Read about it a couple of months ago. She then tried to go on holiday to USA and got refused entry hahaha! Link -------------------- My Travelogue Rich

Explorer Group: Local Expert Posts: 122 Joined: 23-August 06 Member No.: 14046	the real issue wasnt even the bar mat. the police were asking her to please stop and to just give them the mat back and thats when she took off running down the beach. the police apprehended her at which point she began throwing racial slurs towards the police. the police being of short temper for dumb ass drunks arrested her and took her to the police station at which point she tries to bribe them because "that is how things work in thailand" (her words). she keeps berating the cops and then the cops superiors. long story short she could have gotten off with a little wrist slap had she just given the mat back with an apology (even if it was half assed). the fact that she's not allowed to travel to the u.s. is just awesome.....dumb S*$# head should not be allowed out of their own country -------------------- http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog/neali...d2006/tpod.html
