The cabinet has approved the first formal procedures for deporting foreigners, covering two groups: those whose conduct threatens public order, good morals or public wellbeing, and those convicted of specific offences. The first order under them went to an Israeli man convicted of threatening the owners of a Koh Samui zoo, and he can appeal within seven days. For most Thai SME owners this is background awareness, but foreign-run businesses and those in disputes with foreign customers or staff should know that conduct such as online threats and coordinated fake reviews can now lead to deportation.
