Israeli woman visiting Thailand has visa revoked following conduct complaints by locals
The 33-year-old is not the first Israeli to face immigration enforcement measures on Thailand's popular tourist islands.
A special committee in Thailand is advocating for the revocation of an Israeli woman's visa following complaints about her conduct. Einav Ashuel, a 33-year-old Israeli, allegedly engaged in threatening and abusive behavior towards hotel staff and tourists while visiting the island of Koh Phangan. Two local police complaints were lodged against her, alleging that she used services without payment, shouted, cursed, insulted employees, and even threatened physical harm.
The committee, chaired by Koh Phangan District Chief Paisit Thongcharoen, recommended revoking her visa after a meeting with police commanders, immigration and tourist police representatives, and senior local officials. However, there has been no confirmation yet on whether her visa has been revoked or if she has been deported. This is not the first time Israelis have faced such measures; in March, three Israelis were deported for displaying Chabad Messiah flags and distributing leaflets.
In September, Israeli citizen Yaakov Ohayon was deported after being convicted of making threats during a zoo dispute in Koh Samui. Thailand has been increasing scrutiny of foreign tourists, with the Israeli Embassy in Bangkok warning Israelis to comply with local laws to avoid legal or immigration consequences.
