The aim of this thread is clearly in the op. Foreigner kicks Thai woman and is arrested within a week, and probably deported, Thai man attempts to kill foreigner and nothing for 4 months.

 

It's about inequality, Thai racism and foreigners hate for each other.

 

To the Thai authorities we are literally less important than soi dogs. There are laws used to protect soi dogs. But we are nothing more than easy cash for their wallets.

You don't get it do you.

Foreigner kicks Thai woman, threatens to have her shot and says he will make sure she goes to prison. Thai lady refuses to back down, presses charges with the police and also goes to the media. Things happen.

Imagine, as in your case, she just went home and kept silent but repeatedly complained to her friends that she was unfairly treated. Yet she couldn't be bothered to do anything.

See the difference?

I have heard of stories where Thai judges have declared in the favor of a Thai national in an accident even though the accused was in the wrong stating that the accident would have never happened if the foreigner was not in the country🙄....

No you haven't. That is nothing more than an old AN urban myth.

I have however questioned the evidential value of the video with respect to supporting the allegation that he kicked anybody, I have now watched it several times and can not see any kick being delivered to either of the women sitting on the steps. I am not saying he did not kick her but I am saying that the video does not provide any clear proof that he did.    Anybody saying differently has either seen a totally different video, or is hallucinating,  

Even Mr Swiss himself doesn't deny the kick, but he puts it down to a "slip".

And to think posters here laugh at the Thais for making ridiculous excuses for things: brake failure, road was unexpectedly slippery etc. This is right up there with them, yet people have his back. Sad.

I am sure we have all been there. You are with a cute little exotic Thai but you get a better offer. They are a lot more emotional than western woman and can take being dumped badly.

So the the trick is to get them to dump you, or at least get them to like you less.

Here are the POTY Goat's tips to finish a relationship so you can move on to the next one. Please post other tips that have worked for you.

-stop showering

-stop brushing your teeth

-wear the same dirty clothes day after day

-eat with your mouth open

-dont flush the toilet

-borrow money from them and dont pay it back

-complain endlessly

-tell them you don't like their parents

-stop having sex with them

-flirt with everyone in front of them

-harass them for anal constantly

-tell them you want a threesome with their friends

RIP Asean Now.

Hahaha,i've made a dick of myself on hundreds of occasions but can't remember having consequences like this fella.Feel sorry for him in a way because the Thais are loving it.

I would feel sorry for him if he made a mistake, apologised for it, but still he was getting the baying mob. But because he thought he could bully her in to submission afterwards, because he refused to apologise (he still hasn't really done that) then he has no sympathy.

The doctor said at the scene there were three scenarios, three options: Mutually apologise and both walk away, go their separate ways without apologies, or press charges. Mr Swiss refused to apologise and said he wanted an apology from her ONLY and then he would make sure she went to prison. Add to that the threats and vitriol from his beautiful wife and the fact he still hasn't apologised for what he did, then he deserves everything that is coming.

Arrogant, nasty bully, he deserves no sympathy whatsoever. Lots of other stories around of him being threatening and abusing (even waving guns around). Bye bye Mr Swiss.

I think doctor did it on purpose to be on internet, they took a 17 second film ! What people do to be on internet, incredible.

 

Sigh. You haven't watched the video have you? Yet you have formed an opinion that she made it "to be on the internet". So tell me how she put a camera in the Swiss guy's hand from 50 metres away, then how she persuaded him to hold it as he walked up to her, kick her, and shouted aggressively?  She must be really persuasive - anything for 17 seconds of fame right?

Try watching the video before you make up such utter nonsense. Why is it so hard for people here to actually look at evidence rather than just assume the Thai is at fault?

 Its not only the  Bloodthirsty Thais that have worked themselves up  into a feeding frenzy,  the usual suspects on here are putting them to shame.   

And also the usual suspects automatically siding with the foreigner and dismissing the Thai side of things.

should do as you will need to watch a whole film whilst charging a noddy car

Why bother to even join in a debate if you can only do so childishly? There's no point. Just say you personally don't like EVs (even though I am willing to bet a large sum you've never tried one) and move on, that would be best for everyone.

This guy seems like the typical bully wannabe gangster who thinks he's untouchable over here because he has a bit of money and is friendly with the local police. I've encountered an English man who acts similarly.

Nice to see him get a rude awakening and realise his "power" only goes as far as the bribes he can afford (real gangster stuff...)

And it's funny to see some Europeans here defending him..... maybe some more big bad gangsters.. 🥱

Yep, anyone who has lived her for any length of time will have met at least one westerner like that - I have met several over my 28 years in Bangkok, all of them obnoxious. One used to regularly treat the wait staff in our local pub like <deleted>, he used to brag about dealing drugs and how many guns he has but he's "connected". He ended up in jail and he's going to be there for quite a while. Good riddance to ugly scum.

As a foreigner you are only "connected" until you're not. Keep your head down, treat Thais with respect and you will get nothing but positivity back. Fat Urs is finding out the hard way what happens when you abuse your "status" one too many times.

