Aussie Mother faces jail in Thailand for bar prank

[Prospector]

cool so we all got a green light to go run amok in thailand .thank smole

She did spend 4 days in jail; has been away from her young daughters for weeks, and has no doubt been terrified throughout the whole ordeal. OK, she behaved really badly to start with, but I think she has well and truly paid for her crime. Considering how we treat offenders in Australia she has feared much worse than they have.

 

[MrBurns]

ACA will be running around trying to bribe the guards to put her back in jail. Get a bit more mileage out of it.

 

[cuttlefish]

Well regardless of the why's and wherefore's its good to hear she's been let go.


I suspect The Aussie Bar won't have too much of a problem with missing beer mats for a while.

 

[moXJO]

I hope she doesn't come home and carry on about how she was hard done by on every network and local rag.


I wonder if you could set up an incident in cahoots with an overseas official. Then cry to the media while you do a short stint in a prison. Then come home and sell your story to anyone and everyone for top dollar. Of course you would need to be a good looking female for maximum coin.

 

[Stan 101]

Well it's good to hear she is home with her children and family. She dodged a bullet.

Be interesting to see her attitude when back on home soil and away from a 'muslim' country.


cheers,

Yes, now she can come home an aussie blue hero, go on today tonight and all the other shows and get paid $10K. I can't wait to see her face plastered on every newspaper, magazine and tv screen.

Oh, and can't wait for her mega book deal and tour to come out also.

Yep, thats the bit that sucks. Hopefully she will just spend time with her kids and forget the $$. But I am not too sure that people are going to be all that interested in hearing what she has to say, judging by this forum, anyway. Hope they arent, anyway. But that wont stop the media banging on, just like they are with swine flu.

Is it just me, or is everything a 'life altering outrage' according to the media lately.

cheers,

Thailand is not a muslim country. The predominant religion is Buddhism.

The irony may have been lost on you Julia.

The redneck claims of the Thai nation being Muslim earlier in the piece was my referal to ignorance. It may well have been deleted along with the other xenophobic slander.

I think I need a pm from you.

 

[Garpal Gumnut]

I reckon one of the Jetstar security people planted the beermat in her handbag at Sydney Airport.

You need a PM from me? Apparently you didn't wait for this. Instead you send me a very rude and unpleasant message suggesting I should not ever contact you on the basis that my above remark about Thailand not being muslim represented my condoning Mr Burns' xenophobia.

I'd have thought the opposite. Why else would I have taken the trouble to make the correction of a member called Stan 101 about whom I knew nothing who had apparently considered Thailand to be muslim.

Yes, I vaguely noted the quotes around 'muslim' but - given the high incidence of inappropriate punctuation on this forum - took no notice.

And previously I had equally vaguely observed that Stan 101's avatar was the same as Sanquar's, and likewise thought no more about it. Didn't notice that Stan's said "formerly known as Sanquar". If you are going to change your nic, why not change the image as well so you don't confuse people?
For that matter, why change anything?

So, somehow, for my lack of attention to detail and failure to observe the irony intended I'm judged to be condoning xenophobia. The logic escapes me.

The rudeness of the PM, however, does not.

For the record I NEVER intended to refer to Thailand as Muslim, what I did say was the law that the crime and the punishment that was talked about at the time was so extreme as to be Muslim Sharia law like in it's extremity.

Rudeness is that guys specialty take no notice, like carp in a river unfortunately.

Stanly or whoever you are, you really struggle to be civil don't you, I suspect you're very, very, young, well I hope so because if you're an adult you've got problems. Just be nice.

Interesting to hear the Mayor of Phuket is blaming the Bar owner (Australian) for the whole mess, and heard him quoted as saying that if the bar had been owned by a Local, then the whole thing would never have happened! And he also paid her fine.

The sooner this badly behaved western tourist lapses into obscurity the better for us all.
If we never hear again about this "mother of four" and her "harmless pranks" the world will be a better place.
Regrettably, I am soon likely to be assaulted by front page magazine pics of her with grinning offspring at my supermarket checkout, but only for one issue I expect, then it will be back to Brittany and Paris wallpaper.
Roll on next fortnight *sigh*

Could not have said it better.

[waza1960]

well she now has the ultimate punishment now known forever in the media as "Bar Mat Mum"lol

 

[helicart]

She is just another piece of white trash imho.....too uneducated and obsessed with her hair and nail color to appreciate she had left Australia and was in another country, and had a duty to understand and obey its laws.

That's the trouble with redneck progressives......they don't want to respect western history and culture....and they certainly don't want to respect or be sensitive to any other country's culture......all they want to respect is the call of hedonism, booze, drugs, and Big Brother why the hell aren't you bailing me out....

pathetic white trash cr@p.....the whole episode........Aussies that respect nothing but a view of the world through an empty bottle of scotch....

let her and her bleached ilk suffer in their panties....
