Tens of thousands sign petition to get 'My Mate Nate' booted out of Thailand

[Ulic]

A harmless dufus. I can't believe he gets this amount of attention and people

actually trying to have him booted from Thailand. Why waste the time.

[hotchilli]

Looking innocent in his shirt & tie giving the usual "wai"

he'll be back to his tricks today... should have deported the tw@t.

[tominbkk]

He's 30 something - why does he behave like a 10 year old?

Coz that's what gets the clickzzzzz! Kaching!!!

‘My Mate Nate’ charged with railway obstruction

 

 

BANGKOK — A controversial American YouTuber who was slammed for flattening coins on train tracks was charged Monday with railway obstruction and trespassing.

 

The charges for minor misdemeanors against Nate Bartling, or “My Mate Nate” – for a video in which he is seen trying to flatten coins by taping them to train tracks – were revealed Monday at the State Railway of Thailand, where he held a press conference together with police and railway officials to apologize.

Hi everyone yes I agree this stupid immature American idiot is a disgusting example of foreigners and a disgrace to his country ! he is irresponsible and dangerous with no respect for the Thai culture either even though he has dominated the language ! this doesn't give him the rite to brake the law here or set a bad example for the rest of us who live here and abide by the rules of this kingdom and respect the Thai culture and its people.He must be made to pay for what he has done and forfeit any money made on You tube for his dangerous antics the formally charged and put into prison awaiting deportation and put on a black list as undesirable then thrown out of the kingdom for good in my opinion for what its worth ! what do you guys think about my opinion ? fair or what ? have a nice day to all.

HYPOTHESIS

 

A poor kid sees the jerk smeering his coins on a track, ......

 

after the show the kid runs on the track to search for any coins left and gets killed by a train....

 

what will you tell the kids parents?   That is was all a "misunderstanding??????"

Hypothesis.. Im not promoting him I think he is an idiot..your drawing a very long hypothetical bow about kids running on train tracks looking for change...I won't be telling their parents anything how am I anyway responsible for what this clown does? All your hypothesis are at best unlikely at worst ridiculous.  I just think prisons are overcrowded enough without sending this bloke away for trespassing unless you can point out to me some felony he deserves to be locked up for. Are you one of these twits that thinks listening to heavy metal or rap makes kids want to kill themselves?

"My Mate Who?"

 

Mate I think he's an idiot but that doesn't justify a jail sentence IMO. If the Thais want to kick him out up to them I won't miss him. I think a few people might be getting a bit carried away with what to do with this clown but. I didn't see 17 pages of venom getting spit after the bloke that tortured that child with hot water the other day so lets get a bit of perspective eh?

He's doing things that youngsters here obviously love and he's onto a good earner, so hats off to him in that respects.  Yes he's a <deleted>###ng nauseating c##ck boy to most of the older generation here and tbh me.  It's not really his antics that get to me the most as that's just stupid things young boys do..it's just...why does he have to talk so bloody loud!   And that dumb look of his to boot....

Well I think it's fairly common knowledge that he didn't use Thai coins so where does lese majeste come in to it?

Leste Majeste in Thailand applies not only to the Thai Royal family but all Royal families around the world 

Not many know that but its true but not enforced other than the thai royals 

[DiamondKing]

VERY SMART KID by the way controversial gets free advertising for his channel and makes a FORTUNE from the advertising 

His stunts need to be thought through a little better though especially in this racist and backward country

Wasn't Thai currency 

Turns out the media was wrong in reporting on the television news last night, but it was the Queen of England on a coin that looked like a 10 baht.. So he is still in trouble.

Just gives the Thai authority heavier legs with the kid if they want. Let's see what happens as no one can tell what will unfold. I myself say send the little Ex Mormon Missionary hiking.

I remember a story about someone being in Kenya when Kenyatta Senior was president for shooting holes in local coins.  He was charged with insulting the president or something like that.  If Nate was getting Thai coins run over, he should perhaps be charged with LM. 

 

[Dogmatix]

The government needs to boost exports to meet its economic goals.  Exporting Nate should be made an urgent priority.

[11223344]

I don't like him... but this case is ridiculous - the police and rail 'experts' even were able to count how many scratches the coins made.... on what probably is 10+ years old track!!! lol

Can you back up your statement with any current Thai law/ police order/ immigration order? I would love to see it.

The scratches will be new! But I agree  that the case is ridiculous!

[A1Str8]

The guy put a coin on the railway tracks and a case has been prepared against him. In the meantime high ranking criminals in the government are busy robbing the nation blind and nobody seems to care. 

Finally, Thailand has got it's priorities straight.

From 2 or 3 previous posts:-

 

" Lese majeste law section 133. Insult against the Head of State of foreign countries or lese majeste. Insulting or threatening the King, Queen, Consort, Heir-apparent or Head of State of foreign countries (Section 133), which is an offence against the friendly relations with foreign states, is punishable by one to seven years’ imprisonment or a fine of 2,000-140,000 baht, or both."

The Thai state railways are stepping up the heat on YouTuber Nate Bartling after his latest stunt putting coins on their tracks.

 

They say he has broken a 1921 trespass law and plan to speak to him today.

 

Meanwhile a website that has called for him to be thrown out of Thailand has also been visited thousands of times.

this is all so horribly wrong; SRT is not a law enforcement agency , if they have a problem , they go to the police;

the police handle it as they SUPPOSEDLY know the law;  i would cite SRT for incitement if they aggressively confront the perpetrator;

secondly, the public is not immigration enforcement, they have no say in this matter, that is for others to decide, other people have that job; 

the idea that the thai public can decide immigration matters is abhorrent;

it exposes a total lack of both knowledge of the law and respect for it

and it also exposes a very ugly flaw in today's thai's thinking; namely; that there are organized systems in place to deal with civilized issues; supposedly this place is not primitive no matter how much the public seems to want it to be
