Are you kidding?

They took a customer to court after that person had a bad experience and went around telling others about it.

Were the contents of the guys reviews all peaches and cream? Heck no. He comes off as a prick (my opinion).

But this place, clearly has form in making threats and getting the Thai legal system involved against negative reviewers.

How are we to know the resort isn't just making crap up and "abusing the system" to remove negative reviews?

That could as easily be the case, and seems more likely.

Your assumptions are just assumptions = not backed by facts.

In reality he could be Elvis born again and also to him laws would still apply.

If the resort would have made up the comments they say he posted, then they would be in much more legal trouble than he is now.

From statements that were posted as screenshots he might be also technically liable for violations of cybercrime act. But that hasn’t been announced or he hasn’t been charged yet for that.

From where I’m standing, the guy looks like someone who went overboard to not just complain but incriminate himself. That’s what counts.

Honestly, every business has customers that complain. You can’t please everyone. But if someone were to make certain statements about my business, employees etc, I would also use my legal rights to fight abuse.

I have myself complained for decades very harshly about other business on social media, their own TW/FB/Google profiles and haven’t been sued by anyone.

It would be interesting what the guy can state as his side of the story apart of the incriminating screenshots from online platforms.
