    Makes perfect sense. Surely you can comprehend the post, even if English is not your first language?

    Swiss national detained in Trang for assault

    Police in the southern province of Trang have detained a 60-year-old Swiss national who is alleged to have assaulted a Thai woman.


    Natchanan Kikkham filed a complaint with police on Tuesday, claiming that the man had bumped into her and walked away while in a department store. The woman then asked the Swiss man to be polite, only for him to walk back to her and allegedly assaulted her.


    Natchanan’s son, Krittapong, told police that the Swiss man was walking away after the alleged assault when his mother threw a bottle at him. The man walked back to hit his mother again.


    According to the son, his mother suffered a broken nose, had serious wounds to her face, eyes and back. She was admitted to a hospital emergency room for treatment.


    The Swiss national, police said, still refused to give statements. He is residing in Thailand on a retirement visa, which is due to expire this November, according to police.

    when his mother threw a bottle at him.
    chickenhead slag.


    sounds like an unintentional "collision" between two people in a crowded supermarket. happens all the time when shoppers are meandering about, eyes on the shelves and changing direction suddenly. A smile and a mini wai are all that are necessary in order to apologise.

    the sleighted bitch , probably menstruating heavily, must have given him that thai death stare and barked some insulting racist gibberish in his direction which he sensibly ignored which resulted in her throwing a bottle at him. silly fellow lost it and broke her nose. probably already had a mouthful ffom the wife after breakfast and this just tipped him over the edgd.

    another of those wonderful thai vignettes that you wish you could have sern with your own eyes.

    the tv news showed him manacled in the back of a paddy wagon looking very glum, some greasy thai cops, their fat bellies bursting out of their shirts smirking away and with an army of photographers getting their money shots.

    happy days!

    You are the racist. Its amazing to see you condone a man beating an elderly lady. You have invented your own scenario out of nothing. Best you remain in the UK.

    Tax called it right, she had it coming. This chickenhead propagandising bullshit about farang standing up for their rights is just more racist nationalism and, of course, an excuse for extortion.

    The abuse Thai visit upon themselves is a fucking scandal: rape, assault, desertion being the leitmotif of this ghastly medieval society.

    I didn't see any of that, so yes, you're right that does add that some context/reasons reason. Still, while I'm not disagreeing with you, such behaviour is still very common in Thailand without this large reaction. It's a little bit like the reaction to the idiot that threw the glass and the tiny cuts (?) - stupid and unpleasant behaviour that shouldn't be tolerated, but the social media blow up (while highlighting a couple of unpleasant and abusive people in these incidents) feels like a bit of a sideshow.

    BREAKING: The Immigration Police has decided to revoke the visa of David the Swissman, or Mr Urs Beat Fehr, said Deputy Police Spokesman Pol Col Pariya Klikasorn on Thursday. He adds that David behaves in a way that can be construed as "a danger to society".
    He will be notified, taken into custody by Immigration Police, but could still request to be temporarily released to fight the charge of physical assault.

    He kicked a female doctor in the back. That will resonate with Thai's deeply, as doctors are, rightly or wrongly, held in great respect.

    It adds insult to injury that the step she was sitting on was an illegal encroachment on government land (they are gone now).

    But this will bring down a whole shitload on his head. They are now investigating the elephant "sanctuary". Only one of the elephants is his, and the rest are rented. He charges 2,500 per head to enter the sanctuary, and has been coining it hand over fist. That place is going to be gone over with a fine toothcomb - legality, taxes etc.

    They are also investigating who was the "big policeman" she contacted, and to find out how the police were originally dispatched to the incident.

    From what I was told today, this incident is a breaking point, and ALL houses and businesses that are encroaching on government land will be reeled in. We shall see, but the local Thai population is about done with the situation.

    The only thing we should really be worried about is if this turns to a general anti-farang sentiment.

    That's the way I see it to nidhogg. The thais aren't taking any shit from.entitled farangs. They tolerate them but when an incident like this raises its ugly head then there all over it. And quite rightly so, Thailand's still a great place but I'm sure that mass tourism has been great for the economy ? But it's at the point where the thais are thinking enough is enough. Fuck you farang.

    Read Norton's post did you? In this case a doctor is held to the highest level of esteem in this country.

    What happened about two years ago when a cop speeding on a big bike ran over a killed a young doctor? He was found guilty and jailed. But did get a relatively light sentence. He appealed and just recently had 10 more years added to his sentence. Just saying...

