Why is a Thai lawyer in Chiang Mai suing the U.S. government over COVID-19?
I'm trying to keep this group as much visa and expat (bank, car buying, yellow books ext) as possible, but I can't not share this.
A Thai lawyer in Chiang Mai has filed a lawsuit in Chiang Mai court against the United States Government, claiming the US is responsible for the Covid-19 Virus. Apparently he owns a cafe, and he wants 450,000 baht is lost revenue.

That's because China owns Thailand.

Thai are brainwashed into believing white farang brought in virus . Not China.

The stupid pandemic has been going on for generations and isn't going anywhere anytime soon π

Lol, one is born every day! What's he going to do when he realises its origins are from China? Good luck with that one π€£

Not quite sure how it is possible to file an international law suit in a local court that has no jurisdiction over the USA. Very strange, must be just seeking publicity.
Rob ******
Australia has the same problem , of the Covid the largest percent from any single country was the US coming into Australia . No tests done on anyone flying out of the US .

Sounds like a PR stunt...

Ha ha he is doing the wrong people. He should look about 50 kms North.

If the cafe has taken such a huge financial hit due to the economic crisis brought about by the Covid19 situation, he should prepare himself for the worst because his credibility as a good lawyer has just been flushed down the toilet!
Steve **********
@Nicky *****
ah, yep.

@Matthew ********
Evidence is not irrelevant. You can't bring a case against someone, and expect to win without it.The case will be laughed at, and dismissed on the grounds of lunacy, if it even gets near the courtroom!
He will get nothing... π€£
Nicky ******
I would love to see what evidence he's going to provide, in order to support his case!
I guess that point flew over his head, when he came up with this "genius" idea!

I hope this makes the global news. Donald Trump's reaction on Twitter will be hilarious. His excitement may even be enough to trigger a heart attack.

Lawyers are leeches. I haven't met an honest one in Thailand yet, and I've met alot.

Cute story. He is a lawyer too. Therefore he is a blood sucking leach.

If suit is filed in CM, thry will settle. The Consul staff is never there, so such a small sum will settle. Problem is who to you serve court doc. to ?
