Mr Meeseeks

You completely miss the point. The reaction to his alleged offence is completely disproportionate. He is also being punished before a trial in court has found him guilty of the alleged offence, which is arbitrary and sets a very dangerous precedent.

He had licences for those firearms. If there is any illegality, it is from the Thais that issued him the licenses, as foreigners cannot legally own handguns. They are just piling on him more and more. Now I see that his elephant sanctuary licence is to be revoked. Good to know all of this can happen without a court deciding he is guilty. He is a foreigner, and he has been tried and found guilty by the media and the mob. A very worrying precedent to set. Position yourself accordingly.

If he is a danger, why did the local authorities give him licences for the firearms? No proper background checks? Corruption? 🤔

He didn't impede an ambulance. He allegedly cut in front of an ambulance on a non-urgent drive, and gave the finger to the driver of the ambulance. We don't know the Swiss guy's side of the story either. Can we please stop with the lies and exaggerations, please?

You cannot get to the top of the pyramid otherwise in Thailand. It is simply not possible.

Examples of foreigners violating laws on retirement visas and the resultant justifications please. Thanks in advance.

The minimum mandatory safety training here is a joke. Blind leading the blind.

They more than likely paid someone off. Who didn’t help them in the end.

Bingo.

They won't dig too deep. Same as with the land titles encroaching onto a public beach. Thai corruption all the way but charge the foreigner.

He has licences in his name. Who issued the licences?

Reckon nothing changed after his first visit, so he showed up unannounced a second time, to see the reality of what is going on. I am starting to like this new PM.

Yes, the World-class tourist destinations of Kabul, Baghdad, and Kuwait City need to get their acts together.

The AOT charges for fingerport (trunk) use, it was $1,000 per use a few years ago, don't know how much now.

So the Thais cannot operate bird tours? Why is this? Lack of education, knowledge, or what? Sorry, but that is just a complete joke. 🤮

It is only gonna get worse and there are a lot of farang quislings who are loving it at the moment but won't be so happy when it's their turn. Be very careful what you wish for.

All of its people? You are tarring all Swiss people because of the actions of just one or two. At least your true colours are out on display now.

Can't get any more authoritarian or insulting to the Thai electorate, than a dictator that installs himself after a military coup. Happened three times since I first came to live in Thailand. They love a bit of authoritarianism. How is that young lady on hunger strike in prison getting on? Women's Day indeed.

From experience, the biggest 'scammers' in Thailand are the ones near the top of the pyramid. The higher you go, the higher the stakes. I don't like the word 'scammer' because it brings to mind jetskis or tuk-tuk drivers outside temples. The reality is corruption and criminality is endemic throughout the society here. A pre-requisite to operate at the higher echelons certainly.

You are only done with it because you don't like me stating the facts.

Why bother to cut and paste this information? It adds nothing to the discussion. Do you really think this guy poses a threat to society? Please.

If the evidence meets the criteria of being sufficient enough. The witness statement should convict him, so no need to worry about circumstantial evidence. You'll get your pound of flesh in the end.

They don't have jury trials in Thailand.

Absolutely, but no prostitution exists according to the authorities, despite hundreds of ladyboy prostitutes having a turf war on Soi 11. They are quite clearly not a rational or mature group of people and as their comments about the incident on soi 11, they are evidently bare faced liars into the bargain. Always take what anyone says here with a pinch of salt, especially in the case of Swissman David.
