I suspect that most high-school papers have higher standards than CNN, America's version of Pravda.

It's ethnically prejudiced and narrow minded people like you that Thailand doesn't need. I'll help you pack. The guy made a mistake, we don't know the circumstances, but he showed remorse and respect and he paid restitution. If everyone is satisfied then it's none of your business. So take your bigotry and prejudices back home to your own country where you fit right in. Most of the Brits I've met are fine people and certainly better than half the Americans back in the US, which is where I'm from. 

 

so you call him prejudiced and then go on and do the exact same thing by being prejudice against half of americans ? i assume it is due to your political leanings ? 

 

shall i head down to home depot and get some new glass for your house ?

Police brokered a deal between them. Seems BIB do lots of things except what you’d expect from police.

So you’re a bigot, a racist and I would also add an idiot. He did wrong and has answered for his wrong doings. Everyone involved is happy with the outcome. The police have given him a severe warning and you stereotype/brand very Brit who lives here or is a tourist the same. Take a look in the mirror and you’ll see a muppet.

I wish you had the time to scold posters like this every day. There are many angry people on the Forum.

Serious doubts about being a mercenary, AND living here for 22 years, but often truth stranger than fiction .Sounds dubious at best, but5 many here reinvent themselves as it sounds better and justifies their odd actions.

I worked for KGB

Can’t see the relevance to naming his past profession, but I suppose plain old Thug doesn’t stand out in a news headline as much as Ex Mercenary

A so called mercenary aged 22...so called living in Thailand but working as a hired mercenary to fund his stay here?

Not married, not retired he must having been bouncing around for many years doing border runs or time out of Thailand. 

 

 He is a businessman and don't ask what business.

What's that, Keep Going Broke?  That's not what I worked for, but it kept happening when women were involved.

 

 

Former Andy McNab reader.

Is there a secret hidden agreement between UK and Thailand? That UK have permission to deport the dumbest, ugliest, rudest people to Thailand?

A deep state agreement? Sure, his visa can't be revoked. UK will definitely refuse to take this scumbag back. 👎

44 years old

22 years living in Thailand

so assume he came to LOS when he was 22 years old

how has he supported himself for 22 years

what visa has been on for 22 years - is that possible?

when / where was he a mercenary if he's lived in Thailand since he was 22 years old?

 

Some explanation would be nice.

 

Maybe he was a merc in Noddy Land

I arrived here when I was 22 and am significantly older than this guy. No explanation needed - it's nobody's business.

What made him leave samui to go to udon thani ? 

Confessed to driving around after drinking at 7am in morning, sounds like a quality guy !

Well I worked for MI5, MI6, the SAS, the SBS, the CIA and the FSB and I've never heard of him.
I'm also an alcoholic who props up beer bars and tells everyone every detail of my "clandestine" career.

You may not like the outcome, I may not like the outcome, but if he was a muzzie terrorist in Europe touching little girls he would not be paying any compensation let alone apologizing.

Yet almost all the headlines worldwide of "tourists" acting badly are about brits... go figure. If he were an American he would fit right in with your democratic platform of apologizing and crying when he is caught out being an ass... you always apologize and cry when caught out... never change your attitude though.

Reading this he would of been 22 years old when he arrived in Thailand and yet he is or was a mercenary would be  interesting to know where he trained in fire arms and tactics most Mercenaries are ex military personnel. Can only think he has some good friends high up to avoid having his visa revoked

I have multiple friends that live here after wars for good and usually work w former blackwater or other security firms as mercenaries, once they live abroad so long it's more appealing to live in places like Thailand,, a wonderful country where you can give your victims the money instead of the government court system. In America the courts take the money and victims wait forever to get restitution if ever 

Security firms don’t hire mercenaries they hire ex military personnel I’m ex military and yes there are a lot of us living in the kingdom and living a peaceful life !

In one article he was quoted as saying that he had "personal" problems, and was taking tranquilizers. And said he had consumed alcohol while operating a motor vehicle.

 

"Strong warning."

 

He seems to have quite a few excuses.

 

 

Mr. Davis explained that he was a former mercenary from the United Kingdom and had moved to Thailand 22 years ago to start a family and had an 18-year-old daughter with his Thai wife. He admitted to acting irrationally due to personal and family problems and regularly taking sleeping pills or tranquilizers.

 

Before the incident, he had run errands with his daughter in Udon Thani city and drank 40-degree white wine at a Bun Bang Fai festival in Phen district.... อ่านข่าวต้นฉบับได้ที่ :
