Kids - then what were they doing on their own drunk disrespecting someones flag and King? Very lucky they didn't get really walloped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajarnbrian Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 No excuse for this bad behaviour. You do not do that to your own country`s flag so you cannot do that here. Glad these idiots have been caught, hope they are deported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JemJem Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 They are darn lucky. In some countries, they would have gone to jail for at least a few weeks and then deported (and possibly blacklisted forever) ; and in some places, they would have been lynched. Don't get me wrong; I am not saying that should be the way to react, but just saying how things are in some places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 100 hours of community service and blacklisted forever is in order as punishment. Being drunk is no excuse for such behaviour. I can't even count the times I have seen "visitors / tourists" act like complete arises in Thailand. One such incident: a person ( drunk ) took his manhood out in a bar and went around 'shaking' it at almost every person there, then denied he did it...there were over 5 mobile phone videos of his actions. Would he do this at home? Respect the country you visit!! I live here ( 6 years ) and as long as I am permitted to stay, I will respect The King and Kingdom. The people are damn lucky a group of Thais didn't "send" them to a hospital to sober up!

How often do we see Asians wearing G7 flags on their Heads, Chests, Kybers, feet or handbags in LoS with no though whatsoever in the other direction?

phetpeter Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 What homeless! half a dozen sheets of corrugate, a few old plastic banners and some old red shirt billboards, plus a smartphone, a cheap TV playing soaps all day connected to any lamppost and a motorbike, any verge will do, and as for feeding them any temple will do for a few hearty snacks and packets of noodles.

Artisi Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Of course no American has defaced or burnt the Stars and Stripes or any Brit. done the same to the Union Jack- no never, cause they always show the highest respect for their countries flag - yeah right, so let's get this act into perspective as a non event and not even worth reporting.

Golden Triangle Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 So where is the video evidence ? where are they from ? Very unlike the BiB not to have a pointing contest, usually standing pointing with big grins on their fizzogs. And very strange that thanks to CCTV they catch the miscreants so quickly but the anti Junta activist has no hope, strange old country is this.

sabian Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I agree but consideration should be paid to other nationalities flags who I I see draped over Thais in all sorts of manner. Especially the Union Jack on shorts, shoes etc. Do something about that outrage too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoon Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Q: Why do the Thais condemn it so quickly and forcefully? A: Because the last one to do so is a traitor. In the Soviet Union of the 1930's everyone "loved" Stalin........it was suicide not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
