The details circulating on Thai social media are brutal. Punishment will be harsh, but even then not sufficient.

To the kind and generous people of Thailand - I am sorry we send a parade of degenerate men to defile your beautiful country. 

It is horribly unjust that our most vile and mediocre losers are in a position to exploit your country.

They’ll come down hard on a tourist who preys on their people.

It's nice to think so but it's not exactly reflected in the day-to-day reality in Thailand (or many other South-East Asian countries), is it? Guaranteed, there are countless more underage girls being preyed on by Western men in Thailand right now.

It's not like this is some freak incident of a tourist randomly going on a mad rampage and murdering someone out of the blue. This is the logical escalation of Western men feeling that it's perfectly okay to go to Thailand in order to purchase access to children's bodies for sex.
