Pattaya Police Chief begins investigation into Tim 'Sharky' Ward

[Leviathan]

I stated that, basically he's learning thus= that gold n cash is what it cost for you to stay here, now go back to wearing 70s bikers shorts and shawzeniger's boots from the movie commando in this tropical heat and enjoy your ladies of the night, roids and dog humanitarian work, your like a fixture we welcome you here.

your not aware of were you are in asia until something goes wrong, but in some sense your not in this world as a spiritual being until u feel that until everyone is free and not unjustly fined or imprisoned im not free, usualy by being a little in the wrong we learn this lesson in Thailand if we travel enough to her, and with his past karma (the karma we know about) it all seems very karma like.

he's a soi dog quasi god, though him a bone everyone deserves a second chance but the money is gone pooch, go by the beach with your dogs and hope someone feeds you too.

He was set up by the cops but has enough bravery to fight back. Good luck to him!

[Living in a cartoon]

I ran into this guy once and we chatted for a while. Struck me as a decent enough guy.

Face saving way out?

Face saving way out?

Now that is funny...... Looks like someone gave him a word to the

wise about Thai police operations and the importance of face saving. :-)

[whitemouse]

Anyone who looks like that should be deported as a matter of course.

I have always enjoyed your posts, K K, for several years.

But now you propose a man should be deported because you disaprove what a man looks like.

Pattaya is a cool place because of people like this guy. Pattaya is a colourful place, despite basically being a large retirement home. This man dresses as he pleases, lives his life as he likes. People such as him make us Pattaya, a town that has pulse, and not a village in north east.

He is the opposite of retired postman from Perth, too scared to even make an eye contact with fellow foreigner in Pattaya!

This thread has 2 opposing views, people who are not men enough to admit that Sharky is a true chracter, his past be what it may or may not be.

The haters here hate everybody and everything, Sharky just makes extremly attractive target. These commentets are oozing of bitterness about being nobody, never been anybody, and NEVER becoming anybody.

Sad, lonely, scared retirees in a foreign land, where we are never loved, nor welcomed!

Expats with no options, no money to move back and enjoy remaining years in homeland, because the property here cant be sold, and even if sold, it wont buy anything in Western Europe, USA. To these people Sharky is a poster boy, who to direct their suppressed anger at.

Other group of commenters see this as outrageous, and typical lack of justice in this country. They admire Sharky for simply being aman making an effort, being a man to have guts to stand up to the system, alltho ill advised. This is something un heard of here, this simply does not happen here. This is huge! Wont end well, but thats what makes me admire this man even more! I wouldn't dare, of this Im sure.

But you, K K top them all, you would deport the man cos you do not aprove his looks. He isnt my type either, but issue here is corruption, lawlesness, and as foreigners being at complete mercy of that corrupt system. This is not about what the man looks like.

Sad!

Face saving way out?

Can someone who understands Thai culture more than me explain this? Why didn't they just arrest Sharky? They wouldn't lose face by arresting him, so what do they get out of this photo op? I see Sharky has saved some face, but I don't see how the Pattaya police benefit.

I'm confused.

Arrest him for what?

If he did not have over 100 000 followers and access to international media, they probably would have done it, but with all the spotlight he is capable of bringing, its too hard.

However i do believe some gold and cash would be recovered shortly, again for the same reason of face saving and to show how honest and hard working police really are.

There's no rule of law in Thailand--I'm sure they could arrest him for anything they want.

But I think you're right--Sharky made a loud ruckus and it became impossible to brush him under the rug. Seriously, say what you want about this guy, but he definitely is street smart.

[JoeBlowFromUSA]

Face saving way out?

A bunch of undercover Thai cops robbed him and tried to set him up for drugs.

Not many of us would survive that situation.

Sharky is my hero now.

Hopefully there are one or two decent cops that will assist him now and clean out the criminals at Soi 9 Police Station.

Doubtful but we can hope.

he also seems to know who some of the posters here are too, and is posting their faces on his facbook page

I don't understand, what is his purpose in doing that ?

[jackvale]

He did not get his money or gold back and told to shut up. Seems like he got majorly owned this month!

[jacko45k]

I saw an interview on TV here between him and a well known local media guy. (Not sure I can mention who here.......)

Wasn't really sure what to make of it.

This Sharky fellow came across as mostly reasonable.

I agree with this comment about the haters on this forum. They should not be published as they are inhuman, judgemental bigots who are driven mad by any kind of unorthodoxy even a bit of harmless drugs use. Do these horrible people go to the TV bar in Soi 7? Why do the forum admin staff let them publish their vile, anti freedom, anti fun, anti life neo nazi rants? How can you possibly open a bar and expect people to go there if these loathsome haters will be there?

I agree about the haters. The hate filled anti-life, anti-fun, anti- thai, anti-girl, anti-drug crowd do a disservice to this forum and certainly put me off going to the TV bar in Bangkok. They seem to be a bitterly vile crowd of losers and want us to feel the same.

You are being obtuse. I do not revel in the pain or misfortune of other people. I do not create vindictive comments about those who have had problems with the law. I do not ask for fun activities to be punished or banned. I do not preach hatred or contempt of Thais or Thailand. I do not always side with bullying authoritarianism. I do not knee jerk react with pleasure to the victims of petty law practised by corrupt officials. There are far too many on this forum whose self hatred is projected on to the world around them which happens to be Thailand. They are the bottom feeders inhabiting the crass headlines of the gutter press or perhaps they were just bullied at school.

Yeh thats funny

[jonnyramone]

Good to see he's ok now..but I don't think he will get his gold and money back....At the end this what Pattaya is about : money number one. You can be whoever you wanna be and play anything you want to play , a tough guy , mafia man, world kick boxer champion, MMA specialist , Navy seal-SAS special forces commando,...you can even stab an old canadian teacher and run away ...just...you have to pay....And if you don't , they will get your money, in one way or another.
