    The discovery of a body of a homeless man, who was known to sleep in an abandoned beer bar on Pattaya Beach Road, was made on Sunday afternoon.

     

    Police were called to the Beer Bar Complex at the Central Pattaya section of Beach Road, just before 1.30pm and were directed to a Beer Bar located at the rear of the complex, which had been empty for some time.

     

    A homeless man, thought to be a Thai National, had been sleeping there for some time and a cleaner of a nearby restaurant would often provide him with food. On Sunday he failed to appear at the restaurant as usual which led to the discovery of his body.

     

    The man’s name is not known and his exact cause of death is also a mystery for now. Police have ordered a full post-mortem examination to take place although the death is not thought to be suspicious in any way and foul play is not thought to be a factor in his death, which is thought to have occurred 5-6 hours prior to the discovery of the body.

  2. He's on the National Sex Offender Registry

     

     

    Drunk after a night of partying, Jason Hoffman tried to force himself on the 17-year-old girl sleeping on the couch at a friend’s house.

     

    It was Sept. 1, 2008, shortly before his 25th birthday, when the muscular Hoffman climbed on top of the girl and began to grope her. At first she thought it was a friend, but when she quickly realized it was Hoffman, she immediately objected to his clumsy advances.

     

    But Hoffman continued to sexually assault her, said Crown prosecutor Bruce Goddard on Wednesday in Campbell River provincial court. The incident was described at the low end of seriousness in sexual offences, but the ordeal had long-term effects on the girl. “It has changed her life. It was hard for her to deal with this,” noted Goddard. He added that she suffers from ongoing emotional and trust issues which affects her relationships with friends and romantic interests.

     

    Hoffman was arrested after authorities were alerted, but he apparently didn’t take the charge seriously and claimed he didn’t use any force That finally changed, said defence lawyer Doug Marion, during his prolonged trial which began in November 2009, resumed in June 2010 and finally concluded with a guilty verdict last October. “He could see after the victim testified that it was not consensual,” Marion told Judge Alan Gould. The court heard that Hoffman was raised by a good family, but then began partying and drinking to excess.

     

    Judge Gould remarked that Hoffman led a “charmed life” and avoided run-ins with the law until he committed the sexual assault. “This is a serious matter, sir…you really scared this girl,” the judge said.

     

    However, following his arrest and release on bail, Hoffman abided by a no-alcohol condition. He also moved to Alberta to work and became involved in a healthy relationship. His current girlfriend sat in the public gallery during his sentencing and wiped away tears as the hearing proceeded. “I’m sorry for the harm I caused,” Hoffman told the court. According to forensic and pre-sentence reports, Hoffman is unlikely to reoffend provided he continue to take counselling.

     

    He received a one-year conditional sentence, meaning he won’t serve any jail time as long as he follows the court’s orders.

     

    That includes more counselling, a year of probation to follow the conditional sentence and no drinking. Hoffman was also ordered to provide a DNA sample to the national police registry and his name is now on the national sex offender registry.

    I believe this is his drunk driving conviction:

  3. Lots of ways one can spin this story.  The Thais were 3 on a motobike.  But the Canadian has a history of drunk driving and attempted rape.

     

     

    Just four hours after Jason Hoffman arrived in Phuket, Thailand in mid-April, he was involved in a serious scooter accident.

    The Campbell River native, who now lives in Calgary, broke his leg and smashed his head in the crash. He later learned one of the three Thai nationals on the other scooter died, with the other two being sent to hospital.

    Many of the details of the accident are still unknown to Hoffman and his family, according to older brother Clinton Hoffman. Jason only remembers getting on a scooter, getting into a collision and waking up in hospital, Clinton tells Global News.

    Jason spent a few days convalescing in the hospital, where doctors operated on his leg, inserting a steel rod to stabilize his fractured femur. Then, Thai police showed up and transported him to prison.

    “I was very concerned, obviously, for his health and safety,” says Clinton. The family contacted The Department of Foreign Affairs, asking them to get involved in the case. Eventually, Jason was released from prison after his friend posted bail, and he is now recovering from his injuries at a hostel.

    Jason was told he must pay $100,000 in compensation for the accident, says Clinton, or else he could face prison and not be allowed to leave the country. The demand was made just days after the accident, before a complete investigation had occurred, he says.

    “The facts and figures were thrown together it seemed,” says Jason, who notes the family is not sure if the money is going directly to the victims, or to compensate police and pay for medical treatments. Jason didn’t have emergency medical insurance.

