The warrant was issued for his arrest on a charge of trespassing in the Crown Nai Yang hotel at Nai Yang Beach, abandoned since the 2004 Asian Tsunami.
After his arrest Anon, 48, was sent back to Phuket where he was freed on bail of B100,000 at Tha Chat Chai police station.
The arrest came after a complaint was filed on September 12 by Niphon Rungsimunwong, 30, spokesperson of Mahalap Co, accusing Anon’s company, Filmguru, of using the hotel as a set between June 17 and 25 to shoot a new teen flick, Tsunami Ghost, without permission.
The complaint said that Anon, the director of the movie, arrived with his film crew and told security guards that he had received permission to shoot the film in the abandoned hotel.
The complaint said that Mahalap had already rejected a request by Filmguru to shoot film in the hotel.
Anon and his assistant Jakkapan Janbeng – who had completed filming at the hotel – were both charged with trespassing on private property.
