Popular Post webfact Posted September 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2022 Moritz P. and the framed portrait of acting Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan which he used to stage a number of silent protests during the week in Rayong. The 35 year old told reporters on Friday that he received a visit from local police officers who checked his documentation. The German national says he was told that if he continued such activities, he ran the risk of losing his visa. by James Morris and Son Nguyen A German man living in Thailand with a Thai wife staged numerous silent protests this week in Rayong but was warned off by police officers on Thursday who visited his home. His case is similar to that of French man Yan Eric Marchal who hit the headlines in 2019 with a viral video targeting Prime Minister Prayut Chan ocha. Mr Marchal, despite similar cautions and promises to discontinue his activities, remained controversial with numerous online incidents and outbursts against the government and higher authorities. He was ultimately deported and blacklisted from Thailand. A German man, on Friday, claimed he had been given a warning by Thai police officers not to continue his silent protest activities seen this week in Rayong in which he targeted the acting Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan. Moritz P. told reporters that he had apologised to the officials concerned for his actions and would instead channel his political opinions into his art. Nonetheless, it is understood that the German and his Thai wife are planning to participate in this weekend’s protests against the government’s leadership being organised by Redshirt leader Jatuporn Prompan in Bangkok. A 35-year-old German man has revealed that he was visited by the Royal Thai Police on Thursday afternoon after news broke of his silent protest against the Thai government in Rayong province.

Popular Post webfact Posted September 2, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2022 German Displaying Anti-Prawit Photo Flees To Bangkok TNR Staff A YOUNG German man who displayed a photo of caretaker Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan with a red cross over it at a traffic island in Mueang district of Rayong province yesterday (Sept. 1), quickly fled to Bangkok last night after police came to his house to gave a warning, Matichon newspaper said. Mr. Moritz Pfoh, 35, whose nickname is Pumpkin, said he has been in Thailand for eight years now and has been recently living with his girlfriend at this coastal city’s Mae Ramphueng beach. He explained that he displayed this anti-Prawit sign because he pitied Thai people as most of them, upto 90%, neither like Gen. Prawit nor Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, who has been suspended by court until a ruling is handed down on this eight-year tenure, but they can’t say anything.

Popular Post Jimbo in Thailand Posted September 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2022 LOL doesn't the German protester know he's living on borrowed time if he continues? Doesn't he know that Prawit's goons are watching him?

Nothing serious would've happened to him, because everyone now knows who he is. If nobody knew him, he would've been dealt with more severely, or quite likely, disappeared. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
