Cool T-shirts. These would make great souvenirs of someone's trip to Thailand. Any of the street vendors selling them?

Brilliant idea once you're out of the country but believe me, you wouldn't want to wear a t-shirt that said 'phuu tong kak' on the streets of Thailand.

None caught in Pattaya,the usual bolt hole for

International criminals.Why are the Chinese allowed

to wear face masks to hide their identity?

What are the odds of these guys all having the same T-shirts? It must have made it easy for the police to find them all.

 

That and the dark glasses.

The guy who raped his own daughter is particularly odious.

Thai embassies and consulates should have access to and be able to search the criminal records of every farang who applies for a visa.

Way too many scummy farang paedophiles slipping through the net

Yes, there are 7 people wearing 7 yellow shirts and 7 different people listed in the article.  You can not read the first few pages of a cookbook and be a master chef.

I count seven ! Did someone fail basic maths?

 

 

No, it says seven, it's the thread introduction that is misleading as it says 6, whilst the actual headline is 7.  Someone failed the proof reading course.

Why?

 

If you think Thais will take any form of retribution you are misguided.

 

Thais in all these prisons DO NOT CARE what sentence has been committed and that includes rape, kiddy fiddling and so forth. It is laughable that so many clueless people on here recycle the same old ' chestnuts '  as " Wait till they get him in a Thai jail, Wait till he gets raped etc etc ' It VERY rarely happens unless the foreigner is a youngster, and therefore, it has nothing to do with the crime he committed. Thais are way too busy in their own corrupt little world in there to be bothered unless the foreigner is a nuisance, loudmouth or disturbs them directly.

 

They care only if the foreigner has enough money in his pocket in jail to buy black market phones, play black market gambling, and buy black market goods such as food and other items.

 

Also, they wait and see if he is a mug and they can ' tap him up ' for things such as cigarettes, washing powder, and other items Thais cannot afford or don't have the money for; as it has all been spent on drugs!

This post is probably very accurate .  

Addirionally , about 20 years ago rape in prison was punishable by death. I don't know if it still is .   I was a Thai government  guest touring the prisons (not an inmate ). I always assumed they showed me only the best and cleanest facilities .

The story comes from Thai PBS, not TV.
TV does not change quotes from outside news agencies.

 

 

Well, it seems that someone has changed something as the headline now states 'seven' and not 'six' anymore.

Is it not that 6 are wanted by their own governments and the Frenchman was arrested because of an offence in Thailand?

No That was for France to start him on his 15 year French sentence.

Well details missing, or not, for him, there are 7 in the picture.  LOS Hub of quality Asian journalism (and proof reading.)

...the problem is they publish this in the Thai papers.....

 

...and this feeds the fire of racism and resentment against us...

 

..giving them an excuse to do what they please to us....

 

...and pretend that all criminals are non-Thais....
