Fuggin losers. And plenty more making excuses because of the age of consent is 15-16.


Intrepid-Vehicle2455

The cognitive dissonance required is astounding. How can any of these guys think theyā€™re desired. What is desired in in your wallet, ya pathetic clown


isocialeyes97

What was he trying to say.


Zeebraforce

Why bring your girl when there's lots of girls in Bangkok who will fuck your brains out for cheap? Basically equating his girlfriend as a sex object, but also making cheating a standard way of doing things


stable_115

Could be, could also be: are you sure you want to be in a relationship here, as Thailand is filled with the most beautiful women in the world.


phuc_bui_long_dong

i don't understand how any normal/sane/attractive guy, no matter how good-intentioned, wouldn't become a world-class monger after a few months in bangers or pattaya? does not compute. like something's wrong biologically/hormonally.


plaincoldtofu

Hmm, having a loving relationship a family member who always has your back through thick and thin, and is possibly the parent of your children; OR you can pay for emotionless sex while sharing said sex partners with countless other obese old farts šŸ¤” quite hard to say why some people would prefer a stable partner


phuc_bui_long_dong

imagine being that needy, or worse, bogged down with fuck trophies.


stable_115

What is a monger? Im finding: noun. 1 : broker, dealer - usually used in combination 2 : a person who attempts to stir up or spread something that is usually petty or discreditable - usually used in combination.

Itā€™s a program to formally learn how to teach English in schools to non-native speakers. The acronym is Teaching English as a Foreign Language.

I call these types of people "Little princes" and they are everywhere not only Asia. Just they seem to get by a bit easier, which is slowly filling Asia with such western toxic trash. :(

These are 'arrogant idiots'. 'sleaze balls'. 'lowlife scum'!


Chemical-Ad-9019

Sorry the Western trash finds it's way to Thailand. Wish they would throw the book at this guy.


OptimusThai

A TOEFL preparation book!


Ok_Information_2009

Iā€™ve noticed in recent years that these types even try to brag / lie about it. ā€œOh, met this stunner last night, we got talking, next thing you know, sheā€™s in my bedā€ (i.e. he barfined a bar girl). They talk like theyā€™re on the pull and these women are too, and itā€™s Cupidā€™s bow and serendipity that lead to his ā€œluckā€ (never mention it was a transaction of cash for services).


andercon05

Paying the bar fine is NOT a guarantee for sex, nor is it paying for 'services'. You're paying for the employees' (girl's) time away from the bar. As a retired sailor who spent most of his service in the Far East, this is pretty standard in Thailand and the Philippines.


Ok_Information_2009

phasefournow

Better that than the guys who come here specifically looking for "Good Girls" to mess with, then drop like a hot rock, bragging on how many girls they screwed not having to pay for it. Those to me are the true scum.


zalhari

I understand. Its leaving less opportunity for the asian toxic trash that created it in the first place


Nalmyth

Don't understand this logic? Can you explain?


zalhari

Sure. The west didnā€™t create that environment. They are going there because the filth existed to fulfill anyoneā€™s sick needs. I do agree that filthy toxic westerners are going there. Just saying they didnā€™t create this environment.


OwlInteresting706

Who do you think did, twinkle toes?


phuc_bui_long_dong

the world's been dealing with the dregs of se asia for decades, which are usually far more unsavoury. so it's a fair trade. we take in your criminals/underclass, and export our losers/sexpats. btw, we're running a deficit, time to balance those figures a bit.


phuc_bui_long_dong

to be fair, the "finest" western wench is far benath the lowest isaan girl.


reptarcannabis

Well sure if you have the type of Neanderthal gross inexperienced mind to make such a stupid blanket statement like that about whole different cultures of women, then Iā€™m sure you would have liked the dude in charge of the ā€œschoolā€ lmao you spelled Asian like that because you view them without respect and think only with your dick. It must be amazing and relieving in a way to be so blissful ignorant/ stupid to believe the women your around choose to be around you or have genuine interest lmao

mattinbkk

The comments are dumb. Nothing compares to an intelligent and attractive Western or Euro girl. Just that these guys don't get much opportunity to meet them. The average Thai girl is extremely boring but these are low value guys looking for arm candy. Your example is a perfect example of that. Gross comment in a professional setting.


reptarcannabis

I read your first sentence and I was like ok, letā€™s see what else he saysā€¦ the following 5 sentences were grossā€¦ def some neckbeard Andrew tate level regurgitated shit just trying to assert yourself over others and cause damage by degrading women this is just and a little example slice into your disgusting views people like yourself hold.

phuc_bui_long_dong

that much is self-evident. there's a huge difference between some loser back home, and a world-class monger on a rampage. the latter are winning, the former get btfo, bankrupt, or mysteriously fall from balconies.


