[Buchholz]

seems like Paratrooper Andy has a previous run-in with the law in Florida.

ANDREW JAMES AGNEW

I don't think he has been in Thailand that long or he would know that only Thais can do that job and has no work permit to allow him to do it.

Silly boy.

he'll be alright - he's half thai.

After seeing his cached photo from Facebook:

I'm rather inclined to think Andy is a bit of fraudster in regards to his claim of being a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne. He's gone way overboard with his chest full of medals.

That doesn't jive with his current Facebook photo (Post #2) showing him with the rank of private, his age, and his "former" status. The U.S. Army doesn't dish out medals like the Thai Army does.

He wouldn't be the first bogus claimant here for illustrious military service.

I'll concede that his cached photo DOES go along with his Facebook-listed "like" activity of Drinking.

Probably just loses his temper easily when intoxicated; probably got nothing to do with his previous service in combat areas or being a paratrooper. And I'm saying this as a military veteran myself.

WHAT AREAS WOULD THAT BE???????????????????????? a lot of experience at his age

better keep this lot in USA

then again everybody knows US beer doesn't contain alcohol, drinking real beer is dangerous

[Tywais]

Had some footage of some defacements from my last trip so thought I'd knock up a quick and dirty video to celebrate the fact - warning soundtrack contains some foul language....

No defacements here.

The US Army certainly dishes out a 100 times more fruit salad than the Aussie Army.

[ChrisY1]

On the contrary, it would be appropriate good ole Spiro was governor of Maryland and was nailed for corruption.

Perhaps the poor chap was possessed by demons..........

Mmmm...demons as in your avatar.....??

[Pib]

Oh the fruit salad he's wearing is nothing compared to the "war hero" type decorations, ribbons, medals, blinking lights, etc., worn by many high level Thai govt civil servants. Please note I said "civil servants" and not the Thai military. When looking at some of the ceremonies on TV news a person would thing everybody is a 5 star general and been in 10 wars. Thai civil servants sure like "bling" on their special made uniforms.

Anyway, he should keep that in mine if chooses to impersonate an Australian Army paratrooper next.

3:30 am and intoxicated - I am pretty sure politics has little to do with any of it. I noticed on the page he listed under Favorites

Activities

Drinking

Agreed. Obviously another drinker that's had just too much, after all it was 3 30am. BUT who really gives a s***t? Is this story of any interest I ask you?

[ChrisY1]

Oh...thank goodness only 2 of the beautifully airbrushed posters of candidate Pongsapat were damaged.....I just love the teeth and dyed hair in his posters....!!

[comserve]

Looks like he is not used to the strong Thai beer, probably drinks watered down Budwiser at home!!

It's the ruddy cheeks that take the biscuit

During the main election campaign PTP supporters destroyed thousands of Democrat Party billboards.

No one was arrested.

That is a common practice here in Esaan. Yeah red democracy and free speech.

[Puyai]

When he's out send him up my way. I've got a bottle of Johnnie Walker Red and 100 signs up my road waiting for him.

[chainarong]

Visual pollution , you actually become sign blind , anyone from risk assessment or safety, will tell you , the more signs, the less likely of being noticed, as for the former Paratrooper, ya stuffed up son, but Jesus signs in Asia do give ya the sh!!ts. .

[IAMSOBAD]

60 Billboards =hitting 2 women FINE 1000baht Thai Justice

[nosatisfaction]

He's welcome to visit my Soi anytime.

me too? whereabout is that?

any bars?

[impulse]

Where can I contribute to his legal fund?

Or at the very least, buy the guy a beer.

I don't encourage vandalism, but I like the idea of cleaning up obnoxious litter, and that's the only way I can describe that trash.

[nosatisfaction]

It is about time someone attempted to do something about these horrifically obnoxious ads. A few ads here and there are fine. But, upon traveling around Bangkok, I found literally thousands of posters within just several blocks of my hotel. It is way, way, way over the top. I realize these insects who are running, need to insure the continual flow of the tens of millions of dollars, into their savings accounts. But, is there no limit to the advertising?

change hotel, area or country

[Beetlejuice]

INTOXICATED FRENZY. I like it.

Definitely has more of a twang to it than the old description, drunk and disorderly.

Range practice, Dixie bashing, stubbing your toe, shaving. The vast majority of Aussie troops (99%) go through thier careers without a single thing apart from the National medal that every government employee gets after 15 yrs service. Well maybe not shaving but we use to hang it on the yanky troops when they came across for exercises dripping in fruit salad.

Nonsense anti US propaganda rearing it's ugly head. Come back when you have some knowledge of what you are talking about. This from a combat vet who has served with Aussie troops in the field and they are nothing like you.

[rattler]

I must admit those cheesy grins the white suits the rows of medals the black hair dye..............yeah all those things make me want to rip out the posters too............they may as well say look at my smarmey face and see how much I can milk off the dumb electorate if you vote me in.

[CobraSnakeNecktie]

Yeah Man don't mess with CMKelly.. He is old school military ass kicker and historian.

He used to open steel beer cans with his teeth.

[AhFarangJa]

How about he runs for mayor next time, along the lines of the old monster raving loony party, sure he would win.
