BANGKOK: Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said his decision to sign a deportation order against an Israeli national over threatening behaviour was consistent with revised regulations intended to strengthen enforcement and protect Thailand’s security.

Speaking at Bhumjaithai Party headquarters, Anutin said the action followed the intent of amendments to the Prime Minister’s Office regulation, designed to enable faster and more decisive enforcement against foreign nationals engaging in inappropriate conduct in Thailand.

He said Thailand could deport foreigners whose conduct towards Thai people, or behaviour within the country, was unacceptable, improper or posed a danger to national security or the public. The interior minister had the authority to act under the law, he added.

Anutin said Thailand wanted to welcome large numbers of tourists from across the world. However, those entering the country were expected to respect Thai laws, Thai people, and the country’s customs, culture and traditions.

“If they come here and behave inappropriately, we reserve the right to ask them to leave our country,” he said.

Anutin said the approach would extend to other cases where conduct met the relevant criteria, with the aim of enforcing the law promptly and decisively while safeguarding national security and the safety of Thai people. - The Nation/ANN

曼谷：泰国总理兼内政部长阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔表示，他签署驱逐令驱逐一名以色列国民的决定，是依据旨在加强执法和保护泰国安全的修订法规做出的。

阿努廷在泰自豪党总部发表讲话时表示，此举是为了响应总理府条例的修订，旨在更快、更果断地对在泰国从事不当行为的外国公民进行执法。

他表示，如果外国人对待泰国人民的行为或在泰国境内的行为不可接受、不当，或对国家安全或公众构成威胁，泰国可以将其驱逐出境。他还补充说，内政部长有权依法采取行动。

阿努廷表示，泰国欢迎来自世界各地的大量游客。但是，入境游客必须尊重泰国法律、泰国人民以及泰国的风俗、文化和传统。

他说：“如果他们来到这里行为不当，我们保留要求他们离开我国的权利。”

阿努廷表示，这一做法将推广至其他符合相关标准的案件，旨在迅速果断地执法，同时维护国家安全和泰国人民的安全。——《民族报》/亚洲新闻网
