BUT SENTENCE SUSPENDED BECAUSE SHE HAD BEEN A GOOD GIRL (before Drew)
The Secretary of the Lions Club of Bangkok (310D Silom) and former hostess at the Buffalo Bar in Pattaya has been given a one year prison sentence and fined 10,000 Thai baht by Pattaya Court for libeling an assistant to foreign correspondent Andrew Drummond, owner of this site.
Kanokrat Nimsamoot Booth had taken cases against both Drew Noyes and Warichaya Pharawet after allegations appeared on her Facebook page and Google+ defaming her in a manner which took the form of a vendetta. Noyes had been acquitted at an earlier hearing.
It was abundantly clear to many that Noyes was the man behind the false allegations, which included an allegation that Drummond, who conducts investigations against foreign criminals in Thailand, was Ms. Kanokrat’s boyfriend,
Ms. Warichaya was previosuly not known to either Ms. Kanokrat or Andrew Drummond.
#DrewNoyes was involved in an active internet campaign against Andrew Drummond who had exposed his murky past in the United States and published complaints from foreigners who had been cheated in Thailand.
But the Pattaya court earlier had acquitted Noyes of involvement and Warichya was left to face the charges alone. Noyes had published pictures of himself dining with Pattaya Court judges and had announced he was writing a book with the Chief Judge of Chonburi.

Other allegations were made against Ms.Kanokrat in relation to her former husband, and even a false web page (purporting to have been made by the husband) appeared on the net – Noyes is notorious for creating web pages against his enemies and other victims have included old colleagues on the Pattaya City Expats Club,
The court on Monday took into account that Ms. Warichya – known as ‘Naam’ had no previous criminal history. The sentence was suspended for two years.
Currently their relationship is understood to be tenuous. Noyes repeats publicly that his wife is Wanrapa Boonsu, the mother of three of his nine Thai children by different mothers, although they have not formally registered their marriage.
Drew Noyes is currently on bail appealing a conviction for extortion and two year jail sentence with Wanrapa Boonsu.
He has announced he is leaving Thailand next Tuesday August 4th and if so may of course have no plan to return as, he has claimed, Thailand does not appreciate his talents.

At a libel case which he lost against the owner of this site – who published a picture of Niels Colov, leader of Pattaya Police Foreign Assistants and CEO of Pattaya People Media, under the caption ‘ Been to Jail’ together with Drew Noyes and #WanrapaBoonsu under the caption ‘Going to Jail’ Noyes was insistent.
“I have never been to jail and I am NEVER going to jail,” he told the court
.
Noyes was being economic with the truth – just like his false biography. In fact he has felony convictions in the United States and has indeed served time, as has Brian Goudie, who was jailed for six years in Australia for fraud.

Recently the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the Department of Homeland Security) have been involved in enquiries about Noyes who claims on the internet to have ‘FBI clearance’.
This may indicate that they would be willing to quickly extradite Noyes in the event he skipped bail.
But a number of people in various states, notably Florida, Nevada, California and North Carolina also have interests in getting Noyes into court across the pond.
In the United States he has also been accused of widespread property fraud, dodgy share dealing, and sexual harassment.
He was of course the subject of an investigation by Scott Gold, then of the Wilmington Morning Star, in North Carolina, in which he was described as a man of ‘myriad lies’.
BRIAN GOUDIE TAKES A FALL
In a separate development; a civil case for damages brought against Brian Goudie a fake lawyer from Falkirk, Scotland, who teamed up with Noyes and David Hanks, former owner of the Masquerades brothel in Keysborough, Melbourne, (AUS) in an attempt to close down this site, was again adjourned in Bangkok after Goudie’s lawyer failed to turn up.
(It is believed she had ditched both Goudie and David Hanks, Goudie’s Scottish team mate some time ago).
Goudie made an appearance and told the court that his lawyer was involved in another case. He had come to the court despite recently falling down a set of stairs, he said.
It may well be that Goudie expected the case to be dropped as the plaintiff Ally Cooper, an oil worker, received the following message in an email shortly afterwards. Its understood that Cooper was in an email exchange with Goudie in which he had promised to drop all cases and sue his legal representative for wasting his money.

