Police fined four Israeli men 3,000 baht each for causing chaos at Pai Hospital in the northern province of Mae Hong Son on February 2 by entering an emergency room without permission.

 

The medical professionals at Pai Hospital expressed their dissatisfaction with Israeli nationals in the province to Channel 7 following the incident. One of the doctors revealed that a group of five Israeli men arrived at the hospital, one of whom was injured in a motorcycle accident.

 

The injured Israeli man was rushed to the emergency room for treatment. His four friends attempted to follow him inside but the medical team denied them entry, explaining that the room was restricted to medical professionals only.

 

Despite this clarification, one of the Israeli men ignored the restriction and slightly opened the door to see his injured friend. The medical team was forced to interrupt their work to remove him from the area.

 

The group expressed their anger and caused a disturbance in the hospital, despite a crowd of patients waiting for treatment.

 

 

The Israeli men continued their disruptive behaviour until hospital security guards escorted them to a police station.

 

Each foreigner was charged under Section 397 of the Criminal Law, which penalises annoying others with a fine of up to 5,000 baht. In this case, police fined each Israeli man 3,000 baht.

 

Previous disturbance

 

The Pai Hospital medical team stated that this was not the first such incident, as Israeli nationals previously displayed negative behaviour at the hospital and in the community on multiple occasions.

 

The Israeli nationals reportedly raised their middle fingers at medical staff, ignored advice from Thai doctors, demanded treatment according to their preferences, looked down on Thai doctors’ skills, failed to comply with nurses’ instructions, smoked cigarettes and cannabis in the hospital, and evaded hospital fees.

 

One of the doctors stated that one Israeli man was engaging in a video call while receiving treatment, showing the faces of other patients in the call.

 

In another incident, an Israeli national was caught smoking cannabis in the hospital and refused to stop despite being warned.

 

The doctor added that she and her colleagues were already exhausted from their work and that encountering such behaviour from Israeli nationals affected their mental well-being.

 

Moreover, these Israeli nationals also made their work slow and forced Thai patients to wait for their treatment longer. She urged the police and relevant authorities to take action against such foreign tourists.

 

Locals in the province were also reportedly frustrated with the behaviour of these foreigners saying they worked illegally and rode motorcycles without a licence.

The most hated nationality around the world, here on samui there are signs saying no Israel s allowed on certain premises, for exactly the same reason! 
what a general pack of A holes!

[JoePai]

Hmm where do they think they are, Gaza ?  😡

[rick44]

As a mental exercise, try replacing the term “Isreali nationals” in this article with say… Americans! Do you condemn all Americans because of the actions of a small group of people?

 

This article proffers only the view points of the hospital staff. We haven’t heard the rebuttal from the Israelis.

 

Normally, a balanced news article should have the story from both sides .

Whose fault is that? Bottom-line, the Israelis are well-known for their arrogant and rude behavior.

So maybe they should holiday in China where they'll feel more at home?

I don't reckon nationality has any thing to do with this rude, arrogant behaviour, they are just your typical foreigners who are arriving these days.

  Similar things are said about the Russians , Chinese , Indians , British , Kuwaitis and Americans

Arrogant Israelis behaving as if they are in the West Bank or Gaza. Everybody hates them.

[Thingamabob]

Appalling behaviour. Deport, and re-entry denial for a long time. This kind of incident only serves to sully the reputation of Israelis world-wide.

Indeed. The Thai Examiner is one outlet stating that.

It is just stupid to interrupt medical treatment, whatever your nationality.

Yes. It's not a bad read for Thai news. But has some most annoying unnecessary conjunctions in the copy. Not sure if it's AI doing it. "Certainly", "at length", and so on.

It would not work, as the Israelis have had this reputation since the '90s. But no one here talks about it. I remember that their government at one point had to have a national campaign to remind them to behave properly abroad. Obviously didn't work in the long term.

They were banned by multiple countries in the past and it's time to start banning them again.  They should be isolated from the rest of the world but they control Trump and others like him so they get to do whatever they want including the genocide of women and children with no recourse.  Horrible world and it's only going to get worse.

The problem Israelis are generally young men.

No. But you can find one if it makes you feel better. Myself and many around the country, especially including Samui and the surrounding islands, can recount you hundreds of shocking experiences all the way back from the 90's. The fact that you don't know about it, tells you how much is supressed.

Read the above article from the Thai Examiner. This was not an isolated incident, but continued behaviour from expats.

"What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."

I don't care what you call it. Myself and very many others on this forum who may choose to speak out or stay silent, know that it is true. We've actually seen and experienced it. So your protestations mean precisely nothing.
