Convicted Brit Thug Allowed To Take Holiday In Thailand

[webfact]

Just what Thailand doesn't need, another thug on holiday

By Staff Writers

BANGKOK: -- As if Thailand’s Police force didn’t have enough to deal with… Britain has kindly allowed the temporary export of a violent, convicted, thug to Thailand, so that he can take his vacation here.

A British court is allowing a convicted thug, currently on bail for violence, to take his holiday in Thailand. Nathanial McIntosh is on a curfew and only escaped prison, after being found guilty at his trial, because he was willing to wear a tag so that Police know where he is at all times.

Yet the failed footballer from Falmouth succeeded in convincing a British court that he should be allowed to take his holidays in Thailand as they were booked before the crime took place. ( a likely story).

He pleaded guilty to using threatening and abusive language and behavior toward 3 people and was given a 12 week prison sentence, suspended for a year, in a case heard last month.

During the attack he is said to have given at least one of the three a “good kicking” during a sustained attack and has previous convictions for similar offences.

Yet now the UK magistrates have agreed to allow him to have a holiday. [more...]

What a story! Foul-mouthed bigot is allowed to holiday in Thailand.

According to the magistrates association “If the curfew clashes with work, a pre-booked holiday, a relative’s wedding, or a job interview, magistrates can adjust the curfew as they see fit. ”They will not add to the punishment by forcing the offender to suffer additional financial losses from losing irrecoverable deposits.”

If immigration have any sense they'll put him on the next plane back to the UK

"Failed Footballer from Falmouth."

Try saying that after 6 big Changs.

[catmac]

If he's going to Pattaya, he should feel really at home!

[Carib]

I am sure a holiday will make him a better person...

For precisely what? For being a foul-mouthed failed Footballer from Falmouth?

[jamhar]

Nice deterrent.

I'm sure he is learning a good lesson from this experience.

If the immigration send back all the junk, than Pattaya would be a ghost city....

[eezergood]

Thailand you reap what you sow! I think a few football casuals educating the local Tuktuk mafia here in Patong is just the ticket. I would also like to see the same thread replaced with Russian mafia, Aussie bikers, Scandanavian thugs...... All of which I know live & holiday here

[TheShockMaster]

Easy for the UK officials to tip off immigration in Thailand, stop him at Bangkok airport, send him back. Everyone's a winner. British courts can say they "gave him his holiday", Thailand said "no". Another waster in Thailand.

He might try saying it

Maybe he will rent a jet ski and try his luck with these thugs.

[Morakot]

Agree. He will have to keep his gob shut otherwise he'll end up in the clink.

As long as it's another customer willing to spend money, immigration couldn't care less.

[siampolee]

Looks as if the U.K. government is learning lessons from theThai politicians and certain families involved in politics here in Thailand doesn't it ?

[BirdsandBooze]

At least this time the UK taxpayer isn`t having to foot the bill for a convicted crim`s holiday.

[Robby nz]

How about:

"Swap you your thug for our thug"

Next time he is London.

[Cloggie]

I thought the Dutch system was sick but looks like we can learn something from the U.K.

Do you think UK officials can find someone at the Thai immigration who can speak english?

[submaniac]

Frankly, both Dutch and UK could learn from "Thai way" of handling undesireables...towing them out to sea.

I can already see the headline: Free Bananaboat Rides for Convicted Criminals

[uptheos]

Will he have to wear a long range tag so that the police know where he is?

[jonclark]

Thailand stop complaining about convicts coming here - You are politically ruled by one and as the last election showed most Thais overwhelming approve of this situation.

And if you expect an objective opinion from Pattaya 101 on which to base your discussions... well nuff said

To use the old adage - opinions are like armpits - everyone has them and most stink.

[angsta]

This really is another non-story. Can you just imagine the quality of foreign criminal that reside in Thailand? This guy does not even warrant a mention in the top 50%. I expect this kind of rubbish from The Daily Mail.

[Morakot]

I would like to seen an update on this man's holiday. What places will he visit and what cultural highlights will he see? What will be the extent of his appreciation of the indigenous socio-political context?

[rkidlad]

This guy is a thug plain and simple, but this really is a non story.

What about the channel 3 actor who shot and killed someone. Didn't he arrive at the police station a day early so he could go on vacation? How about making a similar report about him?

[uptheos]

I would like to seen an update on this man's holiday. What places will he visit and what cultural highlights will he see?

Same as any other man that comes here......temples, elephants. food, meditation, monk chat etc!

[noitom]

Why is this newsworthy? And why doesn't Thai immigration decline him a tourist visa or refuse him entry? The reason is, he is planning to spend money in Thailand and that is the reason.

[arthurwait]

This is news ? Go down to Pattaya and have a field day.

What next, convicted kerb crawler goes on holiday to Thailand ? drunk and disorderly case goes on holiday to Thailand ?
