Bluespunk Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) "However, tourist police told the press last night that it was unlikely the couple had been robbed as they had previously told police earlier in the month they had already lost their ATM cards and credit cards. They had also been kicked out of hotels in Kanchanaburi twice this month due to drunken rampages." OK, they are low lifes and probably weren't robbed judging by their past actions, but surely their claims should be investigated before being dismissed. They should have prosecuted for fraud.If that is proven then, yes I agree. Need to investigate first though, eh. Investigate what, exactly? The two Aussies specifically asked not to be taken to the police station. So do you think the police should now try to find them, ask them to file a robbery report, and then investigate the supposed robbery???The bib have basically said they are lying and there was no robbery. They have accused these two of fraud. There is no evidence of this claim as the Australians claim has not been investigated. Unless the bib investigate the alleged robbery they are no position to say it did not take place. Clear enough for you?

cyberfarang Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Interrogate them and if proven to be con artists, lock the pair up. Throw the girl into an all male prison and see if she can con her way out that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomJoad Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Great! This story is a dream for self-loathing foreigners. Perhaps. But it's also true that this kind of scam hurts travelers in the future who might really need the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanukjim Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Time the visas are raised to $1000. I would not have a problem paying that much if it kept out the majority of scum that enters here and that number is in the millions. More pieces of **** . What a pair of scumbags ! How is it that low life scum like this can afford to travel? It's about time airlines increased their airfares, keep people like this back in western Sydney or the back blocks of the Gold Coast where they deserve to be. I agree.I would pay more if it kept the bums out and there are a lot of them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a fool with no ability to think would decide someone was guilty of a crime based on hearsay and unproven accusations. The only way to judge these two is a sober investigation of their claims.

I think the problem should fix itself in due course, they will probably overstay their 30 days and hopefully end being fined and as they won't have the money will be put in a detention center in Bangkok. If they are deported I do like the idea of dropping them in some remote place like Darwin and forcing them to find their own way back to their home city Perth which is thousands of kilometers away. The only obligation of the Government in repatraiation cases is to deliver them to their home country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being stupid has no boundaries. Don't judge the actions of two idiots as indicative of the country. Australia. You are right, being stupid has no boundaries but Australia seems to have it in spades these days, idiots, low lives, grubs, bogans and tool aplenty. I've travelled virtually the entire country and it seems to be pretty much the same story everywhere you go. Australia use to be a good country with hard working decent people, however these days there's a newer selfish lazy scumbag element in town, nothing short of a piece of led between the eyes would fix the problem. I know scum when I see it, perhaps you could call me an expert scum spotter. I use to get paid to deal with them but it seems nobody took my position when I retired and they've been allowed to multiply. Of course, it's not the entire 22 million of them, there are a few decent folk left. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just remove the 'economy' seats out of the aircraft and make it 60% Business class and 40% first class.The scum won't be able to afford the airfares and I won't have to see the visual pollution as I move between the airport lounge and the aircraft! You seem to assume that poor or low-income people are scum ... and that there are no scum people who can afford business- and first-class seats. Get over yourself. Not at all, I acknowledge that the are decent folk that ride economy, let's just call them collateral damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why take them all the way to Darwin when they could be dropped into the water just north of Darwin and if they're lucky they might make shore as croc shiiiiit.

OOLEEBER Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Where does Drongo come from?......Oz as well? A Drongo is actually a stupid bird. But it now means a stupid person. Drongo is a bird but the usage for people comes from a racehorse named Drongo ( 23 starts, never placed). IE, a no-hoper. Yes I read similar a few years ago. Might have said it placed last in every race and that gave rise to the saying "Bloody Drongo". Sounds great with an Aussie accent. Especially a Bogan one.
