The guys actions in the video does look as if he's got a few psychological issues. Whats the answer though?

 

I question whether locking this guy in a Thai jail might finish him off and almost be a death penalty. I'm quite sure petty theft doesn't justify that when mentally incapable. 

 

He should be deported and offered psychiatric treatment in the country of origin and than locked up in a jail that's not in Thailand.

Sorry but come on Colin, Shaming him on here is one thing, but Channel 7 news, for a petty theft from a convivence store! I am starting to think there is a media campaign to make all foreigner's as (x-ray) outlaw foreigner's! in this case and many others minus the x-ray, quite a few are falling in their laps.  If this kind of media attention continues the normal Thai on the street will hate the site of us! There was a gold shop robbery and a 200k meth pill bust that was mentioned as an encore! 

this would never make the news back home.

What a nice array of aggressiveness and violence in many of your comments ...

First, do u know this guy? maybe he is insane or not responsible for his acts?

 

There are so many narrow minded people on this site, if it was left up to some of their comments not just on this issue but many, all foreigner's in Thailand caught for the most stupid acts should be subjected to at least 5 years hard labor in a Thai horror prison, then throw out and blacklisted. This man is obviously not the full ticket, having the opportunity to settle the matter and refusing. However lets give him the benefit of doubt and say he is just coming of a week long bender, and not thinking clearly, it still does not warrant some of the hate fellow foreigners are dishing out in their comments.   Its really very sad ???? Shame on all the haters!

A few days in jail, then a personal escort to the airport with a blacklist stamp in his passport. 

 

Think that's what he actually wants ... he's gone ting tong here, no money to go home never mind buy coffee and sushi... and other luxuries , Lt's and St's and Chang's ...