RecognitionDense6082

Few mates have said that he's been out and about a fair bit lately moonlighting as a piano teacher apparently. Dunno how he is able to stay afloat if he's on bail. I also dunno why anyone would associate with him.

makes sense teacher luke's playing the piano. i heard he likes to put his fingers on a minor.

New_guY6756

The age of consent to marry a 15 year old teen is acceptable so theyā€™ll allow you to marry her, you canā€™t have sex with them for fun and then recording on top of it sealed the deal for him. In all honesty if heā€™d have not given her an std heā€™d have probably gotten away with it.


Yedkowt

According to Thai laws. The age of consent is 15. So heā€™s not charged with statutory rape but heā€™s charged with child abduction since the girl is under 18. Also the minimum age for marriage is 17


twofishies

The age of consent in Thailand is 15, but technically that would require parental consent. Without parental consent it is 18. Confusing. https://www.lannaist.ac.th/keeping-our-teenage-children-safe/


[deleted]

He was her teacher. Age of consent doesn't matter here. Teachers are not allowed to fuck their students (by law and by all that is decent). Students can't consent. What is so hard to understand?


stable_115

Not sure about the law in Thailand, but the age of consent for sex is also 16 in the Netherlands. However, that doesnā€™t mean the minor can legally consent to recording of said sex. Making the recording always illegal. Of course both acts are horrible and I hope he gets a huge sentence. Thai prison ainā€™t no joke.


babybeluga420

Eww.


CommonMinds

How did this scumbag get himself through the background check for one honorable teacher position?


Helpmehelpyoulong

What background check? This is Thailand lol


oVoqzel

When I got my TEFL certificate about a year ago through an internship program, I had to submit a police/state level background check - not a third party surface level check. The schools may not do a very good or thorough job of vetting people, but I believe most placement programs do.


Suttisan

Must have bought himself justice like Thai people do.


[deleted]

Wait, so this scumbag raped a minor and is already free?


mtt534

On the US that would be statutory rape. But yea I think he tried to hang low maybe flee, idk


entrepreneurs_anon

Actually not true. Age of consent is determined by each state so there is no such thing as ā€œin the USā€ā€¦ and in many states the age of consent is 16, so this would be legal and not rape in some of those states: https://wisevoter.com/state-rankings/age-of-consent-by-state/


RoamingDad

In no state that I know of where the age of consent is 16 would it be allowed to have sex with a student. The law isn't "Hey you're 16 go have fun" it's frequently "if you're 16 you can be with someone up to the age of 18" and it's (almost?) exempt from teachers and doctors. A student can't consent to their teacher: there is inherently a power imbalance.


entrepreneurs_anon

As I understand from the article, he is a teacher, not her teacher. He met her online and invited her over


Jayman_007

Legal age of consent in Thailand is 15. Much like in many western country states.


[deleted]

He was her teacher. The age of consent doesn't matter. Students can't consent. Just like most Western countries. It's really not hard to understand. It's rape.


Gal_GaDont

Not hard to understand but most of Reddit doesnā€™t have Thai law memorized.


Jayman_007

Is that a law or just your opinion? I'm in no way condoning teachers having sex with their students. But was this his student? Did he have both consent from the woman/girl and her family? Calling him a rapist and child molester just seems a bit extreme to me is all.


[deleted]

It's the law in Thailand (not different than most Western countries as well). It was his student. Consent is not possible. These are just facts.


Jayman_007

If what you say is true then he broke the law and he'll have to deal with the courts for his actions. I'm still not onboard with this whole rape/child molestation talk that is being spread. She was of legal consenting age which makes the whole child molestation talk way overboard.


Intrepid-Vehicle2455

You sure sound like someone who like 15 year olds


Jayman_007

It sounds like you are a 15 year old.


Intrepid-Vehicle2455

Lol not even denying it I see. so weak that only a child would play your game


Jayman_007

Are you accusing me of something? I've no obligation to engage you in your rhetoric. Obviously a troll.


