Brit refused entry to Thailand after ripping out passport pages to use as toilet paper

[SoFarAndNear]

This woman bust be a total moron to think for a moment that a torn passport will be ok to use to enter any country,

or that her refusal entry stamp is only in her passport and not in the immigration's data bank....

people like her should stay home with such diminished brain capacity or she will hurt herself.....

You are right. Travel around the world should only brained privileged people. Not just for hairdresser, right?

Well you know there are people who don't frequently traveling around the world and does't know about the importance of their passport.

[tonyjimmac]

Quite right too... She should think herself lucky to have got off so lightly. Her passport is NOT her property but that of Her Majesty's government and as such ultimately the property of the Queen herself. In Thailand any insult, which this most certainly was, to ANY royalty can, and has been, interpreted as 'lese majeste', which under Article 22 of Thai law is punishable by up to five years for each offence. That could I suppose, given the Thai courts' propensity for literal interpretation, have meant five years for each page!

dont know about you lot, but i would not have minded a chance to spend 24 hours with her. shes pretty damn cute.

Somewhat questionable personal habits, when it comes to hygiene though?

[arrowsdawdle]

Sounds like she could have grounds for a defamacation lawsuit.

[tigermonkey]

She is going to apply for an "emergency passport". Then she will use this to return to Thailand, and carry on to work in Australia for a year. An emergency passport is just that. It only allows the holder to get home.

I believe she means to get an expedited passport. She will be somewhat slowed down by the affidavit which she will need to file, regarding what happened to her previous passport. Of course, they could also charge her with wilful destruction of crown property, and even deny her a hew passport..

Nice to know that she can afford to buy another ticket to Thailand, which could be expensive on short notice.

All in all --- yes it sounds like a pile of BS

I don't know what to say ............

I do! Those brittish girls drink too much! They have a serious alcohol problem and that causes them to get into trouble whereever they go.

And of course, girls from other countries never ever drink too much, do drugs, go to the wild parties here, or misbehave in anyway.

In fact you no doubt think all the people from your country so perfect - why did you leave?

My homecountry has more wild parties then the UK, they all come over for a partyweekend. And our girls don't drink that much and have better manners.

Just look at Geordie shore and do i have to say more?

[alex8912]

Oh another Classic Brit story. They get stranger by the week. I wonder if she was coming to visit the hi so British couple In Pattaya who burnt parts of their house down twice in a week while drunk.

[Thian]

I have been refused entry to a Southeast Asian country (not Thailand).

I was held in small room with friendly police officers who smoked constantly and chatted but mostly left me to just sit there and read a book.

When I was escorted to the plane, which was the next flight on the carrier I had booked the return portion of my ticket. I had arrived at 11 am and the return flight was 5:45 pm, so it was a long wait. They made no attempt to be quiet about it. One fully suited on the left and right, although they did not hand cuff me or hold my arms. It caught a lot of attention. We were on the walk when they realized the flight was delayed 15 minutes. So we stopped in the Members Lounge of the Airline I ate a bit of the food and had a coffee. They were with me the whole time. I stopped at the mens room to comb my hair and primp a bit. People were taking pictures ! Thought I might see some business acquaintances in the biz lounge, but not so lucky.

They walked me through all security - no waiting!

Waited with me at the boarding gate for the 5 minutes and then watched me walk down the ramp.

Why?

Because my passport had added pages and they determined my passport "had been altered" and this was an offense. It had been altered by my Embassy.

And who paid for all the damage done to you if the passport was totally legal?

Yeah right. Do you think a country would say "oh sorry, we should've realized your country allows additional pages to be added to their passports by their Embassy. Very sorry, let us reimburse you".

They make a decision and you live with the consequences. That's how it is. I doubt his own country would be particularly interested other than putting a note on their website to warn other travelers.

Well i would claim it at my travelinsurance and let them sue the embassy. After all it's not his fault.

Decent countries know how to make good passports, also i never heard of add extra pages officially...guess my country doesn't do that, they sell you a new passport with extra pages.

[chickenslegs]

the ass wipe is a cover for something completely more serious....I mean nobody can possibly be that stupid or that drunk or both...

A sane albeit drunk person would take of undies and use those for wiping, then dispose the undies and continue without them.

The young lady from Glasgow may not have been wearing undies.

[evadgib]

This smacks of something that has been artificially manufactured to divert attention away from the more pressing issues relating to British Tourists in Thailand....

[Sooo Upto Me]

a canny scot girl i canna believe it !

walking from bar to bar ,who don't have toilets ,

holes in this everywhere you look,

Where does it says she's Scottish? She flew to Glasgow but her home is in Lake District Cumbria which is NW England.

Mind u they are all drunkens north of Watford. :-)

[never me]

Another quality tourist lost.

[bannork]

Sounds like she could have grounds for a defamacation lawsuit.

Surely you mean a defecation lawsuit?

[scorecard]

I remember many years ago a friend of mine ripped the middle pages out of his passport to use as a scoresheet for a game of cards. Although bloody stupid, you could get away with thing like that in the early 80s, before passport controls became more sophisticated and serious.

Fast forward to 2016 and he'd get a double whammy in Thailand: one for the missing passport pages and one for "gambling" with playing cards.

An example, many years back I was in the arriving line at immigration in Singapore. In front of me a family with several children. The seated immigration officer called her supervisor, who said (loud enough so others could hear) the photos of your children are way too old and out of date. The family were asked if they had other acceptable photo IDs, and they did. The senior immigration officer said (all very pleasant) they could enter but she also announced she would take their passports to her office and put a big stamp that the childrens' passports were not to be accepted again, but with new passports with up to date photos they could enter without question.

[little mary sunshine]

Good for the Thai Officials. Returned her drunk

Ass back to the U.K. Enough sorry, drunk Brits

In Thailand already.

[Morakot]

OK, so embarrassed about it but happy to tell the whole world via ITV?

Hope Her Britannic Majesty will not find out what was done to this passports...

[Blue Muton]

Naahh... She was not that drunk, or else she would have used those pound notes instead...

She's from England, where pound notes were discontinued over thirty years ago. Do keep up!

[chuang]

Only morons would believe it.... ..she should get a new one from the iranian Dr.

[Ks45672]

Was the butt hose not good enough for her??

Some people live to dry it off...... Ya know..

[Bluespunk]

Western women are discussing .

Discussing what?

This story?

[harrry]

I read it that she was refused entry from thailand and sent back to her port of embarkation, Dubai.

frm here she was deported to the UK and possibly if considered a security risk guarded maybe at UK government expense as she did not have a valid passport on arivval to Dubai as it was damaged..

Best thing you could do with a British passport!!

[Khon Kaen Dave]

Thats literally taking the piss!

[farcanell]

But,is she not one of those quality tourists Thailand is looking for.

regards Worgeordie

Any tourist is a quality tourist, at the moment.

What amazes me is that.... Lmao... It all amazes me!

[sawadee1947]

well, that happens when you don't wear knickers. Then you have to use your passport after defacation

[trogers]

well, that happens when you don't wear knickers. Then you have to use your passport after defacation

She needs a 6-month stay in central India...

[Ulic]

I am impressed Thailand was the first country to act correctly. You cannot use a passport

with pages removed. They are numbered for that reason.

[strabel23]

I wonder if she was a natural blonde that dyed her hair a different color? hmmmmm..........

[sawadee1947]

yes, I know. That is why Indians shake hands (or eat) only with the right....the clean one.....
