I reckon the death penalty will be on the table in this case. And while I am generally not in favour of it, in this case I really think it is warranted.

I can't believe there's a picture of her spunk encrusted leggings. This is the weirdest story I've read in a month of Sundays. Good for her for dragging this swine out into the light instead of letting him hide behind 'discretion'. Full marks to the crew's handling of the situation.

Being against the situation in Gaza does not give anyone the right to go assaulting random Israelis. Please prosecute and deport and ban the individual from the country. And it's no one's business where anyone is from. People should not be responding to random strangers asking where you are from.

"biggest problem for foreigners who struggle in Thailand is money." Wow. What insight this person has. 😄

Ha ha, that's the way, plead ignorance. Smart enough to property develop, not smart enough to know basics laws 😂

This is a concept known as blowback, they belong to a nationality that's extremely unpopular these days and there are ramifications. When you come from a nation where the majority of the population serves in the army and commits atrocities against a defenseless civilian population including women and children, there's bound to be some blowback. This appears to be a private part and all owners have the right to refuse admission to anybody they like.

Why would anyone in their right mind want to travel to the USA now?

It seems to be that Jacob is a racist and a pig and a snowflake, and simply could not handle the idea of a business owner supporting the Palestinian people. Very typical of a lot of Israelis who tend to be quite provincial in their outlook and very intolerant of people who don't obey their country's narrative. I'm a Jew and I support the Palestinian cause, and would be very proud to display their flag. Jacob needs to get a life and stop being a weak and pathetic victim.

Nothing says relaxing holiday like a bloke with a microphone asking if you’re having FUN every 30 seconds. 😂

A lifetime of rice soup, coming up. Please, no prisoner exchange or amnesty let him rot in the Bangkok Hilton.

Literally every man and his dog knew the rules. Don't act stupid.

Whilst, assuming guilty, he certainly deserves punishment but it would be interesting to learn about the legal processes that ended up with the fine and jail sentence within a matter of 48 hours.

What is the point of this speculation. Nobody knows anything now other than 7 are tragically dead, and many wounded including at least one critically. No reason at all for speculation at a time like this.

'In the news today, a weird foreigner was spotted raging at clouds........ hospital staff subdued him and took him off to the local loony bin....'

Trump is the national emergency.

honor among thieves eh? all parties knew exactly what they were up to. anyway, ignorance is not a legal defense.

I am American and I am Jewish. While i draw a distinction between individuals and government, I can't get too upset about this. Israelis can't support or toleerate their government practicing apartheid and genocide and expect to be welcome all over the world.

Indeed, and don't forget the scamming as just happened for example in Hua Hin with expats who thought that they were allowed to bought a house.. It are just as in the article some real stories, which makes Thailand a non go tourist destination for many people. There is also a hunt for wrongdoing on foreigners, as many are fined for vaping, driving without an helmet or driving license on a motorbike, etc while the local population is being left alone... Corruption and a failing institution to enforce the laws are the cause of it. It is not not bashing but just reality, sadly enough

"Ms Pimpaporn said cabin crew questioned Mr Ali, initially in Arabic, and that he first denied the allegation before admitting his conduct. She said he cried, knelt and asked for forgiveness, while several people believed to be travelling with him as part of a Pakistani tour group also asked her to let him go." I have an immediate dislike for this Pakistani group. This group feels their religion is superior and above the law. They do not respect the rights of the Thai.

the best thing would be to stay in your home country and try to fight the humanitarian catastrophe and war crimes in gaza, for which your government bears responsibility ... if you need a holiday, just go to the usa ... maga will be happy to have you there ...

Iran is bypassing Trump and negotiating directly with Oman to secure a commercial shipping route. They will soon negotiate with the other GCC countries and even EU to find common grounds. Iran rejecting direct talks with USA as they don't trust Trump. No countries will ever trust Trump's USA.

Wow, these are some wrong ones. You would not expect such danger just south of Pattaya. It is not safe to be out at night around there! Locked up until their dying day I hope!

You damn antisemite, I'll welcome the jews anytime.

As one hooker said to me, "It doesn't matter how rich, intelligent or powerful a man is, if you learn to tickle his balls the right way, he'll do whatever you want" And I think she's right about most white western men who have been deprived of frequent sex most of their lives.

Foreign idiots like this are becoming a real problem. With more stories of foreigners behaving badly and actually threatening or assaulting Thais, it will make more Thais look at us with suspicion. As such, idiots like this need to be dealt with quickly and appropriately - and kicking them out of the country really does seem like the best and easiest solution.

In my opinion this is far worse than a few talking youngsters in a BTS. Israelis are claiming territory, which they do in their own country too. But how can it come so far that 1 man has 361 companies...???

Yes, it feels as if the forum is heading down a very Rockyroad.

I've also created an app for young Thai ladies to meet up with gentlemen of a mature age in Pattaya. I've called it Carbon Dating.

If idiots are allowed to put childish stamps and stickers in official passports molehills will become mouintains.

More reason to get rid of Infantino. Association with Trump is the kiss of death.

Sorry, but chasing the fountain of youth at your age is a fool's errand... don't be deluded. However, the hospital/private clinic that sold the dream to just get money should also answer for their misdeeds. Cheap deals have a quality all of their own... stop chasing impossible things deluded grandma.

None of what you wrote makes any sense...maybe a clarification!

