He did not manage to control himself .

But a danger to the public ...?

After what you read in the daily news , many thais are a danger to the public as well ... What to do with them ?

Deport them all to Switzerland ?

 

 

Straumann argument?

Switzerland, with the Scandinavian country, belongs to the group of most happy countries. So you gotta take this into account when you question the motivations of any Swiss who choses to live here.

Comparing with Thai people is meaningless and gives you more stress.  All foreigners must behave, and the slightest deviation must be dealt with harshly. The gall of these people travelling 10,000 miles to find a life and women in some cases that they could not find in their home country and then behaving rudely with the locals because the locals can go scot free for the same behavior. What a stupid arguments. Locals did not travel 10,000 miles to find their life and love in a foreign land. If foreigners are not dealt harshly for the slightest inappropriate behavior, it will cause chaos, and foreigners will go berserk in Thailand, as evidenced by their postings on YouTube, TikTok, and other social media platforms. 

I agree to a minumum, not all foreigner from western countries in Thailand are like that.I don't think majority of western foreigner come to Thailand because of woman,in these times they probably here to find an affordable life where the pension lasts until end of the month,.Locals don't travel 10000 miles because they don't get a visa and I assume western woman are not really interested in 165cm Somchai without money.

If you were to ask the average 17 or 18 year old they would describe 58 year olds as "like Methuselah!"😁. It's about 'perspective'!

From article:  "In addition, the Trang Immigration has not received any report from the Trang Police that Mr. Straumann is a danger to the public."

 

Well! We better let him free immediately. I understand there is sale on "black" socks this week at the Trang shopping mall that Mr. Straumann is interested in.

Better not be any cart in his way though.🤫

All the docs. he is asked to sign are more than likely in Thai , and maybe he is not signing anything , because he doesn't know what he is signing for.

It is okay some body in the Police station telling you it is for this and that , and just sign here ,  but for his own reasons he doesn't trust them.

You make this point over and over, in this and other threads. It seems there is some deep rooted resentment underlying your posts. What gives?

Strange, the man is obviously violent and unpredictable. Perhaps with mental issues.

I doubt whether a 17/8 year old even know who Methusala was. They probably think he plays for Penistone Rovers, or Scunthorpe United.

He was moved from the Trang City Police Station to the Trang Provincial Court.

 

No need to ban him from leaving, he's been in police custody since his arrest. Hès got to break-out from the jail before he can concentrate on getting out of the country.

All the media is doing is stirring up anti-foreigner sentiment. For the most part, Thais don't distinguish and see all foreigners as alike. These incidents are outliers. Most normal foreigners are more law-abiding than Thais. 

 

I accidentally bumped into a woman in the supermarket yesterday.  I was taking something off a bottom shelf and when I straightened up, I backed into her slightly as I didn't notice her behind me.  I started to apologize but she gave me such a dirty look that I decided not to engage her. Maybe she'd demand compensation!

 

The media and government are making it out to seem that every foreigner in Thailand is thug or a mafia figure.

The anti-deportation order was designed to confuse the members on here who call for the expulsion of every expat who commits any crime, misdemeanor or even just picks up a piece of coral on a beach.

This guy seems to be mental and the other guy in Phuket is also a bit out of oder,but it's scary what they doing with them.If a Thai guy did the same thing nobody would be interested and with 1000bt and a wai life goes on.

You seem to believe that the average Thai guy who beats up a woman for no reason in a shopping mall sending her to the hospital with a broken nose, resists law officers and refuses to abide by the procedures, can walk away with 1000b and a wai. I don't think so. Now if you want to talk about "important persons" then it's another story, we all know that there are special treatments for some but that has nothing to do with bias against foreigners.

Funny, exactly the same thing happened to me the other day, I apologized, she apologized double, we parted with big smiles. Just like in some European countries (sarcasm intended).

I got beat in a road bike race up Doi Inthanon (Thailands highest mountain) by a 60 year old Dutch man. Not only did he beat me (aged 30 then), but 700 other Thai people of all ages.

Who knows what other case records they have back in their own country….

Before long, the police will insist everyone needs a criminal free record or certification for all visas. 

... and what would be wrong with that ?

Thai people have always been exceedingly polite when we touch in public by accident. The Swiss guy was a total nut, I'm sure it was 100% his fault.

Criminal charges of assault call for jail time if found guilty. Makes sense. Jail him and after his sentence, then deportation 💯💯💯

Why are we seeing so many foreigners in Thailand with mental illness?

 

Because you spend your days on this forum and not in the real world.  Have you ever come across a nutter in the material world?

 

  I've seen a couple of Thai kee maos pulling their wire in public, but that's about the extent of it.  There is also a lady who wanders around Pattaya hollering about something.
