pedrinho Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 go find some REAL crime and leave this man alone. many of these frequent media messages of foreigners being picked up for minor offenses, while they make for good 'Thai chest thumping' at home, contribute to an ever worsening climate for western tourism to thailand. 2014 is, by all accounts, the worst year for voluntary repatriation : rarely have so many europeans returned to their homelands, or gone elsewhere, because the living climate in thailand is getting pettier and they feel abused and harassed by local authorities. this s NOT good for thailand, its economy, its reputation and its tourism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavezzi Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 you beat me to it souty i was just going to say another great guy on ed visa, and then they the others on ed visa wonder why the thai government want to clamp down on it,,, and the knives,, that gear takes some cutting dosnt it,,, You will be surprised to know that gov want to crackdown ED visa to avoid people working here illegally, the fact that some1 dont attend the lessons is not their main concern and that is by obvious consequence the reason you never saw a title saying "Crackdown on unattending students". If you was in charge to crackdown on illegally working people would you really go to check the school log books, really? If you would imho you are trying to solve the problem from a wrong point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted December 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2014 The Tao murderer walks free, and his family is untouched, and allowed to continue collecting millions of dollars, from their various trades, that have no benefit to the community, due to their wealth and influence. And this guy gets picked on by the police who should be out finding real criminals, committing real crimes. Why? A lack of influence and money. Nobody gets arrested in Thailand for marijuana, unless they do not have enough money to ask the police to go away. It is a cottage industry for these corrupt cops. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why no more ed visa now, we dont need this kind of people here, send back the trash where it came from. What exactly is he doing that has him be trash in your opinion? Who has he harmed so badly by his lifestyle? Maybe the Dutch tax payers, who have to jump in and pay those scumbags their social welfare money? Would any of my kids see this guy, the'd freak out and run. And Holland already has huge problems with the non functioning "Multi cultural" problem. That's maybe, why some people call him trash. You seem to miss your friend a lot. "Non functioning multicultural problem" ? Are you talking about Amsterdam or the rest of Holland? There was a younger politician a couple of years back who complained on TV that solving the "Multicultural Problems" wouldn't work out. He was shot to death soon after talking about the truth. Here's a part of it: "Fortuyn provoked controversy with his stated views about multiculturalism, immigration and Islam in the Netherlands. He called Islam "a backward culture", and said that if it were legally possible he would close the borders for Muslim immigrants",etc..please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pim_Fortuyn Edited December 16, 2014 by lostinisaan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minikev Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 i dont beleive a word of all of this: the only source of income is from Dutch government that sends him 700 Euro per month....for what for being clever? come on man i am still sober! this person live 20 years in thailand and get money from his government. ....it is totally impossible....the amount is also too much. with this lovely apearence and nice looking, i'd rather would say that he lives and makes money as a drug dealer , and they will f..u..k him for that Not really impossible, just in-probable, I know of people who have been bought off by the Dutch government who were trouble makers. 700 Euros is not much at all its close to what people get per month on welfare. But him staying in Thailand is usually not part of the deal.

The manic Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 You can do many things in Thailand, just DO NOT mess around with any kind of illegal substances as simple as that. I, and possibly millions of others over the last five decades, have been coming here for drug related fun. If, because of police actions, and I do say if, our hedonistic lifestyle is impeded we shall not come here. For us in our 60s it was a hard won civil right.

Personally, I would rather not judge based on appearance only. I expect he receives benefits for his clear disability. Too much for what? Netherlands disability benefits are 70% of the minimum wage, which equates to 1046 Euro per month. I do not know the system very well for the Netherlands but, some countries allow you to claim your disability abroad, the USA for example. There are loads of US citizens living off their disability pensions in Thailand. It could be that they give less to claimants living outside of the EU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBrains Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 When he is classiefied as disabled (and when miss a hand you are classified as disabled) then you get in the Netherlands arround 700 euro from the WAO if you live alone without partner, and when living in the Netherlands he get more benifits to get the minium living wage level which is arround 1200 euro.

But him staying in Thailand is usually not part of the deal. I agree with you Rob. Another poster said that he lost a limb in his youth so I'd guess he gets a disability benefit and I see nothing wrong with that. Choosing to live in what was a paradise 20 years ago also sounds like a good idea. Having the face tats is probably not a good idea. Having pot also not the best of ideas. But to call him bad names and vilify him as a tosser without knowing all the facts is a bit strong IMHO. I personally know of several Europeans who have had accidents at work and have a disability for which they receive a disability pension and that's how it should be in a civilised society. I even knew a young German man who had been addicted to heroin and as a result he also got some money from his government..... People in glass houses ........ There but for the Grace of God.......

The manic Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Nice to see the army sticking their oar in again. What a bunch of tossers. Someone's a tosser ... did you miss the fact that there was a military coup, and that Thailand is at present run by the military? Which part do you not understand? Sticking their oar in? Did you mean "Nice to see the army carrying out their duty"? Their only duty is to return the power they stole and stop interfering in other organs of the state. The sooner the perpetrators of this crime are classified as international criminals and warrants issued the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridler Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 So here we have a man who, to be honest, looks a mess with all those tattoos on his face, plus, he has been caught smoking, and allegedly dealing in the weed. If this man had been Russian, or Chinese, most of the comments would have been asking for him to be thrown out of the country, and how Thailand needs a better quality tourist. But nothing, well that's because he is 'one of us Europeans'. He gives all us foreigners a bad name, Thais will see him and tar us all with the same brush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
