Speak for yourself, this is not a monger's forum (allegedly)!

I spoke for myself as I am included in the "we". To assume that the majority of expats or forum users would not pay in one or the other way is just to naive for me.

It is also naive to assume that a guy who takes women from the beach is a pimp instead of a common customer.

"I spoke for myself as I am included in the "we"".

Glad to hear it.

 

"It is also naive to assume that a guy who takes women from the beach is a pimp..."

I did not make that assumption, I didn't even comment on it.

I don't get how a known criminal will cultivate a persona that draws attention to himself to his own detriment.  In LOS I get it, he had access to a certain high-level pocket. 

Anyone else remember this guy?

 

 

Friend of another well known pimp / gangster from Copenhagen that resides in the Pattaya area?

As he moved to Thailand to escape charges in Australia, seems he used Thailand to wait out the required 10 years for charges to be void before returning.

 

Well done Thailand letting him wait it out in paradise lol

Australia has been deporting Kiwi's. 

They have been deporting New Zealanders with criminal records,  even if they have lived their entire lives in Australia

Thailand such a easy place to hide? That's why some so called tourist like to keep to themselves, and don't answer any questions about where they come from. I have seen a few in the years I have been here.

Many completely normal and law abiding people keep to themselves as well, for exactly the same reason.

That's only recent and not sure it will continue under new government. Either way, wasn't applicable back in 2009 when he moved to Thailand. His 10 years served in Thailand luxury meant no more criminal charges in Aus though

How in Satans name was he allowed in Thailand ? will he be allowed to enter Thailand Again?  

Don't they state ,

No Crims and No Gangsters are allowed to enter Thailand, 

But then Like he said Money can buy Anything in Thailand .

 

To put it simply enough for you, because he has NO convictions, as the article states:

 

"There were reports Ward went to Thailand after learning of an Australian Federal Police investigation into his activities."

Like when he went into a rage because a much smaller man (Canadian school teacher if I recollect) said something about his tattoos so he whipped out a knife and slashed the guy.

How he managed to get away with that I don't know. Anyone else would have ended up in the slammer and then been deported.

He was arrested a couple other times as well and always seemed to get away with whatever it was they arrested him for.

 

he paid the police, the prosecutor, and the slashed guy.  same as the other minor incidents like that.

I thought he was busted by Interpol or something.  That was back a few years, maybe he's done his time.

Imagine being on the lam with those tattoos.

You cannot be serious, a violent pimp with a record of knife crime and intimidation, feeding soi dogs only made this pest worse. Just the sort of foreigner this country can do without.

I just cannot understand the vitriol and the outladnishly negative reaction. Did you have any personal business with him?

 

I talked to this guy once, he seemed nice enough.

 

That he might have done some shady stuff in the past or that he might tell the one or other story which is borderline (un)believable sure cannot be the reason for such naked hate -- as pretty much every bar owner in Thailand is in the same class.

Some people thought Eden papa Marc the murdering pimp and blackmailer from Sukhumvit in Bkk quite affable. You do not have to 'hate' despicable characters like him and Sharky the egotist, just steer clear of them. The nightlife attracts some of the worst of humanity.

There was an incident several years ago when he went into Pattaya Police Station and filmed him shouting and swearing at the Thai police. At the time I wondered why the hell haven't they arrested and deported him?

An infamous YT'er offended The German in a public vlog but is still walking around freely in Thailand.

Thai police doesn't exactly track foreign criminals, do they?

I do agree with your opinion.

 

But what some of the members here have demonstrated goes very far beyond 'staying clear' of somebody, especially if this person did, over years, little more than walk up and down Beach Road.

 

Their strong reaction makes me think that they somehow are quite connected to the more shady things happening in the nightlife scene. Competitors, former collegues, business associates? In any case, these forum members have become, by their totally overplayed opposition, immediately suspect of being shady themselves.

 

Dogs that bark might not bite, but they cannot ever be confused as being cats.

I have heard that he used to pick fights with people and then stab them with a knife if argued back

As I agreed above, the nightlife attracts many unsavory people. Petty criminals can be met there en masse, so nothing special about it.

 

The reaction of some in this forum seems to suggest otherwise, so obviously people who have been wronged quite personally by this guy -- which means, they themselve must have been connected to local underworld activity as well.

He gave a few animal abusers what they deserved, that I know, and it was one incident with a knife involved. 

 

So many rumors and myths about him, but truth is, he was a lonely wolf caring for dogs and street girls.

 

Insecure I'm sure he was, and had to build this bad boy reputation.

Low life criminals have often fostered a PR image for themselves, Al Capone looked after people, the Kray twins charity work  etc. Soi dogs should not be fed and prostitutes are looked after by pimps and boyfriends, not tattooed pumped up foreign freaks who cannot speak the language.

Actually knew him several years back and often  passed the time of day with him when he was around the condo complex.. Him and I were completely poles apart yet he was always polite to the people who spoke to him. As for the bad boy image well I think that just followed him around but I suspect that your suggestion of insecurity was not quite correct, rather I always thought it was more a feeling of isolation and loneliness which he countered with his eccentric appearance and sometimes his behaviour.
