Hunt for Thai man who raped Norwegian tourist on Koh Phangan

By The Nation

 

 

Police on Koh Phangan have launched a manhunt for a Thai man who allegedly raped a Norwegian tourist early Sunday after she had spent time at the Half Moon party late Saturday night, a police spokesman said Sunday.

 

Pol Col Krissana Pattanacharoen said the national police chief had instructed the Surat Thani police head office to speed up efforts to arrest the rapist at the popular tourist destination, which is known the world over for its Full Moon and Half Moon parties.

 

 

Krissana said the tourist filed a complaint with the Phangan police station at 8am Sunday, telling the officers that she had been raped by a motorcyclist.

 

She said she visited the Half Moon party on the beach in Moo 3 village in Tambon Ban Tai at 11pm. When she returned to her hotel, she found that her wallet had disappeared so she walked back to the beach to look for it.

 

 

On her way back to the beach, a motorcyclist stopped and offered her a ride to help her look for her wallet. After a short ride, she noticed that the motorcyclist was not heading in the right direction and told him to stop.

 

She told police that she jumped off when he refused to stop but he parked up then raped her before riding off.

 

Krissana said police have taken photos off the scene and interviewed some locals. Footage from CCTVs in the area would be examined to try to identify the motorcyclist.

Where do i strat? half moon bay party, lost wallet, gone back to 'look' for it, what, in the dark on a beach? accepting a ride from  a total stranger, someone she doesn't know in the wee hours of night, really? all that though, doesn't mean that a woman can't walk alone at night without to be mugged or attacked, but any tourist who comes to thailand should have families themselves with the possible perils of the land, and women in particular, should be a lot, lot more cautious and less trusting of strangers especially in the dead of night...

It is unfortunate that our (I'm Norwegian) young ladies are so naive about the world outside Scandinavia. Many believe that they can handle themselves and are "on par" with men if it comes to physical confrontations. Which is not true.

 

So, ladies, please dont go alone. And dont get stupid drunk or high. Take care of yourself. It's a crazy world out here.

 

Hope they catch the scumbag and crucify him.

This is the Land of Smiles....Holiday folk plobably think they are OK because of that.....False sense of security perhaps...

Long time readers here know a little different.......

 

BUT, can happen anywhere where folk think the natives mean well..

[3MagicBeers]

Can confirm two police/army helicopters are circling the Phangan west coast this morning. Assume its part of the investigation

[Wiggy]

For me, the photo accompanying the article sums up the Thai police farce (sic) perfectly. Just a few plods wandering around aimlessly and completely clueless, with not even a notepad in sight. Utterly useless.

[crazykopite]

I hope the young lady is being taken care of and is being given all the assistance she needs . It is imperative that the rapist is found and made an example of if not he is free to do it again. ☹️

[batata]

no where it's mention she visited the hospital for a body check, rape/forced sex or any potential sexual diseases, she's not worried about HIV or did the guy was prepared and brought condoms and had time to put it on without a fight..... hummmm funny story

These full and half moon party's are famous for drugs, mushrooms, raping and hustling but still naive young people from around the world get attracted to them. Sadly it always end with tragedy for someone. Hope the police catch the rapist and cut his dick off.

Nothing funny about rape Mr. Batata...

 

so if an article contains or not contain, that is your sole basis of your fact finding and if it happened or didn’t happen?

[Razek]

so if it happens always at or after moonparty the people going there should know how risky it could be.... why they are still going ? maybe they like the risk and excited by the idea, did it crossed your mind or is it too much.....

I bet he is far gone already running home to his mother for help and support and claiming to be the victim. They should build a hospital or clinic with support groups for raped women on Kho Phangan. I wonder how many girls get raped there every year without getting any kind of help or treatment (included those who never report it)?

Would the police who received the report taken her for forensic examination for evidence purposes and part of that would be an STI check

 

I hope the woman has received counselling

You should be ashamed by your comments about this case.

so wait 3 months before making any non sense posts

Q: How soon after risky sex can you be 100% sure you are clear of HIV?

There is no single correct answer to this question. One recommended strategy is to get tested 2-4 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after a risky exposure. Using a sensitive antigen/antibody HIV test, of those who are infected, most will test positive at 1 month; almost all will test positive at 3 months; and the rest will test positive at 6 months. If you have any symptoms that may be caused be acute HIV infection, you should be retested immediately, with an HIV viral load test included. Newer and more sensitive HIV tests make it more and more likely that HIV will be detected at earlier time points.

If you have been taking PrEP, tell your clinician that when you are getting tested because PrEP may affect the ability of the HIV tests to detect early HIV infection.

Remember, if you have had "risky sex," you may want to start PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) to prevent HIV infection. You should start this as soon as possible after the possible exposure to HIV, and ideally within 72 hours of the exposure--call your VA clinician or go to an emergency room or urgent care clinic.

You're making it sound like Phangan is the rape capital of Thailand.

Young girls need to take more care why would you go in the dark to the beach to look for a wallet and take a lift from a stranger in the middle of the night in a strange country sadly she has had to pay for her stupidity very sad for her.
