I was thinking that his passport would be impounded until the court hearings to avoid him to leave the Kingdom. No court involved, if the immigration authority revokes a visa, there is no possibility of revocation! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will make an assumption here…. This Swiss guy is so arrogant. He has come to believe he is untouchable because of his wealth and connections. This behavior by the Swiss man is nothing new to him, I would say he’s been like that most of his life. I think if a discrete survey was done, you would find that he treats everyone with contempt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgealbert Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 43 minutes ago, VocalNeal said: If I read correctly they wish to revoke his LTR visa, that is all. That is a financial penalty or threat invoking a brown envelope. He can't return as a retiree as he is not old enough. So... The threat to revoke is just a way to increase the amount he will pay. Is it corruption, yes and no. Self inflicted problems, but now seems there is a bit of a history and he has enough money to make himself a bit untouchable. I guess in a few weeks this problem will just disappear, and he will carry on as normal, that is the SE Asian way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting and supports what I said, it will all blow over in a few weeks, and everything back to the same same, different day. Duh. Contradicts what you said. It didn't blow over. Ullrich was probably richer than this Swiss, too, and very well connected. Threatened the police, offered bribes (some of which may have been taken, who knows), spouted a lot of hot air, and all the usual antics. Deported and blacklisted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgealbert Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 1 hour ago, Polaky said: Bottom line is he has money, probably a lot more than many of the posters on here, doubt he will be going anywhere, money is king in Los, you only got to to look at past experiences of crims getting a slap on the wrist. It is not just Thailand, but money rules in most of SE Asia, it just depends if you can afford it. Many others have bought their way out of serious crimes and once the viral media coverage moves on, things will return to normal, that is what will happen here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scouse123 Posted March 5 Popular Post Share Posted March 5 He has unwittingly and through stupidity opened a can of worms. The cops have smelt the money and an opportunity. I doubt he will get thrown out, there will be massive backhanders to all and sundry, and he'll have to give her compensation and obligatory flowers and a basket of fruit and brand items. In the meantime, it gives the Police a golden opportunity for a shakedown of all ex-pats and foreigners. He will not be popular with developers who have now attracted unwelcome attention. The female doctor will get her cut and fade into oblivion. One winner here guys, so be careful what you wish for when you band about hysterical comments about blacklisting and deportation. This will affect borderline guys and those swept up in the cleanup, those on slight overstay etc The real criminals will pay and on goes the gravy train. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndomitableSpirit Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I've been reading in Thai forums, the Thais aren't mincing their words for this man and his wife. They are calling the wife an idiot and other names too graphic to type here haha. Many are also blaming their government and police for being corrupt, that's why many of his likes are thriving in Phuket. They made a hashtag #Getoutfarang(in Thai), which you can see under YT comments in Thai news as well. But I agree with others that deporting him quick gives no or less justice. If not jail, some form of community service that he can't imagine he'll do in his life ever, something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly deserves punishment, if he is found guilty. Kicking a woman is not acceptable, ever. However, revoking his visa before a court has decided his guilt or innocence is not following due process and the rule of law. It is mob rule, arbitrary and a very dangerous precedent for all expats. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are looking at Thai folk complaining about a guest farangy, them showing their disdain, so forget about calling them a mob, that just shows your disdain of the Thai populace showing their anger.

n00dle Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) All of you fools delighting in the fate of this man are too blind to see that this is how witch hunts begin. Its great he is being charged, but it is getting out of hand. under the mob mentality, this kind of thing snowballs. Before you know it there will be an increase in assaults against foreigners in Phuket as people become more thin-skinned and "stand up for themselves" against insults and grievances, real or perceived.
