simon43 10,575 #136 Posted November 9 Judging from his comments/posts on his FB page, my learned opinion is that he's more than one short of a beetroot. That being the case, is it's Thailand's duty to assess him and/or treat him? No it is not! Again, my learned opinion is that he should be kicked out the country and blacklisted. Tough on his daughters, but unless he gets himself sorted out with medical help from his own country, then those girls may be in some danger from his activities, (eg physical abuse, sexual abuse, mental abuse etc). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BritManToo 24,078 #137 Posted November 9 22 minutes ago, sambum said: "the man has now been released" For goodness sake - WHY? Because he broke no laws? Swearing in public ..... not against the law. Breaking a mirror ..... bad luck but hardly a crime. If you compare that to Thais who usually get away with stabbing or beating a foreigner and getting a 500bht fine. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or people on this forum repeatedly calling white folk 'farang'? The hatred white men show towards other foreigners on this forum, on the most trivial of excuses, is part of the reason I refuse to have any contact with other Caucasians. The Thai media conspires with the current government to vilify white foreigners at every excuse, make no mistake, you will be next, no matter how much you pretend to not be white. And in other news, two Thai men break into a 72 year old German foreigners house, rob and stab him, and the police aren't all that bothered.

The guy goes to the same places and acts in a totally inappropriate manner by any cultural and social norm. The first thing that comes to my mind is the guy has psychiatric issues and needs help. I've worked with mentally ill individuals as a volunteer in the past. Yep, they can rattle off some pretty vile verbiage which is a symptom of their illness. This guy needs to be transferred over to Suan Prung Psychiatric Hospital for evaluation. It will be sad if Thai media and social media use this as a springboard to foment anti-farang sentiment. Two wrongs don't make a right. Agree except the guy needs to be shipped back to the States. Their problem, not Thailand's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A famous Dutch prison director once said: "there are more crazy people in my prison then there are in the specialisized clinics". And "Crazy" is just a word I use as I do not a better word translated from Dutch to English. Arjen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Vincent 55 #143 Posted November 9 As police took him away, he shouted “put me on YouTube and make me famous”. According to comments posted on Facebook, this wasn’t the first time the man had been abusive and threatened members of the public..... cannot condone this type of behaviour and reading between the lines the American has mental health issues ! i’m surprised he’s been released on bail until December when in reality he needs medical attention as his reactions are not one of a sound person. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nowhere did I specifically mention the person in the original lead post of this thread. Edited November 9 by Catoni Correction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yet, in recent years, while talking with Thai friends, i noticed that they are aware that some foreigners don't like to be called "Farangs" and they seemed surprised about me using that word.

Her friends ask me to find them a farang husband, their words not mine. it's a compliment. Edited November 9 by DannyCarlton 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winky Wilson 87 #147 Posted November 9 (edited) Alot of mentally ill Americans showing up in Thailand lately. I was in a restaurant off Loh Kroh road having some Isan BBQ. Some idiot started yelling at the owner because his food was taking too long to make. Real meat head thug. Very impatient with alot of negative thoughts in their head.

Torrens54 1,705 #148 Posted November 9 TOSS the “TOSSER” in the Cooler with a bunch of Local Lads and let them know WHY he is there. After they teach him some MANNERS, deport him at his cost and place a Lifetime Ban on him ever entering Thailand again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
