And put an reward on him, 10.000 GBP or such, present that in the Thai-News, once a week, that will flush him out quickly!

The despair I feel for this young lady, I cannot put into words, how the hell did he get let go has dumbfounded me.

There must be several gangs over here that would take care of this person on a permanent basis, after they've had their fun with him of course I'm all for a bit of vigilante revenge on scum like him!

Pretty sure if the Thai authorities REALLY wanted to help out they could find this guy very quickly. Maybe the UK government should post a reward, money seems to be the only thing that motivates the Thai Police!

Think the Thai authorities already have knowledge of him and whereabouts, when the 'all important'  financial incentive, baht, comes a knocking, (or a political embarrassment eventuates) then he will be picked up immediately, until then, they wait and watch.

TOO many BIG brown suitcases there.  (the paper bags weren't big enough.)

Immigration has his fingerprints and a recent photo from his entry. Like everyone else here, I know that if immigration wanted him, he could be found in a day or so.

Be an ugly one if they didn't spend at least US$5 million on plastic.

Be easy to find if they didn't, just look for a chinless wonder. 

Been all over Thailand and he is the only one I have ever seen here.
