Foreigner furious that man who attacked him was "allowed to escape"

 

Picture: Pattaya News

 

A furious foreign national created merry hell at Pattaya police station in the early hours of Sunday morning after a man who attacked him fled while going to the toilet.

 

He was also a foreigner.

 

The pair - along with the victim's Thai girlfriend had had an altercation at a bar.

 

The Thai girlfriend said that a fist fight had broken out between her boyfriend and another man.

 

After that the other man went to get a knife and came back using the weapon to cause a wrist injury.

 

Members of the public intervened and the three went to Pattaya police station to sort it out.

 

But while the knife man was being questioned in the interview room he was allowed to go to the toilet and then fled the station.

 

Officers tried to locate him but failed.

 

Investigating officer Thammanchat Sitthisat just made a report enraging the victim of the knife crime.

 

No one was named and no locations were given in the Pattaya News story.

taking the piss!

He must be on holiday here, and thinks that the police are going to act 'free of charge' to sort the matter out ?

How much did it cost to be allowed to 'spend a penny'?

knife boy must have a few thousand baht on him and dropped it on the floor on the way to the head.

If they are both tourists, no need to get extremely angry. Then it will be easy to catch him when he tries to leave the country.

Also rasily can find out what hotel he stay at, or who he was travelling with that also might be the name of the room.

If they will do their job, it will say. I guess we all want them to start do that, don´t we?

 always happy to see foriengers speak up to police .....this ''you are in thailand'' line ,is so very very worn out...remember who the real criminals are...

More damage to the reputation of the international family resort!

The look on the policemans face says it all, i wish this bloody farang would just go away.

if the farang hadn't been involved in the confrontation he wouldn't be in this predicament ....   but having said that the cop should have kept an eye on the offender.

Sure, they can easily get him, if they want to! (I presume that they already have his name, nationality and passport number.) However, Pattaya police is so busy taking other crime victims to naughty Soi Pattayaland bars as tour guides (I'm NOT making this up!!), they probably do not have time to go to his hotel to find him...

Some how I do not believe Thailands finest minds are in any way a part of the RTP...

Perhaps the stations toilets weren,t up to his standards and he decided to pop across to Central Festival instead......

Absolutely. People who keep coming out with those backward and cowardly phrases to those who speak out, and stand up in the face of indifferent ineptitude, including such tiresome gems as:   'remember you are a guest here', 'if you don't like it, leave', and  'close the door on the way out',  all deserve a sharp cuff around the ear.

Yes, a cuff around the ear.  Then quickly run to the police when returns your cuff with a stiff bashing.

Sounds like you offer good advice.

Involving the police in Thailand has never crossed my mind.  They are to be avoided when possible.  They just make any problem that much worse.

Hahaha...

Just in case I may need it, are there more police stations with unattended revolving doors at the entrance?

His mistake was thinking the police are there to help or "protect" people. It is a complete waste of time reporting anything to them, unless required by (parasitical) government departments.

If the farang had not been in Thailand, the incident would never have happened. Clearly the foreigner is to blame.

The guy keeps on fighting instead he should thank his god for still being alive.

Quality tourists...
 

Don't need to say more!

Whilst accepting that it’s kind of on the funny side, I would have thought that after the last foreigner on foreigner incident in patts, (aussi being killed) that this would have been more than enough incentive to at least try and do their job.

 

what a continued embarrassment these boys are for thailand.... it’s just as well that they are above the law