    “We really had no idea and no confidence to say what it was being used for.”

    The family held a private fundraiser to get the money together, and Clinton is currently selling off some of his brother’s possessions and some of his own. “My  brother literally has nothing to his name,” says Clinton. The family has also set up a crowdfunding site and Jason says it’s important to them to properly compensate the victims.

    “This is a terrible tragedy and while we do not feel it is right to put a price on such a awful thing or a life, we are banding together as a family to help raise the money,” it reads.

    The Department of Foreign Affairs has confirmed to Global News that they are aware of a Canadian injured in Thailand and are in contact with the family, providing consular assistance.

  4. It's not the Land of Smiles for everyone in Thailand. 

     

    RIP

     

     

     

    Two teenagers found in remote jungle near the site of a mass grave in Songkhla province yesterday revealed that at least 800 refugees were being held in the camp prior to its discovery by authorities.

     

    “Most of us have been beaten or abused … In the camp, we were never able to get enough food or water. Showering seldom happened.”

    The mass grave site was found in a clearing about 50 metres from the main camp, which police believe had been in operation for a “long time”.

  5. I highly recommend that you have your View New Content settings as presented in Post 5 (above).

     

    However, Invision is quite flexible and if you had no interest in the North America sub-Forum you could set it up so you don't see it when using the View New Content method.

     

    But there is a big downside to this in that once you filter out one Forum you are automatically filtering out all new sub forums created after that date.  New sub forums are being created continously as the need arises.  I think the last one was Ladyboy Contact Cebu.

     

    If you choose to eliminate from View New Content you might miss out on a new sub Forum that appeals to you.  If it's a sub-sub-Forum you may never even see it except for the View New Content method.

  6. Gotta be 56?

     

    Increasing by 2 every time.....

     

    It's interesting that we see what we want to see.  I also assumed that that the 9 was a 7 which would make the answer 56.

     

    But as Kahuna and Route 67 said the answer is 90.

     

    The two proposed methods of solving the problem are mathematically equivalent. 

  7. Speaking of The stooges, what was the law firm they always talked about??  When they mentioned a lawyer or law firm this was it name.  Cracks me up.....

    Not sure about the Stooges but Groucho mentioned the law firm, Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe.  They probably have already contributed to Hillary 2016.   :crazy:

  8. I had 54 days overstay in 2010. Paid 20 k at airport. It was business as usual to them

     Only 54 days how about two years.

     

    This guy must take lessons from  Mayweather

     

     

    A French expat wanted for beating his girlfriend was arrested and deported after immigration police discovered he had overstayed his visa by two years.

    Medhi Karim Draoui, 32, was captured by Pattaya police and Chonburi Immigration Office April 20. He’d been wanted on a warrant after his ex-girlfriend brought assault charges against him.

    Draoui said that he entered Thailand March 19, 2013 on a one-month passport visa exemption.

  9. One of the articles I read about this later was a bunch of music biz guys sitting around & discussing who should be in as well as who shouldn't have gotten in. ( Hello ABBA!)  Obviously this depends on your particular era & how sacrosanct you consider the HOF honor.

     

     

    I guess the first question is what's considered Rock and Roll?

     

    I thought Run DMC was pure Rap.

     

    But even if it's clear what genres qualify, what's the criteria?

     

    It should just be more than just who has the most inflation adjusted album (if that word is still used) sales.

  10. For only 600 baht a night you can stay a minute from the beach and morning, noon, and night encounters with beaufitul ladyboys are just a door knock away.  There are guys in Farangland who would pay 600 USD a night for that experience.

  11. Saw the following in a Facebook post by Kelly:

    Vancouver’s Jake Malone is looking for his long-lost love an ocean away.

     

    The lovelorn 60-year-old flew from Vancouver to Shenzhen, China, because of his infatuation with “RiLi,” a woman he met online 11 months ago.

     

    But searching for the love of his life in a city of 10 million is no easy task, and a desperate Malone has turned himself into a human billboard in a last-ditch bid to find his online love.

     

    “She is so beautiful,” Malone told the China Daily, saying he fell in love with RiLi at first sight of her photo.

     

    “Her smile is cute and soft.

     

    “I can tell how innocent her heart is by looking into her eyes. That innocence is what attracted me to her.”

     

    Malone’s quest has plucked heartstrings around the world. His saga has made headlines in England’s Daily Mail as well as the China Daily and People’s Daily Online.

     

    Malone’s arrival in Shenzhen was not the fairy tale meeting he had long envisioned.

