Bro is mad because someone can't be bribed. Hope the RTP are making notes on who to put on their future deportation lists.

Waiting for the envelopes to fatten up now that the attempted bribe is public. The $wi$$ guy knows the game. 

After approximately 2 months no charges have been issued against any parties. That smells about as fishy as a rotten snapper left out in the sun for a week. Why have no charges been issued, what's going on here, is this about money being exchanged? The RTP. What can one say?

Good for them I hope the scum gets some jail time although I suspect not...

[Cabradelmar]

Of course someone tried to bribe her... This Swiss guy is pulling all the levers that all shady people in Thailand try to pull because they know they can. Bribery is a way of life here.

More nonsense completely exagerated "reporting" from "The Thaiger". You can't bribe the person bringing the lawsuit against you unless it's the government. When you offer money to the other party it's called a settlement offer and is something completely normal and common thing to do. The other party can accept the settlement and that's that. Or they refuse and press on which is what this woman did. But there is no bribe. It would be a bribe if they paid off the police, the judge or other third parties. But this is not a bribe.

Out of court settlement .I agree with your comment

Calling it bribe is a bit much at this stage - more often this is called a (negotiation for a) settlement out of court. 

There is not much to gain in court - except for the lawyers...

Judging by many comments the injustice is having many believe that this lady has been pursuing the offender and been unkind. LET US PUT IT THIS WAY>>LADY KICKED < VIDEO SHOWN BY OFFENDER SUPP{ORTS HER ALLEGTION< WOMANCOMP_LAINS TO POLICE WHO BEACAUSE THEY ARE LAZY Wish to pursue a lesser charge ir-regardless of what the victim wants. The local government shuts he Elephant foundation, and endures the higher charge is used for the offender. 

MANY SEE HER AS SEEKING TH SPOTLIGHT>

So which ignorant posters who are I think mainly uneducated foreigners think he should keep everything and allow him to continue as before .

 

Amazing now I know why I do not live in this place full of stupid people and I am not talking about the ~Thais

I didn't see her get assaulted and neither did you!

Every Thai is against corruption, until it benefits them, then it is not a big problem: not think too much, sabaai sabaai

That could apply worldwide. Just think of the many expressions in the English language alone to describe corruption.

Is what he did really such a huge crime in your eyes?

Did you do ever anything illegal in Thailand, maybe pay a girl for a service or so? Remember, that is illegal in Thailand. You should go to jail and thrown out. Or maybe not?

 

Yes, he did something wrong, and he should be punished. But he didn't kill her. He didn't injure her so that she couldn't walk. He didn't injure her so that she is permanently disabled. He kicked her, it hurt a little, and that was about it. 

He kicked her and caused injury the red mark where he kicked her has been published. he was aggressive. He creates problems for other expats since the incident has given an excuse for Thai racists to start a campaign against foreigners. Hence expats despise him.

The Swiss guy is Wrong! This Thai Doctor Lady is Right! And whatever consequences are yet to take place for this Swiss purp, he is the only one to be blamed for what happened! This Thai Lady has the full right to seek justice and being principled is a huge plus and I hope she does get justice under the Thai Criminal Law!

As someone else on this forum very wisely stated it's not a bribe if someone offers you money to settle a lawsuit, it's a settlement so this is not really news. And the good doctor who claims to be shell shocked from all the attention seems to be coveting the attention, and she seems to have become obsessed with the attention. 

 

Utter tosh Mike; if it was an out of court settlement, it would be negotiated directly between the interested parties in the presence of the police. She was approached by a third party and asked to take a bribe to drop any charges. It is a bribe, an attempt to pervert the course of justice. It shouldn’t be a surprise considering this bully has form for both road rage and illegal firearms ownership.

So much ado for nothing.
The Swiss guy has MONEY and the case will never reach the courts.
Just like every known case in Thailand (Joe Ferrari, Red bukk scion, etc.)
if this doctor has a little bit of working grey matter in her head, she better would accept the money and drop the case. 

Joe Ferrari has been tried and imprisoned.

Calling me a troll with only 111 posts is very clever.
This was just my opinion, and this is a forum where we are supposed to discuss any topics in a nice calm manner.

Thailand is about to deport a rich guy because of his wrong doings, but with no injury to the victim. Happy days as you say in UK.

Im answering you in a calm manner with the information shared in media, and we have to wait for what happens next. Doesnt look good for him!

