gburns57au Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) Right on the button.According to gburns we should all treat each other with disrespect until we earn it. Anyway....Gb go back to topic. Nope, we should treat people we meet with civility and tolerance and be respectful towards them until they show that they are not deserving. Being respectful is not the same as respecting someone. If I said to you " I am a resident here so you have to respect me" what would you say? Felt35.....interesting link on human rights.....I didnt see the part that says respect is a right that you are entitled to. Back to the Dutchman.....There are many possible scenarios here......until the Dutch guy turns up alive or dead then everything here is mere speculation.

brahmburgers Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I always read Remember one thing , you go to ATM or Bank to take money and the thai people go to bank to deposit your money, who is clever now ? Yes, the bar girls and katoy at the tourist areas could be called clever, batblaster. Crafty, shifty, conniving, two-faced, ....are other adjectives that could describe the sheisters who take money from farang in underhanded scheming ways.

Heng Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hardly clever. Bottom of the food chain in a profession with a high percentage for Darwinian selection for extinction. But yes, in relative terms, probably more intelligent than folks who lose homes, property, and sometimes their lives to these people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumfoord Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Drugged!? What a joke. Did they have blood work done to confirm their story? They were probably comatose from Lao Khao when he drove off. Dude took back the car he bought for his 'girlfriend' and now they're moaning about it and inventing tales. Sounds entirely plausible. He probably bought the car (how often does the Thai woman buy the car when she's steady with a farang?). Perhaps their relationship was on the ropes. She says, 'no way, dude, car in my name, I keep for me!" He waits until they're crashed out, and takes off with it. Soon after the woman and her family realize what's happened, they concoct stories to make it sound like a bigger deal. Local cops agree with the dramatized version, ....why wouldn't they? plausible for what reasons? only your own mind of prejudice, bias and stereotypes becomes true here. have you never seen thais driving their own cars? or is the whole traffic jam in Bangkok or Chiang Mai, all cars of course, sponsored by 'falangs'? any thai woman that socialise with a western foreigner must be of course a drunkard, liar and just want cheat the money and car out of the innocent 'farang'?

Timbrin Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) Here is some more information on the story. Sorry cannot link h**p://www.scandasia.com/viewNews.php?coun_code=th&news_id=5749 'Dane' Who Robbed Thai Family Not Danish A Thai woman who was drugged and afterwards robbed together with her brother and mother in the family's home in Phitsanulok in the North of Thailand dismisses allegations that the man who committed the crime was Danish. He was an Arab, she says According to the major English daily The Nation and other Thai language media, a Danish man allegedly drugged and afterwards robbed his 29-year old Thai female friend Panpaporn, her brother Satawat, 16, and mother Pensri Khamkerd, 51, during a visit to the family's home in Phitsanulok's Muang district on the 16th of October. The real story, however, turns out to be slightly different. "He was not Danish, he was Arab," 29-year old Panpaporn told ScandAsia when contacted by phone from Bangkok on Tuesday 20 October. Panpaporn doesn't know where the information about him being Danish came from. She did however use to have a Danish boyfriend and maybe somebody got them mixed up, she says, adding that her Danish ex boyfriend never would do anything like that, since he was a very sweet guy. The whole incident started when Panpaporn last weekend came home to her mother's house with a friend, who was a foreigner. The man had been to the house twice before, so the family knew him. At midnight Panpaporn's mother woke up and discovered that something was wrong. Her daughter and son were asleep, the house had been ransacked and the foreigner was no where to be seen. She quickly sent her daughter and son to the hospital as it seemed they had been drugged. The police later told that when searching the house, they found four glasses of orange juice on the kitchen table and fried chicken from KFC. The grandmother, who lives close by, afterwards told that her 16-year old grandson had gone over to her in the evening and that he had behaved strangely. He talked in a drowsy way and walked like he was drunk. When she asked him if he had been drinking he said that he had just had some orange juice. The police in Phitsanulok declined to comment on the case. Since the culprit was still on the run, information about him in the press could be fatal to the investigation and their chances of catching him, an officer told ScandAsia. The officer confirmed, however, that he had dark hair and added that a description of Panpaporn's car, which he had stolen, had been distributed over the radio. The car is a dark green Nissan Cefiro with the license plate: 167 Phitsanulok. The man also got away with several valuables, including a gold necklace and a diamante ring. Panpaporn and her brother are both better now after being treated at a nearby hospital. Edited October 21, 2009 by Timbrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why so defensive and nationalistic? I assume that you are Thai and that your grasp of the finer points of the English language is, shall we say, tenuous? Plausible means capable of being believable, or even valid. No posts state that the purported facts that have gone before touch base with reality or that the opinions stated, which are based on such probably inaccurate information as is available, have any validity. They are, nevertheless plausible, a tag that is sadly missing from so many Thai police reports. The quotes in this post are merely the opinions of those posters, nothing else. You need to understand the the vast majority of farangs come from democratic, developed countries and are conditioned, for better or for worse, to speaking what is on their minds. This state of affairs, to your detriment, does not obtain in Thailand. The posters are merely being typical farangs so why don't you be typically Thai and judge the postings of us 'lesser peoples' as so much tosh and give your predilection for the 'mai pen rai attitude' full rein?

MegaRanter Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 She NEVER claimed he was Danish. and she never confirmed that he was not danish either. But I can say that an Arab could still be Danish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAWP Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 The most odd retort ever. Yes, it is possible, in theory, that he has Danish citizenship - but it was already established in the news post that a previous boyfriend of hers was a Danish and that the OP must have gotten things mixed up somewhere. So the chances of your theory being correct is pretty much close to zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiChai Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thailand at its best, doing what it does well, which is misinforming and confusing! What rubbish journalism, I can't believe anything here is worldclass, more like 3rd world class. I am sorry about my outburst, but this is just rubbish. Could the girlfriend remember which boyfriend she brought home? Maybe there has been so many boyfriends she got confused? A bit of a difference between an Arab and a Danish guy, and what a number plate! Imagine the police trying to find a Danish guy when all the time he was an Arab. I give up... Useless comes to mind.
