tonytigerbkk Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Can the writing be more crap, please? I don't understand what is being said. I feel your pain. I always thought that PDN used Google translate to change the Thai version to English but I have just read another story on their site, titled ‘Bisexual Rave Gang Hard Travel Bags Elicit Bankrupt In Pattaya’. Just the headline makes me dizzy but the writing in the story realy baked my noodle and even Google translate does not mess up this much on this story. I mean, <deleted> the story is about a pickpocket incident but they even manage to get the word ‘Paralympics’ into the story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was told to take the bike to Jomtien Beach in front of the Welcome Jomtien Hotel where someone would come to inspect the bike with a view of purchasing the vehicle if it was in good condition.Mr. Sasha waited for a time and was about to leave after no one came to inspect the bike. Suddenly a Honda City Car arrived and a group of Thai men emerged from the vehicle and claimed they were Immigration officers and Mr. Sasha was ordered into the car. While inside the car, he was told that he would be held by the men until 1 Million Baht was paid to them.Mr. Sasha came up with a story that he would meet his friend at the Ambassador City Hotel in Na-Jomtien where he would collect the money. The men agreed to take Mr. Sasha to the hotel.
