No, assault on a human has nothing to do with theft. Theft involves stealing for a need or profit, which is also a need, greed being it. Assaulting another human is against their person physically. The two offenses aren't related and should have different penalties. Of course the value of a theft comes into play in the west, not as much here. It's up to the judges to decide, and that's where things can go right or wrong, as some are incompetent, morons or good and follow the listed laws. A guilty mind means nothing, as all humans have that at times. The actions should match the punishment. Deporting someone who's likely spending money here isn't going to happen that easily, especially if they are expats and not tourists that are leaving anyway. Lot of talk about deporting foreigners, as if they think Thailand belongs to them. It's the court's decision. not ours. Fine and or jail, depending on value teaches a lesson, as the rich don't need to steal and the poor it will hurt fining them. Assaulting a human should be deport, as people who do that, especially to innocents, shouldn't be allowed to enter a different country than their own anyway.
