Probably not if he allowed them to blackmail him into removing the reviews. Hopefully, they’ll be some changes made to these laws.

He's a Tefler with a violent criminal history (wonder how he got around the background check?), am sure he would have been happy with a few thousand baht.

ChipButty Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Maybe he should be looking to get his job back if not and he gets kicked out of Thailand I think the media circus would just escalate, Another story how he lost his job, some outside influence if you know what I mean?

You’re suggesting they bribe him? As long as you’re speaking for him, maybe you should write his reviews too LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if they are viewing this forum they could have you charged for making that claim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I'm seeing this all over global mainstream news. Talk about something that lifted up a rock and shined a bright light on the scurrying creatures underneath. This isn't going to look good for either Thailand and their Machiavellian defamation laws nor for Sea View Resort & Spa Koh Chang which chose to bludgeon Mr. Barnes with those criminal defamation laws which effectively has cause more negative press for themselves - globally - than a few negative reviews buried amongst mostly positive reviews on the TripAdvisor's site would never do. Those negativity reviews where literally in the noise. If they send Mr. Barnes to prison they'll destroy what's left of their international business. Time to capitulate and seek a solution that both parties can agree on, but also repairs the damage now done in the global Court of Opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal experiences in USA and from observing the current administration and office holders behaviours I would venture to say that the sense of entitlement in the USA is of astronomical proportions.

renz Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 once i stay at a hotel here in bkk and the bed had lots of bed bugs and when i feed back to the reception they dismissed it and i went back to the room and caught a few and put in a plastic bag and went back to the reception and show the staffs - guess what the staff did ? quickly took it and dump in the garbage can behind their counter. i got so furious i insist to see the higher authority, so the manager came and i brought him to the room to show him i wasn't telling lies. but unfortunately his non urgent body language tells me to move to another hotel right away. went and found a clean bed and room and stay for 3 week. it amaze me that they are willing to lose business but not face. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
