 Does she ....keep quiet?  She dealt with it in her way...  perhaps, her intention was more self-promotion...

Or to get attention to the fact that some man don't know how to behave and put women in awkward positions.

as the average thai gal usually finds walking DOWN the mrt stairs too strenuous cant imagine droves of women going to leann martial arts that involves discipline, pain, practice, physical activity greater than playing facebook

I've seen tens-of-thousands of "thai gal" walking down MRT and BTS stairs, but I have never seen evidence of it being "too strenuous" for them. What are you seeing that I don't see? I'm guessing you don't see anything of the sort.

The woman has no teeth, is this a martial arts thing? I mean I got one capped tooth knocked out but I only did martial arts for a year or two. Anyway, that, in itself, should be sufficient to discourage unwanted advances. Yeah, wear a mouthguard. Good advice for guys as well, nobody's gonna mess with you if you're wearing a mouthguard, or at least they'll think twice.

This seems an untrue observation. There are lots of Thai females at gyms, fitness circuits and sports clubs. They are notable on the fitness circuit around Big Buddha in Pratumnak.
