This didn’t happen in Thailand before

It did, there just apperars to be more of it now. Used to have pickpocket gangs on baht busses, jet ski scammers, and the ladyboys were at it back then too. More tourists, more of it maybe. Definitely the tourists' behave worse nowadays.

Here's an idea: why don't some of the Brits on the board start a gofundme to assist this lady with horrific injuries caused by one of their countrymen? They love doing it for every pathetic council flat turd who washes up in Thailand, so why not help one of those people's victims? I'd pitch in. It's a lot more productive than hand wringing and virtue signaling.

That is a good idea.

If they have money left from supporting Fund Me efforts, to get all the Brits in Thai hospitals without insurance back home.

Pattaya really does attract the worst of the worst farang kee nok doesn't it?

Yes, most of the horrible incidents are taking place in Pattaya.

This is the result of putting 1000s of girly bars in one concentrated area.

Hate comes from the untrained mind. The untrained mind is attracted to bars.

Did you wee yourself a little bit with excitement at the opportunity for a Brit-bash ?

As I promised yesterday. However, it´s not a 5 point and a 100% hit, as this man is clearly a victim of a crime. However, one can see that the guy is not that old so he would just fall asleep because of that. It kind of determine the mindset. Most probably going out in a drunk hunger or just so blown out since the day before that he falls asleep in a McDonalds. It awesome how high the intelligence level of some people is. He is surely keeping the flag high and bring joy and massive levels of proud to his fellow countrymen. Look at my guys! I am perfect example of something semi-intelligent people would never do. 🤣

Some way way off the walls around here these days

"Radio Silence" is not a good sign.

When a Westerner is arrested, the first instinct of the police is to monetise the incident to its fullest potential. The victim's rights are low down on the list of priorities, particularly if the family of the victim are rural subsistence farmers with no connections.

Has the assailant's full name been released yet?

Oh....so it's not caused by covid vaccine blow back, overexposure to social media, AI and cannabis psychosis?

Gutted.

I'm fairly certain the perpetrator will be footing her hospital bill plus a hefty amount for compensation.

Deport him on all 4 counts of stupidity.

I don’t usually give down votes because I prefer to give my own view and reasoning so as to encourage dialogue.

But in your case I’ll make an exception and just hit the down thumb.

poor lady, nobody deserves that..

I hope this POS stays in jail forever and get raped every day until he hangs himself.

Judging from the pictures of the perp, he probably doesn't have enough to buy his own way out.

I'd certainly hope so.

Whether he knew it was acid or not is almost irrelevant. Throwing any substance into someone's face is assault. He had no idea what it was, it could just as easily have been bleach or another corrosive chemical.

If it was acid and it has caused permanent disfigurement, I hope the compensation is enough to support this lady for the rest of her life. My concern is that he serves his sentence, gets deported, and simply goes home while she lives with the consequences forever. Authorities should cooperate internationally to ensure compensation continues if a lump sum can't be paid.

One question though. Why is a cleaner carrying acid strong enough to cause immediate facial disfigurement on a cleaning trolley? - I wonder if the liquid was an alkali cleaner etc (and the term acid was just used as a generic term for a corrosive cleaning chemical).

Because this low-rent property doesn't have a janitor or maintenance man and the cleaner saw a YouTube on the internet that said [insert name of corrosive cleaning chemical here] is good for stubborn stains and unblocking drains.

Yeah - I can see that - probably a strong beach or something - though thats academic - the mere act of throwing any 'cleaning' (or unknown liquid) into someones face is an abhorrent act that deserves and extreme penalty.

Break his legs. Break his arms. Throw him in a pit.

Just curious how someone like this ends up in Thailand ?

Interesting that you mentioned Cannabis psychosis because I just discovered that a young family member's husband suffers from it and goes into rages when the high wears off. He's a large, strong man and it must be terrifying for her and the kids. He hid it from the rest of us for years.

When you mentioned this as a possible factor I would no longer dismiss it out of hand.

Horrible crime

Funny condo name ........ "Porn House"

Did nobody else notice?

Pity he doesn't have the intelligence to leave it alone before he really does some damage!

As I have suggested elsewhere, it's not all giggles and munchies for everyone.

Any chance the British press will pick this up?

it takes a special kind of coward for these kind of attacks
