Frenchman living in Thailand facing deportation order after refusing entry to his wildlife park to Israelis

A French national living in Thailand has been ordered to be deported after refusing entry to his animal park for Israelis. The man, Kevin Dimino, who owns the Samui Exotic Park on Koh Samui, was accused of 'threats', 'harassment', and 'physical violence'. This follows similar actions against an Israeli resident, Yaacov Ohayon, who had threatened Dimino and his Thai wife. Authorities claim Dimino's actions 'stoked racial and religious divisions' and have led to hundreds of death threats against him. Dimino denies the accusations, calling them exaggerated and claims he responded to repeated misconduct by Israeli visitors. Thailand has introduced stricter expulsion rules, emphasizing zero tolerance for foreigners violating local laws.
