Granny assaulted with a chair because she asked for something to eat

 

Picture: Sanook

 

CCTV footage showed an old woman being assaulted with a chair in the street in Thailand.

 

What looks like a trader goes up to her, pulls her bag then picks up a plastic chair as a weapon.

 

Poster on Facebook "Poye Poloye" said that the old lady was called "ee gae" that translates as "You old bitch".

 

She had apparently asked for some food from temple donations.

 

A picture showed her sitting on the sidewalk with a plaster.

 

A later post said that she was on her way home to see her husband in Sisaket and had now reached Pak Chong station (in the Khao Yai area).

 

She needed two stitches in the head wound.

 

Comment was rife on social media about what Thailand - and the respect for the elderly - was coming to.

Absolutely pathetic behavior to an old lady............

[richard_smith237]

Unprovoked assault on an elderly person. 

 

I would hope that the attacker (a middle-aged woman) faces some severe charges for her unnecessarily extreme actions and cannot simply get away with the standard 'Wai and 500 baht charge'. 

[Rc2702]

Looks like half a story. The attacker does not seem female either.

[colinneil]

Bloody disgusting behaviour towards an elderly lady, what reason was there for that woman to grab a chair? None what so ever.

Video evidence is clear, come on b.i.b. do your job arrest the scum bag.

 

 

Just looked at the video again, yes it maybe is a man, which makes it even worse.

Beating up and old lady.

You disgusting pig.

This is the kind of thing that does more harm to Thailand's reputation as a tourist destination than mostly everything else .

Rage is just bubbling under the surface.

Thailand is a very different place then it was 10-15 years ago.

They start learning this kind of behavior quite young. I see the kids in the corner shop near my house often push in front of the elderly at the counter. no-one says anything to them except me when I'm there. I just say 'wait' and push what they are putting on the counter to one side. All I ever get is a smile or thanks from the old lady or man and that's enough.

I don't know if the kids learn from it or not.

I must be getting old, I was shocked to see the attacker was a woman. In the 30 years since I first set foot in Thailand it's gone from the Land of Smiles and such a happy place to be to the Land of Sh**te and become just as ordinary and heartless as other countries.

[anon789561]

Well one horrible a***hole. I really can’t work out whether that is a bloke or a woman. Seems the vendor disliked her from the start so maybe something has happened before. It would have to be something pretty substantial to make me want to hit a poor old lady with a chair!!

[Sadanava]

Story is actually worse. Was on the news in the morning. The attacker was a older woman, a local vendor, whom had put out food for monks, as time for tamboon passed already, the woman asked for the leftover food. Allegedly the old woman took more than the vendor wanted to give and thus the attack. She was interrogated, but I don't know the results.

That video does not show when they are at the police station and old granny mom pulls up 2 bunks with Bath notes, many many 1000 Bath but still disgusting to do that whit her.

[TKDfella]

Yep, saw this video elsewhere on the net. At least others were kind enough to take the old lady to a side. As for the attacking vendor, other vendors should see he/she off the road lest they too become painted with the same brush.

"Two bunks with bath notes" What does that even mean?

[Thian]

The world won't see it because the world doesn't care in the slightest about a South East Asian backwater that has no influence anywhere about anything.

I really don't think that's what she's called.

 

 

[Sir Dude]

When you start going off into the deep end just because some granny says something, like asking to get some food, then you are lost. The intolerance of people now beggars belief. Happy to give to monks but not needy old folks, Buddha would not be impressed...and if you believe in this mumbo-jumbo then maybe the granny was sent to test the trader. Guess it was a massive fail on the trader's behalf if that was the case...facepalm.

what? you know that it has never been as peaceful as now in thailand?  thailand has always been the Land of Sh**te, it just havent been so obvious for many expats and tourists......

 

few years ago in pattaya tourists got violently robbed and attacked everyday, and in other places. Also daily shootings and stabbings in pattaya, now a days it is kinda rare, violence overall in thailand has dropped, less gangs out there too. but it might be the calm before the storm....

[worgeordie]

The wife says the attacker went to the old lady ,wai her,said sorry 

and gave her 1500 THB, so its OK now,?,  maybe she gave 1500 THB

to the Police too !

From the reactions I've seen you are apparently living in a parallel universe, but as always, one man's meat....

Pressure in the cooker is going up again. Visible in the general population already.
