Pattaya police have charged protest leader Narathiwat "Ken" Khamma with assault after he headbutted a 52 year old Russian man in Jomtien on Sunday night.

 

Daily News reported that the assault drew blood and was near the Dong Tan police booth during "Khana Ratsadorn" protests for the ouster of Thai PM Prayuth Chan-ocha. 

 

Ken was taken to Pattaya police station after the incident where he said that the Russian had called protesters the "dregs of society" and said they were "a virus" damaging the local economy as well as the whole economy of Thailand. 

 

He said he had tried to reason with the foreigner but after he dared him to attack he did. 

 

Daily News further reported that the protesters marched on the police station to get Ken released. The police explained they had seen the attack that occurred right in front of them. 

 

Ken was bailed in the sum of 10,000 baht.

 

Business leaders in Pattaya have called for Ken to explain his actions as they fear the incident has caused considerable damage to Pattaya, said the media quoting unnamed sources.

Police watched the attack and the build up to it but did not intervene to diffuse the situation. Shame on them.

The trouble making Russian was an idiot for sticking his nose in, especially with his daughter there with him. Idiotic. He had plenty of opportunity to walk away. The Thai was challenged and respond

Are you saying violence is justified? Anyone headbutting another deserves jail time, IMO.

The Thai was challenged and responded, good to see the other Thais didn’t jump in but instead stopper it going further. 

 

I liked how Ken asked the farang “why do you live in Thailand?” 
An overweight farang, in Pattaya, with a half Thai kid. What did he think he is doing living in Thailand? 
 

Unfortunately for Ken he was protesting against Prayut, so will be punished. If he was protesting for Prayut it would probably be different.

True, the Russian was beyond stupid for interfering but that doesn't in any way justify the cowardly act of headbutting him in front of his young daughter.

However, after living for so many years in Thailand I also know that Lady Justice was never granted a visa so will not expect the perp to serve the time he so richly deserves.

Thai  bloke needs  locking up as he doesnt  like someone else's  opinion,  judging  by the "packed  crowd" it was a huge event, I also liked the woman giving the finger, they should  lock her  up as  well for inciting violence. The  leader should be thrown out of his  bunch of  happy  campers and the group should distance themselves from him and his  kind.  Russian bloke voiced his  opinion nothing more.

She'll probably see far worse as she grows  up.

She will believe me but for now she is just a little kid and should be protected from seeing this kind of stuff.

Number one i blame her father and number two mister Ken.

Pattaya's low reputation went even lower...i have nothing to do there (i'm married) except eating western food....but for that i better go on holiday to the West where it's much better, safer, relaxed, cleaner....and so on..

 

I wish pattaya good luck with it's stealing ladyboys, corrupt police, agressive protestors, horning taxi's, crappy streets and high prices.

Are you suggesting that all overweight farang in Pattaya are here for the beaches?

What a POS who headbutts a man in front of his little daughter? that is the lowest thing ever she will be traumatised for life.

I agree, the fact that he was attacked while using his daughter as protection says a lot!

What makes you think it's illegal for foreigners to attend political gatherings in Thailand?  I'd love to see this law.
