Drew Noyes V Andrew Drummond, Great Reading. Thailand.

I have been having a lot of fun of late reading about a foreigner living in Pattaya, who seems to be a huge scam artist from what I have read the last few days.

It all started when I was reading a website I really like called Pattaya Days. It is written by Spike who is quick witted very funny. He is also an excellent photographer and his site has a broad range of pictures when polo isn’t being played.

Spike shows that people do live normally in what most see as the seedy seaside city of Pattaya, full of go-go bars and corruption. Spike and his wife go about their days as normal folk do across the world every day.

Anyway, I am going off track here. Spike posted a blog titled, “More Noyes noise”

It was a funny piece about his wife finding him a job but he is happily retired. It was a position as editor for Pattaya Times Newspaper. The owner of this paper is Drew Noyes. And Spike had found some very interesting things to read about Drew Noyes at AndrewDrummond.com who is a very thorough journalist and leaves no stones unturned and is not scared of going after so called “big fish.”

Drew Noyes has threatened Andrew Drummond and his family, and at times Noyes comes across as bizarre.

Here are some links to Andrew’s site and some articles about Mr. Noyes.

Back on January 28th 2010 Drummond wrote a story “Ouch! First Salvo In Pattaya Newspaper War?”

It was about the owners of the English newspapers making accusations about each other and a very good read.

Then on July 18th 2010 Drummond published, “Peace Breaks Out in Pattaya – No War Say Media Barons”

This is also a good read.

But then it gets saucy. On August 26th 2011 Drummond published this, “Publisher Skips Father Christmas Libel Hearing For Judges Roadshow.”

It is about Noyes and his no show at a court hearing on a libel suit after Noyes claimed a well-known Dutchman in the Pattaya was wanted for drugs trafficking.

Apparently Noyes had to ‘Insight into the Criminal Proceedings for Foreigners in Thailand,” instead.

It also covers many of Noyes claims that seem to always turn out to be a little farfetched. He continually amends ads and other claims as he is challenged. All interesting reading.

But one very interesting part was a story he did called “Thailand’s Pornography Trade..Going..Going..Bong.”

Here he writes about well known porn producer American Tony Poer (I had never heard of him until reading this) He is one of the sex tourists that pray on upcountry Thai girls and video them and degrade them and post their images all over the WWW.

Tony Poer was arrested. They raided his apartment and found drugs, a loaded gun and an out of date Thai visa. Plus all his equipment for making pornography which is also illegal.

Then the story gets interesting as one paper claimed, “He faced 20 years in jail.” But apparently within 24hrs he was back on the streets and could be there today.

Apparently Mr. Noyes and his company of lawyers secured bail for Poer of only 200,000 baht.

Then all the newspaper articles relating to Poer’s arrest disappeared. One paper simply said “all newspapers were asked to remove online references to Poer.”

A good read the whole article.

Then on September 9th 2011 it gets more interesting. Drummond has excelled. “EXPOSED - Myriad Lies - An American Businessman - And Influential People”

An excellent read and goes back to a story in 1995 where Noyes gets himself into hot water back in the states and a myriad or lies just continue on and on.

And the articles just keep coming and they get better and better with more facts that just seem to dig a bigger hole for Noyes.

September 12th 2011, “The Strange Tale of Drew Noyes And The Icelandic Welsh Scot.”

A must read as things get interesting.

And it gets better, September 21st 2011, “US Charity Withdraws Charter For Its Thailand Branch - Outlook Pessimistic.”

And this is a diamond and you have to read. “EXPOSED - HOW AN AMERICAN BUSINESSMAN SOLD GOVT HOMES FOR THE POOR IN THAILAND.”

I couldn’t believe what I read and reread the story a few times. Is Noyes really this much of a fraudster? All these investors that have been ripped off cannot be lying.

It is in this article that Noyes becomes bizarre with a threat of “stop stalking and defaming him, and remove all references to him and his companies or he will talk to “influential people” and ask them to do whatever to stop all this once and for all.”

Then another ripper of an article, “Read All About It - The Great Thai Newspaper Fraud.”

Here Drummond reveals articles stolen in full form other publications and used in Pattaya Times, Noyes’s newspaper. They have been lifted word for word and a new name attached in most cases. Absolutely hilarious.

And totally bizarre is when Noyes prints in The Pattaya Times, Andrew Drummond Sought By Police on the 07/10/2011.

And then today was a ripper when Drummond posted, “Pattaya Publisher Wanted Me As His Mistress - When I refused He Slashed My Salary.”

This goes into two Filipina girls who were showered with promises and came to work for Noyes and it all turned to crap, again a great read.

I won’t go into all the other things I have read on social networking sites and the likes of Teak Door that who is referred to by Andrew as Eric or aka Dirty Dog. Dirty Dog seems to be rabid at times and some of his rants are bewildering and leaving you wondering if he is all there.

All I can say is this has been great reading, I have had hours of fun and look forward as I am sure there is so much more to come. I can only ask that if anyone has information or complaints in dealing with Drew Noyes send them onto Andrew Drummond as I am sure he would appreciate them.

Great reporting Andrew and I look forward of more to come.
