ON ACCOUNT OF A ‘NOT A VERY NICE GUY’
Thaivisa.com but I’m guessing they do not have one as I have seen this forum
promote so many libels over the years – many from angry Brits –that I am
guessing one day its going to come back at them.

Walter Douglas the ‘innocent man’ who is regarded by many police forces to have
been a major drugs trafficker and who is now living in Koh Samui.

it through their lawyers.
The story which appeared was actually a much stronger one than
the one which was sent. Although the interview was true enough it was presented
to the British public that Walter ‘Whacky’ Douglas was a man taunting to the
police as in ‘You can’t catch me!’

are of course very good mind readers, went with that headline.

in Koh Samui is to taunt the police.

Douglas was accused of, but which police and the courts later found that he did not

That link was deleted. Thaivisa did not want to inform its readers. I complained. Is Thaivisa now banning

Now in the interests of fair play – and even though I did

then I never said he was taunting the police. ThaiVisa cannot argue the point as they do not have a clue as to what the story is about. Its just there to gain hits. I have no concern about providing
links to Thaivisa here. Here it is. But knowing ThaiVisa and Walter Douglas it may not be there for long.
19.42 PM: I have received this further message from Rooo: ‘You have been warned’
Oh dear, another internet warrior.
BUT NOW I SEE THAIVISA.COM HAS RE-INSTATED THE LINK TO WIKIPEDIA BUT, ER, THE THREAD HAS BEEN LOCKED, A NORMAL TV GET OUT
George Anderssen will almost certainly have to block me. Every time I comment on a thread they have to close it down.
