Anutin orders Israeli man's deportation from Thailand

So, you could get deported for not wearing underwear? Why did it take the PM to get involved?

Things like this can be weaponized and used to settle scores or even make trouble for someone you simply take umbridge to.

Exactly this, it can be applied to anything. That's no mistake, it's by design.

That the Prime Minister personally dealt with this seems a little odd - unless there's a lot more to this case than has been released or reported

Well, there's a few guys on here who have been claiming the roof can cave in at any time, they will raise the restrictions, 2 million in the bank, no more guys with tattoos, Thais getting increasingly rude until you surrender and voluntarily leave.

Depending where you are on the spectrum, not sure it's healthy to keep living in a country you think will toss you out at any time.

I'm still not even sure where I am on the spectrum, but if I wake up one morning realizing this is constantly making me anxious, I may just cut my losses and move back home.

They will one day be deporting people for traffic offences. Just watch. I don't care what this guy did or about him in any way, the new procedure is the problem here.

I think if you are not circumcised, you should not be concerned.

Anutin: Foreigners behaving improperly face deportation

Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has said foreigners who behave improperly in Thailand can be deported under newly tightened regulations, following his signing of an order against an Israeli national.

Speaking at Bhumjaithai Party headquarters on 6 September 2026, Anutin confirmed that he signed a Ministry of Interior deportation order for Mr Yaacov Ohayon, an Israeli citizen, to leave the Kingdom on 5 September 2026.

The move follows the new Prime Minister's Office Regulation on Deportation, BE 2569 (2026), which Anutin said was intended to make the use of deportation law more decisive and quicker.

New rules aimed at faster deportations

Anutin said the regulations cover conduct deemed undesirable when committed by foreigners against Thai people or within the country, including behaviour considered inappropriate, improper or harmful to national security and Thai citizens.

Under the rules, he said, Thailand can deport such individuals from the country through the Interior Minister.

"It is about tightening the enforcement of the law so that it is more decisive and faster," Anutin said.

Visitors expected to respect Thai law and customs

The prime minister stressed that Thailand still wants large numbers of tourists, but said those entering the country must respect its laws, Thai people, and the country's traditions and culture.

Where foreigners do something that is out of line, he said, Thailand reserves the right under the law to remove them from the country.

This kind of language in the quote is Chinese CCP style, which essentially can be interpreted to conveniently cover almost anything

Many Thai laws are worded like this, so they can be adapted to a situation if desired. That is why we often see laws/rules that are as clear as mud. It isn't because those who make them are stupid, it is so they can be interpreted in which ever way the authorities desire. Some might say it's clever. Others might say confusing. It is both.

They should make that part of the visa application process? Circumcised? Yes? Visa denied.

Whilst the Israelis, inevitably, got the first available slot for deportations, well done Yacoov, it's not like Kuwaiti or other arab nationals did not engage in criminal conduct in Thailand on an unusual scale. Maybe the foreskin is where proper behaviour resides? Would make sense.

So back next month on tourist visa or is he banned ? 🤔

Uttering a death threat is a serious crime.

And I came across an article that claims the Israeli guy had a bounty on the Thai guy.

You people are being absurd, thinking Thailand is itching to deport people for minor offenses.

I think that some of the peoplehere have been using fakebook for all your information too long and are too easily led.

It wasn't on a Thai 9guy. Get your facts right and stop spreading misinformation.

Well, you'd probably want any foreigner making death threats in your home country deported as well. Thailand has shown how to deal with this type of crime.

The most shocking thing about this is the fact that Anutin finally did something right, which is very odd, peculiar and rare for this man. This Punk definitely deserves deportation and Thailand will be a better place without him.

This will also serve as a stark reminder to a lot of misbehaving Israelis, who are pumped up on hormones, fresh off a stiny with the IDF, murdering women and children, without ever having to face any consequences. Imagine what that does to a person's psyche? No thanks. We don't want them, and we don't need them, goodbye thugs.

These Israelisthink they're above the law... let it be a warning theyre not welcome with thuggish behaviour

I thought they might actually make a real solid example by choosing a criminal who had done something which matched the supposed requirements for deportation - you know - serious crime. But no - they went with something so negligible that if they continue down this road they will be deporting many 1000s a year.

I guess they really do need to streamline the process to get through the numbers.

Film someone in public without written permission - Deported
Speak too loud on the BTS - Deported

It's coming

Hopefully so will posting ridiculously unfounded speculation on internet forums.

It all boils down to FAFO.
