Here is an email I have just received from a very good friend in UK it surely must act as a warning to others to be on the look out for the CCTVs that are springing up in all sorts of bars i know I will never have one installed
Hi Mate nice to see you but it will be the last time as I had a big problem going home. Via the internet, I discovered a few bars that had streaming web cams. I wanted to show off a bit to my mates back home, so I arranged a time for them to view me in the bars getting pissed and frolicking with all the pretty birds. I made sure I “hammed it up” with the ladies right in front of the web cams. That was the biggest mistake I’ve made in my life, and at the time, I had no clue. Here’s what happened.
All went well during my trips to Bangkok and Pattaya, but the problems all started at the new airport whence leaving for home. I arrived at the exit visa desk, and I was soon escorted by three Thai police to a private and strange room. They kept me in the room for almost an hour asking me all sorts of personal questions about my holiday in Thailand.
They queried me about where I had visited; which bars I had patronized; which girls I had brought back to my hotel room; and more silly questions. I gave all very honest and forthright answers, since I knew I had done absolutely nothing wrong.
Then, the three police took me to some official who took my passport and stamped it with the wording”persona non gratis Thailand” (in Thai) Then, I was taken into some horrible holding cell for several hours. After that I was escorted to my flight and sent home.
Upon arrival back into the UK, customs did a complete search of me, my camera, laptop, everything. This searching took most of the day, and finally I was released.
Then it gets much, much worse. Two days later the police arrived at my place of employment with a search warrant and seized my work computer and all my external hard drives. Trying to explain to my employer what this was all about was a major challenge and disaster, and I was soon relieved of my job.
Then, the police arrived at my flat with a search warrant and examined the entire contents of the flat. They seized my computer, and to this day it hasn’t been yet returned. I was then escorted to the local cop shop for further questioning about my Thailand holiday.
