Maybe he tried applying for the THB10,000 Digital Wallet under a false name. 😀

Impossible, the site has been down since early yesterday morning.

    Maybe the police are still trying to find out what he's done wrong.

    This is a first for Thailand to mention an arrest of a foreigner without giving any details at all as to why he was arrested.. Serious crime could be anything. I have seen murderers, molesters, dealer

I don't think he was vaping.

Probably just ran a red light.

Playing bridge isn't illegal, or wrong, in Thailand.

Try researching before posting: a group of retired OAP's were arrested in Pattaya for playing Bridge some years ago. The shakedown went pear-shaped when a good old girl refused to pay!!!

You should "try researching before posting:"; that group were arrested because it was thought that they were gambling on the games, not just innocently playing bridge.  It went pear-shaped when the police/authoritites discovered that they were not gambling and they were eventually released.  Playing bridge is not illegal.

Police said they raided the bridge club after its anti-corruption centre received a tip-off.

The members had broken a 1935 law, the Playing Cards Act, which prohibits individuals from possessing more than 120 playing cards, Pattaya One said.

Was he accountable for the 0.59 point shortfall in the Pattaya City anti-corruption assessment score?

And possibly when apprehended was on his way to a shopping mall to enjoy the aircon. 

Maybe the Swedish guy has some sort of diplomatic immunity.

Try going to the source for information, what do the cops say. 

 

 

Who ?......That would need an investigative reporter this site only copies from other news sources, Maybe one of the TV stations have them.

Sparse information has been shared by Swedish media about a Swedish man who last week – end of July – was arrested in Thailand for “serious crime”.

 

How dare he post a negative hotel review!

Fine, jail, deport!

I was asked by a hotel to remove a post I put, about their wi-fi in the rooms, so I did, I went back there a few months later, and it was worse.....:post-4641-1156694572:

Norran.se does, however, mention that according to the Thai police, the Swede was caught in the act “red handed”.''

 

A red handed swede sounds more like a turnip, or perhaps even a beetroot.

A lot of old expats were arrested a few years ago for playing bridge.

 

That was for playing with cards that did not have the required government tax stamp on them. 

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place
