Again the hotel will not suffer, the warning is that negative reviews may result in prosecution in Thailand it does not mention the hotel in question. Since all the bad reviews he posted were removed their website reputation remains the same as before the incident
I hope they do the same as TripAdvisor but in this case maybe they don't have the integrity to stand by their beliefs that good or bad reviews should stand even in corrupt vindictive places
The public should be allowed to decide without the owner resorting to an archaic gagging law requiring the participation of a corrupt police and judiciary to silence any response
Hope this goes international as these actions are appalling and any business that resort's to these tactics deserves their time in the spotlight!!

It does for Seaview Koh Chang the warning is there to this day on TripAdvisor. They have changed the name to Sylvan but it is the same place and like me many know this and take our business elsewhere, reap what you sow!

JosephBloggs explained it correctly. The violent and dangerous bully needed to be reined in and this was the quickest way to do it resulting in his deportation back to America. The hotel will recover it's reputation since those people who stayed previously know that he lied. He had to be stopped.
The hotel in Koh Chang has not recovered it's reputation in fact it's had to change it's name and myself and possibly others refuse to go there to this day. It will recover one day when everyone forgets or dies but the TripAdvisor warning is there for all to see. Reap the whirlwind bullies who think a negative review needs jail time cos I won't forget any time soon!!
I have not seen the restaurant reviews for the OP and have never been there but the one and only place I have been a guest who have gone down this route are on my blacklist for ever. I hope there's others who do know the resteraunt bullies who take similar action as their actions can never be right

The hotel guy did get arrested for leaving a review. That's literally what he was charged with, defamation. I don't dispute that he was belligerent. Arrest him for belligerence then. But any business is going to get some disruptive customers and unfair reviews. It's the nature of Google and Yelp. There is no way that it's justified to put someone in jail who shared their opinion, whether they're right or wrong. Same goes for this case. A bad review cannot be a crime in anything resembling a free society. It's a backwards, North-Korea style practice that needs to be amended.
At the end of the day, sending the cops to get this hotel guy did far damage than anything he could have written. After the incident, the hotel was buried with angry, negative reviews. What did they accomplish? Self sabotage. Opinions, even if wrong, should no be crimes.They've had to change their name but I would never ever go there again since the managers did this, so yes year's later it's having consequences and I reckon I am not the only person either. Reap what you sow!

great posting gents
now let get to to the FACTS....a rare thing theser days on this site
the POST say he seemingly left many FALSE statements about the business....yes that IS defamation...
TRUE statements would NOT be...see how that works. as i have left BAD reviews here in LOS based on BAD service aka truth
Saying FALSE things about any business can lead to this ,,anywhere....see how this works???
but do go on about freedom of speech etc,,,you must be the one making jokes about bombs on planes.....smh
whats your grievance today ????
Are you intoxicated? You seem confused and you are plain wrong in your assertion
If you want to educate yourself look up TripAdvisor koh Chang the truth has no bearing but these actions can have unexpected consequences for the hard of thinking Thai hi so.....

It's a little kid ffs!!! what's the excuses of the multitude of local adults pissing at the side of the road or basically ignoring any rule or law they want even the ones that cause innocents to die on a daily basis? <deleted>!!!!

It depends how you define scam.
It's 100 baht, not 10 000 baht.
Is it fair that you were born in a western country where you can afford to fly to thailand 3 times a year and a baht bus driver makes a pittance?
Is it still a scam?
Why yes, yes it is a scam....

They let a convicted heroin smuggler run the show, what could go wrong? I still can't believe anyone would want to be associated with, or seen with this man, just a disgusting individual who should be shunned by all. He is the perfect example of what is so wrong about Thai society.
Bravo sums Thailand up very nicely!
Hard to believe the lies and hypocrisy that these creatures drivel on a daily basis, harder to believe anyone believes anything they spout from their upper orifices!
Must be hard to be an honest person in this cess pit but tbh looks like you've more chance of discovering a pink unicorn 🦄 than an honest person in Thailand's leadership and positions of power....

Very, very selective about when to condemn the killing of innocent people after all they have said nothing about friend Putin doing exactly that for a couple of years
The shameful grovelling to the Russians is sickening anybody with a VPN and access to BBC iPlayer I suggest watching a documentary called enemy in the woods it definitely gives a detailed look at the everyday brutality the Russians have instigated

It's not controversy it's just a blatant disregard for the rule of law if you're one of the Thai chosen few
It's also an inability to see the complete hypocrisy of their actions and shows their disdain for the Plebs
In fairness they've never been taught right from wrong and honesty and a moral compass are not required at the trough...

I.e. not guilty of anything. Not even charged with anything.
They're all bent, even a pendant apologist like you knows that. I understand Transam he has family that he is trying to justify but you would argue night is day just to have something to argue about!

