Court Finds Sai Scott Guilty of Defaming Thai Marine Phuket
A court convicted social media personality Sai Scott of defamation and Computer Crime Act violations for posts criticizing Thai Marine Phuket over marine animal handling in a national park. The defendant received a one-year suspended sentence and must publish the judgment summary on two news pages for seven days. The case stemmed from viral clips in April 2025 showing marine wildlife interactions.
The court found Sai Scott guilty of defamation by publication under Criminal Code Section 328 and Computer Crime Act Section 16, as sued by Thai Marine Phuket Ltd. Since the defendant had no prior prison record, the court ordered a one-year suspended sentence. The defendant was also ordered to publish a summary of the judgment on two news pages for seven consecutive days at his own expense. Thai Marine Phuket and its legal team are currently reviewing the full judgment to determine next legal steps. The company expressed gratitude to the justice system, its lawyers, and all who provided support and encouragement.
