Isn’t lashing used in Singapore for spitting on the street? I heard it’s considered socially acceptable for Chinese to spit on the floor in restaurants and the Chinese tourists are given a booklet for how they should conduct themselves while traveling in Thailand. (That’s the rumor I’ve heard.) Maybe some people just never learn to behave with socially responsible civic standards? Spitting on the floor in restaurants were done on packed earth single storey building in rural areas.... not on carpeted floor of some upmarket restaurants.

That said, it may occur to Thai lawmakers to enshrine the blatant disparity in punishment for minor misdemeanours, which under the present laws is not explicit, into two separate codes, one for Thais (a rap on the knuckles, a shamefaced insincere apology) and one for foreigners (a stiff fine, a threat of gaol, a terrifying ordeal in a foreign language ). That way, visitors to this fair land would have a better grasp of what to expect from the judge in the event of arrest for a drunken, juvenile slip-up. Blatant disparity in punishment are meted out by the judges who are in a better position to evaluate the severity of the offence. Different punishment level for different type of people?

Then again maybe they won't care. It will be reported world wide anyway, that's for sure. Two years supended prison sentence plus thousands of dollars in fines for mere graffiti - pathetic! Perhaps next spray paint holiday will be the Middle East. Instead of 100,000baht fine, the punishment would be 100 lashes with cane. Bad behavior is bad behavior.

No, wrong. I was in a carpeted cinema in Singapore years ago where the Chinese were constantly spitting on the floor during the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geriatrickid Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 4 hours ago, ukrules said: Only the backwards ones. Ahh, so in a non backwards country it is acceptable to vandalize property? Perhaps if vandals were dealt with more harshly, many western cities would not be blighted by vandalism and graffiti. We are constantly told not to take the law into our own hands and to allow the justice system to deal with crimes like this. Unfortunately, the system usually does not respond, and people grow frustrated and eventually blow a gasket or turn to authoritarian figures for relief. People have a right to live in an environment where their property will not be vandalized by losers. I would have given these idiots a broom and garbage can and told them to go and clean up some of the popular tourist spots where their kind toss their cigarette butts and garbage. A week or so of cleaning would have taught a valuable lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously doubt anyone planning a holiday researches the record of court sentences for foreign pillocks and compare them to the sentences for local pillocks as part of their decision making process in venue selection. If you have evidence to the contrary I bow to your superior knowledge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my many visits to Chiang Mai, I always stay near the wall. So what if it is not original, I love the sight and symbolic nature of that old wall. Shame on any A-hole who would deface it. Hopefully the $4,000 (Canadian) fine that her Mother obviously had to cough up plus all the other expenses that Mother had to bare to keep her ass out of a Thai jail will teach her a lesson about defacing other people's property.

lanng khao Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 A 2 year sentence would be appropriate for the graffiti cretins worldwide, people like Banksy. If they'd dealt with Kilroy in a strict way we probably wouldn't have all this graffiti around today. To me it's far worse than littering and is a sort of sickness. This "lady" should have served her sentence with no reduction, with hard labour thrown in. So should the Scouser, and I'm from that part of the world myself.Birkenhead?Sent from my ARE-AL00 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an easier administrative process also, no more paperwork to BAN. (Sarcasm) I cannot believe some of you guys. If a Thai did this it would be 2,000 baht fine.
