With respect, a reference I discovered on Google:- "We have traveled we know the world and have friends from other countries thus our minds are more open. Islam like many religions is outdated in many of its traditions. We don't really think god will punish us for having a beer or more with friends" https://www.quora.com/Why-do-Saudi-and-Qatari-people-drink-alcohol-in-western-countries I shall not enter into any discussions about religious beliefs. My sole intention was to post the above reference. Thank you. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thingamabob Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 If he was drunk he may have not known much about what he was doing. Possibly riding the jet ski without paying rather than trying to steal it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4MyEgo Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) It was all a misunderstanding, I was drunk, I don't recall anything, please let me go. Hmm, ok, we understand, you pay us 20,000 baht to cover the Jet ski operator not to press charges, hospital costs and our admin costs, otherwise you go jail, "up to you". We the local boys in brown thank you very much for your understanding. Edited February 25, 2023 by 4MyEgo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