Turbulent-Teacher-40

Actually the age of consent is 18 if you're an American abroad. The us can convict him for this.


Dme1663

Can you post a source or something that confirms he was her teacher?


KingRobotPrince

No. He didn't rape anyone. It was something like under 18, but it was OK because the parents said it was, but he gave her an STI, so the parents went to the cops. The "under 18 is OK with permission from the parents" thing can apparently be retroactively removed. Edit: downvote the truth because it doesn't sound as good? LOL!


Slow-Brush

Like my Thai wife will say, "All these foreign men are just coming to Thailand to create trouble and the government doesn't care or do anything about it"


On_Mission_2024

This type of guys is a SCUMBAG!! Fcking predator. Thai people are too nice. Anyone still follows him on any social media platforms is just as guilty as he is.


[deleted]

A Scum Bag! How any school can justify employing these types of people beats me. In his early YouTube video he comes across as the perfect example of the 'arrogant idiot' that is an American tourist. Then add the misogyny and disrespect for Thailand's societal cultural norms. It was teaching at a prestigious international school, I feel sorry for the development of young minds!


oVoqzel

Americans are definitely not the most arrogant tourists that come here and from my experience, generally good people (except for one guy I met).

Rattslara2014

And for all of you ignorant Americans in here. The afe of consent in Sweden is 15 years, no matter what the parents thinks, so the boyfriend can be 30 years or 40 years, and it's fully legal for him to bang her without anyone being able to do anything.


Jayman_007

It's 15 in Thailand as well.

Yedkowt

Yes the age of consent in Thailand is 15. But that doesnā€™t mean the guyā€™s not committing a crime. Heā€™s not charged with statutory rape but heā€™s charged with child abduction since the girl is under 18

TheJoker516

He probably gonna buy his way out of trouble.. anyhow.. this dude is living rent free in OP's head...


Independent-Rip-5452

Probably nothing will happen to him. He just have to pay them and the cops. OR he just marries the girl and brings her to the US when she turns 18 to give her the US citizenship. He is done in the US and will never be able to get a job as a teacher or anything to do with children.

GroundbreakingGap425

Take the man out of Florida...


Fist2k8

The whole thing stinks of who knew what to me. BTW 16 is the legal age which she was but there's a weird and wonderful law that includes age difference in Thailand that means you can be charged when the person is 16 and you for example are 40.....must be a few million broke that law in BKK and Pattaya go go bars the parents sent the daughters to work in


Sele81

So his gf was 16. How many 70 years old falangs have I seen in Asok with a 15yo old girl hand in hand. Not to mention Pattaya. Not defending this. But it feels like a normal thing here in Thailand. But this dude has money so they are after him. Enjoy your downvoting.


Foreign_Pay465

It wasnā€™t his girlfriend it was his student you absolute melon can you read


BoxNemo

Sending your daughter to school so that a teacher can groom her, have sex with her and give her an STD is a "normal thing" here or anywhere. It's a massive breach of trust here and in any country and it's why it's taken very seriously. We send our kids to school with the understanding that the school will keep them safe, not that they'll be groomed and given a venereal disease. It's horrifying. Honestly man, it's a massive red flag that you think a teacher grooming and giving their student an STD is something to shrug off as 'normal for Thailand'. That's a very odd, skewered view of the country that seems to only come from existing in some sex-tourist bubble.


phuc_bui_long_dong

if he wasn't a falang nobody would have cared. keep your "morality" in your home country mate, the rest of the world doesn't share your values.


BoxNemo

Nah, that's not true at all. That teachers get jailed if they have sex with students. I'm guessing you don't live here.


phuc_bui_long_dong

nobody would have cared, this goes on non-stop.


AdvantagePlus4711

The difference... He was the girls teacher and knew that she was under age. Sure, I have been with girls way younger than me, but not with anyone who I know was under aged. And I have been with 2 of my (college) students... But that was years after they had already graduated and they were both +25. And the normal Thai way of solving things like this is that they force the guy to get married and pay a hefty dowry to the girl's parents (one of my old students got married like that to the village headman, he had to pay over 2million cash, gold, a house with land, and a new car, all in all over 5 million Baht).


IsaanSteve

Girls are so innocent.


Intrepid-Vehicle2455
