From the article linked in the OP:
"We [Thailand Bail Legal Services] assisted with their swift deportation, and both Mr. Luke Cook and Mr. Tyler Gerard are now back in their respective home countries – Australia and the United States of America."
Dissmissal of all charges, but still deported. Strange...
Not strange.
Tyler Gerard - arrested in December 2017 whilst sitting in immigration detention about to be deported for a previous case.
Luke Cook - arrested in December 2017 also but then had other cases that the Immigration Act applied to.