    I don't really know what you're 'just saying' though.

    You seem to be trying quite hard to do this kind of 'wisdom expressed in few words' thing these days.

    It isn't working.

    Phuket incident rekindles calls for demolition of buildings on Hua Hin beach
    Phuket incident rekindles calls for demolition of buildings on Hua Hin beach
    WEDNESDAY, MARCH 06, 2024
    SHARE

    It seems this swiss coonty has got the whole country all fired up. I'm.keeping a beedy eye on the situation with a view to taking over that geezers elephant sanctuary , sounds like a nice little earner..






    Loading...
    A recent incident in Phuket’s Yamu Beach has prompted people in Hua Hin to renew calls for the demolition of a long row of restaurants and buildings encroaching on its main beach.
    On Wednesday, the Prachuap News Facebook page posted photographs of a row of dozens of restaurants and homestay buildings on a section of Hua Hin Beach. The structures are so deep into the beach that there is no space for people to walk, while some are even encroaching up to 20 metres into the sea. One restaurant has built a large platform accommodating more than 40 tables over the sea.

    The page said that the situation in Hua Hin was far more serious than at Yamu Beach in Phuket, yet the district chief and Hua Hin Municipality have not done anything to protect the public interest.

    The page added that the Marine Department, which is in charge of overseeing Thailand’s sea territory, has never announced when these platforms over the sea will be removed.


    The comments took a satirical dig at the Hua Hin authorities, saying that though the seas in Phuket and Hua Hin are salty, the sea in Phuket makes the authorities swifter, while Hua Hin officials do nothing.

    Phuket incident rekindles calls for demolition of buildings on Hua Hin beach

    What inspired the questions?

    The battle for public space in Hua Hin was sparked by an incident in Yamu Beach, Phuket, when a Swiss expat kicked a Thai female doctor while she was sitting on the steps of his luxury villa late last month.

    The man claimed the woman was trespassing on his property, but it later turned out that the steps were up to one metre into the beach and were demolished a few days later.

    The Facebook page also pointed out that though Prachuap Khiri Khan had a provincial anti-corruption office like Phuket, it did not care to find out why the district chief and Hua Hin Municipality were doing nothing to protect the public interest.


    The page said the anti-corruption commission should have looked into who allowed these encroaching buildings to have street addresses that are required to apply for utilities.

    Several Hua Hin residents joined the discussion, criticising local authorities and even the national government for failing to take action against such notorious encroachment of the Hua Hin Beach.

    Resident Anuwat Pongdee said Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin had taken a personal trip to Hua Hin during the New Year holidays, yet he did not take any action over the large structures obviously encroaching on to the beach.

    Phuket incident rekindles calls for demolition of buildings on Hua Hin beach

    Ugly encroachment

    The long row of encroaching restaurants and villas runs from the edge of Resdamri Road from the Hua Hin fishing pier to the Taptim spirit shrine.

    After the military took over the government on May 22, 2014, General Prayut Chan-o-cha ordered the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) to send troops to try and reclaim the public space. However, the squatters refused to budge, saying it generated a huge income for them.

    In response to an NCPO order, the Hua Hin Municipality invoked the Building Control Act of 1979 to order the tenants to move out, but they appealed against the order with the Central Administrative Court.

    Though the court ruled that the tenants must leave as the buildings have to be demolished, they have stayed put and prefer paying daily fines instead.

    Sources said many of these buildings are owned by relatives of local politicians.

    Phuket incident rekindles calls for demolition of buildings on Hua Hin beach

    A failing battle

    An official from the Hua Hin Land Office, who asked not to be named, said these buildings have been encroaching on the beach for more than 30 years now. This area was initially used by the local community for fishing, but that stopped once the buildings took over the beach.

    The source said the Prachuap Khiri Khan Marine Office had filed a lawsuit seeking eviction of the shops and restaurants some 20 years ago, but the provincial court rejected it because the lawsuit was filed against those who rented the buildings, not those who built them.

    On Wednesday, Jirawat Prammanee, permanent secretary of the Hua Hin Municipality, said the municipality was still fighting a lawsuit against the encroachers as they had appealed against the primary court’s ruling.

    Jirawat said a final court ruling can be expected within two years. He added that tenants of the encroaching buildings refused to move out because they were making good money there.
