Feral Australians in Places Like Thailand

So the woman didn't notice something the size of a towel in her handbag that [allegedly] someone else put there.

When accused of stealing she abuses the local police force, compares herself to Michelle Corby (which is appropriate because a boogie board is about the same size as the bar mat) and then decides that is a good idea to overtly try and bribe a policeman.

Now she is back in Australia saying that she will never go to Thailand again. The winner is Thailand they will never have to put up with Australian white trash stealing in their country again.

Some Australians feel that since their own legal system has collapsed and people can do just about whatever they want for no jail time that they can go to another country and do the same thing. Then they expect to be treated in the same way forgetting that other countries may have laws that they actually enforce rather than give that next stern warming.

In this case the woman was lucky, stealing is not considered a trivial offense in Thailand. She could have faced jail time in a lovely Thai prison. Me, I would have locked her up for a few days for being an offense to humankind then sent her home. Perhaps the next country she tries that in will not be as kind, people like that never learn their arrogance won't let them believe that they were in the wrong.