Disclaimer: I lived in the US for over ten years. I am Saudi Arabian and have travelled to Asia, the majority of Western Europe (UK, NL, PL, FR, ES.. etc). I can’t help but notice that I find it pleasant running into Americans because it’s next to impossible not to bond in less than 3 minutes. This doesn’t mean other cultures are bad or unwelcoming, but it is always consistently Americans that are always open to help, small-talk, joke around even when abroad. As an extrovert, I find that extremely valuable.

Trump: You <deleted> Jews are <deleted> up my Jews abilities to grift if I can't win in the election in November. You're going to have to do what I sa... Netanyahu: [puts Mossad folder on table labeled "Trump Epstein Kompromat" ] Trump: Whatever you want Bebe.

Well, that's what happened during their Gaza revenge war already by killing around 70.000 people. That's around 40 per day. This murder state should be sanctioned by the world, even US

It’s time to get grandpa a warm milk and ship him off to pasture….we have had enough of him and his minions.the midterms are coming soon and we will muzzle this idiot.

13 hours, 32,540 baht, multiple rounds for the entire bar… and then the final straw was apparently being told “no” by the girl. 😂 That’s not a bar bill. That’s 13 hours of very expensive emotional investment.

What is that? I think it's a modern word for losers. No job at home Not eager to work daily 8-5 No education No money Scrap the DTV visa for all of them❗

"...officers would first seek mediation between the parties, which he described as normal procedure..." Here's a cultural lesson for foreigners! What Ms Pimpaporn describes fits multiple Thai Penal Code offences, including: Section 278 / 279 — indecent acts without consent Section 276 — sexual assault (depending on evidence) Section 282 — obscene acts in public Section 391 — causing humiliation or distress These are criminal offences, not civil disputes. In most countries criminal offences belong to the state, not the victim. Police must investigate. Prosecution proceeds regardless of victim preference. And victims cannot “drop charges”. In Thailand, criminal offences technically belong to the state, but in practice, police treat many offences as victim‑driven. If the victim wants compensation as Ms Pimpaporn has indicated, police often adjust their behaviour accordingly. While this is not how the law is written, it’s how the system functions! And this is why Lt Col Konkong would say “mediation is normal procedure”. It's also why “denied entry” was used instead of "arrested", it keeps the suspect in Thailand just long enough for mediation, but not long enough to require remand hearings.

The wind stopped blowing so he was silenced? I would have thought that if Trump was speaking then the resultant hot air alone would have been more than adequate to power the TV broadcast!

Massive lost for Thailand, look at all those Thais holding their heads each side of him 'not another farang 'digital creator'

Comedy gold this one from Senator Kelly

It says an awful lot about contemporary society that young people with virtually nothing to say can create a YouTube or Tiktok channel and get tens of thousands of followers. In some cases hundreds of thousands. I have a friend who's a "YouTube influencer" and creates the most dull videos about changing the oil in his bike, and eating in a new restaurant and other incredibly inane and super uninteresting topics. And he has tens of thousands of "followers". It is certainly a bizarre world that we live in these days, and it seems to me that the standards are lower than ever.

Notice it's the foreigners being arrested - while the Thais are only being "summoned". But it's NOT possible for a foreigner to set up a nominee company by themselves and arrange all the paperwork (to set up the company and do the balance sheets and meeting reports), then purchase a property and have it legally registered. But the people who actually do all that are NOT the ones being investigated for some reason. Imagine if you go into a shop on a Sunday and buy a beer and when you step out of the shop the police arrest YOU because there is a ban on alcohol sales that day. But they don't even look at the shop owner that sold you the beer and should have known they weren't allowed to. Just like all those companies that specialize in setting up nominee companies for foreigners specifically so they can (illegally) buy "land". They KNOW it's illegal, do it anyways, and apparently the police just ignore it and arrest the foreigners instead. Seems a bit hokey to me.

A ladyboy from Saudi. Let that soak in. The trans people in Saudi Arabia are routinely killed. I feel sorry for this person, but this is what the "religion of peace" does. And they will go international to do it to save face.

What a frigging pitiful person we have a potus. Maybe do another nationwide tv speech and show us all the nonexistent evidence against the "vandals" like you did with the non existent rigged election "evidence".....since the elections are all rigged how can it be possible that repubs control the house, senate, white house? All that pool vandalism caused by your sad awarding of no bid contracts to your mar a largo incompetent buddies. Pathetic Liar.

The Thai woman is making things worse by her comments. She is badmouthed and the words she is using are not decent at all. Apparently she is the only one who has a problem with the tourists, all others are watching their phone. Sadly the Thai woman has no idea that in Thailand they maybe don't peak loudly in the BTS but everywhere you go they do. Just watch TV and see in shows how they screams, in soaps and even the news. a few houses from me there is a family and one of the daughter and her father speaks so loudly every time that we can hear word by word what they are talking about. You can't expect that tourists know everything from a country, so she can't blame them. The Thai woman must be ashamed that people who come on holiday, spend their money here and have fun are being treated like this. There is no law that states that loud speaking in a BTS train forbids. So there is no need to say shall we call the police..This is damaging Thailand much more than she knows, Thailand means a free country, but it seems more and more that there is no freedom at all. Everything is controlled

You are correct, its not just Thai's they disrespect, its everyone else who is not of their ilk!

Yeah, all those tv appearances that he made emphasizing the seriousness of the outbreak were totally fabricated. I mean dude, Fauci was on tv nearly every day talking about Covid, how could he be hiding it? Like him or not, he wasn’t hiding it in any way shape or form. Most of the criticism that he gets is that he overplayed the seriousness

Old habits die hard !
