Thai beauty queen tricked into paying 800,000 baht for victory

She’s engaged in criminal enterprise. At least she should be under house arrest for a year……preferably at my house🫢🫢🫢

if she's a real beauty the organizer would probably asks for other kind of payments

What was the prize money for winning?? you wouldn't pay a bribe to win unless you were going to get significantly more, she was duped but also stood to gain from paying a bribe, is that a crime??

And you deem yourself qualified to make such a judgement based only on comments in an online forum?

 

Wonder who is stupid now.

I apologise, but obviously as you say, you may not be so stupid off line. Unfortunately I've got no way to tell. Apparently you know more about the woman off line as well.

Most scams are succesful because of vanity, greed or stupidity.  This lady scored on all three.

I am sorry, but I fail to understand what you are posting about. Why would I know, or more about, the woman off-line. My post was based on her actions and comments according to the news. Maybe you know all you comment about here personally, but the major part of the forum members do not.

If you got no way to tell, then why did you try to? That, to me, seems rather stupid. What do you think?

Except she would most likely face charges of defamation and end up paying even more or face jail time too.

We cannot cower in the face of threats of defamation. These are laws written by small men, to protect criminals, miscreants, those unwilling to offer a good product or service, and other fools.

Outstanding comment - I couldn't agree more.....    

 

... Yet here we are in a country knowing that we, nor those around us have the freedom to speak as freely as we wish - while free speech requires responsibility, it cannot be chained.

 

Its a crying shame that Thailands potential is stifled by such self serving myopia.
