Plus I don't think David has a lot of credibility.

Bangkokpost says business visa. Link to Bangkok Post removed by Moderator.

Some more detail from: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=saved&v=419778263900124 What is interesting is the multiple incidents of misconduct, totaling 3-4 times. Police Colonel Itthipol Itthisaranachai, Superintendent of Immigration Division 6, disclosed the progress regarding the revocation of the visa of Mr. David, a 45-year-old Swiss national and suspect in the assault case against a female doctor in Phuket province. Recently, they received a report from the immigration chief regarding the withdrawal of the visa of the aforementioned Swiss individual after receiving letters from the provincial governor of Phuket and the provincial police. The report highlighted the individual's behavior, indicating multiple incidents of misconduct, totaling 3-4 times, which adversely affected the peace and happiness of the people in the country, posing a threat to society. Consequently, his retirement visa, allowing permanent residency in Thailand, has been revoked. Furthermore, following these steps, the police officers from the immigration division will notify Mr. David today about the revocation of his visa. Mr. David has the right to appeal within 48 hours. Additionally, he has the right to stay in the country because there are still pending assault cases against the female doctor. Mr. David also has the right to post bail to fight the case and remain in Thailand until the case is concluded. Afterward, there will be arrangements for his deportation.

Were any of these foreign criminals on the Prime Minister's radar?

Nationwide, the Business Development Department found that 419 firms may be acting as business nominees; 313 of them were ordered to submit more documents for verification. I think there's an outside chance that David flees the country, lol.

Well, David's visa is officially revoked. Today (March 7, 2024), at 07:00 AM, Police Major General Prinyapak Klinsakorn, Deputy Chief Inspector of Immigration 1 and Deputy Spokesperson of the Immigration Bureau, revealed that last night, on March 6, 2024, Police Lieutenant General Sorasak Sirisukha, Commander of Immigration Division 6, signed the approval for the revocation of the visa of Mr. URS BEAT FEHR or David, as proposed by the Immigration Division 6, Phuket Province. It was deemed that David's actions were believed to be a threat to society or likely to cause danger to public peace and order, in accordance with the conditions specified in the Immigration Act of 1979, as confirmed by the Provincial Governor and the Commander of Immigration Division 6, Phuket Province. Henceforth, the Immigration Division 6, Phuket Province, will notify the individual and proceed to detain him. However, Mr. David is still in the midst of fighting a case involving bodily harm. He still has the right to bail out and fight the case until it reaches its conclusion. The Immigration Division 6, Phuket Province, affirms its commitment to proceed with the legal process while considering the peace and security of the community in the area as paramount.

Yeah, I think he is pissing off some influential people now. Visa issues? I wonder if he will try fleeing the country, lol.

I thought David might be able to pay his way out of this but now the Prime Minister is involved? "It’s more than simply kicking or driving rudely; the Swiss man and his Thai wife in Phuket have been investigated for their elephant business and for their villa, which has sparked protests from locals, and the man’s visa may be revoked. Now the Phuket police officers who used to be close with them have also been investigated. The Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin and the National Police Chief Pol. Gen Torsak Sukwimol said they had instructed the Phuket provincial police commander to set up a committee to investigate the veracity of allegations circulating on social media against police officers in Phuket province that they may have received money from foreigners or foreign gangs." https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2024/03/04/phuket-police-who-have-tie-with-the-swiss-man-will-be-checked/ I'm not sure how reliable khaosodenglish is though. Do they translate Thai articles?

Seriously, he must be the most hated immigrant in Thailand right now.

Well, on the bright side he will be staying a little bit longer.

False. US gun homicides are 5.9 per 100,000 capita and trending up. Thailand gun homicides are 0.69 per capita and trending down. So America has 8.55 times more gun homicide deaths than Thailand. Total gun deaths are 12.09 per capita for the US and 1.88 per capita for Thailand so America wins there too. https://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/united-states In America you can have a higher chance than in Thailand of being randomly shot in an elementary school, supermarket or parade. Of course, most of these mass shooters are snowflake weak farang males. I guess they don't need to 10 vs 1 when they have assault rifles. Or when they can 1 vs 1 against an Asian woman half their size. https://globalnews.ca/news/6906523/woman-attacked-vancouver-assault/

It is not so strange when so many Thais have Chinese blood. Wikipedia: Thai Chinese are the largest minority group in the country and the largest overseas Chinese community in the world with a population of approximately 10 million people, accounting for 11–14% of the total population of the country as of 2012.[2][1][3] It is also the oldest and most prominent integrated overseas Chinese community.

Well, Thais consider covid to be farang flu.
