Mr. Thomas was informed that if he continues posting potentially harmful material about Thailand online, he could face prosecution under Thai law.

I wonder if he said something about the family that we don’t talk about? Now that would be silly

Maybe these people are attention seekers, similar to those on OnlyFans, the Jerry Springer type. 

 

Springer always maintained a Touch of Class, and would never have sunk so low.

 

LOOK a this guys FEET!

 

Who in Thailand would ever invite someone with feet like this...

Into their home?

 

No doubt, his GF was just asking him....

 

"Did you wash your feet this month?"

 

And then, for no reason, he might have walloped her.

 

Hillbillies are big on WALLOPING....

Thais hate whiners and it is a sign of a weak personality to them. And a big part of the reason I like living here so much.

The worst part about living here is all these Brits who constantly complain about everyone and everything.

Many simply do not have the ability to say anything positive about anyone. They dont fit in here.

 

Whilst you're a shining beacon of virtue and an example to us all 🙄

Actually taking the time to write a complaint about others comlpaining, that's quite the achievement there!

is he stupid ? Such criticisms should never show one's face or name and home whereabouts... and better, should be posted only when abroad.

Or at least if in Thailand, by using the available technology to avoid being traced!

Sad he felt compelled to do a retraction video. I guess his balls were smaller then his videos.

Monetarily compelled would be my guess. Probably already handed over a pretty penny.

Brits complain the loudwst about foreigners in Britain, even when those foreigners are not even complaing.

But when the shoe is on the other foot, well they complain some more.

How would you know, an Australian....................🤣

Hany on, isn't Thailand a member of the UN.

Article 19

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

 

Anyone know how to contact the relevant UN office

It seems in Thailand he has that right.

And Thailand has the right to extend his visa or not...

If expell, or even warned, he has grounds to raise concerns in the UN, Thailand has an obligation, being a signatory.

What rain? I'm not plain, rather good looking really. Planning on going to my local 7-11 wearing just Speedos to show off my manly 6 pack (actually it's a 12 pack with overhang but hey, if the Germans can do it so can I  ). Everyone knows it's only in Spain than the rain falls mainly on the plain

According to Article 19 of the UN, you can complain if you don't like it. I think you still have to comply with it or be ready to suffer the consequences. It's the law in Thailand. Live by it or go home.

Youtube means Google Ads. 

Google Ads bring $$$ only when "viewers" click 

But first they have to come visit that "Youtube channel" and watch it.

But who wants to watch videos about "Amazing Thailand" and other positive content? Not much, but lure "viewers" to watch something shocking is much easier.

 

That smart <deleted> makes money, and he gives flying banana about all that stuff at all. 

One of thousands.

[Elkski]

What things did this guy critique?  Or would the list land you with an talk with the bib?

[Jiggo]

Why didn't he just wait to he is back in the UK.

[LadyJ1]

 

I have watched most of his videos right from the beginning.

 

Slagged a nurse off at the hospital when he was having treatment for his foot.

Filmed and totally disrespected a man wearing a face mask on a plane - was awful to watch!

Criticised many viewers of his YouTube channel accusing them of being vaccinated and plebs.

Very condescending at times towards some Thai people/the country and those who are working for him at the Teak House.

 

On a tourist visa but has openly said many times he is running a business at the Teak House/selling weed etc.

The list goes on and on....

 

Now and again he apologises, cries even, says he is being authentic.

 

That maybe, but he thinks he is the big I am in Thailand, an expat on a tourist visa!

A few have tried to give him decent advice (me included) but he thinks he knows best, he doesn't! And still doesn't with his current videos.

 

Soon it will be Tuk Tuk for one me thinks!

Next time when you see someone smoking in a bar, go to the local police and complain.

Maybe that will help you to understand the difference between principles and reality.

Dear me. Aye, the UN is going to send peacekeepers to Thailand cos a YouTuber was questioned for being an idiot. 

 

Very good.

Why?

When I see a video from an idiot then maybe I look one video, maybe even two. But more likely I stop watching it and never watch again.

Good first post. There seem to be a lot of people who come into Thailand new and, having heard stories about corruption and bribery, think they'll just fit themselves right in. Little do they realize they are stepping on other people's turf and making enemies. It's also a problem, I think, when someone posts narcissistic youtube videos bragging about sexual predation. Anyone like that is going to step in it.

[LadyJ1]

The worst thing about it all, it was all up on YouTube for the world to see!

Some things are best kept inside your own 4 walls so to speak.....

[LadyJ1]

I guess some of us were waiting for them to cart him off lol 🤭

The action of the authorities over this, will be the thing that may damage Thailand's reputation

not his video's. 

 

 

You can't criticise poor hotel service/standards or you get charged with defamation, now you can't criticise the country because it may damage the country's "reputation"? 

 

What next? Getting banged up for criticising Thaksin? Oh, stop, no, I never said that, sorry, I was drunk/stoned on marijuana,  and I'll never do it again!

Speaking hypothetically, criticism is one thing. It's another when, say, people make public admissions of bribery and sexual exploitation.
