[QUOTE=BuleDaddy]A Swiss dude that spray-painted over several portraits of the revered king plead guilty Monday and faces a max 75yr prison sentence.
Oliver Rudolf Jufer, 57, was caught by surveillance cameras on Dec. 5 spray-painting black paint over his Majesty on his 79th birthday that also commemorates that he is the longest lived monarch......[/QUOTE]
I believe that his nickname in Prison will be Swiss Cheese, because all of his fellow inmates will be looking to enjoy his holes.
Fellas,
I just read about the Swiss guy who was caught spray painting his Majesty. Very bad. On my last trip to the LOS I read a book called "Damage Done" by Warren Fellows. He is from Australia. He was caught with so many kilos of cocaine trying to transport it from BKK to Australia. In the book he describes being in prison in Thailand and all the torture he had to endure for like 11 years. Its a great read. I read it cover to cover on my plane flight back to the US. I recommend it.
The rest of this guy's life is going to be really bad.
That Swiss guy is lucky to be alive. If he'd have been caught by Thais on the street, it's unlikely he'd still be around to face trial. In terms of the big picture, the King now has the opportunity to show both his wisdom and mercy by pardoning the idiot. I can't imagine the Swiss guy would be too popular among the general population in a Thai prison.
Insult the Buddha or the King in front of a group of Thais and they'll stomp you to death. The police will say you died of a heart attack or drug overdose or committed suicide. Your body will be cremated immediately and your embassy will get the urn delivered the next morning. Case closed.
It isn't a joke. Whatever else you do or don't do, never, ever do anything considered even remotely disrepectful of the Buddha or King. It's literally a matter of life and death. If you can't accept that and abide by it drunk or sober, don't visit LOS.

A complete pardon is unlikely, but a reduced sentence is possible and that's only after they make the Swiss gov't exaust all diplomatic means and sweat it out , then beg his highness for being lenient on one of their poor citizens. Or the Swiss govt could simply say he was nuts and he forgot to take his medications--sorry, had to say this as its a popular court defense these days.
But, They will make sure he will do at least some qualilty time in their rat holes to serve as a reminder to foreigners as what not to do while in LOS.

I will be spending a few weeks in Taiwan on a trip, and since I've never been to Thailand I was hoping to travel there for a bit, but probably could only spend 5-7 days at most.
I am interested in sex, and also experiencing some of the culture, food, and environment of Thailand. Would it be appropriate to spend the whole trip in Bangkok, or would it be better for me to hit another city?
For hotels, are there places relatively "close to the action" but reasonable, and with internet?
Does anyone know the best way to get a cheap flight from Taiwan to Thailand?
I look forward to sharing my experiences with the group, and appreciate your advice!