From all the stories it is likely he was a known thug (blocking an ambulance, waving guns around), eventually people are going to take you down.

sorry,  what a stupid explanation ...  young thais are already bonged off their silly heads from smoking this garbage. THEY want to ban it again because it was a ridiculous pathetic idea in the first place to allow it.  

It does absolutely nothing to promote good society or create responsible jobs for school leavers or enhance prospect opportunities.

 

They obviously come to realize there's enough nutcases running loose around Thailand as it is with yabba drug addicts and the likes.

 

Any country that allowed pot heads to open shops etc has failed miserably. 

 

Singapore & the Philippines has the correct approach toward drug users .....   

Knock knock, Steven, time to come out of the 1950s. 

So please tell me about all these failed countries that fully legalised or decriminalised, cannabis. Canada, Germany, USA (in some states), Luxembourg, Malta, Georgia, South Africa, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Chile, Uruguay, Netherlands,  Spain, Czech Republic......and many others.

Yeah, all known as failed states.

8 miles?

A Bugatti Veyron burns through it's 100 litre tank in 12 minutes at max performance. I imagine this would be similar - why would you expect anything else?

(After 15 minutes at max speed in the Veyron you also need to replace the tyres for $42,000.)

Well, the video I saw showed a couple of people sitting right in the middle of the steps, like they owned the place, pretty much blocking the entrance without much space left at either side

 

If it were me, I'd be sitting at the side of the steps out of consideration for others to let people by

 

 

I certainly wouldn't mind them on my chair for a while, but blocking the entrance like that was just inconsiderate. 

 

And when the guy marched towards them in the video, they had no inclination to move at all, until he went nuts. They should really move for people approaching the steps. 

You're really clutching at straws. The steps easily accommodate four people and there is plenty of space either side of them, and no doubt if someone approached they would have moved anyway. 

And "they had no inclination to move until he went nuts"??? He walked right up behind them, kicked her in the back and started shouting. At which point prior to that should they have detected him with the eyes in the back of their head and known he was about to assault them with their crystal ball? I have no doubt if he had approached them, said that is private property and asked them to please move, then they would have. Yeah, I have a crystal ball too.

Of course.

 

If it had been farangs getting a kick up the arse for blocking the entrance to a Thai resort, we'd all be calling for them to be deported for being low quality tourists.

 

It would be a case of, "Respect the locals, or get out"

 

I'm pretty sure if a 100kg Thai man had attacked and aggressively shouted at - and then threatened - a peaceful 45kg female foreign tourist who was sitting on public property looking out to sea then yes, there would have been an outcry. There may be a bit of xenophobia mixed in as this gathers steam but you're overlooking the fact he is an aggressive bully who attacked a peaceful female from behind without any cause, reason, or logic. And then his wife threatened to shoot them. And then he doubled down, refusing to apologise (the victim said at the scene  if they both apologise it is over and they can go their separate ways, but he didn't as he thought he had "connections" and he could bully her into submission), and then his "apology" days later was only apologising for the fact it has escalated - he didn't apologise for his actions. So he may get what's coming to him.

Not condoning the physical assault, but they deserved a shouting at for sprawling themselves across the entrance. 

 

I wonder if they would have moved aside to allow guests to use the stairs? 🤔 

1. They were sitting there, they were hardly "sprawled across the entrance" - you are making things up. 

2. What reason would you have to believe they wouldn't have moved aside if someone wanted to get past? 

You are doing anything to protect and justify the actions of a disgusting bully and a coward, and trying to turn it in to a thing about foreigners being picked on which is quite pathetic.

So how did the protest go this morning?

I particularly like this bit:

"The steps have also become a hot check-in spot on the beach with many people coming to sit or even lie down on them to take selfies in a show of solidarity with the doctor and to defy Fehr.

He referenced previous history that he and his wife thought did have something to do with, what turned out to be, the Thai women.

He was clutching at straws. Even if what he said about the Chinese people was true (they came on his grass) it still wouldn't justify what he did when there are simply two ladies sitting on the edge of the beach minding their own business. And as you're a stickler for details where's the proof of this past incident? There isn't any. Seems you're keen to defend this creep and, to be honest, I didn't expect that.

2 minutes ago, Liverpool Lou said:

Yes, he has referenced some previous history that led to this incident. 

Eh???  He listed previous history that had nothing to do with the Thai ladies whatsoever, he was just clutching for excuses.

What's with the pathetic "fat Swiss loser" nonsense when he doesn't appear to be either?

Ok, up to you. But he is Swiss, he is overweight, and he is definitely a loser by virtue of his behaviour kicking a Thai lady in the back and shouting aggressively when she was merely sitting peacefully looking at the beach; ergo a fat Swiss loser. Then by doubling down and releasing his video, failing to apologise (he only said he was sorry as he didn't think it would escalate to this) he makes things worse and proves he has no class.. He's obviously a bully and clearly a loser.

If you don't believe he's a loser that's up to you.
