BANGKOK — A 19-year-old Thai woman died yesterday in Tokyo, the Foreign Affairs Ministry confirmed Thursday, after Japanese media said she was severely beaten in a hotel.

 

The woman, who hasn’t been identified, died Wednesday night at a hospital, according to ministry spokeswoman Busadee Santipitaks, citing the Thai Embassy in Tokyo. She said the woman’s family has been notified but released no further details except to say full autopsy results were expected from Japanese authorities.

Bit too soon for that type of humor.

I would like to assume that also. Feels better than entertaining the other possibility that she was working in that hotel.........

The short post misses the important part about that Japanese man lying on the pavement.

Violent crime obviously. "Cultural misunderstanding"?

Thai authorities said the woman was there as a tourist.

Visiting the temples?

According to some people familiar with shop owners in the area the girl was here working illegally as an escort. Dangerous business. Maybe we will get some answers when the Japanese guy wakes up.

What did this guy not "tolerate" ?

I have several of my students/old students on internships in Japan so this made me a little worried, then I read that it's just a tourist so mai pen rai... just adopting to the Thai mentality we usually see when it's a tourist/foreigner that is injured/killed...

[oldrunner]

She was a working girl who should have been warned by her Thai sisters that Japanese men have tempers as short as their ding-dong. Sad for such a young girl to meet such an end. Hopefully the Japanese man dies from his fall and comes from a rich family so the Thai girl's family may get some recompense. No prostitution in Japan, just expensive 'short time rooms'.

Turning tricks in Japan does not make viscous murder okay. I expect the Japanese will need the assistance of the RTP.

Well, at least the Thais don't have to worry about the Japanese police covering up the murder to protect the image of the nation or some other such Thai rubbish.

I thought again, and I maintain my position. 

 

Japan, is not known for covering up murders of foreign tourists or expats to protect the image of the country and their tourism industry. 

 

While they are, like all Asians, and especially east Asians, quite xenophobic, they do at least generally follow laws and display a degree of honor in doing so. 

 

It is irresponsible to compare the Thais, who are primitive by comparison, to the Japanese, in almost any metric and especially crime.
