Goes to show that if you are involved in commercial porn for too long eventually you will be detected and most likely blacklisted from Thailand. One must ask himself, is it worth the risk of being banned from paradise.

One must ask himself, is it worth the risk of being banned from paradise. His accomplice on the run is the guy who produced the excellent "Sex Odyssey Thailand" videos. They were simply travel guides with some R rated nude Thai girls frolicking around on beds to pop music, no hard core X or anything like that. They must have drifted into the full X man on woman intercourse films as it would be a shame for getting busted for simply doing an overglorified "Girls Gone Wild" immitation, however I'm sure the Thai authorities don't like to see anyone making money on their turf.

Correct. If you don't have a work permit, your in trouble. ALL PORN is illegal in LOS.

It's not Paradise, believe me.

Yup which makes the Trolls story about cameras in Nana Plaza ST rooms virtually impossible. Thai's can get away with a few things (selling dirty dvd, toys, ect.) but a farang will be tared and feathered.

I don't know about anyone else, but I always find it turns my stomach a little when I see a big sweaty guy about 10 times bigger than the girl he's with so I can't feel sorry for this guy at all. Illogical I know, but maybe the fat fuck will lose some weight in prison

Unless you are selling porn DVD's on Sukhumvit Road and bribing the police.





It's not Paradise, believe me.

I would like to see where some of these guys live if they think Pattaya is Paradise.

He will do His time in an American jail. The US and Thailand have a repatriation treaty.

Yep, so he will lose some weight as he'll be tossing salad all day

I'm only 2.5 bigger than most Thai girls, so I guess I'm OK.

The weirdest size difference I ever seen was sitting in a little bar near second road and walking down the road was this huge middle aged Man. i'm talking maybe 7 foot or taller. The girl working in the bar called Him a small elephant!

He must have weighed around the 200 kilo mark. He was massive and was taller sitting in a low seat than the little 35 kilo Thai girl He was with standing beside Him!

The bedroom stuff WOULD turn my stomach.

Damn! they finally caught Jabba the Hut...Damn!

What the fuck has Mr. Todd Arthur Williams done wrong?
It seems he's not a pedophile,
they were bar girls not school girls,
He was presumably employing many people even if it was only for short time.
Oh, I've just got it. I understand now. Mr Williams did not have enough money on him at the time to pay off the police, now that is breaking the law in Thailand.

[Yujin69]

In looking at the photos in the newspaper, I didn't see the usual Thai "guilty until proven innocent" photo of a victim or victims pointing fingers at the suspect. I would have thought that the police or the newspaper photographer would have rounded up some nearby bargirls to point their fingers at him.

I always dread the day that I do something wrong in Thailand and my photo is in the newspaper with a "victim" pointing his/her finger at me.

But would the US enforce a sentence that violates our free speech laws? The same as honoring a sentence for eating pork or brewing beer from some muslim country. Believe it or not but this big fish is out on bail. The Thais were afraid he'd croak in jail and didn't want deal with the potential trouble. If he had remained locked up for a while, most likely they would have gotten him to pay tens of thousands in tea money and just deported him with time served. Most likely the big fish will eventually join all the other blacklisted ex-Pattaya boys over in Angeles. I spotted big boy taking up a whole booth in the Angeles go-go's back in April during Songkran and have heard from others that he spends a lot of time over there. Better not pull this pornography stunt over there, the pinoy cops will not only arrest you, but rough you up as well.

Not being an American I don't know.

Can I ask you a question, what is the age of consent in the US?

Because if you go to Naklua there are many billboards warning Americans if they have sex with anybody under 18 years old in Thailand they will be charged and jailed in the US for having sex with a minor.

IMO if the sentence is passed down and they are deported they would serve the sentence in an American jail. I'm sure they would chose it compared to a Thai jail!

You really have to know how it works out there. Thailand is a potential minefield for Farangs. You have to tread on eggshells or know the right people to get away with anything.

ALL PORNOGRAPHY is illegal. They will hunt a farang down, but not a Thai.

Farangs have NO rights at all in Thailand. Very few anyway.

Gambling is illegal. The Police raid houses and confiscate playing cards. Of course they also confiscate any money in the house also.

Prostitution is illegal in Thailand. A joke or what! No seriously, they love to round up, fine, or deport the Russian/Uzbek Women.

You insult or deface an image of His Maj and that carries a 75 year jail sentence. Or death if you speak about certain events a long time ago.

In Jomtien they have metal plates in the pavements telling people not to throw cigarette butts on the ground in the name of the King. In English and I presume Thai.
Sure, it's a good idea to stop litter but technically if you do you could be charged with a serious offence.

The new non smoking Laws in bars are a joke and aimed at Farang establishments.
No way are they going to enforce it in Thai Karaoke bars.

Anybody who wants to live in Thailand had better keep a VERY low profile and hope they don't upset anybody.

I wonder what will happen to His condo and belongings! You got it.