“Sorry Hanks and I just cant believe you now.
X* and Y turned up today at Court and X swore blind her Power of Attorney has not been cancelled, and there has been no demand from you to return money, and no threat of a prosecution for fraud.
Also, the Court wants this case settled, but at this stage if it cant be Hanks and I have no choice but to retaliate by filing counter cases for your FB and G!, which have all been printed off.
By the way you cant file a case in Thailand claiming an address in Thailand, and then claim you cant be prosceuted in Thailand because you have no address here.
So, either Hanks, you and me file an agreement on 17th August that we dont want to make any more cases and want to withdraw all current cases, and all of the writing on the internet stops or alternatively we get on and go to Court, and a whole new swathe of cases will be filed against you.
By the way * will be summonsed to confirm your contract expired, not that you were fired, we will summons immigration, Thai Revenue Department and anybody else we can think of to show you don’t live in Thailand if we have to.
We know your name being in Google is hurting you in the industry, so the last thing you need is new posts right?
So, do we get written confirmation you have fired X- or do we start preparing Court docs?
Over to you. Your response to this email will determine my next move.
The case was adjourned until August 17.
.
Prior to then however Goudie will have to face court in Pattaya in two criminal fraud cases and Hanks faces judgment in August on a racketeering case brought against him by the Department of Special Investigations. And of course a bankruptcy hearing has been held and his bankruptcy as well as his fraudulent company, Alba Laws, and chief Thai shareholder will be formally held to account. Bankrupt foreigners are automatically deported.
Footnote: I am not sure if Goudie has noticed their irony of threatening to post more malicious rubbish about the plaintiff in the middle of a trial in which he is basically being accused of being an ‘internet warrior’.
Noyes has been convicted of a criminal offence in Thailand and until such time as the Appeal Court hears his appeal, the conviction stands.
He should not be allowed to leave Thailand (legally) until the legal process has run it's course, unless the Court rules otherwise.
This is what would happen in any civilized jurisdiction.
Why is the Thai legal system so screwed up?
When I read articles like this, it reminds me that Thailand has inherited too many degenerates that live in the Banana Republic. If the country had any respectability at all, then these foreigners which I'm sure taint the reputation of law abiding, decent expats that do work hard in the country, should be immediately deported. This would send a clear message to the world, that the law will be applied if you break it, and that such unsocial behaviour will not be tolerated.
Holy knows there are enough problems in Thailand without demented expats adding to the pot.
I no longer have any doubts that it is precisely the type of people like Noyes and Goudie Thai officials welcome with open arms. Law abiding, " decent" expats do not pay the all- important, under the table monies that grease the corruption wheel. Just look at the brothel industries for example, completely illegal yet a real earner in the urban economies in which not one baht is taxed for the public welfare. Societies that care about justice, and people's welfare legalize such practices and govern them accordingly. Thailand does neither.
At least in Thailand you know the police are corrupt .wherr as in the UK you dont know until you read of their convictions which seems to fill newspapers everyday. The Government paedophile rings. The corrupt police caught on camera trying to ruin a respectable guys career. Spying on e mails etc etc. Corruption is not just a Thai thing.
Yes indeed, it's everywhere. Corruption is rampant wherever people of a certain ilk and money cross dubious paths – and it has always been thus.
I would guess that Noyes has a slightly higher IQ than Goldie-Goudie. We're talking minute fractions here..that's about all we'd agree on..
In the old days Noyes would be placed in the "Moron" category ..and Goudie just a tad lower at "Idiot." But of course those are generally politically incorrect labels these days.
Maybe those two nouns should be re-instated in select cases – for two hopeless, inveterate losers named Drew Noyes and Brian Goudie.
Signed,
"If the shoe fits"
Sounds like Goldie is trying sue for peace…
How can Noyes be allowed to leave Thailand on August 4th when he is on a conviction for extortion appeal? Hasn't his passport been confiscated?
Tier-three country. Not even on the watch list.
A question I raised on 29 July above.
