What! A British handbag thief in Thailand. No way! According to the Brits, the only farangs in the LOS who steal, are "the blacks", as reported by several Thai bar-girls, I've met. 

 

      Not a True Brit ,  surname  Antonio ..  

   Probably a  immigrant on benies ,  in  need of a well deserved  holiday  in LOS .

     set him free and  allow him to return  to his beloved UK,   for counselling etc .

foreigners tend to get stiffer fines for some reason. something to do with a phenomenon called dual pricing.

 

Wealthier people get stiffer fines in Thailand regardless of race. They are also expected to pay more compensation. In return they get shorter prison terms.

 

It's pretty fair really, a 400 baht traffic fine might be significant to a poor local but to rich thais and westerners it is alone not really a deterant. On the other hand a 30 day sentence in prison is not really a deterant for someone who lives in a room as small as the cell but it is to a wealthy Thai and most westerners.

Any failing by the Brits is totally eclipsed by the good they have done and continue to do whenever the need arises.

 

      REALLY ,   what good,   have the Brit,  white Gods  done , ?

 Do you mean plundering , the  colonies,  in  return for the so called gift of, 

    commercialism /capitalism .

     Aka, financial gain .

The British saved the world from German domination. I think that may be enough

Really ?

 

I thought it was the Americans.

 

And not saved of German but to the Russian Red Army who were winning on East front. 

 

This shows that the story is different depending on where you were born.

 

And for this indelicate English man, do not count on me to throw a stone. Of course, this gesture was not very smart but there was no violence neither premeditation nor misleading and therefore the offense remains minor.

My reply was in response to some unsavory posts that were later purged. Yours will presumably suffer the same fate, taking my earlier one with it. In the meantime you might find this useful:

No definitely not the Americans , they came in late again after pearl harbour. If Britain had not have acted Europe would have fallen then Germany and Japan, would have won wherever they wanted.

 

of course America helped win the war with the Russians and allied. Forces

I think that was the Russians and Americans, the Brits kept the camp fires going.

We gave the natives Christianity, whether they wanted it or not (they didn't)
