. However getting robbed is a completely different crime than being raped, if for no other reason than the horror of the violation! When one is incarcerated for rape even the prisoners can tell the difference! The lowest of the low commit this type of crime, more often than not "predatory cowards" sick fXXXs who if proven guilty 100% deserve the death penalty. I for 1 would much rather be robbed!!!

Nice of him to leave her passed out in public, rather than make sure she is safe. Probably home before he had drunk too much. I can not count the occasions I have been out with someone and they refused to go home or I refused to go home as I was enjoying myself or they were. Dose not make him a bad person.

You do understand not all cultures attach so much value to consent? In Muslim culture there is no such thing as consent, you are either married and have sex when your husband says, or are single and sex is a criminal offence.

outsider Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 When one goes to Lopburi, one should be careful not to leave food, drinks and personal belongings invitingly unattended, because some monkeys will just snatch and run away with it. We all know, it is not right to snatch people's things, and it is also one's right to do as one pleases (carry a bag, eat an ice-cream, leave the camera next to you on the table etc.) but well, these are monkeys. Even humans snatch and steal, what of monkeys? Similarly, women - especially single travellers - should be careful and avoid dressing too revealingly or provocatively when they are on these third-world islands. Before you slam me for making such a remark, let it be known that, on these islands, one is not amongst the company of humans, nor any beings capable of intellect.

Not in your mind, you are a perfectly normal member of society. But perhaps in the mind of a mentally sick rapist all it takes is a small trigger... This is why we all need to protect the ladies around us and encourage them to protect themselves, not from society on a whole, but from the sicko's living on the fringes. This doesn't mean we would change our lives, but it does mean we should exercise intelligent balance. Much in the same way a little intelligent balance could be exercised in this thread instead of taking some of the comments out of context and making an extreme and politically correct point in attempt to knee-cap common sense and realism.

Berkshire Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 25 minutes ago, kamahele said: Nothing invites rape. Hmmmm, which is more inviting to a sicko rapist, a young drunk female passed-out alone, or said female surrounded by friends? I'm pretty sure in the latter case, the perv would not have attacked her. Some of you guys are being rather obtuse. It is not "attacking the victim" to suggest that she should not have put herself in such a situation. Nevermind Thailand, I would advise young females the same in any large city USA. I've read about equally drunk females traveling alone and being raped by Uber drivers in America. It's not a matter of right or wrong, but rather is it wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an assumption of what happened would it have been different if she had been walking home ? People right or wrong expect to be safe in a country that has been a top tourist destination for decades so who is actually at fault here I am just glad this girl wasn't set upon by some Thai thug who lost face in a bar earlier and battered her head to a pulp with a nearby hoe or rock then placed her in a humiliating undignified pose to send a message and also murdered her fararang male friend who tried to intervene and save her life. These Islands are dangerous because there are Thai males and young farang women socialising together in bars - they become prey to these scum thugs who all protect themselves from the law because they are connected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmitch Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 What is offensive about handcuffs so they are blurred in the Mail's images, unlike the alleged rapist's face. I thought the law had changed with regard to this (yes, I know the Mail is an English "newspaper" but they got the pictures from somewhere).
