Shame they didn't just lock the idiot up straight away. There are enough locals who have a dim view of foreigners already, without people like this making it worse. One can only hope when he goes to court that they will decide he is one of the "bad guys" who isn't wanted and kick his sorry butt out.

Should have by-passed the court and gone straight to Swampy !

find it sad that so many are so quick to jump to conclusions and only judge by face value. You dont know "why" you are just focusing on "what" has happened.

Maybe not, but whe know his name is Daniel Park/Franckowiak, and that he was arrested for drug use in 2017 back in the US.

That tells me something, not what I would call a good guy.

What an @rsehole ,this does not promote good relations

between Thai's and Farangs that are just trying to live here

peacefully and quietly together,spitting at people,should

have been put on the first plane back to America,and never

allowed back into Thailand.

regards Worgeordie

Well, when I was in Thailand, I found some Thai people to be very disrespectful and rude. So I let some "yellow monkeys" out of my mouth. Nobody touch me and I survived my way back home. But I was ready for war. Their outside gyms  are like open prison yard. I don't disrespect anybody and I don't see any reason to be disrespected for people that don't even know me. But then the open gyms are a mix of anything under the hot Thai sun: Koreans, Chinese, Cambodians, Vietnamese, Indians, Brazilians, Mexicans and so....

And you wonder why the Thai govt is cracking down in so many ways to force even good ex-pats into a position where they will have to leave the country. It's due to idiots like this.

Well, I can appreciate your point but perhaps in a different light, so to speak. In the past few days there does seem to have an increase in the number of foreigners being reported but I feel sure if one compared this with similar Thai to Thai incidents (murders and attacks by ex husbands etc.) it wouldn't rank very high. But the American's behaviour would certainly give rise to an excuse for more rules, requirements etc. targeting expats in general.

as per his own statement he has been in jail 3 times during the nine weeks he has been here, also continues threatening language on FB, hopes this gets resolved.

why release him just black list him and stick him on the first available flight back to the US we don't need his type here .

Exactly !

[Xaos 1,366]

From his Facebook he is clearly mentally ill. 

[WalkingOrders 3,152]

Obviously too mentally unfit to have even received a passport.

He was obviously released because he has issues up top and someone vouched for him, a letter from his physiatrist etc etc that he is no threat, still, I would keep him in a cell until the hearing and then ship him straight back to the USA for his own safety, e.g. I wouldn't have tolerated those insults, especially in front of my kids, delusional or not, he needs to be taken off of the streets for his won safety as I said.

It's quite normal to see Thai teachers walking around in boy scout uniform all day on scouts day at schools everywhere in Thailand. It's Wednesday at my school.

 

 I do agree that they look ridiculous though lol

It's quite normal to see scout leaders in the rest of the world doing exactly the same thing and looking just as ridiculous.
