I heard they just got the money back for a guy who had been really severely extorted from the Tourist Police (vice the little payments made here and there that everyone pays) I am English which means I get absolutely zero help from my Embassy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately she isn't legally married to him And it's a rental anyway. Reading yesterday that the guy has had his visa revoked, but has an extension to stay and face charges, I'd bet dollars to donuts he'll still be in Thailand a year from now after things calm down a little and restitution is made to all parties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobU Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 1 hour ago, Rampant Rabbit said: I have a personal experience of a machete wielding nut job trying to hack at me as I was in his way when he jumped a traffic light queue almost hitting me in the process. Right outside a police station which I reported and nothing was done, they initially told me to go away to another station as they were too lazy to do anything. The other station told me to go back to them, nothing was done they didnt even contact the nutjob. The second police station were more helpful they looked up his car reg number and immediately told me he was a not good person, they knew him apparently. Not all police are lazy ours are very good. I think the fact that you had no evidence i.e. your word against his was a factor in their lazy behaviour. I also have personal experience of being threatened with a machete, by my noisy next door neighbour. I went to the local police station and made a formal written complaint. Unfortunately I had no video or photographic evidence, just the word of my wife so the case would not have held up in court. However the local police chief paid him a visit and the noise has since stopped. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Elephant Park is not a charity. Using words like "Sanctuary" or "Rescue" doesn't mean it's a charity. His park was just another tourist attraction whose main purpose was making money. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BE88 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 4 hours ago, Mike Teavee said: If this guy's Visa has been revoked, I can't believe there is even a question about whether the 2nd guy's should be as his actions were far, far worse. So far it seems the he (2nd guy) has remained silent about what he did (not much he can offer as a defense really) as he seems to believe if he stays silent he'll just be sent packing, boy is he in for a rude awakening.... Som Nam Naa for those actions. No, the second one who violently hit Ms. Thai in Big C. wanted to go to prison and is awaiting his trial, he did not want to pay the 50,000 THB for bail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charities are allowed to sell services and make a profit, as long as all the profits are put back into running the charity. As chief exec of the charity he can pay himself anything he like. His salary would classed as part of the running costs. I would wager all the profits go to him as salary. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimTripper Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) I wonder if the kicking one was an accident? If someone is sitting below you just a brush of the foot would be blown out of proportion. It also happened on a beach stairway which does not seem like a likely place for an intentional kicking. Then, you have a Thai doctor who may be over sensitive to the implications of foot or leg contact by someone standing over them.
