Amerikaanse toeriste 6 maanden jail voor shoplifting van thaise souvenirwinkel
Recent verscheen dit op o.a. TV (Thai Visa) en de Huftingtonpost, namely een Amerikaanse die tijdens haar reis in Thailand opgepakt werd voor shoplifting van een souvenir. 6 maanden moest ze brommen. Zo zie je maar hoe men er in die landen niet mee lacht. Bad girls worden er gestraft en ik geef ze geen ongelijk. Westerlingen denken namelijk nogal rap dat ze alles mogen especially in Asia. Wel nee, niet alles mag er zomaar. Duh.

I Spent 6 Months In A Thai Prison For Shoplifting. Here’s How It Changed My Life

This name card was given to Emilia Semrau when she arrived at the prison in Mae Hong Son, Thailand. During her incarceration she placed the card on top of her bedding each morning to reserve her sleeping spot. The card states her crime (theft), her age (25) and the length of her sentence (6 months).
I left my home in Olympia, Washington, in January 2018 to undertake a two-year global journey I hoped would help me to discover more about the world and, subsequently, myself. I had just divorced a wonderful man ? and the equally wonderful life that came with him ? after being married for six years.
I left everything I knew ? and anything I couldn’t fit into a 60-liter backpack ? because I realized my true path was to travel by myself and share my knowledge of yoga and holistic health. I booked a ticket to my first destination, Thailand, and as I flew towards my new life, I was full of faith in the unknown and I trusted that I was honoring my true path. Little did I know that one unwise decision would radically change my perspective on everything I thought I knew about myself and who I am.
It was 2:00 in the afternoon on a Friday during the first week of my adventure and I was in Pai, a bustling hippie tourist hub located in northern Thailand. I entered a shop I hadn’t noticed before during my four days in town. Its doorway was covered with a vibrant silk cloth and its interior revealed shelves stacked with handmade jewelry and leather goods. The displays were beautiful and obviously tended to with great care.

May she have seen the light :roll::roll:
Persoonlijk vind ik dat ze best nog wat extra maandjes had mogen vastzitten.
Discuss please, thanks. |
