Ok, it sounds like a case of bad behaviour and drunkeness, again. Huge consequences though. Legally, the only thing she has been charged with is the theft of the mat; yet the owner isnt pressing charges. So why is she still waiting for Court and being held on bail if she hasnt been charged with anything else?
The statement below kind of sums it up. Not picking on you, but by saying that, you're thinking like an australian, and you're assuming the same laws and standards here are relevent there.
And that my friends, is why people get into trouble over seas. The laws here mean nothing...they are not applicable.
The more she openly criticises Thai authorities the more difficult she makes it for them to release her and still save face at the same time.
MrBurns said:The drinks are obviously too cheap over there allowing poor people to get drunk and show their bad manners
Well then it's the job of the Dept Of Foreign Affairs to make sure we know about the barabarian laws that govern these places so we can prepare.
At least the travel agents should issue warnings.
I find it somewhat amusing that we whinge about the soft sentances handed out here in OZ but when an Aussie gets into trouble overseas we also whinge about the tougher sentances handed out.
Yeah, I agree, and the answer is probably somewhere in the middle.I find it somewhat amusing that we whinge about the soft sentances handed out here in OZ but when an Aussie gets into trouble overseas we also whinge about the tougher sentances handed out.
Probation for rape?
What the?

what's in a name (if said thrice quickly)...
The owner of the Aussie Bar, Steve Wood, said that he believed Ms Smoel had been abusive toward the undercover police who had stopped her in the bar.
...
Tough sentence ok, stupid fundamentalist Muslim Sharia law type stupidity is something else.
There is nothing muslin, sharia or barbaric about their laws. That statement stinks of ignorance. Differences does not equate to stupid nor barbaric.
Woman hurling abuse at police should expect some punishment and it should not be allowed in Australia either.
Any law that threatens to put you in jail for 5 years for stealing a bar mat and being rude to the police is barbaric.
Your lack of common sense stinks of ignorance.
