News Forum - Thai-tanic turmoil: British retirees escape Thailand prison drama
Atypical result when an Expat gets into conflict with a Thai - the entire Thai legal system is xenophobic and rallies behind the Thai/s. I recall one podcaster who has lived here since 2010 (and says he will never buy a property here) stated that in all his years of doing business here he has never seen a legal case where a Foreigner has won against a Thai. He was an associate of that English journalist that published an online story about a corrupt Thai businessman found guilty in Court, and the Thai businessman sued him for libel/insult and the Thai won (the truth is no defence in Thailand). After much negativity that the Govt decided was affecting 'Thai sentiment amongst the UK tourists', including the journalist being detained in jail, he was forced to leave the country and was black banned. Likewise the Expat that sued a Thgai hospital for breaking the Constitution for charging him 3-4 times what they charged local Thais. The Judge ruled it was a breech of the Constitution, but that it was OK because Expats have a lot more money than most Thais, and it was good for the country. I could go on and on - but there is no need. The Thai legal system is corrupted and xem\nophobic - that is a fact. The English couple obviously did not understand this when they bought the property, nor did they understand this when they started having disputes with their Thai neighbours. Clearly they believed in 'the rule of law' - but that is not how things work in Thailand, especially when it involves a Foreigner. I recall some advice given to me a long long time ago - Thais are basically all backward xenophobic villagers that are all related to one another - you will in all things always be an outsider - the best you can do is be tolerated and allowed to stay - you can get close with your Thai family, but you will never be a part of 'the Thai village' - you are a visitor, so always behave like that when any problems arise.- 1
