I haven't seen this one posted in either the Pattaya or Thailand News sections, and I thought it was worth sharing it. From this morning's Daily Mail:

 

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14346445/thailand-holiday-hell-road-sign-leaned.html

 

As is often the case, I suspect we're only getting one side of the story here, though the Foreign Office seems to have accepted his tale. It started with him bumping into a sign and damaging it. Maybe he'd had a few Changs too many and, when in that condition, some people become aggressive, and maybe that's why the cops arrested him in the first instance? I won't speculate any further, anyway.

 

Many of the photos in that article are the same as those used in this one:

 

 

...about a 29-year-old former British soldier who got banged up for overstay. Do the Soi 9 cops now have a standard set of press photos they release showing their desirable cells, lol? Or did the Mail lift the pictures from the AN article?

 

Anyway, if what the guy in the Mail story says is true, then it's an appalling way to be treated. But I think there's a lot more to it than just that. Anyone?
