Crossy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 just watched it on your reco more tedious than tenuous No warranty implied or inferred Not nearly so many "colourful" characters as the Bangkok version. Only a 3cm gall stone. And a box with a live tiger that's not eaten for hours, labelled "This animal bites" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketboybkk Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I saw it. Didn't say why he was deported. Not as good at the BBC airport in the 90's Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satcommlee Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Wouldn't cross anyones mind that someone on here may know the guy and be wondering what has happened to him. He did say his only friends were in Thailand.. 3 weeks to get a hostel and jobseekers allowance.... sobering thought for anyone who arrives under similar circumstances.. Except he was lucky! He was deported so got access to additional support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketboybkk Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Wouldn't cross anyones mind that someone on here may know the guy and be wondering what has happened to him. Yeah, I can tell you exactly what's happened to him. He got booted out of Thailand, got a FREE flight back to LHR. Spent 2 weeks living for FREE in the airport being given FREE food & drink, He was given advice & FREE help by the airport and then got given a FREE hostel bed so he could get FREE benefits after being out of the UK for 11 years, not paying into society and now living off tax payers, That's what's happened to him And The British Empire used to rule the world.

Having all your worldlies inThailand is just plain dumb unless you've got P.R. or citizenship. Imagine having to rely on a paid girlfriend to liquidate your assets. "Sorry dahleeeen.
