travelman Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 As being a foreigner if I do the same act of violence against a Thai Woman. Will I get the same suspended sentence even though it will be my first sentence? Will I be deported after the sentence? I think, in the judicial system of Thailand, For Thai's it is molesting and for foreigners like us it is RAPE. I wonder sometimes if I am living in land of smiles or land of aliens.

stockholm1995 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Last 24 hours i have been thinking about this case. How did they think? The police The court (judge) I don´t understand . Maybe it is because i am farang and not thai. sometimes my wife tells me that too. You are not thai. You don´t understand thai thinking and thainess. So this must be thainess???

Atoosa07 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 If he was a foreign man from the West he would have been behind bars for a log time.....I wonder if the judge has a daughter or grand daughter? And how would he have felt and made judgement on this kind of behavior and what example has he set for his country and tourist who think they can get away with is kind of crime they were caught for the first time.......DISGUSTING HE SHOULD BE BARED FROM THIS DUTIES AS A JUDGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafish Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 So, its open season on female tourists to Phuket I take it? Criminals go free and the victems get no justice....perfect Thai logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konini Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 But the next time he does this they will be down on him like a tone of bricks. That will be of no comfort to his next victim - who of course wouldn't be a victim if he were punished adequately in the first instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whidbeyboy Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 The Chinese embassy will have a s**t fit over this We should all be having a S**t fit. This is unbelievable. Talk about a joke of a justice system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whidbeyboy Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 "suspended because it was his first conviction." But I doubt it was his first crime. Right. I really doubt he just started this behavior and just the first time caught. This is disgusting and I cannot tell you how pissed it makes me at the Thai system and people if this is how they treat people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindside Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I've totally run out of words absolute disgrace! This young lady will be scarred for the rest of her life! The thai justice system is rotting to the core just like their policing and government systems. I hope that the chinese government protest and threaten to withdraw trade and tourism to the land of lunacy until proper justice is carried out for this poor young lady! The taxi driver should have been sent to china ..he would surely have received a death penalty if not life imprisonment Absolutely, even tax evasion can a capital offence in China. If he did not get jailed for the molestation and abduction which all right-minded people would argue for, perhaps TAT and especially local dependents such as drivers and touts should not complain about zero-baht Chinese tours. Here is a Chinese tourist taking local transport and look at what happens. I know it could happen to anybody, but if you want to change the "crowd, safety in numbers, bulk discount mentality" of the average Chinese tourist this will certainly not help. If this was my daughter....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeycountry Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Anyone still in doubt reg. how much thailand cares what happens to non-thais in thailand? :-) Afterall Thai logic dictates that had the girl not gotten into the taxi, this would never have happened, hence it was her own fault.

monkeycountry Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I think we should remember that this was a Phuket taxi driver. The news over the past several years have made it quite clear that these guys are pretty much untouchable mafia guys with very influential protection from phukets top politicians.

We are Thai and we are proud to provide a sound and efficient public transport service on the paradise island of Phuket. We are the ones who decide what happens here and to whom. It was obviously what the girl wanted. She led him on and was travelling alone and thus asking for it. " Wow. That is a very revealing post of how your mind works. Get help.

If there were and you did, you'd then have the cop coming to arrest you for defammation to contend with... Some of those who post on TV, if they reside in Thailand and are sufficiently "vocal" in their condemnations, are probably on borrowed time as it is.

milys Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 This really is an insult to the poor girl...1 year and 10k baht !! Is this how the thai justice system will advertise itself to foreign visitors ? It`s fine to molest a young girl for five hours because your were under the influence of alcohol and jaba, but don`t get caught with drugs, then the justice system will really show it`s teeth. Shame on this corrupt system !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your level of comprehension live in a subway? Your response is an indication of how your mind doesn't work, Maybe you should both heed your own advice and think carefully about a post before you jump in quickly to criticise. I am well aware that the quote was written from the viewpoint of a Thai by that poster, but that was exactly my point. The irony of having to explain it to you superior intellects; That diatribe was written from the perspective of a character who that poster has never met, never spoken to and never heard from. What that rant really was is a showcase of that poster's prejudices against Thais and against women. You get it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Briggsy Posted October 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2013 Yet still the sheep keep coming to Phuket. Those taxi guys must be laughing their heads off. Rip them off, beat them up, rob them, stop them leaving the port or the hotel, rape them, it doesn't matter. Nobody dares touch us. The courts, the police, the governor, they can all be bought off or intimidated into inaction. And they keep coming, who cares where they are from, they are not one of us, so we can treat them like an animal. They will never stop coming. This is Phuket, where the world vacations. There will always be more on the next flight. They are so stupid. They have so much money. And I must have it. This is my island, my country and you will give me what I demand, your money, your business and your body if I so wish. I rule this place, I am in the co-operative. I am untouchable. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestBitterPhuket Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 This is outrageous and disgusting. If a tourist does the same the, then it will be a year in jail at least. The message is clear: A thai man in phuket can do almost anything, sex crimes or violence against foreigners AND get away with it. It's sick. The courts are worse than the police. Blatant rasism.

Bender Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 so he got 12 months, but i bet after few months in jail he will get again a reduced terms for good behavior..... a foreigner caught stealing a shirt at tesco or overstaying his visa, will get his picture in the newspaper. But assaulting a 19 yo girl will just get you few months in jail... land of the true hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry001 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Surprise, surprise!! Thai fairness.This country is unbelievasbly stupid and gutless. Hope this hits newspapers world wide.

dighambara Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 "The judge initially sentenced Paitoon Kruain to 26 months in jail and a fine of B21,000, but both were halved because he had pleaded guilty. The judge then decided to suspend the sentence because the offences abduction, molestation and driving under the influence of alcohol and methamphetamine, were all first convictions." Are you kidding me? "abduction, molestation and driving under the influence of alcohol and methamphetamine. " The judge should do 26 months for being a moron. So, you have never heard of 'Tea Money'. I have indirect experience with Judges taking bribes to erase records - even in incidents where a death was the result. more public is a recent situation - need I say 'Red Bull Heir'..?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
