Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted April 4 Popular Post Share Posted April 4 8 hours ago, ukrules said: I wonder what would have happened if it was one of those hated foreigners? Exactly this.... ... If the tool driving down the beach was a foreigner, what charges would we have seen ? deportation ?.... much greater outrage at 'foreigners putting Thai's at risk etc'.... In the past when we have seen issues where the response is "If it was a Thai they'd only receive 500 Baht and a slap on the wrist!".... and then we have posters to respond... "You don't know that"... "You can't prove that"... "Post a Link to where that happened"... ... Well, here it is... . we have a situation where it was initially thought the perpetrator was not Thai and there is outrage... but when authorities find out he's Thai's we learn the fine is pathetic and insignificant. Of course, we will now need to see a 'foreigner' caught for doing exactly the same thing and getting fined more and deported for his actions to justify these opinions to the Thai Apologists. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling "victimised" over what you imagine what might of happened to an imaginary farang in the same situation are we? Your non stop ranting about how you are not being treated "fairly" in Thailand makes me wonder why you stay here? Thailand is not for snowflakes. They melt. Show me a single example of a foreigner doing the same thing and being deported for it. It has never happened anywhere apart from in your imagination. Go home if you dont like it.

Umlungu Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 It was all foreigner, foreigner, foreigner initially (NOT farang, mind you), before it turned out that it was actually a Thai driving his - alleged - 'rental' car along the beach for a few metres. So, it is confirmed he is a Thai citizen, possibly of Chinese descent (irrelevant, doesn't make the person a foreigner). Tourist from BKK, also irrelevant. Can we now receive a correction and apology by this media outlet for misrepresenting and lying about the facts? All foreigners were defamed in the process and should file a defamation case as a means of encouraging and enforcing proper reporting and not just unsubstantiated gossip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I don't know about y'all, but I didn't know it was illegal to do. Wonder what the citation was for. From the vid, there didn't seem to be anyone on the beach area, so not reckless endangerment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
