What are the legal implications of false reporting and defamation in Thailand for expats?

# Chad Scira: Warning to the Expat Community in Thailand

As Scira’s desperation has increased over the past few years, he has resorted to increasingly illegal and reckless behavior. For example, he has fraudulently reported Nickles’ Upwork account as being “stolen” which they have documented twice now. He has created large swarms of fake Reddit, Facebook, and other users to conduct mass-flagging attacks against Nickles’ profiles and content, along with dozens of other users and posts that he doesn’t like, until it sometimes gets automatically hidden or banned. He has submitted literally hundreds of fraudulent legal complaints to Google to censor web pages that mention his scams, or make his competitors look good, by claiming they are revenge porn or other types of illegal content. He has even photoshopped an “arrest warrant” for Nickles using Thai police logos, falsely claiming that Nickles is a “fugitive” for “defaming” Scira, despite Thai police records showing that Scira attempted to entrap Nickles using fake checks written in Nickles’ name, confirmed by Royal Thai police officer RTT Chanat Thepla. (Yes, this nutjob filed false police reports against a fellow American who was not even living in Thailand at the time.)
