Aussie in jail for stealing a Bar Mat in Phuket
Re: Aussie in jail for stealing a Bar Mat in Phuket
My sentiments exactly aardvark. If you look up bad behaviour, or low class in the dictionary, most of the time you will see a photo of a "POM"... Wake up you poor souls from that dark, dank and mouldy little country, whenever you see stupid, loud, drunken and loutish behaviour in public, who is leading the pack ? Thats right, "POMMYS"...

"Aussie Bar" is a name Aussie will remember.
Lesson for me: Behave properly in Thailand.
Surely if thats what steveway saw on Oz TV that the bar owner was adamant he was dealing with a thief then thats it, that is what steveway saw..thats the facts on what he saw and thats what he posted..Rufus wrote:Steveway2, please get your facts straight. I have a friend who was there at the time:
Rufus wrote:The lady's friends put the bar towel into her bag. The lady was seen with the bar towel by bar staff and the police searched her bag. The bar owner did not press charges - he was not even in the bar at the time. The lady became abusive towards the police, a simple apology would probably have sufficed. She was then asked to accompany the police to the police station, (an apology would still probably have sufficed, but no). and she did a runner - the cops chased her down Bangla Rd onto the beach. At this stage they took her back to the police station where she became even more abusive. They put her in the clink to cool her off. No charges were ever pressed by the Aussie Bar, but by this stage it was too late anyway.
So before people blame Steve, one of the owners of the Aussie Bar, make sure you know what you are talking about and don't write crap.
And i blame the Drunken Aussie woman who showed no respect and acted like a lout...then bitched about it when she realised she was in deep sh!te....som.....Ohhh and her drunken mates who also should be up on a charge of theft and lets face it they admitted it to the world as witness's, open and shut case M'lud...send them back on a ship to Oz.
None of this would be in the news if she had acted as a normal grown up should, she would of got a ticking off and carried on with her drinking, and been back home with her kids on time.
and sounds like the keystones where on the beat.....chasing her around patong.

And couldn't be at a worse time....as pooket is struggling getting tourists in along with the rest of Thailand...jackspratt wrote:Unfortunately, whether or not Mr Steve of the Aussie Bar pressed charges, is probably a moot point by now.
From reading reactions on other forums (? fora), he is far from the most popular Australian in Thailand amongst potential Aussie tourists. Whilst he will no doubt retain the patronage of the local Phuket hardcore, he may struggle to get any visits from the tourists.
people in the past have slammed the brits for recreating a bit of England with opening brit style bars/pubs just to be like home...Aussies are just as bad with Aussie bars,and Afgans with Afgan Themed Bars expand your minds go out further afield discover the real Thailand, get out of the Over priced Tourist traps, there is more to Thailand than ex-pat owned theme bars with Big TV's and Brown Sauce.......

Re: Aussie in jail for stealing a Bar Mat in Phuket
Guess you've never been in the Earls Court Road area of London then Archie. Drunkeness , fighting , overtly sexual displays and skipping the bar bills. Thats only the Sheilas.archie wrote:My sentiments exactly aardvark. If you look up bad behaviour, or low class in the dictionary, most of the time you will see a photo of a "POM"...

Re: Aussie in jail for stealing a Bar Mat in Phuket
Have to disagree, there is a venue in kentish town called the church, it is packed solid with OZ and NZ guys and girls every sunday.
Some come in fancy dress or otherwise all get bladdered and are well behaved and have a great time, also the church organizes security from the venue to the tube station including looking after shopkeepers and alike.
The result is a well organized pissup and no fallout, London and elsewhere could do with a lot more venues like this one.
It's they same old good and bad everywhere.

Re: Aussie in jail for stealing a Bar Mat in Phuket
There is a Church near me...i might ask the Vicar if he also runs events like this one you talk of Ter.
Re: Aussie in jail for stealing a Bar Mat in Phuket
I was of course posting humorously Ter, But I must admit your post was far funnier. The thought of all our Commonwealth cousins going to 'church on a Sunday night, some in fancy dress to get bladdered, had me in fits of laughter. As does the thought of the church wardens escorting the revellers to the tube station after.Ter wrote:Have to disagree, there is a venue in kentish town called the church, it is packed solid with OZ and NZ guys and girls every sunday.

Can you really be talking about the same sort of guys I know and love??? Guess it takes all sorts.
Re: Aussie in jail for stealing a Bar Mat in Phuket
That would be an ecumenical matter BM not one I could get involved in.
Re: Aussie in jail for stealing a Bar Mat in Phuket
Sorry Val, I meant to sat the Venue is called the church, though it is a converted church, and the security guys are all six foot tall muscle bound young lads with a different approach to handling drunks. I.E. passive

Re: Aussie in jail for stealing a Bar Mat in Phuket
Wasnt it the Poms who got caught and got sent ??? or was Habious Corpious a waste of time,
Now then, this bar mat ! ( back on Topic )
Shown on Thai TV Channel 7 last night
The bar mat is a 2 meter X 30 CM wide long Bar mat, that covers a complete section of the bar
specifically designed for the Aussie Pub Phuket, the Aussie Bar staff showed how it is required to be folded 4 times, to fit into a backpack or very large bag.
IT IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE BOTTLE OR CAN BEER MAT !!!
she got caught and now crying.
No doubt will try and sell her story, slagging off Thailand etc, fortunately she was guilty, and thefore cant benefit from the proceeds of the story etc.
She got caught, Alcohol dilutes common sense and she has wasted the Consulates time and favours with the Thai's

Re: Aussie in jail for stealing a Bar Mat in Phuket
it would appear that my comments have rattled the cages of a few of our commomwealth cousins !!! and that because of my observations from the past , that i am in full favour of giving anyone who sidesteps outside the law a bloody good thrashing . this is untrue . i was merely pointing out that the police in europe had a subtle and effective way of dealing with the a~sehole element of the millions of tourists that grace thier shores . and it works very well !!!!! not only does it keep thier own citizens safe , but it also helps to retain a pleasant holiday envoiroment for the rest of the holiday makers who have decided to spend thier hard earned cash in that country . i personally do not care whatever nationality these gobshyts are , my point is , if you visit a forieng country , you are an ambassador of your own country , you should behave yourself , and treat your host people with a little respect , whether they be in authority or just a local peasant !!!!! if this is far to much for our australian contingent to comprehend then maybe , just maybe they should stay at home ...
Re: Aussie in jail for stealing a Bar Mat in Phuket
i think she got off too easy. 1 week in jail, and banned from future visits to thailand would of been more appropriate. her story is bs, she wanted it, she stole, then when caught, resisted arrest.
a thief and a liar, can't stand neither. thailand doesn't need them.

Re: Aussie in jail for stealing a Bar Mat in Phuket
Talk about winging poms....she(and her mates) are in the club big time, winging badly behaved drunken Oz woman with no respect and a taste for someone elses property. ... Now if she was a brit the newspapers would of dug up all her history and printed it, wonder what she is really like (apart from the above what we already know)...
