... I had to be less opinionated on Facebook if I wanted to stay in Thailand.

With the ongoing pro-democracy protests, some have raised question: What could happen to foreigners who get involved or speak out against Thai politics? Or post their thoughts on social media? Well, they could possibly get deported.

“He told me that I would be deported. The reason given was my Facebook activity. I could see that he has a file with a detailed report on my posts, although he did not let me read the details.”

“The message that I felt the inspector was willing to deliver, although he would not own it, was that I had to be less opinionated on Facebook if I wanted to stay in Thailand. I was specifically asked to delete two posts, which I did.”

It’s not the first time his content caused trouble. Last year, he was visited by police after a video he made poking fun at the military junta – the National Council for Peace and Order. Yan made a public apology and the video was removed.

I remember him. He likes to provoke the Thais.
Yan Marchel posted a video complaining about not being served in a Thai restaurant during Covid a few months ago :

Did this suddenly come to him as a revelation or was he under the impression that Thailand was a French colony? Doofus.

One of the beauties of being in Southeast Asia is the ability to ignore politics. What an idiot, no one would want to hear a Thai badmouthing President Trump or commenting on what he thinks concerning the British Royalty.