I can write it down for you but I can't understand it for you, they're all corrupt to lesser or greater degrees and the ones at the top who have swam in the cess-pool longest are the most corrupt!

He's a Thai cop of course he's corrupt they all are especially the ones at the top of the pyramid

Always fascinating to read the comments of the haters, unable to understand basic Western judicial concepts like 'Innocent until proven guilty' or to differentiate criminal behaviour from political missteps. (Yawn)
I have no dog in this fight but wasn't she found guilty?
Not a hater couldn't give a monkeys cuss about either her or her dad but what I despise is hypocrisy, you know saying one thing then doing another, telling people one thing then doing another, you get the picture
What did daddy say? I will never get in bed with the junta, how did that work out again??

He had 3% support prior to his imprisonment so no Putins closest threat was the communist party so na you are wrong
You say hogwash and use an ad hominem attack "conspiracy theorist" because you can't disprove the facts can you
Did Navalny give impassioned speeches to White supremacists and was to revoke Russian citizenship from the Muslim Caucasus regions? Yes
Is there clear video of his top aide speaking with an Mi6 agent to start a color revolution? Yes
Does his death benefit the western MiC more than Putin? for sure
Who did the Nordstream attack?
Unprovoked invasion??? You are having a laugh. A despise Putin but you are not living in reality, I'm assuming you are American with your Assange comment so it's a quite simple thing, if China staged a color revolution in Mexico and got a new pro China government and wanted to place Nukes and Missiles pointed at Washington/NYC/LA that the US would just sit there and take it... You know you wouldn't
All US media has the same foreign policy you have state run news, same as the UK, there's subtle differences in domestic policy just the same as your Uniparty that acts as if they are different but are just a division tool to stop the masses from blaming the leaders and blaming their fellow citizens for voting for the wrong party.
So what is it bacofoil or some other stuff?

33 minutes ago, ryandb said:I'm going to post this one comment as it's laughable how many people are crying tears over Navalny because they've been told by the TV to
- He was a supremacist
- He was a Mi6 asset
- What benefit to Putin would his death provide over just keeping him imprisoned? (This seems to have benefitted Ukraine as the Western public was growing tired of Ukrainian financial support especially as the talk about conscription hit the UK and the reaction was not exactly positive)
- Convenient it happened the day his wife was at a Security Council meeting to give a speech which led to further financial support for Ukraine
- Do you care about what Western governments have been doing to Assange for years or what happened to Gonzalo Lira in Ukraine?
They are manufacturing your consent to send more money which finds its way into the elite's pockets and eventually send your kids to die in a wider war.
Think critically this is as bad as "Russia" blowing up the Nordstream which turned out to be a fabrication
In the process of making your hats do you use regular bacofoil or do you prefer something stronger?

Severely provoked my a%&. Ukraine has been evolving into a democracy since the fall of the USSR. The people of Ukraine clearly showed which direction they wanted their future to go in during the Maidam riots.
Ukraine has every right to choose which way it leans - they want to join Nato. Nato is a defensive organisation and is no threat to a peaceful country. The current conflict illustrates exactly why they wanted to join Nato. They want to join the EU - that is their right. Putin uses this 'threat' theory to cover his real ambitions - although at times he has made it clear what those ambitions are.
'A humanitarian and a gentelman' - are you sane? Tell that to the families of the thousands of Ukranian and Russian soldiers that have been killed in Putin's 'Special Military Operation'. Tell it to Navalny's wife or the families of all the other members of the opposition in Thailand that are currently serving time in Russian jails on trumped up charges. Look around the world at how many Russian dissidents have been poisoned or killed in some other suspicious way.
'They have conducted the war in the the most moral fashion, scrupulously observing the rules of war and minimising civilian casualties' - oh really? To name just one matter, take a look at what happened in Bucha, Ukraine during the first few weeks of the current conflict.
You are a very long way off the mark and although you have a right to your opinion, any true humanitarian will find your comments deeply offensive. You must be either insane or baiting.
I think he must be on drugs or some medication, clearly disillusioned I wholeheartedly agree with you but some folk are beyond help
Ps let's not forget the Skrippals or the innocent British woman murdered by nerve agent in Salisbury or the fact Putin was constantly threatening nuclear war, they're both unhinged and living in fantasy land!

British Man Arrested in Bangkok Over Defamation Claims by Phuket Restaurant
in Phuket News
Posted
No you're wrong, period!
Opinions are like <deleted> we all have one but the fact is the hotel in Koh Chang is still losing business to this day even if it's only my business! I hope the Phuket restaurant also suffers for its heavy handed use of a corrupt gagging law
What the hell has Koh Samui got to do with it, wakee wakee!!
