Swiss Man Sentenced for Assaulting Thai Doctor in Phuket

Swiss national Urs "David" Fehr has been sentenced to one month in jail by Phuket’s Court of Appeal for assaulting Thai doctor Tanradao “Dr Pai” Jandam, reversing an earlier acquittal. The incident occurred in February 2024 when Fehr allegedly kicked Dr Pai and used abusive language. The lower court had dismissed the case due to insufficient evidence, but the appeal court found him guilty under Thai criminal law. Despite the conviction, Fehr has reportedly fled the country, evading arrest. The case has drawn significant public attention and support for Dr Pai.

 

Not got the balls to do a month inside 😁

Its because he faces a 2nd trial for the elephant park

If only he'd known that the sentence would be 30 days.  It could have just as randomly been 20 years. 

 

He may have been an idiot to do the deed, but he was smart to get out of Dodge.

Why would anyone who had a choice select Thai prison as the best alternative>  It's nothing to do with having the balls.

No, it could not have been 20 years.
