Hopefully! Confiscate his passport.

Put a block on The Passport Office issuing a new one to the idiot. Register them on airline's block lists. I'd say for 20 years so his holiday choices are extremely limited. Might be a lesson to others intent on causing trouble and / or even endangering lives of other passengers and airline crews.

 

 

I would think that, he will be doing some jail time, and receive a ban from entering Thailand, won't be enjoying a cold beer and Thai hospitality for some time, possibly receive an airline ban as well, after he has time to think, I hope for a few years in jail, a nutter.

From personal experience, the AirAsia hostess wasn't gay, she was bi.

 It is likely the Brits do not fool around with idiots like this guy, and will lock him up. Good result.

 

They really won't.

They should test all passengers for drugs before they are allowed on the flight, that would teach them a lesson.  

But I do not understand why the plane did not return to Bangkok when the fight started early just after takeoff?  


 

 

let me see here... a thai plane headed to britain with a stroppy brit and maybe 170 other passengers who want to go to london and don't want to go back to bangkok

 

there ya go. sorted

Short term yes. Long term repeat habit and the results are much different.

I'd hazard a bet this guy went to Pattaya.

 

Probably 

[redwhiteandblue]

This makes me ashamed to be British.

 

For all of you who are saying 'why is it always the Brits? The answer is 'I don't know', except there are a lot of idiots like this in the UK, and idiots like this are a big part of the reason why I left the UK.  

 

Finally, I might add, that we are not all like this. some of us just want to get on with our lives peacefully without drama.

[Rocking Robert]

Why was The flight not turned back, and this guy offloaded in Thailand since he did assault a Thai citizen, would’ve been better for Thailand to handle this

That's why the Thais always take my Canadian passport (blue) instead of the British (red). They tell Me Canadians are lovely people.  Little so they know me.

But wasn't he arrested on arrival back in the UK? So he'll get a 1 month suspended sentence, fine of £100 for punching the airline steward and a collection of Man U DVDs of the post Fergie years to watch on repeat for 7 days as his proper punishment!! 🤣🤣

Ridiculous, ignorant comment. Cannabis has a calming effect. Alcohol and meth result in aggression.

Yes, users generally seem to be placid and non-threatening, but they do seem to be easily baited!

I will not fly in the friendly skies, anymore...

PERIOD.

one less quality Brit tourist here in Thailand

there are enough causing trouble as it is 😱

Do you think the aircraft will return to Bangkok empty or loaded up with Thais?

Before being allowed to board any commercial aircraft, all would be passengers should be required to submit a registered IQ identification card. No boarding for anyone with less than a 100 IQ. That will stop just about 95 percent of these type incidents.

And 95% of Thais travelling.

Your opinion probably because you are (I guess) a dinosaur who doesn't like recreational drugs.   All of which should be legalised so adults can what they like to have fun. 

 

This incident on the aircraft that endangered many would suggest that to be a silly statement.

If you watch the cabin staff they close the door and pull a manual handle to secure it but not 'lock' it. The doors open outwards, the pressure in the cabin is higher than the pressure outside hence it would blow open if the handle was moved There is nothing to stop an idiot from moving the handle and opening the door.

Nonsense....

Money would not be an issue with any other airline, where the overall safety of passengers and crew comes first.

 

This outburst falls into this category.

 

The plane should have returned, and he should have been hauled off, the passengers would have understood instead of a nerve wracking 11-hour journey wondering what he was going to do next.

Fully agree. Normally all airlines state that safety is their number one priority, which makes sense. Having this guy in an enclosed space for 11 hours, not knowing what he was going to do next must have made all the cabin crew nervous.

As this was a long haul flight the aircraft would have had a full loads of fuel, which would have needed dumping before returning to Bangkok, which would be very expensive, but they , Thai Airlines, could have given the Brit the bill!

[Deserted]

So he didn't want to go back home, that's understandable.

Can you please explain in detail why flying is stressful for a normal person? 

It's more about the being kept waiting, queueing and messing about beforehand, once sat in the seat with the glass of OJ or champers it isn't too bad. 

[Deserted]

So he hijacked the bog and not the cockpit...very British. If he had been Cuban... .

So he then took it out on the toilet door ?

There has been many bizarre incidences in Thailand which have been drug related and this plane episode fits the bill .
