Good Riddance guys like this ruin it for the rest of us trying to build a peaceful life here in Thailand.

If the locals will judge you not the way you are but according to some stereotypes prevalent in their society at the moment - I promise and guarantee you will never have a peaceful life here. 

Feeling that may posters on this thread must have a guilty conscience, somewhere. Would makes sense if they all volunteered three months in the local slammer, for all their petty misdemeanours prior to this epiphany.

In addition, he apologized, which is good evidence it happened.  And there are witnesses.

 

Sorry, apologising is not evidence. 

 

Especially in Thailand as people are often forced by Police to apologise, and settle out of court.

He admits kick saying it was accidental due to tripping, maybe you are tripping too! 

 

Yes, he says he slipped and accidentally kicked her, but that is not evidence that he kicked her deliberately, much as you would like it to be so.

 

Please do try to keep up.

It has already started with raids on businesses in Phuket. Governor saying all foreigners will face additional scrutiny etc.

Crazy, I would rather have 10 of these guys, than 1 scamming Thai (most of Thais are scammers)

The swiss guy who broke the old ladies nose deserves jail time following by deportation and blacklisted.

Good & deported is the proper route but due to violence it should be after times served

 

On the second Swiss the pics of the Thai lady he mauled was terrible & not a scratch on himself.

I would like to see or hear more about that case as it is extreme & odd at the same time

 

They say no cctv footage available yet say many bystanders saw & testified. That means in today's world there is also a lot

of phone videos. But also makes me wonder how so many could stand by & watch yet not help

It is standing back and watching a woman being beaten that abhors me, what has happened to the mantra of protect the weak.

Most likely there were no motor cycle taxi guys around. They should've taken care of this scumbag, take it from me.

Anutin said he does not want people who behave in this manner to live in Thailand, pointing out that Thais welcome everyone with friendliness

Wasn't a nut in charge the person who coined the phrase "dirty farang"? Very welcoming.

Why only him? All foreigners should be punished. We are all responsible for what he has done and deep inside we are all the same (given an opportunity, each of us would kick an old Thai lady and some would even eat her alive). And we all have Covid too.
P.S. what happens when a Thai man kicks a Thai lady? Where do they deport him? Ouh, I forgot, something like this can never happen in reality.

P.S. 2 : be very careful supporting double standards: you never know on which side of these standards you may find yourself one day.

The woman sitting to the right was launched from her seat. You can see it. The only way a body moves like that without force being applied is if Father Damien is in the room doing an exorcism. 

Not to mention he effectively confessed in a way (IMHO).  In response to the charge that he kicked her, he said he slipped (i.e. it was caused by a slip)... but the video shows no indication of a 'slip'.  I have slipped often enough to know that you do not maintain a normal stride, your body automatically does a quick corrective movement - your arms go out... etc.

The article was about the 2 swiss guys. Sure, any foreigners behaving above the law deserve to suffer consequences when caught - including, but not limited to jail, deportation and blacklisting (as does anyone caught breaking the laws of civil society).

There's no such thing as karma

Believed same as you for may years until entering my mid 50's.  Now near 70 yrs old, worked overseas since 1977 retiring 2015 have seen many of life's wheels turn full circle. 

Some crooked guys/girls surfing the waves and always getting away with wrongs create their own downfall and demise, then cannot understand why no person will help them and they are alone. 

Seen good hearted people suffering and after many years good fortune comes to them.  Call it Karma, call it balance, Ying/Yang it does occur.

 

The old saying you can make your own luck I also believe is true, do good or bad, one day it comes back.

As does anyone? How often do they deport and blacklist the locals? Even the serial child killers? Then you have foreigners who can be kicked out of the country for one bad move. So we have 2 sets of laws here: one for the Thais and one for the “dirty foreigners”. What is especially appalling to me is how many other foreigners get orgasmic when they see their “fellow” farangs punished this way. Stockholm syndrome?

The German word for it is schadenfreude. Translates to "harm joy". Your harm. My joy. Ironically, the Swiss men would 100% understand this concept.

Those are the laws written by other humans (and just several decades ago). Not the laws of Physics. So, in fact, any human being can be deported.

What appalls me is how many foreigners are unable to see the bigger picture and understand how trickle-down from this could possibly impact their land titles, business, and overall stability in the country. Already the witch hunt has begun, and businesses that have operated unhindered for decades are under scrutiny. A daycare (of all things) was raided on koh Phangan as a follow-up on this bull<deleted>. 

In the last few days, hundreds of nominee companies have received communications asking for information about their company structure.

 

Say what you want about legality, but these folks, generally speaking, were following convention and Thai legal advice, but now someone has upset the apple cart. your life savings could be revoked without due process, just as easily as your visa.

Why all the whining? Don't do anything wrong, and you don't have to worry. No one is getting deported for no reason.
