A bag or suitcase is ment for the floor - a mobile phone not - should not be that complicated to understand the difference … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bout a wallet then? It is not meant for the floor. If I "find" a wallet that is not mine on the floor, is it okay to pocket it and leave with it?

BMM Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 He is actualy a thief. The police went after him because a german woman repprted the loss of the phone. After finding him they found out he deleted the german girls information from the phone and installed the english language. He never had the intention to bring it to the police.

A children’s rights activist called on the authorities on Saturday to investigate the case of a father allegedly forcing his 13-year-old daughter to have sex with a drug pusher in exchange for marijuana. …residents had reported the incident to certain government agencies, but with no action being taken… Life in the land of smiles...absolutely pathetic.

He can call himself very lucky that it didn't happen in another country where theft is taken more seriously. From an executioner: " I use a special sharp knife, not a sword. When I cut off a hand I cut it from the joint. If it is a leg the authorities specify where it is to be taken off, so I follow that." https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Amputation_in_Islam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorj44 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Has no one in Thailand heard of the presumption of innocence? To spend ten days in gaol as a presumed innocent man is odd justice isn't it? To commit a crime in civilised countries, like Thailand, one must do so with "intention" (to commit the unlawful act). No one, in a civilised country, would go to gaol for unintentionally committing a crime. Perhaps it was because he refused to sign a document admitting guilt? Another odd facet of Thai "justice."

Seems like they are targetting foreigners more and more lately. So we can expect this Thai fisherman to be arrested and imprisoned on the same charges?

Did I miss it? Where are you getting it from?Can’t find the link that I originally read , but here’s a similar one. https://chiangmaione.com/phuping-police-brit-backpacker-was-lying-about-returning-the-phone-he-picked-up-3427 Of course it’s now all a question of who ( or which newspaper) do you believe but just the fact that he took the phone back to his hostel without looking for somewhere to hand it in is suspicious in itself.
