Anutin orders Israeli man's deportation from Thailand

Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has signed an order deporting Israeli national Yaacov Ohayon from Thailand after his conviction by Koh Samui Provincial Court for making threats.

The order, signed on 5 September 2026, states that Ohayon, sent threatening messages to a victim suggesting there would be danger to their life and physical safety. The messages caused the victim fear and alarm, according to the order.

Koh Samui court sentence

Koh Samui Provincial Court found Ohayon guilty under Section 392 of Thailand's Criminal Code, concerning threats that cause another person fear or alarm.

He was initially sentenced to one month in prison and fined 10,000 baht. The court reduced the punishment by half under Section 78 of the Criminal Code after he pleaded guilty, leaving a 15-day jail term and a 5,000-baht fine.

The 15-day prison sentence was suspended for two years.

The Interior Ministry order says his conduct was contrary to public order, good morals or the public's welfare. It therefore found that he met the grounds for deportation under Section 5 of the Deportation Act BE 2499 (1956).

Appeal permitted within seven days

Anutin issued the order using powers under Section 5 of the Deportation Act, together with Clause 4 of the Prime Minister's Office regulations on deportation BE 2569 (2026).

Ohayon may appeal to the prime minister within seven days of being informed of the order. He can request that the deportation order be revoked, or ask for an order allowing him to leave the kingdom, under Section 8 of the Deportation Act.

For foreign residents and visitors, the case is a reminder that a criminal conviction can have immigration consequences beyond a court fine or suspended sentence. A deportation order is an administrative action separate from the criminal penalty, and foreigners facing one should note the short seven-day appeal deadline stated in the order.

Thailand's Deportation Act allows authorities to remove non-Thai nationals where their conduct is deemed a threat to public order, morality or public welfare. The order in this case specifically cites threatening communications and the subsequent Koh Samui court ruling as the basis for that conclusion.

Best news of the day! well done Mr. Anutin.

Surely he deserves it 1000% and many other Israelis too, but not going to start naming people here.

You gotta be kidding me, he threatened both a Thai and French national while putting a 500K bounty, sending people around their place, and they burned down his mothers house in France with a molotov cocktails found at the scene. Which was also part of the threat beforehand. If anyone qualified for this to be the first person it was him.

We not talk about some random bad behavior, happening once, after having had a bucket or beer too many. I'm sure many israeli's will be deported more as tons of them behave like this, speak like this, to try and sht you up.

yeah, this forum is full of people protecting the disgusting animal behavior of Israelis here.

Not only a serious crime, the guy think he is above the law and expect Thai people to accept it. No way, he should have been to prison a few weeks before being deported, he got lucky!!!

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

Another serious crime, riding a motor cycle in the wrong lane.

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

Yes for sure it’s coming. You have to remember this is the 🤡 that hates anybody foreign he said during covid it was us dirty farangs that were spreading the virus. So no surprise he will deport us at any giving chance.

Demonizing an entire group of people is morally bent.

Deported is one thing (and in this case justified for both parties) - but are they actually blacklisted and cannot come back? for how long?

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.

Did you even think before posting this?

Jews as well as Arabs and 49% of US males are circumcised !

You speak like every Israeli in Thailand participated in the Gaza war and has PTSD. The grand majority here are way too old to have served there, never killed anybody, and are anything but violent. In fact the grand majority who serve in the IDF do not serve in combat roles at all.

Yeah, racial profiling and half baked raclal profiling as well. Too funny.

In the US ethnic types such as Latinos are much more likely to be intact than whites.

Why did he stop at a survey?

Without the IDF there would be no Israel.

That is untrue .

His mothers house in France wasnt burnt down .

A car outside caught fire and no link between the car fire and events in Thailand have been established

Not according to a report in the Thai Examiner.com on Sept.7th.

'The French regional newspaper Le Progres reported an attack on the home of Mr. Dimino's mother. The property is in Villeurbanne near Lyon. According to the report, Molotov cocktails were used against the house on August 19. The property caught fire. Although Mr. Dimino said his mother escaped."

I think that you will find that it was reported that it was at the home, at the location of the home .

The car was at the location of the home, rather than it being an attack on the actual home itself

Let us hope. Free speech and freedom of the press is pretty much banned in Israel these days. They are a democracy in the same way that Cambodia is a democracy. A DINO state.

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.

Bye Bye "save the frogs". but I think / bet this is only .. talk and no doubt we will see you around in the future years .

So the French Arab is now also deported.

Yacoov got what he wanted. Mission accomplished.