 

Where did I call you a troll.

 

As he pretty much seems like a scumbag, proved himself as a scumbag in my eyes and opinion. Not sure what standard you have about decent normal behavior, but for me, this was extremely low level of both, him and his wife. Rich or not, what does that have to do with his case? Except this time he cant pay himself out of it!

 

Corrupt business, do you believe he is doing this out of charity because he is rich, or do you believe he is collecting money world wide so he can live a good life. Thats what authorities looking at now, and probably why this case will take time.

 

I read in news papers I cant refer to, he is in detention at the moment? Somebody else can confirm if so

It is an attempted bribe, describing it as anything else is a disingenuous attempt to give this bully some credibility that he does not deserve.

Are most of you just convicting him on an assault with no injury on the victim? and now most of you feel like he should be deported because he is rich?

Thailand is about to deport a rich guy because of his wrong doings, but with no injury to the victim. Happy days as you say in UK.

His business is registered as a charity which is supposed to care for mistreated elephants. It is effectively a petting zoo which changes for admission.  He hired elephants from local mahouts to pad out the zoo. The 'charity' only actually has one elephant. He is the managing director and takes all the profits as salary and bonuses. He was allowed a work visa only because he is supposed to be a charity director. However it is just a business for him to get money. The victim was injured photos have been published of the red mark left on her back caused by the kick, to create a red mark like that the kick must have hurt her. All of this has been published you need to look at all the previous posts over the past few weeks.  Before making your trollish comments

Not at all, just not in the scope of the post. His lawyer would argue that the case is after all narrowly confined to the physical kicking incident and that only deserves Section 295, not 391. Many here would agree, though it'd be nice if it were harsher. TiT. Regardless, she may recover for other damages, mental etc. in a civil trial or settlement.

 

 

This case is now more about the corrupt system, than he as a person! He is just the face now of something bigger than him. 

 

What media says and her advisors tells her is irrelevant, and just the game that comes with it.

 

He did a mistake, now it is about the corrupt system thats unfair, and the Thais love it, but, when the curtains goes down, its back to normal. 

 

Can anyone show me what Anutin says about corruption in Phuket? 

 

David will face charges for having weapon license for a clock and a rifle, but cant see anyone mention the one giving him the license wrongly and illegally.

What a naive comment..  no guessing your nationality right?  Do you beat up on women as well?

Let you and me meet..  I will kick you in the back.. BUT I will give you a wai and then we will continue on with our day right?

No need for you to pursue me for a real apology or compensation right?

I think she is looking for real justice in the corrupt police/judicial system.

 

And what is 'real justice' for kicking someone? She wasn't injured, and most people would have shouted in protest at him and moved on. But he was a foreigner so there was an opportunity to milk the situation and blow it up out of all proportion. So she spread it on social media, complained when she became 'stressed' when it received the attention she wanted, and now she's like a dog with a bone and won't let go. Now, and all along, she's just being vindictive. Anyone who thinks otherwise, would any of us act the way she has in our own country. I very much doubt it. We absolutely would not get the PM's office involved.

 

I am not supporting the arrogant bully in any way, and we all know how 'justice' works in Thailand (who has the biggest wallet wins). But you know and I know that if it was a Thai who kicked her, we would have heard nothing about it. Maybe now she can enjoy the 'fairness' of her country's corrupt justice system. Seems that it's already begun. The system is unfair, but so was her decision to pick a fight with someone she thought was fair game as he was a foreigner. She made a mountain out of a mole hill, something very common in Thailand where common sense is absent.

The police told her she had to sign an urgent document, which she comes to realise would have reduced the severity of the charges had she signed it. I think that is the part she is assuming is part of a bribe.

The airline is keeping this lady-basher's seat warm... 

D.E.P.O.R.T.A.T.I.O.N is coming.. what a coward!  I hope he gets a sounding send off at the airport... 

I still can not believe he kicked a Thai lady in the back of all places.  Can not get more gutless than that!

 

question:- would this hero have kicked a Thai man with a 'Muay Thai' shirt if sitting on 'his' (now demolished) steps?  Of course not.. cowards only pick on and fight the weak and frail.. send him HOME ASAP!!!!

Agreed. This guy desperately needs to be humbled, and taken down several pegs. But it seems the reclarification of charges she was asked to sign were more fitting for the crime.
