Meanwhile, I hear tourism in Vietnam is booming. I hear in Vietnam of many examples of International travel companies re-directing tourists away from Thailand into Vietnam. TAT needs to go check the "visa on arrival" counters at HCMC and Hanoi if they have any doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobz Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Just give her a 5000 THB fine or something and let her go ... jail should be reserved for people that are a danger to people. This lady had good intentions and is no danger to society now that she knows she can't feed the fish, it was an honest mistake... Driving without a license however....

There has been no penalty so far. Perhaps none of those circumstances will apply to this woman, it is not unlikely that she may have planned her holiday to, coincidentally, stay long enough for her court date anyway.

Don't think you should expect others to research your claims. From what I've read, prosecution of whistle blowers is more likely than prosecution of the polluters. No. I didn't bring up the subject of other polluters but what I said is accurate (here's a clue, poisoned stingrays as just one example) If you dispute it the onus is on you to disprove it.

Stevemercer Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 While the lady may not have suffered a 'legal' penalty to date, she has nevertheless been penalised through having her liberty denied for 2 days (jail) and bail (fine) set at 100,000 Baht. Assuming she returns home as per her booked holiday (and assuming her passport has been returned), she will miss her court date and loose her bail. I wouldn't blame her if she does this rather than face the risk (no matter how small) of up to one year in jail. So what happens to the bail money?

Dogmatix Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Real OTT treatment of a foreign tourist who should have been let off with a warning or, at the very most, a B500 fine. B100,000 bail and two nights in jail is ridiculous. They have probably stolen her passport and will make her miss her return flight and be late returning for work to go to court and either have the case thrown out or get a small fine. Amazing Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get real man and stop trying to be as stupid as the powers that be. The only reason that she spent two days in jail is because she didn't come up with the bail money quick enough. It's a shame that you are confusing reality with stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand's injustice and crazyness ! Spread the story all over Russia, warn them about the flaws of a Thailand holiday. Simply unbelievable... "Spread the story all over Russia..." Ironically, that's probably the best suggestion that's been made so far! "Thailand's injustice and crazyness !' Let's wait and see, no justice, or injustice, has been meted out yet. The chances are that the worst that will happen to her is she will get a small fine and then her friends will get their bail money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Triangle Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 So, if the Thai's are really concerned about maintaining the ecosystems of the corals and all the creatures that live within that community should they not make the area surrounding such reefs off limits to all ? Only recently it was announced that all fishing in the Gulf has been banned for a while as it is the spawning period for many fish and this will help maintain fish stocks over the longer term, so in the same vein should they not make the coral and surrounding areas made off limits to Thai's and tourists alike ? Oh no !! Wait a moment, that would impact on the boat owners livelihoods, can't be having that can we ? Any boats operating in these areas should be made to display prominently, signs in all the popular languages Thai, Chinese, English, Russian etc etc, and hold the boatmen accountable for any infringements. This is just chuffin stupid, I really do hope it gets World wide media attention and that tourist numbers plummet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding & putting 100,000 baht at risk is also, in my opinion, somewhat of a penalty. Mental torment of the whole fiasco is also a bit of a penalty, don't you think ? No, the couple of nights in the police jail was not a penalty, it was a consequence of her not paying bail and wouldn't have happened if she had paid it. The bail money is not "at risk" unless she fails to appear as required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she jumps bail of course the bail money will be forfeited, that's the idea of bail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
