How does a rat like this get past Immigration?  THIS is the stereotypical "tourist" that I would expect to be singled out and taken to a back room to be questioned (and then denied entry).  From the looks of things, he probably smells like a pig too.

Can not help but wonder what was numb nuts thinking? And what was he planning to do with a stolen bike? 
 

what now? Another go fund me page from his parents?

Was it a rented motorbike that he had a copied key for I wonder.... can’t see him hot wiring it on the street 

Hope he is not too attached to his long hair, it is gonna be gone upon arrival in Hilton.

That's only a solution for Thailand. 

 

There must be some punishment for his crimes, and a Thai prison is a great place for guys like this to learn their lesson. 

Well it's only Thailand looking for a solution. Petty criminal from the UK. Why would Thailand want to spend 1 sentang on him? IDC, deport, lifetime ban. End of.

No. No. No.

 

The police have to extort some money out of him first, for reduced charges

 

Then, the judicial system has to extort some money out of him for a reduced sentence.

 

Then he has to bribe the prison guards for more food, and maybe medicine.

 

He'll be crying to mummy and daddy to send money over during the whole process.

 

Then he will be deported.  ????

He hasn't got any money. Probably hasn't seen his father since he was a kid and Mummy lives in social housing.

Really? Thank you for your precious information. Are you from the secret service?

No.  That was my first thought after watching the video.

 

Something still not right with the story.

 

What Thai would leave their wallet, phone, and keys with a foreigner they just met.

 

I'm wondering if the Brit girl is hooking here, and lifted the Thai's property in a ST room.

Then I guess he will be crying for a lot longer while the Thai's hold him hostage whilst waiting for money from back home.  ????

More fool them. It costs money to hold someone. Money they'll never get back.

The building already exists.  That only leaves the cost of a small bowl of fish head soup and rice, on the hope that some money may come through. 

 

It's worth the bet, and the guards don't pay for the food.

Not worth the bet at all. Probably in IDC waiting for a plane now.

Maybe, but for sure they will sweat him, and if there's a sniff of a baht in it for the system, he'll be charged.

Yeah, seems odd that someone would be doing something so desperate after being here only 5 days and knowing that CCTV is a worldwide phenomenon, especially in a tourist spot... she might’ve lifted the keys and asked him to pick up her motorbike....

Yep. Former winner of Eurovision Song Contest. Bonny lad, for an Austrian.

My friend is "big boss police in Pattaya."  He tells me everything.  Doesn't everyone have a "big boss police" friend?  ????

 

Seriously, do you think Thai police corruption plays no part in a case like this?

 

Do you think for a theft like this all that happens is deportation?  I don't think so.  Otherwise, crime would go through the roof.

You make a big assumption that he has anyone to cry to .... What does one say about the apple not falling far away from the tree ..

What that has to do with world class tourist resort, the same happen in any other city.

Under what pretenses did he, or she, lift the keys?

 

I'm more interested in how this couple got the wallet, phone, and by the look of it, the keys. 

 

That's the story behind the story.

Sure, I accept that.  Many foreigners in Thailand have burnt their bridges back home, but this guy is relatively young.

 

It's possible he has also, but then again, maybe money will come for him.  Who knows.

Don't worry, he most properly never been to Pattaya and can't point it out on the map.
