Thailand News - More fallout from the Swiss man and the alleged 'doctor kicking' scandal. Senior police and the Thai PM have become embroiled in the saga, ordering swift action into all foreigners who could be operating illegal businesses in Phuket.

 

Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways and Thai Air Asia all report record profits in recent quarters, a green Jeep is found abandoned in the water at Kamala Beach, Yingluck Shinawatra is exonerated over charges made over bidding for the Thailand 2022 Roadshow project, and a Thai 'Swiftie' is left stranded outside the venue in Singapore for last Saturday's Taylor Swift concert, citing fake tickets.

 

Tim Newton Today is a daily take on Thai and regional news and issues of interest to expats and foreign tourists.

Seems he's dodgie and a thug and probably deserves everything that comes from his dealings.

Yup, he has now officially had his Visa revoked! Nitwit had it coming, though he still has a court case to deal with before they deport him.

Will he also spend some time in jail before being deported? I dont think he should - just legally find him guilty and then deport - his time in remand should be enough.  On the plus side - he is about to find out if his Thai wife is a good one. 

 

On the plus plus side - a few Expats are going to realise that avoiding conflict with Thais is even more wise than it was before. Going forward social media will be utilised against any Expat causing problems - keep low profile.

You would think he would pay a fine and leave, or maybe he'll use a Case Visa (Defendants Visa) to gain time to pack up and leave at a later point.

Good points - that would be the wise thing to do - admit guilt and sign a deal and get out. Last I heard he was claiming innocence (that the kicking was an accident) but maybe he will drop it and do what you have said. I certainly would - no question - presumed innocence until proven guilty is not how a Thai Court works - it is about 180 degrees the other way.
