webfact Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 "Farang in a Ferrari" - faces charges for assaulting Thai woman after car collision Thai caption: Scandal of farang in a Ferrari Social media in Khon Kaen in Thailand's north east was abuzz with stories after a video clip emerged of an altercation between a 47 year old western man who had driven his Ferrari into the back of a Thai woman's car. A witness said that the farang was boasting about being the richest man in the province and having parents who are connected to the high levels of the Thai police. The witness alleged the foreigner was ranting and drunk. Initially the police took him away after the collision, reported Sanook. Pol Col Prawit Thoha of the Ban Pet police said he had just been fined for negligent driving and released. Then the video emerged. In it the foreigner is swearing in largely incoherent Thai. He claims he is a "big guy" and blames the woman. An "f" word is used. Then a punch is thrown and a scuffle breaks out. Police have now called the foreigner in to face an additional five misdemeanor charges including assault not occasioning bodily damage, causing annoyance and defamation. It is stressed that they are misdemeanors and do not carry heavy penalties, said Sanook. They further reported that the man in the case had faced charges in the past for gun related matters and assault but they were dropped after the parties agreed to settle. In this case the relatives of the man are believed to have paid money to the woman driver to settle the matter. A witness at a nearby shop told Sanook they had come to the woman's aid after the foreigner started causing trouble and claiming that he was the richest man in the province and his parents were well connected to senior policemen. They claimed he was drunk and swearing and behaving belligerently.

It seems that the "Good guys in, bad guys out" rule only works when the person concerned doesn't have sufficient cash then. Local cops must love this fella. He is keeping them well funded. I feel sorry for the locals who have to put up with such an idiot, who is clearly an embarrassment to his parents as well as to farang in general. 16 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted September 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2019 His family must be rich if they bought him a Ferrari worth $200,000 in the US, that sells for $600,000 here. Only a family with stupid money, would do something that stupid. This guy makes the fools of the world look smart, and wise. He sounds like a juvenile imbecile. None of us will be upset if he is heavily fined, serves jail time, or suffers. However, since the army was installed to protect the elite and the wealthy, we know that will never happen. 16 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame his parents don't use their "influence" to have the fool deported. That would be good payback for him being such a dick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if it is a limited edition model can sell it for a profit. ???? Who's stupid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
