Na, the woman would have been charged for tempting the man to touch her just by being there. Maybe she would cop a little stone throwing as her penalty.

"after a 25-year-old woman reported to us that he had inappropriately tried to touch her" - now, you don't believe everything you read, but the article does say, "tried to touch her" which implies she was never actually touched. For a 150 baht "lady drink" you can "touch" all you like, and I am quite sure this guy would know that, especially trying it on with a room cleaner, so, I'm suggesting, either she was sexually assaulted, and is taking the 30,000 baht blood money, or she was propositioned, and is crying foul, thus, extorting 30,000 baht out of the REAL victim. Don't forget, you can punch someone in the face here, and it's a 500 baht fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like a scratched jet ski, or bullets found in suitcases at the airport, or a scratched or stolen rental motorbike etc etc. I wonder if the police office who arrived at the scene was known to the room cleaner?
