The Swiss guy loses his elephants licence

[Scouse123]

According to the Bangkok Post, they have or are revoking his licence for the Green Elephant Wildlife Foundation.

 

That is from Governor Sophon Suwannarat, who said on Saturday that they believed his foundation was used for illegal purposes, and as such, were revoking its licence.

 

The same logo is being used for the Green Elephant Foundation and Green Elephant Sanctuary Park, and they want clarification as to the day-to-day operations of both.

 

They share an identical address

Sorry Khun David.

[transam]

Hmmm, the plot thickens.............

[pgrahmm]

Running a sanctuary/foundation & bragging/shouting about paying 1,000,000฿ a month for his villa lease.....

The first thought that struck me was money laundering....

I believe the elephants are trained to suck water up into their trunks and then spray the water onto piles of banknotes on the ground, thereby "washing" them, so to speak.

Use the strict logo same the governing logo and there is another charge,

 

This story seems to never end.

If only he'd controlled his temper, he would still be flying under the radar and all would be right with his world!

That's the problem with being an entitled pratt. No control.

I love it,

 

Swiss losing their cool, Aussies misbehaving, Americans on the warpath fearing a Trump return, the usual sprinking of Thais going mental, etc

 

We Brits are on a roll here.

What I find concerning is ONE farang behaves inappropriately, now they appear to have launched an "open season" on ANY Farang to scrutinise, etc. 

The other side of the fence, a Thai commits a traumatic offence against a farang, and not much appears to follow and depending on how connected they are, if at all. Double standards?

Figured you out.

 

Japan is just such an expensive place to live in, that's why you are staying home on a Thai messageboard to minimise your costs and overhead.

It's been like that for years and years, deflection from their home grown real issues.

Perhaps the clean-up has been on the cards for a long time, we all know about the girlie bars and the farangy in the background where nothing happens because of under the table stuff.

Perhaps Dave was the key to opening the door, plus the other bloke.......😏

Not before those swearing hairy chang tank top belly bastards, start to dress nicely, and speak a decent language, when out in the public!

 

They stand out everywhere, but have to agree, the last few trips in Thailand, Im becoming more and more aware of russians, than english

Cheap snacks. Attractive women. I will be back in Thailand soon. I was actually considering taking the slow boat to Luang Prabang or doing something crazy like driving from CM to Khao Sok.

Not sure, with the price of flights at the minute, the Brits might be hitting Benidorm.

Indeed...  But I still think we can squeeze another 20 or 30 separate threads out of this story.

 

Soon we'll be finding out about more background... how much deeper this guys issues go, possibly illegal activities overseas and money being washed here etc....   although, with the attention this has been getting I suspect had there been any illegal overseas activity, warrants for arrest or criminal record etc it would already be widely known... 

 

... So we'll just have to settle for the next story in the icosology being something such as 'how he once didn't tip a street vendor'....   or 'didn't say hello to the postman'.....    (which is not to imply this guy is anything other than vermin, but it is to imply that this story is getting wrung out in the social media and this forum for all its worth).

There is something to be said for the usual chavy-bogan di<k heads from all nations being priced out of travelling here due to the recently elevated flight costs....

 

BUT... those who are causing all the trouble seem to be 'resident foreigners' who have taken it upon themselves to start acting like locals with a short fuse....
