Its bc he didn't want to return to the nanny state of australia to face other charges relating to another crime. No doubt his chapter is supporting him with a VPN user id to log onto different servers around the world to post photos. It will not be long and they will catch him.

InMyShadow Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Ah, I was wondering why he broke out with only a few weeks left on his sentence.And it's unlikely Bali would seek an extradition, just not worth it Now he is famous in oz and will write a book and there will be another movie where Brad Pitt plays him in the great escape It's all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, wonder where "Dodgy Davidson" gets his cash?? Must have a 'treasure trove' stashed away of 'negotiable items' if part of Bikies Gang... It was probably just some bored henpecked family man writing for the Courier Mail. Brisbane is arguably the most boring city in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
car720 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Do the math. From Bali he wouldn't be daft enough to go to an airport so it's bus and barge to Surabaja where he slips onto the train to Djakarta then a the ferry to the Lion city and is now hiding out in the lower number larongs of Geylang. How he got onto any of the boats without a passport is anyones guess but I would say that is where the Malaysian earned his keep. A few weeks in Geylang to lay low and then off to K.L. where he can get kitted out with legit docs etc........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

".....who actually believe he has fled to Pattaya with the help of an international crime syndicate." It is suspected that he has ties to at least 1 outlaw motorcycle club and I doubt it would be that hard for them to come up with a passport from someone who looks very similar to him as well as whatever cash he needed. Most Westerners would be hard pressed to tell the difference between a Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai or Filipino person. You can expect that a lot of people in SE Asia would have a hard time telling the difference between an Aussie, American, Canadian or Brit. Unless some sharp-eyed IO or cop noticed the tats, he could probably walk around quite openly without too much concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandLOS Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 It's quite funny how they always 'hide out' in Pattaya - the first place cops come looking for them if there is an international warrant out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he only had 2 months left of his sentence in Indonesia - but once that was completed, he was going to be immediately returned to Australia where he faced a very heavy prison sentence for drug-related crimes. However, and as seems likes like - he has ended up in 'Criminal's Paradise' ....Pattaya. He will fit in very nicely here and will be best friends with all the other low-life scum and Thai authorities in next to no time....

nausea Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 He has his fans it seems. "Perth property tycoon James Tee has taken to Facebook in support of international fugitive and Bali jail escapee Shaun Davidson - ‘Well done Rage!!! Haha,’ he posted along with a news story about Davidson’s daring escape, using the fugitive’s nickname." 'He was one of the toughest guys in there': Former cellmate of Australian Kerobokan escapee reveals the runaway was 'well respected' and 'popular with Indonesian ladies who would visit him in jail' (Daily Mail Australia).

peterb17 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 5 hours ago, Kerryd said: No way ! Considering 2 out of every 3 foreigners in Pattaya supposedly are ex-SAS/SBS/Delta/Green Beret/DSG/JTF/Spetznaz elite Airborne Seal Team 007 commandos, how could a criminal expect to hide for long in this city ? Surely all those elite "Operator" types would have him corralled and handed to the police in no time flat ! I think this kind of speculation is harmful to Pattaya's reputation and someone should invoke Article 69 to shut it down so we can go back to stories about raids on adult establishments that have no effect. How else are we going to learn about all the fun places that exist in this city ?? That's weird- I probably know at least 150 people here in Pattaya - therefore by your logic 100 would be ex SAS etc ( non are) very strange - I just cannot think of an explanation for that bizarre anomaly.

One that's been going around for probably a decade or more (that I know of). Meanwhile, I just grabbed my phone and "Checked In" on Facebook, in Berlin. Oh, wait - apparently I'm in Rio de Janeiro now !! So yes, it is easy for someone to "Check In" from multiple places around the world while sitting at home (like the escaped convict Davidson apparently did). Doesn't mean the guy is in Pattaya but we do have a large, diverse expat population in addition to the large number of tourists the rotate in/out of the city daily, making it easy for another "farang face" to blend in. Of course he could also be in Cambodia or halfway around the world by now. Or sitting on the bar stool next to you right now............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
