webfact Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Amulet seller runs naked round Hat Yai landmark - blames Arsenal defeat to Liverpool! I don't know what came over me A Thai man in Hat Yai came up with an unusual excuse for creating a public disturbance with a naked dash. After running round a landmark Hat Yai roundabout Attakorn, 28, blamed English Football. He said he is a supporter of London team Arsenal who were knocked out on penalties after drawing 5-5 with Liverpool in the Carabao Cup last week. He had had a bet with a mate and had to run round the fountain and roundabout after losing the wager. Downtown Hat Hai police did not see the funny side after a clip of him running naked appeared on social media. They called him in fining him 500 baht for the offence. Attakorn - an amulet seller under the name of "M Phra Yoi" - apologised with a "wai" saying that he was excited and didn't know what came over him. Arsenal's 4-5 defeat on penalties was to blame. He was sorry for letting down the image of the southern Thai city with his antics.

TEFLKrabi Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hope there's not too much criticism here. You lose a bet and there's a forfeit. Sure many of us have 'paid the fine' when we were younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
