Face-slapped ‘Nat’ draws line under the matter after donating his compensation to charitable causes

By The Nation

 

 

Ayutthaya hotel receptionist Panita “Nat” Kochprapa, who was slapped in the face by a Nakhon Ratchasima businessman for prohibiting him from smoking in the hotel’s restaurant on November 6, said on Tuesday that he no longer wished to talk about the matter after having given the Bt40,000 in compensation money he had received to charitable causes.

 

The 25-year-old ladyboy said he had also dropped the charge against Surasee Haengsisuwan, director of Nava Nakhon Sung None Industrial Estate in Nakhon Ratchasima, who had apologised and paid him the compensation. 

 

Panita said he had already donated most of the money to Phra Nakhon Sri Ayutthaya Hospital on Monday, and would spend some of the remainder on making merit, which made him feel better after being under a great deal of stress recently.

 

A video clip of the face-slapping incident was posted on Facebook and went viral last week, attracting moral support for Panita from social-media users, including from celebrity lawyer Atchariya Ruangratanapong, who offered to help fight his case. 

 

Panita said he would not be afraid to warn customers in future to adhere to the no-smoking ban, as it was his duty to do so and he believed in the hotel’s regulations and society’s law on such behaviour.

Yes .......a pleasant change and thoroughly decent attitude.

 

Mind you, I think  for the apology I would have wanted the full krab , not the usual wai.

Yes, that would be good!

 

My wife was just telling me on Thai media the guy who did the slapping is still proclaiming his innocence, he wasn't drunk, etc. etc.

I notice he had to have an 'enforcer' follow him into the room where the incident took place.

Serious loss of face for him. Great!

Nat is a 100% better person than that excuse for a man who did the slapping no matter what gender Nat chooses to be!.

Yes she's a credit to her gender.

It was a classy response to the slapper, who may well have been on the receiving end of a stiletto whipping if he'd pulled such a stunt elsewhere. And donating the money was a very decent thing to do.

Shows he/she has higher principles than the s**t man who gave her a slap...

It's a shame that the restaurant didn't stand by it's employee a bit more & insist on charges being brought against him for assaulting one of their staff members while carrying out house rules !!

Good for her!

kudos to the media for not giving into PC nonsense and using the correct pronoun for the bloke who got slapped.

Removed a troll post and the reply to it.

The one who got slapped is the one making merit??  Think it should be the other way around...
