Aussie Mother faces jail in Thailand for bar prank

Jump to new
On CH10 just now, the other side of the story from the bar owner, she was seen by two under cover police roll up the bar mat and place it in her bag, when they approached her she ran, she has screwed up big time, what has made it worse for her is having her mates here in Australis say it was not her, sorry she is going to jail.

If the police were undercover, maybe she didnt realise they were police? She didnt look the least bit bogan to me, quite the opposite.

She probably should have guessed once she was at Police Station

To quote myself from earlier NEVER cause an asian official to lose face.

common cause of problem, Matt Johns, Clair, Oz mum..to much grog.

her voice sounded bogan on a tv clip, but that could be stress

even in good old Oz, people sometimes have to plead guilty, to save facing a longer time in remand.

at least she is out on bail
 
Cant see why everyone is caught up on the bogan thing. Snobby little rich brats can be some of the worst throwers of temper tantrums.

Example - Naomi Campbell
 
hello,

spot on overit

yobbo yuppie, scum, well dressed boozehead,

the average joe who bangs it is nicer than these people

thankyou
robots
 
personally thinks a jail term rather harsh BUT also understands the bar owners view also ...... some toxic female running amok in your establishment then nicking your property .. some tourists should bloody well learn how to behave when drinking ., in fact not just tourists , everybody that gets a skinful then decides its there given right to act like a numnut!
 
If you put the behaviour stuff to one side, are some of you actually suggesting that you should plead guilty to a crime in Thailand, knowing that there is a jail sentence, even if you didnt do it?

No.

qualifiers

better get a lawyer son, better get a real good one.

and the conviction rate for contested trials in some Asian countries is almost 100%

dont know how the Thai legal system works

but I do know if you steal the slightest thing from a Buddhist Temple, 5 yrs

She is probably hoping consular negotiation will do the trick, and I suspect it may, as this one is an ugly look for Thai Tourism.

If I was the hubby, I would be also be trying to make a personal apology to the police chief, and probably have my lawyer offer a big donation to the "Police Widows and Orphans Fund"

OR her hubby is thanking his lucky stars that finally his boozehound thieving missus has finally been taught a lesson in alcohol etiquette
 
It was a $20 slops mat, these people dont deserve tourists.

Why isnt there a travel warnng out ?
 
i would like to point out my last post was merely meant as a giggle and im sure her hubby loves her dearly and will not use this episode to gain full custody of his kids because of his alcoholic criminal wife

The trouble here is that she was caught red handed, that means she gets jail time no matter who she is.

There's a big difference between 'pleading guilty' and expediently offering financial compensation for the inconvenience suffered by the parties involved.

I didn't do it you "%@#$@#@#$


I apologise for the actions of my friends and would humbly like to offer compensation for the inconvenience caused.
 
And by the way in Thailand saying sorry I was drunk at the time will go against her big time. When in Thailand you must abide by their laws, not ours, she is going to JAIL.

Not necessarily.

In the case I mentioned earlier, that was quite similar to this, the young lady returned home after about 2 weeks in jail.

the family definitely paid money

it was a very long time ago now, but I remember that her brother and father were both Police officers, and they went over.

I reckon charges will be withdrawn.

(they let out the dude that "insulted" the royal family)

unless people play their cards wrong, or dont pay

hopefully the dude can re-mortgage.

worst case scenario, they decide to make an example of her.

I don't think the problem was the bar mat, the owner doesn't seemed to concerned about it. Abusing officials in a country like Thailand is probably not the smartest thing to do.

If the Aust govt had to issue travel warnings everytime an Aussie makes a goose of themselves while overseas and on the piss there would be travel warnings to every country in the world
 

5 years jail for stealing that ?, even if you are pissed, and just how pissed and abusive would this mid thirties mother a 4 ? be ?

All tourists OUT, see how that like that little trick.

Do we need to have official travel warnings just to advise people to be polite?

I expect if she had pleasantly asked the bar manager if she could take the mat as a souvenir of her wonderful holiday in his wonderful country, there would have been smiles all round and happy agreement.

Attitude is everything.
