I hope that his Visa will NOT be revoked - not because he is a fellow Swiss, BUT because Switzerland does not want him back...

Take him back and lock him in a cinema showing an endless loop screening of 'The Sound Of Music'. He will be begging for mercy before the thirteenth rendition of 🎶 The hills are alive.....🎶

Now thanks to this guy everyone that wishes to live here is going to need a background check,, this is going to cost us a lot of money because we live in a country that is racist to each and everyone of us, one person does something wrong and we're all to blame,, good luck to the people that have lived here for 20 years like I have trying to get checked back home. 

Complete scaremongering nonsense.

(lots of assumptions on this one) And she might not want to if the property has been put in her name... last thing she would want is the place to be sold and money taken out of Thailand... if the property is in Thailand and in her name.... she loses the power she has over it if it leaves and she decides her love of Thailand is more important to her than her love of him 🤣

Does anyone on this "forum" know this person...or is all the hate speech generated here, just from reading this forum, Phuket news and BP?

Staggering the farangs living in Phuket can be so spiteful over what is 2nd hand news and innuendo!

Well, just behave yourself in Phuket........

Correct. There are a few on here that cannot understand these simple concepts and are taking glee in another's misfortune.

 

I used to call it 'I'm a better expat than thou' syndrome.

 

They don't understand that we are all fair game and equally worthless in the eyes of the Thais. 

 While I wouldn't say "worthless" I would say that this is sending a message that foreigners are fair game should they cross a line arbitrarily drawn on social media.

IB has not issued any deportation or visa revocation order yet, so far it's just a request from the police investigating and the Swiss is fighting it legally.

A nonsense post.

 

There was a mob assembled on Sunday morning calling for his deportation. 

 

Due process for visa cancellation or deportation must be followed, or we are all at risk. 

 

BTW I am a permanent resident that will become a naturalised Thai citizen next year. 

So ?   You will always be a foreigner and will never be considered Thai.

It is a joke that foreigners think they can become Thai. Yes you can obtain a Thai passport but that does not change who you really are, a Farang!

How about just make sure to behave... and be respectful as best you can...  (i.e. act with some class).  If you do that, you won't have to worry about some arbitrary line on social media.

I agree with that, I also think it likely Thai folk look down on a farangy who thinks he is Thai........😝

I would say that the Thai police are a much bigger threat to society than this man.

 

Everyone knows that Thai police is the real mafia in Thailand and corrupt as hell.

Yes, there are a lot of criminals here... but it does not mean you need to add more foreigners to the mix as well 🤣

Case is touching a lot of hot buttons: expats who don't respect Thais, public access to beaches, respect for women, resentments over foreign ownership of land squeezing out locals.

 

During the hearing his exchanges with his wife are in English and at one point he says "I cannot speak Thai."  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a11iQgvYrVI 

 

My point is if you can't speak the local language, you need to watch your P's & Q's more than he did in the video clip he made of the incident.

 

It's not easy to make yourself persona non grata in Thailand, but it appears he's managed to do just that.

You are a man in speeds sitting behind a screen hoping to be a man in shorts someday

[MangoKorat]

This all seems to be getting out of hand. The man has done wrong and should be punished but losing his home and his life on Phuket seems over the top.  I'm told the ill feeling towards him is all over Social Media - could this be a case of 'Trial by Social Media'?

 

I believe he has a business, what about the staff?  What about his wife?

Exactly, especially with his business interests, but he may have thought he was untouchable, the connection thingy...🤔

Yes, maybe he should but I just wonder if this case would appear so bad without the Social Media attention?  My Thai friends tell me its all over all the SS platforms constantly.  People act on the spur of the moment and often regret their actions later.

 

There are foreigners living all over Thailand that I have no doubt have done far worse than he has.  You are not even supposed to be allowed to enter Thailand if you've committed anything more than a minor crime. That's the law but no checks are ever done or asked for - except for some visa types.  The chances are that much more viscious types, even murderers, are living in the country.

 

I realise that a guest should act in an especially decent way but in a country where a policemen can escape jail when he killed someone through drunk driving, it seems a little strong to deport someone over a kick.

Any immigration officer seeing this as the reason on the immigration system "threat to the safety and order of the people under Article 12 of the Immigration Act".... will not allow him to enter... period... regardless of whether he is officially blacklisted... 

How do you know and how can you speak for each and every immigration officer?

seems quite a bizarre comment to make, like you know every IO personally and not a single one of them would ever be corrupt
and why would there be any such comment on the system if he is not officially blacklisted?