     

    Instead, there was despair when he sought her out at the “clothing company” her online profile said she owned.

     

    When he turned up at the address listed for the company, he discovered it had been closed for years.

     

    Malone said he and RiLi (aka Rebecca) had never met, but had exchanged precisely 396 emails over the past 11 months.

     

    But Malone hinted the love may have been a little one-sided — he said RiLi was concerned that an in-person meeting might mess with the magic.

     

    Undeterred by her doubts, Malone booked a flight, and now marches the streets of Shenzhen with a billboard around his neck, bearing the photo he believes is RiLi, hoping she really is his true love.

     

    “Your Canadian love is looking for you,” read the twin signs, printed in Chinese characters, that he carries around in hope his love will soon appear.

     

    Though the woman he seeks hasn’t co-operated — at least not yet — Malone said he’s getting plenty of support from other locals.

     

    “People in Shenzhen are very friendly,” he said hopefully. “They took photos of me and put them online. I am very thankful for that.”

    With the signs draped around his neck, Malone takes up his lonely daily crusade at the giant, crowded Luohu KK Mall, eternally hopeful that RiLi will approach and declare her love.

     

    While some passersby caution him that RiLi may have just been looking for someone to talk to, Malone remains steadfast.

    “I believe in her,” he said emphatically.

     

    “I can feel from her letters that she loves me.”

     

    So smitten is Malone that he’s willing to give up his life in Vancouver if that’s what it takes.

     

    “I am afraid that she will not be able to get used to the Canadian life,” he conceded, “but I can adapt to her life in China.”

     

    As a Buddhist and a Tai Chi practitioner, Malone said, he has always been fascinated with Chinese culture and visited the country in 1987.

     

    And though RiLi speaks no English, Malone believes love can break the language barrier.

     

    If his love comes calling, Malone believes his interest in the Orient will set him up for a new life in China.

     

    “I can be an English or tai chi teacher, since I have been doing that in Vancouver.”

  13. Great website!     :party0011: :party0011: :party0011:

     

    I see Sindy is listed as a Manager.

     

    Is this a new promotion or has she always been a Manager?

     

    At any rate, I'd much rather be in the locker room with Sindy than with Sir Alex. :db:

  14. Great news for sex tourists as all major currencies advanced against the baht this afternoon after the BOT cut interest rates in a surprise announcement.

     

    http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=THB%3DX+Interactive#

     

     

     

    BANGKOK--Thailand's central bank surprised the market with another interest-rate cut due to a slower-than-expected economic recovery.

     

    The Bank of Thailand's monetary policy committee members voted 5-2 Wednesday to cut the one-day repurchase rate, the bank's benchmark interest rate, by 0.25 percentage point to 1.5%.

     

    The decision comes after another surprise 0.25 percentage-point cut in March.

     

    "The economic recovery appears to be recovering at a slower pace than estimated at the previous meeting," said Mathee Supapongse, the MPC secretary. "[This is] in spite of higher government budget disbursement and an improved outlook of the tourism industry which have been inadequate to offset much-weaker-than-expected exports and private consumption in the first quarter of 2015."

     

    The central bank also noted that Thailand's exports face higher risks from an economic slowdown in China and lower imports by major trading partners, as well as pressure from the relatively strong Thai baht.

     

    Mr. Mathee added that most members of the rate-setting committee believed policy should be relaxed further to support the economic recovery when downside risks are rising.

     

    The latest rate cut was against a near-consensus call of an unchanged rate by 18 economists polled by The Wall Street Journal.

  15.  

     

    And for ladyboys, much has changed as well. Who can ever forget the evocative but condescending descriptions of them in Graham Greene's The Quiet American? And they howled about the streets through the 1990s and even early 2000s. Nowadays, contact with them is much more subtle, more to do with new social media & the internet. No surprises there, I suppose.

     

     

     

    I forget.  Ladyboys weren't on my radar when I read it back in high school.

     

    So ladyboys are less accepted in Vietnam now than they were 20 years ago?  That seems to buck a worldwide trend. I am assuming this is due to a government crackdown on street prostitution?

     

    As for the war, from an American perspective, too many young people killed for what?  Communist Vietnam turned out just fine or so it seems.

  16. This is the Ladyboy XXX promotional thread.  If you have pics of ladyboys on other sites we are affiliated with then please post the pics on those threads.  If you join a Grooby (Ladyboy-Ladyboy, Ladyboy XXX, Shemale Japan) etc. or Island (LadyboyGold etc.) site please use our links as this helps Ladyboy Review pay its bills.    :hi:
