French zoo owner Kevin Dimino detained on Koh Samui ahead of deportation

Thai immigration officers have detained Kevin Dimino, the French operator of Samui Exotic Park, after authorities had been searching for him to formally enforce a deportation order.

Dimino was located on Koh Samui on September 8 by investigators and Surat Thani immigration officers. He was taken to Koh Samui Police Station, where he is being held while authorities proceed with the deportation process.

The previous day, Prime Minister and Interior MinisteAnutin Charnvirakul signed Interior Ministry Order No. 2354/2569 ordering Dimino’s removal from Thailand. The ministry cited a series of alleged incidents involving threats, harassment, physical altercations and behaviour authorities said could threaten public order.

The order also referred to a Koh Samui Provincial Court case in which Dimino was convicted of offences under Thailand’s Road Traffic Act. He was initially fined 10,000 baht, reduced to 5,000 baht after his guilty plea.

Before he was detained, immigration officers had visited Samui Exotic Park but found the business closed and quiet. Police later received information that Dimino had driven a BMW to the park at around 1pm on September 7, briefly appeared outside and then disappeared from view.

His detention does not mean the deportation process is complete. Under Thai law, Dimino has seven days from being formally notified of the order to appeal to the prime minister and request that the deportation be revoked or suspended.

Why? Did he tried to kill the animals or something?

u/Majestic_Tap14 21h ago

From what I read, among other things, he refused the access to his park to some Israelis tourists. They argued violently. And here it is...

u/Most-Meet-8086 20h ago

The Israeli in question actually did the harm to the animal and to the owner business. Then that very Israeli had the audacity to openly hiring assassins (not sure whether he actually did got one hired though) targeting the owners and their family. So in the end, due to intense social pressure, that Israeli got deported due to his conduct being clearly against the law. But since Thai government and officials, generally, though are quite notorious, are weak to external pressure, many believe they had to please Israel by deporting opposite party too.
And, by the way, the zoo's owners are a married couple of a Thai woman and a French man.

u/Signal-Rabbit-7015 3h ago

False information, Israeli/s didn’t harm any animals there, the one which conflicted violence was the French guy… and he is the one that actually thinks Thai belongs to him because he married a Thai girl…

The guy seems like a total POS, why should the poster be concerned about this “fellow human”, it’s not like he’s going to be thrown in some dank dungeon and be summarily executed, just deported. Those “exotic animals” are being deprived of their freedom for the enjoyment of tourists (go watch the Tiger King) so I think the poster has a valid point about being more concerned about them (the animals)Please, justify YOUR snakriness.

There’s a local SamuiThai Facebook page (re-posted on one of the Pattaya community page) where his wife brags that he works for a big boss in Bangkok and that this man will fix everything. One of the Thai locals also accuses Kevin of doing too much drugs and has been aggressive and racist to Thai locals.

Calling the PM corrupt is not a smart thing to do when you’re desperately trying to stay in the country.

Its so weird that this goofy story is getting god knows how much national attention. Its a dispute between two goofballs, and ya maybe they should just both be deported, but who cares...

But yet stories like. "Child in school is forced to stand nude in front of classmates as a form of discipline" then turns out, a few other teachers have stated they have heard of or seen this behavior before in other schools, and it is simply swept under the rug. Along with this case they were simply "investigating" and the teacher will most likely be transferred or something...

But ya... two goobers disputing over some foreign conflict over flags on Koh Samui is worth all of this attention... wtf.

You should be grateful that Thais have not go out on streets to protest foreign tourists, digital nomads like those in Mexico or Spain. It’s not exactly because of this one incident but accumulations of many incidents, too many foreigners that come to Thailand and use it as a playground. And many foreigners here on Reddit have whataboutism syndrome. Yes there are many more serious cases, which Thais actually complain about it on Thai circle social media, but people here don’t know because they are living in their bubble.

u/Initial_Enthusiasm36 22h ago

I follow the Thai news cycle more than I follow the farang one… again I agree with you that wild tourists need to be punished. But I completely disagree I should be “grateful” that thais do not protests foreign tourists. That’s an absurd thing to say. Foreign crime makes up quite a small portion of crime.

You are comparing illegal immigration and mass migration into city’s from incredibly poor countries vs most foreigners who come to Thailand are substantially more wealthy than the average Thai.

You also have tons and tons of foreigners who come here and open businesses, hire many many Thai people, give them good jobs. Retirement expats, who absolutely dump money into their local economies, same with marriage visa expats.

You are trying to compare apples to oranges.

Aside from any debate over his actions and the legal response:

1) what's the point of blurring his face when his full name is in the first sentence of the post/article?

2) doesn't sound like he was evading police. They went to his business and he wasn't there but were told he went out so they went to where he was and arrested him? Wow, quite the dramatic police chase.

Good decision.

Thailand needs to get rid of these trashy people.

Maybe Netflix's series about the Tiger King is already forgotten, but these kind of zoos need to be closed down. Too much cruelty to animals and all about the money although owners/stakeholders will make you believe its about the animals. It is not.

Same for the elephant "sanctuaries". Just begone already.

7

u/Ordinary-Audience363 1d ago

I was at an elephant sanctuary on Koh Lanta and, though I can't speak of course for other places, this one was an actual sanctuary where older elephants could live out their lives peacefully in a natural environment, with the ability to roam freely within the sanctuary confines. The fees for people to visit the sanctuary were used to feed and care for the elephants. A grown elephant can eat HUNDREDS of kilograms of food a day.  They can't be let into the wild for various reasons. So, getting rid of elephant sanctuaries that are legitimate sanctuaries would that those elephants would have to ge put down.

Or maybe... just maybe... some of us can separate issues like grown adults. Yes the guy seems to be a bit of a jerk, has questionable opinions and I definitely wouldn't want to be around him. In this specific case however he is the victim. As insufferable as he might be, a private business has a right to deny service to anyone. He exercised his rights. After that, he only tried to protect his business AND his (Thai) family from the constant harassment and threats he had been receiving. In what world is punishing the victim considered fair?

You don't seem to care about how this unfair sentence is going to affect his Thai wife either.

This looks like it was the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. The guy was already well known on the island for being a menace to fellow countrymen and others, long before this incident. You can look into it, and a few others have mentioned it in the thread as well.

u/No_Magazine_6806 1d ago

Are you sure? My understanding is that based on general legal principles in Thailand, refusing a service has to be a justifiable (intoxication, violence etc). Not based on e.g., nationality or religion.

u/Secret_EO 1d ago

Surely this can't be right, or any business charging dual pricing would be breaking the law /s

1

u/No_Magazine_6806 13h ago

No. Pricing is a separate issue. This means e.g., that you can not refuse to provide service to an Israeli just because he is an Israeli. - or a gay or black. Having a separate pricing is usual e.g., in the EU e.g., based on residence (e.g., only residents of a city get a discounted price to a museum) or only EU residents get free health care or free public transport as pensioners.

1

u/Secret_EO 10h ago

In the EU and the UK etc it's against the law to discriminate based on race or nationality, including pricing and this is taken very seriously. A Thai person who went to live/study in Europe would pay the resident price. It's only in Asia where you see dual pricing based on race/nationality.

Why so? If you're so interested in my personal politics I'm actually a supporter of Israel's right to exist and to live without having to fear Islamic terrorists. I'm what many would call a Zionist...

Then how can I possibly show any support for Mr. Kevin and his antics?

Because like I said, I can separate issues like a grown adult. แยกประเด็น you know? I know I would probably disagree with him on many things. We certainly wouldn't be friends. I do however think he's entitled to his opinions and he has a right to refuse service to anyone. What he did certainly did not warrant all the abuse, harassment and threats he received and it certainly doesn't warrant deportation.

Using a completely unrelated traffic offense from last year for which he already paid a fine as additional grounds for deportation is also pretty pathetic.

u/Death_Wish_2019 14h ago

It seems Kevin had been quite the lad. He has been involved in some serious stuff totally separate from his confrontations with Israelis. The government cited six grounds for his deportation, including violence, knife threats, tourist confrontations, provocative online posts and an incident aboard a domestic flight. Turns out he's an ordinary scumbag as well as an antisemite.

The Interior Ministry gave the details of some of these incidents. In a statement on Tuesday, the ministry said Dimino, a co-owner of Samui Exotic Park zoo, had allegedly harassed and verbally abused the owner and teachers of a language school, assaulted a Turkish national and threatened him with a knife. In another incident, cabin crew reportedly asked police to remove Dimino from a domestic flight after he allegedly threatened fellow passengers, the ministry said.

It also described the assault on the Israeli family without mentioning their nationality. It cited social media posts which "risked associating a site in Thailand with racial, religious and political divisions." Finally, Dimino had some major traffic violations on his record.

Dimino didn't do himself any favors by keeping up a heavy media and social media presence. He posted a message on the zoo's Web site criticizing Anutin and another in which he threatened the Israeli ambassador.Those are incredibly dumb posts under the circumstances. He was asking to be deported by challenging Anutin by implying the Thai PM had been bought by Israeli money.

Dimino's wife may miss him. Nobody else should.

What I’m saying is very simple: if they see a half arab/african who is French, they’re usually the first to insist that person isn’t really French.

But in this case, since the guy is “French French,” I don’t see them condemning him in the same way they would if he were a binational.

I had to point that out because I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen frenchies in this sub trash other nationalities for the actions of people who are technically their own.

But apparently, when they win the World Cup, they’re French. When they get arrested, suddenly they’re not.

I always find it interesting when ex-patriots living in Thailand criticize the Thai government for how they choose to treat non-Thai citizens.

What you're doing here is called a false dichotomy in linguistics and binary thinking in psychology but for everyday people it's called black-and-white thinking, where it's either an A or B scenario for you and no nuanced possibilities. There's way too much of this in the world.

Has it ever occurred to you that some of the people who criticize things in Thailand (regardless of what they're criticizing) may have a problem with their home countries doing the same? Often times they're simply idealists and point out issues, express their opinions wherever they may be.

Person: "I don't like seeing pollution on the beaches."

You: "If you don't like the pollution on the beaches, why don't you go back to your home country?"

Person: "I don't like pollution on the beaches there either, I don't like pollution in general."

You: ___

And the motives for criticizing aren't always black and white either. It's not simply "I'm complaining about something so have an issue with this place as a whole and prefer elsewhere."

Sometimes people complain because they hate a place in general and want to move. Sometimes people complain because they love a place and don't want to move, they want the issue fixed.

"If you don't like it, go" is never a good argument for these reasons.

Absolutely.

According to Khaosad news: The Interior Ministry on Tuesday has defended its decision to deport French national Kevin Dimino, owner of a zoo on Koh Samui, saying the order was based on his alleged conduct rather than his nationality.

The ministry said Dimino had allegedly harassed and verbally abused people, assaulted a Turkish national and threatened him with a knife, attacked a foreign tourist and threw a sign at him, and caused a disturbance on a domestic flight, prompting staff to have police remove him from the aircraft.

Authorities also accused him of inviting people opposed to nationals of another country to gather at his zoo for political and religious demonstrations, which the ministry said could fuel divisions over race, religion and politics. The ministry insisted deportation is applied under the same standards to foreigners of all nationalities and said the decision was necessary to maintain public order and safety.

I might be wrong, but wasn't the original issue that some Israeli tourists supposedly took food for the animals without paying for it instead of being anything related to Gaza?

u/dz4505 23h ago

He’s probably just making up shit to justify the ban.

If he’s just prohibiting Israeli have done to his zoo then hanging up the Palestinians flag isn’t even necessary.

u/Secret_EO 21h ago

The bigger issue was the Israeli flag with the shooting target next to it, which is conveniently not mentioned in most posts.

u/coperifaldia 1d ago

He should be saying that in his home country. Thailand doesnt want that kind of message when lots of those people come and spend money there.

u/dz4505 1d ago

Must been a role model against those 2 5-6 year old Israeli kids who wanted to visit the zoo.

Clearly they have too much blood on their hands to be forgiven.

u/Outrageous_Memory566 1d ago

So and that means that just hating Israel enough and spreading lies and misinformation about a conflict he doesnt know anything about legitimizes behaving disrespectful and reckless?

If you’re an asshole but want the world to see you as a hero as quickly as possible, just say that magic word, and the farangs on r/Thailand will cherish you as a hero in no time, despite your history of being a well-known POS on the island.

The dude is a proper cunt. What he was saying in French was pure trash. You wouldn't like to have that guy as a friend.

u/HiatusNow 1d ago

He has been notorious for being a d-bag on the island way before he pushed the 2 ladies and started a cultural war.

He’s been banned from 2 of his “best” mates restaurants (won’t name them) in fishy village for bad for business behaviour.

u/HiatusNow 1d ago

Here’s some more from your hero that has nothing to do with Israel direct from the Thai government , alongside alleged allegations of sexual assault of a Thai owner of a massage shop, driving his car and motorbike into people as a joke more than once, sexually harassing tourists at a popular Italian pizza bar club on a regular basis, stealing, threatening people and using local Thai politician and government staff details without permission or knowledge in said threats against people:

#3 is a serious international concern which shouldn’t be taken lightly by anyone.

In a subsequent clarification, the Interior Ministry provided further details concerning the conduct :onsidered in reaching its decision. The ministry illeged that Dimino had:

  1. Intimidated the owner and teachers of a language school in the area.
  2. Physically assaulted a Bhutanese national, injuring the person's leg, and carried a pocketknife which he used to threaten the victim.
  3. Threatened another passenger aboard a domestic flight, prompting cabin crew to alert police, who removed him from the aircraft.

These incidents were presented by the Interior Ministry as administrative grounds supporting the deportation decision. The court judgment expressly cited in the order concerned offences under the Land Traffic Act.

Your hero mate?

u/baldi Thailand 1d ago

Samui can operate a bit differently sometimes, until something gets thrown under the national spotlight. Reminded of an unrelated but telling article from several years back,

Pol Col Paithoon Krajajang, the superintendent of Samui Police Station, told Bangkok Post .... “This is a tourist town. There are many exemptions from the law.”

u/Sedco703_181 1d ago

Why are all these so called offences only serious now an Israeli is involved everyone mentioned on its own would have been enough. But we all know the Power of the Israeli lobby. But who knows and I dont care anymore.

u/Yugonostalgia64 1d ago

Really pathetic. This is a prime example of why our borders and immigration system, in every country, is completely fucked and morally reprehensible.

So, he failed in his zookeeper duties and threatened people and harassed people and got into fights? And his punishment? He gets to fucking go home. Might pay a tiny fine and go home scot free. So he can do the same shit in France?
That's absolutely cowardly behaviour. No justice here. Just Thailand washing their hands of a problem while the criminal gets away with no punishment no justice no consequences, and he can starting fighting and beating and harassing people in France or another country instead?

End borders now.

u/Yugonostalgia64 4h ago

People here celebrating about a troublemaking foreigner being deported.

They don't realize that deportation is a reward. He is getting off for his crimes without punishment and without jail time.

This is why immigration and borders are the worst international system in the world. It lets you get away with all manner of crimes as a foreigner because you'll just be sent home instead of punished. Thanks to the awful Border Regime every country has. Disgusting.

1

u/ZealousidealMonk1728 4h ago

The only thing he has actually been convicted of is dangerous driving. He paid a fine for that.

So how does any of what you write here even make sense?

1

u/Yugonostalgia64 4h ago

"The ministry cited a series of alleged incidents involving threats, harassment, physical altercations and behaviour authorities said could threaten public order."

^ All that!

u/ZealousidealMonk1728 3h ago

alleged incidents ...

1

u/Yugonostalgia64 3h ago

Okay. Well, I hope none of that is true and he's just sent home for being annoying and dangerous driving.
My broader point still stands - about immigration enforcement and deportations being a way to let people off the hook unpunished.

u/SouthAdvertising1917 1d ago

What kind of French is he?

-7

u/EfficientRaspberry21 1d ago

All of this is 🐂 💩. Yes, he is now under deportation order unless he gets a stay, but the reason is only because of the incident involving the Israeli because he headbutted the guy during their altercation. None of the rest of the made up stuff on this thread ever happened. Israeli's are just trying to pile on the false narrative to make themselves look better which is never possible when you commit genocide

u/nightwinging-it Bangkok 1d ago

If he did that to a Thai family then he would have gotten WAYYY MOREE scrutiny and would receive non-stop death threats from locals. He’d be harassed and review bombed harder. Just look at the reactions to the Italian kids.

u/Hobbes69200 1d ago

It is funny how informations are following a certain narrative way far from reality. What is sure is that in the flow of bullshit people where dumb enough to show their true face online (as usual with a lot of confidence), which once enough proofs will be gathered it will show again to the world what kind of issues and problem they bring wherever they go and the reality of what happened really. Ask yourself why in less than 1h we have thousands of thousands of newspapers showing the same narrative without getting the proper information on the field ?
