Well that certainly was an expensive shopping trip for him.

He is a damn lucky man, that it is not going to court, or he might have been back in the cold in Norway.

What's you're suppose to do and what actually happens every single day here are two completely different things....you should get out more or read the news at the very least.

 

Does'nt matter if it happens every day, still does not make it right. Are you saying that it is ok to run around shopping malls and kick woman 3 times smaller than you? I get out plenty, I certainly dont see that behaviour every day. I think if you are condoning this behaviour then the 2 of you should eject back to where you came from!

[worldexpress]

She only asked for 40K? ???????? He's one lucky son of a Sven. But it could have very well been fate that brought them together.. neither of them got the clue from the "smiling policemen." They could have lived happily ever after with a great story to tell.  How unfortunate. 

 

What baffles me is how does one physically assault someone and get the LOS treatment and another gets his ass hauled to jail for writing a bad review in the same country? ????

[ourmanflint]

What an idiot. He got let off lightly

[Odysseus123]

Curiously enough-and slightly off topic-the only time I ever came to near fisticuffs in all my years in Thailand was in Warin Chamrap and with a Caucasian foreigner to boot!

Otherwise it is quite a nice,pleasant, rather old provincial town...

Not once have i said it's right, pls don't misquote me. 

 

I'm merely stating that had it been Thai with Thai there would have been zero police involvement, that's a fact.

 

It's just another example of farangs getting walked all over, they seem to leave their b***s behind when they depart blighty.

The Ladyboy says it was a misunderstanding, how do we know that ? It’s not like LBs  to steal ? Maybe he had a full trolly and LBs was near empty.

Hmm, I wonder how much compensation he would have got if she kicked him. My guess a wai followed by a sorry mister and to top it all off with photo op to the media would have done it.

 

Absolutely right,

 

And those talking nonsense on here about deportation, he would have been fined in court a lot less than this amount, probably between 1,000 to 3,000 baht and the matter closed.

 

According to some of the armchair super sleuths on TVF, foreigners need deporting for driving through an amber light.......unless it is them in the frame of course!

 

This is nothing for anybody on here to be ' smug ' about him having to pay 30K, of which the police would have taken a generous share, it only encourages corruption, it isn't resolution, it's bare faced robbery.

 

Sure, he was wrong to have kicked her and very stupid, but the punishment would not have been the same and never is, when Thais behave badly to foreigners! which they do aplenty!

The case is now over with no need to go to court. The media pictured the pair shaking hands awkwardly as many people including a smiling policeman looked on.

30,000 he can kick me in the a*se everyday.

Had I been the lady kicked, I would not accept compensation and push it all the way to court. This man needs to be put in the cold to deal with his temper issues. Figuratively and later literally. He's damn lucky this lady didn't do that. She could.

Dear Robblok, Norway’s population is 5.4M, Netherlands 17M.

Who gives a flying <deleted>? Why is this place always full of morons like you and sadly enough gets several likes on top of that. We are talking about a big ass man attacking on a small lady period.

[Bendi]

A norwegian named Tor Z..no white Norwegian with last name z. Ok maybe in a marvell movie. She had to go to hospital..ok. wont comment that. They took wrong trolley..been there.

He got a good percentage, thats why he is smiling! 

[GeilGeilertzen]

Cool that you can buy away problems or incidents like this. Good to have a few more options than in Europe where even most small incidents now are strictly enforced and laws are getting more strict everyday. In Europe small incidents can screw up your life totally.  
As I have money I definitely choose the right country to live in! Good Thailand ????????

[tifino]

surprised the BiBs didn't have the Fine component Raisewd, to absorb that easy-making 10000 as extra windfall after the Discount?

The article says she was wheeling it off to an ATM. Normally the ATMs are not inside the supermarket shopping area, but in the area after went through the cashier and have paid. 
 

That being said, it doesn’t justify kicking someone. It’s pretty clear it’s a mistake; she wasn’t running away and who steals a shopping cart in broad daylight anyway? You politely tell her that that is your cart; she will be incredibly embarrassed and apologize to which you say Mai Pen Rai with a smile on your face. And none of that is even particularly Thai—it’s how you would handle it anywhere in this world. 
 

Whether 30k is justified or not is a different question. He certainly was wrong and deserved to be punished. 

 

I agree it's the civilized way but this idiot has a brain in his feet

Aha. You just proved that you are an alien. 

As all earthlings know, smiles reach the eyes too. The age lines at the corners of eyes are often referred to as 'smile lines'  for this reason.

30k is still a bargain. In the West, it would surely be more severe than that. Court costs, lawyers, fines, criminal charges, etc...

 

Don't forget, she actually stole his trolley. He thought he was punishing a thief. Who would have objected if he had kicked a man who had taken off with his goods?

The problem is that it was a woman and he is a big guy; so it looks bad. So I have some sympathy with him; though I would not have hit her. But perhaps he was shocked and acted in the heat of the moment.

She got a nice payday out of it. Happily for him, he can stay put and continue on with his life.

  Guess Santa didn't give you the present you wanted this year. When a Thai kicks a falang big or small and makes it to the news, hope its you BTW, Il remind me to not give a ________!

[DjSilver]

What the hell. It should be the Thai woman who should pay the Norwegian guy money. I am so disappointed for this xenophobic country.

Not me, but its hard to know how the nutcases are distributed. Made more sense that it was one of the more populous expat groups. (statistics wise). I almost never see Dutch people in the news (not because we are so perfect but more because we are not that big of a group)

My observation of Dutch people is they can be very stubborn, but that probably comes from having to build dikes all the time. AFAIK the only Dutchman who became famous for combat was Anton Geesink.

In Norway what is the punishment for  such an unprovoked assault?

30K is outrageous.

 

What's this for? hospital bills / loss of earnings, where did this number come from??

What do you think it should be?

In my book, any assault on a woman is beyond the pale. I'd be deporting him after he paid the 30K.

Never hit a woman in my life, never will. People who do are moral cowards.

IMO 30K is way way too mutt.

 

He's Norwegian so probably loaded anyway.

 

I'd let someone kick me and get a couple bruises every day of the week for 30K a pop.

How much would you charge for someone to hit you in the head? You seem to need it.

Totally agree with your assesment of hitting women.

 

3000 baht or less.

 

What would a thai pay,

 

This women has clearly seen a meal ticket.
