New details of the scandal in Thailand: an Israeli named "Yaakov" was fined 5,000 baht (about 450 shekels) for threatening Jindrat Satayaporn, the owner of Samui Exotic Park on Koh Samui. Police continue to search for another suspect who, according to authorities, offered a reward of 500,000 baht (about 45,000 shekels) for harming the owner. The incident began on August 12, when an Israeli family claimed they were denied entry, after which a French owner attacked the father. The owner explained the refusal to let Israelis in by their previous behavior: refusal to pay, theft of food, and offensive actions. Separately, Thai authorities are investigating the installation of signs at the entrance with a Palestinian flag, the inscription "Free Palestine", an Israeli flag, and the inscription "Entry Prohibited", as well as a figure resembling a target. The SwordOfSalomon page claims the owner previously called Jews a "dirty race". Thailand's Interior Ministry stated that all nationalities receive equal legal protection.
