Popular Post attento Posted May 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2014 "Frenchman" would be better written with brackets, this kind of thug puts all of us to shame. EXACTLY ! Thai ppl will think all "farang cet" are the same, also belgian, swiss...and I'm fed up to note that every time a "French national" gets arrested in some kind of scamm, it has an arab (algerian or morrocan) name ! But never François Dupont for example... And after looking at the other pics in the newspaper article, I have to note he really looks likes another immigrant from noth africa.... Also, not very clever to ask a transaction of 1 MILLION baht at an ATM !!...;-) A thief is a thief, whatever his nationality or racial origins. The important words in this article, are "suspected thief is detained". He was not detained because he was French or whatever. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the 21st century by the way. Well he used to look like a Norman but due to a cock up in planning he now looks like a Muslim. You mean that he looks like Franck Ribéry? Yes, he's a Muslim (by the way, a Muslim is not a member of a specific ethnic group, but an adherent of a religion).

But by the sound of this guy's name, he might not be welcome any more in the home country of the French people who have a name with a French resonance. In France we have a long history with north africa countries. Algeria (with other countries in Africa) was one of the french old colonies, and thus we have a lot of immigration from Africa. It makes laugh also when I read "mister frenchman Jawad Naci" but hey ! he is as french as me. And he was not arrested upon that anyway, but because he was a scammer. Sorry about that by the way, I also read a lot of news about french scammers here -- we are not all scammers 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somchaismith Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) The word expat has taken on a new meaning in Thailand - seems to mean any foreigner who stays in Thailand over a week is branded with that name. Long gone are the days when the name really carried some meaning. Edited May 24, 2014 by somchaismith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long gone are the days when the name really carried some meaning. An expat - by definition - is a person who works and pays taxes (!) in a country other than his home country.

I reiterate - the definition has become perverted, in Thailand, any Tom, Dick or Harry foreigner, who's been here a week, is known as an expat, whether they be working or not.

Benmart Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 what police are these ? military? PINK HANDCUFFSPink handcuffs are not uncommon back home. They stand out and don't get mixed up with other agencies when transferring prisoners. If you have ever been to a jail or prison and tried to retrieve your handcuffs from a pile, it's difficult to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
