Drink destroys more than you love
Whether there is such an expression in Poland, I do not know, but a Polish man put this motto, which was once widely used in the Netherlands, very literally.
Already far over his tea water, he entered a 7-Eleven store in the Phaya Thai district of Bangkok earlier this week for booze. He put a bottle of beer on the counter for payment, the young saleswoman named the price and then the trouble started.
He took an iron bar from his backpack and threatened the saleswoman in English, which she did not understand and looked at him uncomprehendingly.
The 42-year-old Pole then became a mataglap, jumped behind the counter and held the girl with the iron bar in a headlock. He then pushed the poor child away from him, who fled to the back where the police had been alerted.
The Pole first wreaked havoc on everything on the counter, put a number of bottles of liquor and cigarettes in his backpack and fled the store. The Pole didn't get far due to his indifference and thanks to the closed circuit television he was quickly apprehended.
He is charged with robbery and will have plenty of time to sober up in a Thai prison.

There are shops that could use a renovation, a new and fresh look invites customers, but I would do something like that in consultation. Scaring the hell out of a shop girl is highly inappropriate and so is unsolicited renovation. As far as I'm concerned, they first let that gentleman dock everything neatly, then go to jail, then a kick in the ass, leave the country and never come back. Thailand doesn't need these kind of people.
It will be some time before he is kicked out of the country. In addition to the destruction, he is also likely to be charged with assault. No sinecure in Thailand. Something to the detriment of the already dubious reputation of “the farang”? For them Poles are also farangs, right? Although, my wife still has her doubts. “They look different” Anyway, someone from southern Italy does not always look like a Dutchman, of course. Or rather: Frenchman. Isn't that where the word comes from?
Would he have applied for a permit for that renovation?
Anyway, in Thailand you probably don't need a permit if you want to renovate.
He will probably get into trouble if he does not have a work permit for that renovation.
Moreover, it seems to me work that could be done by a Thai, so he should never do that anyway.
What a horrific havoc one man can cause. And that while he is drunk.
I always wonder whether that is really only under the influence of alcohol, or whether other substances have been used.
Alcohol calms me down. With large amounts I want to stand horizontally as quickly as possible with my eyes closed.
So I can't imagine where someone gets the energy from to wreak such havoc.
From me, this figure may be given hard labor until he has worked up all the damage with it.
At a daily rate of 300 baht I see about 3-4 years of work for him. Seems pretty appropriate for this ridiculous display.
ok, this was a Pole then. But there are entire tribes that are not Poles and do the same thing.
Heavy punishment. And do not serve the sentence in your own country, but enjoy it in a "real" prison there.
I live in the Philippines myself and the prisons there are also a "relief" to serve your sentence.
even with a false report, the Thai police must start an investigation and arrest and it takes 12 days before you can appear. 12 days behind bars at a police station is no fun, but it is easier to get visitors. Speak from experience. If the police say that the investigation has not yet been completed, it can be indefinitely extended by 12 days. If there is no English speaking lawyer nearby and your embassy knows nothing about your detention (the police will pass this on to the embassy, but when?) then you are out of luck. If you are even more unlucky that your visa expires in the meantime, the police will take you to the Immigration Service with the well-known procedure… if you have a ticket, you will be put on the plane (at least if you were found innocent)
If you are found guilty, then you will go to prison after the verdict and it is certain that your visa will expire in the meantime and if you have a ticket, you will be deported with a stamp in your passport stating how long you have not been may return. But the route always goes through the Immigration Service, which has to prepare your documents for the deportation.
It should also be noted that not every Pole is the same, just as every Dutch person is not comparable.
The advice is to just stay away from the police which is hard in Thailand because they are everywhere they don't need to be ha, ha…
No one can use such guys. Why do they actually come to Thailand. Or is it out of sheer frustration what they are doing? then many are 'aimless', their money runs out, the ticket expires, they get caught with 'overstay' and are locked up at the emigration office where they can't get away if they have no one to help with a ticket…. mostly misery they themselves cause. Thailand is full of them.
Yet another “quality tourist”… Russians, Ukrainians, Poles… rude, ill-mannered, extremely loud or drunk, possibly in combination. We cannot tar them all with the same brush, but experience shows that in practice there are many who meet the profiles mentioned. They also immediately assume that every non-Asian is a Russian and speak to you in their language.
