a judge would never convict on the basis of sitting on a step to rest.

Aside from the sometimes inconsistency/incoherence of Thai laws, there was no intent to illegal trespass. No sign was posted and the doctor did due diligence regarding a temporary rest on the steps:

• "They encountered a security guard on the beach who permitted them to relax at the spot, leading them to believe it was a public beach."

More police investigation needs to be done regarding the guard's authority and knowledge of trespass, and of the legality of steps being private property. 

  Added edit: I noticed two small signs at the left and right side of the bottom step that says NO. Is this a no trespass sign or just a 'do not enter' warning? 

The couple are both bullies. Entitled <deleted>. Shameful behavior.

Lovely wife...

It's always nice to start off politely and inform them that they are actually sitting on private property and that if it's not too inconvenient would they mind finding another seating area.

 

Yes but this Swiss is an arrogant idiot who thinks he is special with his money donated like many rich people who believe they are superior, for this people politeness is  having a weakness.

 

If he treats the elephants the same way sooner or later one will turn on him, end of story.

maybe he prefers looking at the beach and water view rather than at a fence.

yes. One “ no trespassing” sign is sufficient if the property boundary can be clearly established.

but overall it does appear that a minor request to move on has turned into a major incident.

Seriously? You support this bullies actions and his crazy threatening wife? You need help too. 

She should have kept quiet and hired a Thai thug to give fatty a good kicking.

Two wrongs happened here .... the doctor lady trespassing  ...  and the Swiss guy assaults the trespasser.

 

Now, in a proper court of law the Swiss guy would be fined and jailed for the assault as he took the law into his own hands by the attack on the doctor.

But in Thailand,  the proper law and judicial system means absolutely nothing, so anyone's guess what a judge would rule.   

The judges's ruling would be "Show me the money"!

฿1m a month rent..... either theres a lot of money in saving Elephants (possibly with monetizing social media channels) or there's definitely more to his and his wife (and their sons) activities in Thailand

no it doesn't .... you are wrong ....

 

it does appear that an abusive verbal request and assault thereafter has turned into a major incident

OK, seems like a crazy overweight/obese, foreigner (Swiss dude) goes berserk, needlessly assaulting woman and threatening to shoot her. 

 

Nothing new here, move on.

 

 

The wife threatened to shoot her. That's the Thai way of dealing with problems, less so the Swiss.

Police said the penalty for the trespassing charge was a lot harsher.

 

Than assault? Really?

I'll await the added defamation case to be made against her by bringing his name and the sanctuary into disrepute. 

 

We really need to hear his side and see his video showing the physical assault. No doubt it was just a push, and if it was, her 'poor me, I'm an innocent doctor' doesn't cut it with me.

Dont change your username, its spot on! 

Do the donations to the elephant sanctuary pay his million baht a month rent for a beach house?

If the guy is so obsessed with privacy why hasn't he fenced and gated his property rather than leaving it open like the photo shows?   Sticking two piddly signs up saying 'No Trespassing' is clearly not enough and shouldn't warrant the reaction which 'supposedly' happened.   

 

 

Not his property, he is only renting.,

 

All that over-the-top fuss for a lady sitting on a bloody step.

 

He needs his head tested and so does his big-mouthed wife.

he is a prawn short of a BBQ that one ffs!

Fat jerk for being so rude to the thai lady. Hope he gets whats coming to him. 

Skinny jerks any better?

As someone else mentioned this is only one side of the story.  I'm sure he has a completely different story.  Without seeing a video it's hard to say what the truth is.  It looks like from the photo there is a security camera installed.

 

 

Let's wait for the flip side of the coin - wondering what the gentleman's version of the same incident is ........

So you just believe everything that she says? Where are the pictures of her injuries if he actually assaulted her? If some sort of evidence is given I'd lean more to her side, but it sounds like all she wants to do is smear the couple. 

GET Off My Land 😂

Sounds like right pompous <deleted>  And his wife screaming banshee .

 

"The doctor trespassed on the foreigner’s property and he physically assaulted her."

 

I am clearly reading 'trespassed', so definitely a joke, or manipulation out of corruption.

No such thing as trespassing in Thailand. People go anywhere they want, park anywhere they want, people even have to put a 'no parking' sign in front of their driveway, and many times even in front of their front door.

 

So a fat foreigner, showing a clear lack of synaptic activity, goes berserk at the sight of someone  at the edge of his property.

 

Anyone, not wealthy of course,  showing such a mental disorder, would be put in restrainers and brought to the police station or a mental hospital. And beaten by the officers to subdue the out of control individual.

 

Oh well, yes, having money, sometimes helps, when nothing else could....

Perhaps because he doesn't own it.

From the link:

"You know, I am not paying a million baht a month to rent this villa for you to sit, OK?”

The Thai wife won the lottery by finding a very rich falang husband and people here really believe she wouldn't support him to the fullest extent!!

There is no beach front there. She was walking through people's yards. https://maps.app.goo.gl/x4aYdvXGfXCCUuEb6

Once again the rich think they are everybody else  100 kg ?Fat MF'er  needs his hiney whupped.   Trespassing is more serious than assault   WTAF?