please read the following for a definition of heaven:
(translated from the thai rath newspaper, 4 march)
after mr wichai (tao), aged 24, from samut songkram province, who earns his living by dealing in old goods, got married to gorgeous
twins ms sirintara and ms thipawan 22, he vouched his sincerest 'equal love' for both of them!
mr wichai, just yesterday, 23 march, got married in a pompous ceremony to both twins simultaneously.
on being interviewed by the thai rath reporters, mr wichai declared wholeheartedly, that he didn't see much problem in having to perform tiresome marital duties with two wives.
in the engagement ceremony before the wedding, mr wichai successfully offered a dowry of eight baht of gold and 80,000 baht each for his lovely darlings.
both families celebrated the marriage with joy and were said to be delighted for the threesome.
mr wichai told the press that he had been best of friends with his neighbouring twins since they were children.
"when i grew older, i would walk past their house each morning and try to decide for myself which one i fancied more, but it
was darned impossible - i adored both of them - i just couldn't decide, which one of them to chat up....!"
he went on to say, 'for three continuous years all three of us would go on dates together, until there was one day when i couldn't stand the frustration any longer and told them, "i love you and want to marry you both"'
the fortunate mr wichai, instead of getting a slap in the face, was overjoyed when both girls admitted to having sworn all along,
that they wished to marry the same man!
"it wasn't easy at first, what with the neighbours gossiping, but our family sympathized, understood, and fully supported
our mutual love for the one man" the twins said.
mr wichai arranged for his brides to live with him, in his family house after the wedding, and his mother has already proudly prepared two rooms for the newly-weds.
our reporters were just gagging to hear the response to this mouth-watering question:-
"and.... what are the sleeping arrangements mr wichai"? to which he replied modestly with a beaming smile
"absolutely no problems! for the first three nights of the week, i will sleep with ms thipawan and the next three will be spent with ms sirintara. as for every saturday, the three of us will sleep together"
ms sirintara finally told the press,
"when my twin and i worked as assistant nurses, we promised each other that we would never leave each other's side, and that our future husband would have to either take us both, or leave us.
anyway, mr wichai is the perfect man - he neither smokes nor drinks!"[/quote]
seems to work out perfectly if mr wichai is approximately twice as horny as the girls. i hope the twins were not identical, as that would improve the variety. i always have problems with being more horny than my girlfriends and wanting sex about twice as often as they do.
one of my girlfriends was an identical twin but unfortunately she wasn't very horny at all.
now in a proper threesome the 2 girls should really get it on together and provide a lesbian show for mr wichai, but that seems a little unlikely in this case since it would be seen as [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord128][CodeWord128][/url] (not that i have anything against siblings getting it on sexually if they want).
if, by chance, the girls are more horny than mr wichai, i see some problems.
Hatachi,
Try Eva Air they seems to have lots of flight daily.
China airlines, Eva and of course TG all fly.
Best bet, eztravel.com.tw - not sure if website has english but their office Min Sheng E Rd, about 3 blocks west of Citibank and CX airlines, pm for more details.
Gentlemen, here is the result of a stupid idea
Swiss Oliver Rudolf Jufer leaves the court for prison in Chiang Mai Province, 700 km (310 miles) north of Bangkok, March 29, 2007.
A Thai court sentenced Jufer, 57, to 10 years in jail on Thursday for defacing images of Thai royalty, a rare prison term for a foreigner convicted under the country's tough lese-majeste laws.

What made this whole affair worse is that this idiot was not a newbie in LOS. I could understand someone making this mistake as a drunken newbie and not aware of the strict culture surrounding the King, but this idiot have actually been living in LOS for over 10 years!!!!

He won't actually do much of that time, but will quietly be released after a few months. They have to make a big show, and set an example, particularly at this time with everything in such turmoil and the power elite under threat.
It's a stupid law, even opposed by the king, put in place by one Thailand's dictators in the 60s as a way to shore up the ruling military class. Much of the pomp and circumstance one sees associated with the royal family is the invention of the military in the 60s. For example, before that Thais didn't have to prostrate themselves before the king because the practice was abolished by King Rama V around 1900. But, it was reinstated to reinforce the hierarchy in Thai society and maintain the power in the ruling classes.
[QUOTE=Old Thai Hand]He won't actually do much of that time, but will quietly be released after a few months.[/QUOTE]He will do enough time. So that he won't be the same man again when he gets out. Well, at least his asshole won't be the same diameter.
Serves him right, he should have known better.

He may only do a few months, but it ain't going to be fun time. And then he will be permanently banned from Thailand, like he would want to come back.
Secrets of Thai bar girl pay revealed
How much do Thai bar girls get paid? Here are their terms and conditions - plus those of brothel workers and massage girls too. The benefits package isn't very tempting but, on the plus side, they get to meet lots of interesting new people.
Bar girls
Bar girls' salaries range from 2,000 to 6,000 baht per month. Here are some of their work rules.
• Only two days off permitted a month, or they must pay 300 baht a day for extra leave days.
• No leave permitted on Fridays, Saturdays and national holidays. Otherwise, fines range from 500 to 1,000 baht a day.
• Must go out with the clients four to 10 times a month or pay fine of 500 baht for each missed quota.
• Must sell 80-100 drinks to clients or pay 30 baht a drink for the missed quota.
• Must have health check-up every three months. If the blood test is positive for sexually transmitted diseases, they will not get the salary for that month.
• Must wear the outfits arranged by the bars or pay the fine of 100 to 200 baht.
• Must not use the clients' restrooms.
• Must not eat during work hours.
• Must buy own drinking water.
Scooby1, good info (especially about the amount of bar fines needed to compensate for taking the lady out for a vacation day), but I've seen enough bar girls eating on the premises that I suspect that the rule about not eating during work hours must vary across different establishments.
