I would have preferred some kind of plan where this man was forced to humiliate himself publicly in a super dramatic way. Lost face for life. I doubt he would reoffend. Yeah but they've outlawed public flogging nowadays 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have preferred some kind of plan where this man was forced to humiliate himself publicly in a super dramatic way. Lost face for life. I doubt he would reoffend. Kicking is criminal assault... and you should be deported if you commit a crime when here... period. They can decide whether to prosecute a crime before deporting, or just deporting... but he should be deported. This has been so public that I do expect him to be deported, but if he has the money to smooth it over the best as possible - he might only be given a 1 year ban instead of what should happen for crimes which is a lifetime ban... (the only for 1 year would not be mentioned in the press though). The moral of the story when visiting as a guest in another country (and we are all just guests as all visas including non-immigrant retirement and marriage visas are temporary -- hence non-immigrant) is be on your best behaviour and do not commit crimes while visiting. 2 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jacko45k Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 As much as his behaviour was despicable, this seems to be excessive. Potentially a life damaged. We are all here at the whim of the locals it appears, and can be subject to their tantrums and bad behaviour.... but beware, react and it could be blown out of proportion. 5 6 2 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gjoo888 Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 Apparently he's a real hothead, but he deserves his day in court. If he confesses or if he's convicted, jail then deportation would be more than appropriate. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jerrymahoney Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 (edited) 40 minutes ago, NemoH said: This man is beyond human - how could a human kick another human who was sitting harmlessly? Let alone a lady. He thought they were Chinese. From the other topic: ...the Swiss expat and his wife claimed they mistook the victims for Chinese tourists who had allegedly trespassed earlier.

Popular Post hotchilli Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 3 hours ago, webfact said: Lieutenant Colonel Sarupong emphasized that Mr. David’s behavior suggests he may have threatened others, posing a risk to both peace and public safety. Mr. David has denied both the kicking incident, saying he slipped, and the alleged ambulance incident, saying it was false information and not the whole story and planned to defend the issues in court. Looks like Swiss is on a slippery slope... should have kept his head down and lived a happy life, not bring attention to himself... but then you know what ego's do to people. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post impulse Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 (edited) Be careful what you wish for, lest it be used against you the next time. Who gets to decide what the threshold is for deportation? I'm not supporting the guy or defending his despicable behavior at all. Just saying that what gets used against him may be used against any of us who upset the apple cart. Edited March 4 by impulse 3 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking of many other incidents where tourists get the bad end of the stick. I believe the Swiss guy has a Thai wife, and now she has to also leave Thailand, or her husband. A fine, compensation payment, and a warning would have sufficed. (Even a night in the cells, known to be a good attitude correction tool), I appreciate that as guests here, we need to behave.... but this guy has also become a victim of social media and xenophobia.

If Immigration do decide to cancel his Visa, good riddance. I reckon he'll be scurrying to offer a significant amount of compensation to the doctor he assaulted, a donation to the ambulance service he gave the bird to and a big, big wai on national TV....and if he is lucky, he might not get botted out.

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 Fantastic news. Hopefully hundreds will be at the airport to bid him farewell. He was one of those people who seems to have brought misery with him, everywhere he went. Thailand does not need him, nor want him. Urs David Fehr brings nothing to the table. He is an empty suit. A waste of space. A toxic mass. He will not be missed. He took his life here for granted, mistreated good folks, and now he is paying the price.
