Once again, at what point am I sticking up for him? I am calling you out as you posted a big picture of him telling people to run him over. Is that not also schoolboy behaviour? 

And to repeat myself one more time, I am not him, live anywhere near Phuket or even hang out with westerners for that matter. 

 

What's wrong with you, are you on medication or been drinking? 

 

How about I kick you in the back without warning, then start screaming at you like a mad man, I'm sure you would take it on the chin. 😂

After watching the video, I couldn't actually see him kicking the lady & I would of thought it might of left a mark of some sort on the back of her white top, if he had slipped like he said & it was an accident, then surely he should of apologised, as it's now got the attention of the media.......

On the local radio station here in Pattaya FM103, it was broadcast on their news that Swiss guy kicked her in the back, poor woman. 😔

You can hear the impact of his foot on her back. I assume it's not easy to hold a phone steady while you're winding up kicks on poor, innocent Thai women sitting on public land.

Yep. A few idiots on here who refuse to blame him saying they don't see a kick in the video. But (as you said) you clearly hear it and he also doesn't deny kicking here although he says it is because he tripped.

He was worried that they might do something bad to his wife. Yeah, two ladies sitting peacefully on steps (that are not his). He can't even do an apology properly.

 

Only thing he is sorry for is that he messed with the wrong Thai lady and for himself after he gets deported and his for profit "elephant sanctuary" gets shut down.

I have a feeling if the boycott that is likely to happen causes revenue to drop that the Elephants will be the ones to suffer, I bet he will make sure his salary is still taken from whatever cash flow the business still has. There are so many chancers out here pretending to care about animals but it's just to sustain their lifestyle out here.

 

The Thais are already going through the tax filings on the business, looks like it's claiming loss for multiple year yet he manages to rent million baht a month villa?

Just forget I said anything. Self reflection seems impossible for you.

Hey, alien365, you come in peace but I'm bloody angry, really angry, we are never going to agree.

Such an incredibly tiny man, such a horrific sense of entitlement, it's such a shame that people that are blessed with this kind of fortune in life, figure out a way to be miserable human beings and to treat the rest of humanity so poorly.

 

This half man should be locked up, exiled from Thailand or perhaps the local people simply need to take action into their own hands, if the aforementioned cop does not take action, or is not sanctioned. Maybe sometimes sanctions have to be the will of the people.

The Mrs was watching Thai news last night! She screamed out Som nam na to the falang!

The Swiss guy picked the wrong people to attack,

I'm saying that you shouldn't be encouraging violence. Does that not tell you that I wish for peace? I agree with the police's initial decision. Just both say sorry and move on as no harm was done, yet many are out for blood/want a pound of flesh. 

I agree that we'll no doubt have to agree to disagree, and as adults I'm sure we can do that. I don't have any block list as I think it's important to see all views, not just ones that say what I want to hear.

"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....

Well according to the Mrs the land people came and took measurements of the stairs and guess what , everything except for the top step is government property!

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

 

The beachfront is to the north.

 

By Thai law, a beach must be publicly acessible, so if pleople plant gardens there, they are actually encroaching.

 

Having such a case go to a court of law ,might get very interesting (not) for the owner of the villas, so I guess somebody renting will be reigned in quickly.

Have you ever acted in a way that you are not proud of?

 

Obviously I had not read the rest of the thread before my answer above, the villa owner already to have been proven to have encroached on public land. So poeple in high places are movoing with speed...

 

Answering @alien365:

I have. But I have never filmed myself doing it and then handed the evidence of my wrongdoing to the police myself, because I was that stuck-up that I thought I was 100% in the right.

 

By kicking a doctor and not a bargirl, he clearly attacked the wrong person. This is simply Thailand, and as a business man he really should know that contacts in high places only help if the other side does not have better ones.

 

My assumption is: had it not gained that much publicity, the doctor's father and the police chief would have sat together in some expensive restaurant and talked it through, with the Swiss guy still coming out the loser in this situation. Maybe an apology and wai, but no financial retribution.

 

Now that he is seen as the aggressor, and Phuket immigration handing out red yand yellow notices for infractions, even his visa status might be in danger, and with it his whole business. On top he pissed off the owner of the villa who will now need his boundaries reset (maybe the worse thing, depending on who that is).

 

This will get really expensive and arduous to get out of for the Swiss guy.

 A fair and reasonable post, fair play, even though I disagree with you. It could have been sorted out on the spot - and should have been - with a genuine apology by the Swiss guy but he chose not to and he doubled down - even releasing his stupid incriminating video. He's obviously thinking he is connected but he's an idiot and should have immediately backed down. He's a coward, a bully, and thought he would come out on top, so he ploughed on. Now he can reap what he sowed.

Had he have come out with contrition and admitted he was wrong and genuinely apologised and offered to make it up this would have gone away. But he didn't. Even now his apology is not an apology, so sorry fat Swiss man, wear it.

It reads like a comedy script. Only behaved like that because I thought they were Chinese. I wouldn't have done it if I'd known they were Thai. At least I didn't threaten to shoot them. I only said I know high-ranking police officers because I was angry. I couldn't apologize because I'm a farang and didn't know what to say in Thai.
(To be fair the Chinese thing might have worked if they'd actually been Chinese and he said he was afraid they were going to take a dump on his grass, Thai Internet would probably have been on his side).

Police said the penalty for the trespassing charge was a lot harsher. It can result in four years in jail while the foreign man could pay compensation to end the physical assault charge.

 

Simple trespassing is a more serious legal offense than physical assault in Thailand?

 

That sounds like a pretty peculiar interpretation of the law.

Ha ha, yes, comedy indeed. I didn't know how to apologise in Thai but I was happy to shout "<deleted> off" in English - I am sure as many Thai people understand "sorry" as "<deleted> off".

And the Chinese card, pathetic.

My favourite was that he was worried that they would harm his wife in the house.

Pathetic human, he had many opportunities to make it go away and do the right thing yet he chose not to. Happy to see him fall for that reason.

Swiss Boi gonna find out the hard way now.

I see a report that in the US, a 66 year old man shot and killed a woman who was a passenger in a car that made a wrong turn into his driveway. He claimed he tripped and his gun went off.

Let's wait for the reality video!!! We all don't know what really happening and only listen one side. Lets wait for the other side and a video which shows what was really happen.

Eh, what? There is a video, and it does show what happened. And it was posted by the Swiss guy. Do you expect another video to appear that shows him politely explaining the situation and kindly asking them to move?

The  terrace was far away    ,it wasn't his property  ,the steps are to be torn down they are on public property .  They were sitting their quietly enjoying the beach view,   Your  comparison isn't relevant . Sure no problem run up on two women cursing at them and kick one in the back.

Yeah, I subsequently saw his very own video clip on Thai News, massive over-reaction.

Good glad to hear it, I just hope there's someone who can take on the elephants or the entire business who genuinely cares about the elephants

This mornings news, he's showing pictures of his 'damage' toes, says he slipped and accidentally kicked her, him and his wife grovelling, now investigating how he apparently knows this 'big' policeman in Phuket. They are not letting this incident go away.

He's actually doing a reenactment himself on TV now, 🤣🤣saying he tripped, of course,  he's just digging himself a deeper hole, I don't think he realised the doctor could speak English.
