muratremix Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Masseur in beach road? If anybody wants massage, one goes to SPA / Massage shop, not to beach road where you can pick up ladies for cheap charlie prices. So Mr. Mohammed can't admit why he picked up a lady from beach road and Thai police like to cover up one end of the story just like that huh?

happysanook Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Idiot. Som nam na. Gotta love these guys who have been here for a year or a couple holidays and start spoutin' Thai sayings aimed at other foreigners. Likely the one next in line to be called an idiot.

MK1 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Without further rhetoric, Mr Reza should provide the evidence of his lost personal possessions and source of cash in order to bring the matter before the Tourist Court of Pattaya. It will be interesting to see, in the end, if has such evidence available, since the onus is now upon him to put up or shut in the same way as if a Travel insurance company would deal with the same situation thereafter.

atlbravosfan Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 The poor English in the story is no doubt the result of a German speaking a (2nd ? 3rd ?) language (English) to a translator speaking a (2nd ? 3rd ?) language, being overheard by a reporter that has a basic knowledge of English and is probably doing the best he can to makes sense of what he's hearing. All the English professors out there could do themselves (and the rest of us) a big favour by volunteering to proof read all of the news articles produced by the various media outlets prior to them being published or broadcast. Or perhaps they could offer to pay someone for those services? You know, not everything has to be volunteer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiestyFarang Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Terrible thing to do, apart from the fact people can die like this if they are already taking some medication to lower blood pressure etc. I won't be accepting any "water" etc if I have a massage from now on.

tragickingdom Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 So, he was "hopped" by a woman "we" picked up ... who writes this stuff ?

I would have thought that it was a pre requsite for any media outlet to have qualified staff for this purpose otherwise they really have no viable credential. The story line problems in Thailand are far more likely to be from the quality of the on site reporters. If the proof readers are given horse shit no mater how you polish it ,it is still horse shit. Thai media is not about accurate and intellegent reporting .It is pure theatre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdog Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hop on pop. "A fool and his money are soon parted". As for names, is there some not so veiled racism and/or religionism (were there such a word!) in these posts? Perhaps those posts implying he is not such a good Muslim (we don't know) are from the holier than thou crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Equalizer Posted September 30, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2013 Sprechen Sie Dosh!! Want some pay back? I did. Bought a nice thick gold chain from the market. Cost me 200 BHT, Got the best massage this earth has even seen, and it lasted for several hours. Plus there was two of them. Time for a shower, i left the chain at the side of the bed, came out of the shower, the front door was open and not a sign of anyone in the room. Sum Nam Naa. It was heaven. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newermonkey Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 An English language newspaper should be expected to do better and if any media mogul wants my proof-reading services they are welcome to call me. I would guess there are no native English reporters at PDN, they did a story on me when I had a problem (attacked by a Thai druggy) when they did have and old English guy working there, and even then they twisted up all the facts and published utter garbage.

cMe2 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Where can I buy sleeping pills like the woman used? Fast acting! And for 12 hours. Are you considering to do the same ? I think combined with alcohol and the number of tablets placed therein can cause drowsiness and induce an unconcious state for six to eight hours but considering the victims age twelve hours plausible. As where to buy such tablets try any underhanded pharmacy or small Medical practice with a sympathetic Receptionist/Nurse and enouhgh Baht. A couple of 2mg Alprazolam should do the trick combined with a 600ml bottle of prefered Beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smotherb Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 So, he was "hopped" by a woman "we" picked up ... who writes this stuff ? Try writing in Thai if you are so much better. Then look at most of the TV posters' written English competency--not any better. This is a country with very little English ability. So English language publications have to rely on the English capabilities of Thai writers, printers, and editors. Somehow I doubt the English would be much better if they hired the average native English-speaking falang living here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realenglish1 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 So, he was "hopped" by a woman "we" picked up ... who writes this stuff ? I will tell you who writes it Staffers who are not educated jounalists I have complained time and time again about the writing here and Thai visa does not give a shit about the writing only how many views they get This is so sad One time I read here that an elephant was being held by police until the owner could produce its passport. I guess it must have been an Indian Elephant on vacation. The journalistic talent here is about equal to a Falang taking a couse in Thai for 2 weeks and thinking he knows the Thai language . Common Thai Visa I worked for ABC News and would have been fired within a minute if I wrote this type of material but then you are not ABC are you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
