If a drunk foreigner threw a bike through your window, would you ask for 1, 000 baht to fix the window, or as much as you think you could get?

It's common practice here to get as much out of foreigners as possible, and Thais often laugh/brag about it. 

There is a way to avoid overcharging - don't throw rocks and bicycles at houses.

We all know this is never Bt30,000 or anywhere near that amount. It might be Bt1000 or maybe Bt3000 but the "demand" is at least 10 times the true cost.

Rubbish. Obviously you have never replaced any glass. It would have been 1000 baht in 1985.

he should pay for:

new glass door

compensation for time spent on having to research new door

compensation for time spent during installation

professional clean up before and after

any loss of income due to time spent

and finally a punitive fine, so it really hurts

 

 

 

That must be around 30K ?????

[craighj]

The amount is not relevant, the fact that this guy is a total idiot is.  Make him pay whatever the amount is plus a good additional amount for being an ignorant <deleted>, lock him up for 6 months, deport him and ban him for 5 years.

 

What a total tosser!

Apparently at formal functions in Benidorm a black tracksuit is required!

JD sports Liverpool is their only branch with an "evening wear" section! ????

Regardless of anything said here, jail the idiot for 90 days, deport and ban. Don't need these people

It’s relatively low level criminal damage for which the penalties in most parts of the world are an appropriate fine ,full victim compensation and a criminal conviction,often even a caution. 
Jailing is just a silly overreaction.

[brianthainess]

He walks away without 'his' bike, does the lady get to keep it? I wonder whether it was his or hired? on yer bike mate.

I think there is more to this story why pick that 'shop' ?

You must be a Brit apologist?

 

If a Thai had had a dummy spit over losing his phone and wrecked an Englishman's house you would be making comments like"frail Thai ego" "thai man child" etc etc.

 

But when a brit does it you turn it around to blame the Thai victim.

 

Good job.

Thai woman, Kanittha Kokyai

I don't know about his phone story, but this may be the reason for his bad mood.

[fceligoj]

Should have his tourist permit or visa revoked and given 5 days to get a flight out of Thailand (and blackballed.)

[Goat]

Does seem to be an almost daily reporting of them in Thailand.

 

Smashing bottles over the elderly in Pattaya gogo bars, the "bar manager" soi six arrest, endless no insurance motorbike crashes and the inevitable go fund me, the Phuket coward punch on the Thai tuk tuk driver after he smashed into the parked Tuk Tuk, the peados, passing forged money to vendors in Koh Phangan, smashing up 7-11s, stealing cash from Thai women in supermarkets, graffiting ancient Chiang Mai walls etc etc.

 

What will it be tomorrow?

 

And the irony of them constantly complaining about the Russian, Chinese, Indian tourists. And the Thais, even in this thread.

Etiquette is quite clear, the bride only wears white if she is a virgin.

 

Now in Benidorm...

You don't go around charging people what you think? I do agree the guy was an idiot!

Normally the person would get a someone round who can give a quote as to how much it will cost to repair the damage?

But there again this is Thailand?

Yes I can agree with that but there also has to be a restitution factor, why should she have to endure his stupid actions, run around looking for tradesmen to repair the damage etc. let alone the emotional factor, this is her home, her private space that has been violated for no reason by a stranger.

Why so aggressive in your reply?

Please tell us if you know more of the story. 

There was no "aggresion" in my post, just a comment on what you said that suggested, perhaps, that you knew more of the story!  Please tell us if you do.

If you don't want responses to your thoughts, don't post them on a forum the sole purpose of which is to generate comments and responses.  Your "vibes" are your problem, not mine.

[kidneyw]

I would have though scaring the bejesus out of family members at 2.30 in the morning would have been the bigger issue.

If it was my family. I would want them to through the book at him, never mind the payment for the broken window/door.

IT makes me wonder what the Thai person did to trigger and force that uncharacteristic and extreme action from an otherwise model British citizen !!!
