 Yes, the police and Thais involved will gang up against the farang. Fact. 

If it's farang v farang the police will side with the farang offering the larger kick back. Fact / True story.

Three hundred and seventy pounds dragged behind a pickup.I sure someone would have captured that on dashcaam.

same photo of the fat guy on the floor and exposed the harsh prison conditions.

 

 

Is this the same fat guy who, on the forum, reportedly evacuated his bowels on a public street, and then went skinny-dipping in the temple pool next-door?

 

I always wondered what had become of him.

 

And now, here he is, not just once, but twice if you count the first time he showed up in prison, in last week's story.

 

Probably the same guy, and he never seems to move, either.

He remains chained to the prison bars in perpetuity.

 

Wish we knew his name so that we could learn more about him, and how he ended up where he is now.

This happens, for every one case in the news there are many others that don't hit the headlines. I have travelled to Thailand since 1995 and had a few events but this took the cake in my wife's home town Sakon Nakhon Isan. One day in town looking for a dentist to get some new dentures. Rather than explain here what happened I will share the link as the only way to stop this event was the website. The RTP were of no use they were scared of the lady dentist as they all had a section M65 or whatever they called it against them, many in town we were told later knew of her antics and that she had the power and was nuts. I had my Thai lawyer and the backing of a rich Thai family but this was no match for her she wanted big money from me as she had got in the past from similar accusations on Thai people. All the police about 6 of them in the Sakon office had a case against them for one or another reason ( Not prosecuting people) and would not touch the case for simple fear of her. So we had to wait a week or so for a new office to the area to deal with our case. They just had to do what she ordered and they harassed the family in the village calling my wife and even attempting to stop us from flying back to the UK. Even in the UK, it did not stop the family was harassed till I built the site and wrote to the Dental Association BKK.

Just to keep all the victimized British tourists in a row-  The Jan. 20th story in the Daily Mail concerned a 29-year-old man who'd been locked up over 'a few days''' overstay.  He can managed to smuggle in a cell phone that he used to capture the images that illustrated both stories.  He photographed the 55-year-old, 300-lb guy lying in the cell.  The heavy guy also contacted the Daily Mail and they ran his story of abuse and theft.  Even his flipflops were stolen!  

 

I have to agree both stories have significant holes and a lot has been left out.  Here's an example of how the Daily Mail has been forced to backtrack on yet another recent Thailand atrocity story.  From Feb. 3:

 

British businesswoman who said she was unfairly locked up in a Thai jail after 'confronting a client' is 'seen on CCTV with fellow Brit who threatens to "f**k up" a man in his home while pinning him down'

This is the original story on Jan. 26, 2025:

I  was locked up in a hellhole Thai jail after a row at WORK... I had to bribe a guard to get wet wipes - now I'm facing a 20 year sentence
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14317785/I-locked-hellhole-Thai-jail-row-WORK-bribe-guard-wet-wipes-Im-facing-20-year-sentence.html

 

There were, indeed, some important facts left out of the earlier story!

Seems hard tobeleive.

I was recently in Thai for  months. The x husband of the woman I was seeing hit heron the side of the head  - prompley knocked him out -I am x Army..... Later he came to the house and kicked the front door in. I told her to call the police while I blocked his entry.

The police were very understang and thanked me for protecting a thai woman. They arrested him and gave him an exclusion order.

Moral of story, be nice to  them, folllow their culture and they will shake your hand
