Snow Leopard Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Well, she is still alive. If this happened in her native country she would probably have suffered serious injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Coming from where she does you think she would be a lot more streetwise; maybe lives in a white enclave and barely sees the light of day as servants do everything including the shopping !

If you're that kind of rich (Any race, in SA or wherever), you probably don't come to Thailand to teach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbezoz Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Glad she is well and the culprit has been apprehended. However on looking at her I have to wonder what the South African lady is waiting to teach ? boxing perhaps ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meddle Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Having lived in in the UK for half of my life, I can tell you the stereotypical South Africa isn't quite as bad as it's cracked up to be by media spew. You can't "streetwise" yourself against knife attacks in London anymore than you can having a handbag stolen. Staying clear of dodgy areas, yes.

Emdog Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Another fine example of showing the victim in focus (luckily she had sunglasses on) while the perp is pixeled out. Please don't tell me it is to protect that guy's dignity or rights. If that was ever considered, they wouldn't do "re-enactments" before trials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupatria Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Tomorrow's news: the honest cabby who drove her from the police back to her residence, gave back the 1.200 baht she received from kind cops but left it in the taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I wonder who made the citizens arrest. I wonder why she was wandering the streets with large sums of money and her passport in a handbag. I wonder if she did full research on the difficulties and troubles in the area of Thailand she decided to live/work in. I wonder why, as a South African, she was not a little more wise about street crime. (I lived for a year in RSA and regard it as the most dangerous, violent country I've spent time in). I wonder if she will persist with her plan to stay in Hat Yai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this happened in her native country she would probably have suffered serious injuries. It would not even have made the news in SA. This is a hundred times safer than South Africa. You get so relaxed here that going to SA for a visit makes you a target there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, strange, i would disagree, her country is much safer than here, crime and road carnage is out of control here, not to mention violent gangs of youths, sure sth africa has its areas, but those areas are not advertised as a holiday area and there are warnings where to go and where not to go, i have family and friends in sth africa, they have no problems, beautiful beaches also, they have pride in their country. but thailand is supposed to be LOS all over, i find they have no pride or cleanliness, just greed and corruption and crime.
