Photo: “We Sell Everything in the Universe” / FacebookBANGKOK — Those sharing videos of a mentally-ill judge going on a rampage may face prosecution, according to a court spokesman.Chidchanok Paensuwan, who was seen yelling and throwing a plastic water bottle at civil servants in a now-viral video, has a mental disorder and is therefore protected by law from public humiliation, spokesman Suebpong Sripongkul said.Suebpong cited Article 16 of the 2008 Mental Health Act, which stated that “No person shall disclose information relating to the health of a patient in a manner that may cause damage to them.”“Therefore, those who posted video clips of Ms. Chidchanok with messages that potentially cause damage to her will be considered as breaking the law,” Suebpong was quoted as saying by Spring News yesterday. “They may face both jail terms and fines.” Full story: http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1453523081 -- Khaosod English 2016-01-23
January 23, 201610 yr Surely the ones who disclosed information about her were the courts themselves who told everyone about her mental disorder.
January 23, 201610 yr Yet another example of how officials try to intimidate people who are engaging in free speech. There is no disclosure of medical information, other than by the court spokesperson.

But she's allowed to drive ???....
January 23, 201610 yr And to add to the level of stupidity that has been displayed up to now. The reason the judge was acting so disgracefully was that she reportedly did not take her medication. I guess the only (potential) silver lining here is that her days as a judge are surely over now
January 23, 201610 yr How about the damage this person may cause to the public? How is the law protecting the public from these people?
January 23, 201610 yr This law is very convenient. The government should use it for its own protection.
January 23, 201610 yr Yet another example of how officials try to intimidate people who are engaging in free speech. There is no disclosure of medical information, other than by the court spokesperson. You would expect if they know she has a mental problem, they have a duty of care to all others to ensure she does not pose any danger to anybody else. She obviously is a danger, is being allowed to continue to drive and presnts a danger to all road users and pedestrians, or anyone who crosses her path. The court has once again failed to deal with an issue in a competent and professional manner. They have applied their normal standard of shoot the messenger and ignore the cause, especially as she is one of their muppets.
January 23, 201610 yr "Suebpong cited Article 16 of the 2008 Mental Health Act, which stated that No person shall disclose information relating to the health of a patient in a manner that may cause damage to them. So you'll be prosecuting yourself soon then?
January 23, 201610 yr so the first thing you say to a thai cop is "i have a mental disorder." so they can't parade you around or photograph you. right? love the tee shirt.
January 23, 201610 yr Mental dis order is what the hiso always use to get out of prosecution/ or a iight sentence if any, and gives them absurd legal protection from their immature brat like behavior. WIll she pay the fine no, nothing will happen to her including having to have her 'disorder' diagnosed, I diagnose severe Thaialightis
January 23, 201610 yr And to add to the level of stupidity that has been displayed up to now. The reason the judge was acting so disgracefully was that she reportedly did not take her medication. I guess the only (potential) silver lining here is that her days as a judge are surely over now "I guess the only (potential) silver lining here is that her days as a judge are surely over now" I wouldn't be so sure about that. Having all your mental faculties in order does not seem to be a prerequisite for obtaining senior public positions in this country.
January 23, 201610 yr "Chidchanok Paensuwan, who was seen yelling and throwing a plastic water bottle at civil servants in a now-viral video, has a mental disorder and is therefore protected by law from public humiliation, spokesman Suebpong Sripongkul said." "Suebpong cited Article 16 of the 2008 Mental Health Act, which stated that “No person shall disclose information relating to the health of a patient in a manner that may cause damage to them.” oops...

WIll she pay the fine no, nothing will happen to her including having to have her 'disorder' diagnosed, I diagnose severe Thaialightis Yep that makes everybody in power and their spoilt brats, mentally ill, especially the ones at the top, that must not be named due to forum rules.....
January 23, 201610 yr OMG, I had a TV member disagree with one of my comments! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
January 23, 201610 yr I didn't know that the average "Do you know who I am?" behavior of many Thai "VIP's" is considered a mental disorder.
January 23, 201610 yr This country produces gold, albeit referring to stories, like no other. Keep it coming, I'm ready for more lol
January 23, 201610 yr I do not believe that she has a certified mental disorder at all, she was clearly having a hi-so tantrum. She is rich so she believes she can do and she pleases. No accuses for such medieval, hi-so bad behaviour. She needs a hard slap around her big head.
January 23, 201610 yr Mentally ill and driving?Nothing unusual there,I'm up against mental driving all day long here. No,I think it's more a case of the judge being the recipient rather than the administer of the punishment,and found the fact hard to take.
January 23, 201610 yr While she is having these mental health issues, it is pleasing to see that she is still able to hold a drivers licence(or is that an assumption as she is Hi-So) and free to drive about, even if she is few kangaroos short in the top paddock ...
January 23, 201610 yr That video does not show three vital points: 1. She is mentally deranged 2. She is still holding the position of a judge, though inactive 3. She is still allowed to drive a one tonne vehicle on public roads. How can any distributor or viewer construe that she is mentally deranged?
January 23, 201610 yr I had no idea she had a mental disorder until i was informed by Suebpong. So in essence Mr/Ms Suebpong has in fact disclosed information relating to the health of a patient in a manner that may cause damage to Ms. Paensuwan and has therefore broken the law himself/herself.
January 23, 201610 yr will she be hearing the cases against those accused of showing her up as a spoilt ill mannered brat? Her husband must be proud, poor sod
January 23, 201610 yr Chidchanok Paensuwan, who has a mental disorder and is therefore protected by law from public humiliation. If that’s a fact in a civilized country the court would revoke her driving license to protect the rest of the population from her outrage.
