Yes, it applies both ways.
Many foreigners too abuse Thai children. It seems, in the present day paedophiles are proliferating uncontrollably. Majority of them are the elderly - disgusting indeed.
Strict laws should be enforced IMHO.
No one can blame one nationality, if he/she cares to find the statistics.
I really doubt the presence of numerous foreign paedophiles in Thailand now. There may be a few operating underground but nothing like was the case twenty to thirty years ago. Times have changed. You say you have some statistics - what do they suggest?

How would you know ?.... the statement implies you have experience in the matter, perhaps from a law enforcement perspective ??
I was a youth worker/student welfare officer and have heard and read many accounts from children who have been sexually assaulted. With young kids and even teenagers, this kind of reaction is the norm - the child doesn't understand what is happening and the perpetrator is a more powerful adult.

So I would find it normal that she walks back 10m to get the key.
Also, a 7 y old boy can scream loud enough to be heard at 10m.
Kids don't generally scream when sexually assaulted. They freeze.

Despite the fact he was wasted on alcohol not weed when he rested in front of the cannabis shop, marijuana will take the rap yet again.

No they do not that in Thailand, rarely a drug dealer will get life, in fact they can now carry 2 class A drugs, Yabba, with no conviction, and they tend to try and re-hab addicts now.
This is a good thing as the jails were overflowing with people serving long stretches for drug use and dealing. It's a more enlightened approach to try and rehabilitate. Furthermore, drug dealing has no relevance to this affair, where perfectly legal alcohol is the cause of death.

Have lived in Vietnam, and they are by far the dumbest drivers I have ever seen.
I feel sorry for my Vietnamese friends, the ones that are smart, but the maxim "Show me how you drive, I tell you what kind of moron you are" confirms itself each time!
Thailand is nothing compared to there, which makes me wonder how come Thailand has road death record when Vietnam is even more dangerous.
Thailand actually has more fatalities per head of population. Not by much, but it's three spots ahead of Vietnam in world rankings.

If you truly believe that and are not just saying it in jest then I can readily assume you yourself are not and have never been a cannabis user.

We need more of this free living type. Has the Thai government considered giving 90 day visas to these people?

Stock up on razor blades. Quality dental floss and electric toothbrushes and spare brushes all but unavailable here. These are the sorts of things you could bring a supply of to last several years.
Can anyone explain why tailoring is no longer cheap or good here?

Just now, hotchilli said:Like I said, it' more than just the shooting.
I had read before that many were deterred by that shooting. I don't see why it would evenly remotely figure in the minds of anyone planning a trip to Thailand.

3 minutes ago, hotchilli said:Yeah okay.... nothing is guaranteed in Thailand.
Plus, it's not just the shock of deaths in Thailand, either through shootings, road accidents, drownings etc etc
it's also the threat of kidnapping and extortion.
And not forgetting China had huge domestic economic troubles back home which is affecting would-be tourism.
Thailand has lost it's appeal to the Chinese market
If the indiscriminate shooting of a Chinese tourist is enough to deter a whole population of people away, how are they going to cope with fear if they find themselves thrust in a war situation? Seems that when courage was dished out, these people missed out. They have no trouble instilling fear prior to killing into the 10 to 20 million dogs and cats that grace their dinner tables each year. I'd have though an isolated shooting by a crazed kid would be water off the back for mainland Chinese.

Who knows how Thai law works.
I do know that in US federal laws, if you pull a runner after posting bail, there is no Statute of Limitations. You could be found 20-years later and still be tried for that crime.
If this applied in Thailand, than the charges against the Red Bull killer would not have been dismissed due to the application of the statute of limitations.

I expect that a brown envelope was utilised at the time.
Normally in those situations the identities and evidence are altered or lost. The guy probably figured that if no attempt to arrest him overseas had occurred that he was safe.

Just now, Shocked farang said:Your point of view is from a western perspective, Thais are not exactly western and most of them could care less about the Ukraine war plus in their minds Russ are just " farangs" like all the other light skinned people who visit Thailand.
Which highlights one of the major shortcomings of the Thai political system - lack of a moral compass.

I can. Why should the Russians get the extension to 90 days and not other nationalities? Personally I can't think of a nationality less deserving of favoured treatment.

Give the most to the least deserving. That's pretty much how third world countries operate.

Naked in the store? Obviously had no thought of covering his tracks or preparing to lie when confronted. Back in the old days, Thai males would quite openly give a young boy a quick fiddle, but didn't ask for reciprocation or divest themselves of their clothes. Mum is going to punch a pretty big hole in her trip if she wants to pursue this guy in court,

I told him don't rat, don't talk to them, just do your business and leave, be nice and walk away from them.
Kids as young as 8 smoking Bongs in the streets of Chon Buri, I saw this coming as did many, and children are now doped up and it's going to get worse.
Kids as young as 8 smoking bongs in the streets! Errant nonsense.
How can a school fine students 10000 baht?! And given the pungency of marijuana smoke, how can students get away with smoking in the toilets? Why would students risk a 10000 baht fine when they could so easily be caught by a vigilant teacher on yard duty? (If there is little risk of being detected, your kid doesn't go to a school with good teacher supervision).

Try doing a bit of homework:
'The Thailand embassy and the police have given us information that Darnel Kimbia jumped off a building on the 7th of September 2023 while he was travelling in Thailand'.

Why should we do homework? I would have expected to find this information in the article.

I would suggest he has mental health issues rather than blaming marijuana. Marijuana is rarely spiked, particularly in Thailand where it's legal. Perhaps he is into ice which would be far more likely to lead to naked outdoor antics.
