Don't break the laws, and never a problem you will have. Very straight forward, and simple, and not hard to abide. Really. I bet you would write the same non-sense if this Swiss man was beheaded on the central square in Bangkok. If he broke a law - it does not mean he deserves ANY punishment possible (up to a choice of an angry mob, for example). After all - this is why the laws exist in the first place - to get to each fact of “law breaking” an adequate punishment. There is no such a crime as just “breaking a law”.

A public beheading is the same as having your visa cancelled for almost certainly assaulting someone? Very dramatic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always 2 sides to a story, surely the guys got more common sense and decency than kicking a lady thats sitting wether he feels its on his rented step or otherwise! If he did give her a real kick then sure, charge him with a hefty fine and then deport him with a ban on re entering Thailand but only after the facts are revealed and the legal process is followed. The sad thing about it is if she were a peasant girl then most likely nothing would probably happen. The moment he touched her, following his threatening obscenity filled rant, he assaulted her. Dumb move. He has put his own head in the noose. No pity. About my second or third year here, the village crazy guy sat down in front of the gate to my house and wouldn't move. I couldn't get out. Amazingly, I sensed that knocking him over and pushing him out of the way just might cause more of a problem than it solved. I called my housekeeper and she and her daughter came and managed to move him away. Good thing I did, btw. Because although the guy was barefoot and looked like a bum, he is a member of a wealthy and influential family in the village. Occasionally, it happens, he gets out and goes for walks. He's still around. Has only camped out in front of my house once since then. Settled that one peacefully, too. Housekeeper called his family and they came and picked him up. Going apesh*t like Urs did is about as stupid an act as I can imagine. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravip Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 There is a huge huge roar about the Government of Thailand encouraging Chinese, Russians & Chinese tourists. But now, the the whimpering excellencies should rethink the definition of 'quality tourists' - this is a good lesson to us all, not to condemn selected nationalities according to our whim and fancy - there is NO absolute 'superior' human race - at least up to now!

In every case of foreigners behaving badly (to the point of breaking the law), the punishment fits the crime. In fact, losing one's visa and being deported is the easy way out (as compared to prison). Good riddance to garbage foreigners who can't follow simple rules of civil behavior (that break established law). And if those same foreigners lose their Thailand privileges, and their property/businesses, they have only themselves to blame. No sympathy for scofflaws, miscreants, criminals, or their enterprises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you like it if someone nudges you with his/her foot on the BTS or any other place, requesting you to move on? The sad thing is how some people are trying their utter best to justify this - if the roles were reversed? In real, there are 3 sides to the story - his side, my side and the real side.

JemJem Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 All this is very bad for us foreigners. And, the second incident coming only shortly after the first one and being far worse makes things even more worrying. And, one weird and annoying thing is that these guys are not even teenagers or twenty somethings. They are 50+. They should have known better. Gees.

Find them pretty arrogant, but then I could have just been unlucky on every occasion. Thailand does tend to attract the dregs of western society, however (along with decent folk of course) and this a$$ has done us all a disservice. Deport the first, jail the second. Thailand does tend to attract the dregs of western society, Thank you for stating this. How absolutely true! Of course, there are the decent folk you can meet, but not at every nook and corner. Most of the characters you encounter at bars & tourist spots are the Rambos who flash there money around with arrogance and expect the locals to worship them - it's disgusting to observe this.

More whataboutism 🥱 why bring up a different issue, unrelated to knucklehead foreigners? All you are doing is deflecting attention away from the original point of the post/thread... whataboutism is just a fallacy; because even if there where other Thai criminals (and there are; but traffic/transportation "crime" 🤣... snooze, not news, worthily), none of it addresses the original point that knucklehead foreigners need to go. Give it a rest. Foreigners mad about aggressive tuk tuk drivers trying to make ends meet in a tough economy is rich AF 🤣 Here is some advice, take care of your ownself, control your ownself and stop worrying about the "other" low-lifes that get away with being jerks (or worse).
