shygye Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 ... but why won't immigration show the evidence against the man? The police are always showing evidence such as photos and reenactment. Does such a tape even exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit_of_town_hall Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 One thing which I think is relevant is that the news paper which reported this is not a regular newspaper. Its a campaigning newspaper for black issues, it doesnt represent the normal law abiding member of the black community, but the cop killer etc, its that sort of paper. What I think happened here is that the guy lost his temper in a very explosive way, which wouldnt be taken that seriously in the UK. Now he's crying and begging for help from officials/ Hopefully he will have learnt a lesson in manners and civility, but I doubt it. STH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Did he say "Fuck you" to a male or female immigration officer? When somebody says "Fuck you" to me, I normally look at them and tell them I didn't know they liked men. Maybe there is another spin to this story that somebody is offended that he didn't get it up. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tartempion Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hi, Has this story been confirmed to be either true or false? Sanuk! Andrew Drummond (doesn't he use the board name famousgrouse on this board) has a blog on the subject: http://www.andrew-drummond.com/2009/03/10/of-an-embassy-and-brits-in-the-sht-blog/ Don't think AD is joking, he talked a lot to the culprit/victim and had some fruitless email exchanges with the British embassy in Bangkok. I tend to say shame to all of them: the British subject for saying "I am not a fucking idiot", Thai immigration officers and the British embassy for not doing much to help the man out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 "I was angry. I grabbed my passport and walked out of the Immigration area, saying â??I am a British citizen who has come to your country to spend my money. Donâ??t treat me like a â??f**king idiotâ?? ." Nothing much more to say... TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartThais Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 The guardian picked it up: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/mar/09/thailand-briton-jail-immigration "They'd kept me waiting an hour studying my passport with a magnifying glass," he said. "I was angry. I grabbed my passport and walked out of the immigration area, saying, 'I'm a British citizen who has come to your country to spend my money. Don't treat me like a fucking idiot." I'd probably jail the fucker too. It would be absolutely wrong to do so but it would feel SOOOOOO good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hi, Come on, guys. Don't tell me none of you would want to do the same thing after some shitty official has been giving you the runaround (likely with a snotty attitude) for an hour or so? Sanuk!
