it had not been paid for ,they were still shopping ,the guy is a nutcase

Sure?

Because apparently the woman's mother took their own shopping cart out already. Without payment? Or did the mother pay without the daughter knowing? Maybe. I said it is a possibility.

And like others pointed out. The farang has to pay 30,000 THB. If a Thai would have done the same it would probably be one wai and that's it.

    I am not so sure it would have been 30,000 if they were both Thai, however, he deserves punishment after his display and should consider himself fortunate that the case is closed.

  • 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.

  • Im pretty sure had he been Thai it would be a lower amount. But I feel 30k is a good amount he is lucky that he wont get deported. What an idiot I wonder what brought him to do this.

Yes, but why not 5K for example?

 

30K for what??? 

She probably wanted a form of compensation for the trauma

it's not only about the physical bruises. it probably affected her mind too

 

If she was your daughter or your wife, will you agree if the idiot could walk away

with only a wai and a 500 bahts fine?

 

I will not

my wife or daughter would have retaliated for sure!

Look at the size difference between them..

 

Big guy. I'm sure those leg kicks hurt. And the second kick after the wai/apology/plea for mercy..

 

No problem at all with the settlement.

A muay thai leg kick from a 16 y.o would send him crashing to the ground. Too bad not enough Thais are trained in Muay Thai.

You mean if i think he was drunk while shopping.. no clue. I would not think so why go shopping if your drunk better to sleep it off or drink more. 

 

Just curious what causes someone to respond so aggressive.

If it had been Thai on Thai, it's highly likely nobody would have been kicked in the first place.

 

It wasn't but we can cling to this notion of a draconian fine just because he was a farang as being some sort of vindication for this rude and belligerent foreigner's totally unwarranted violence.

Who had "Norwegian" in the betting pool?

 

I had "Viking", where's my prize?

Why she demand money?

 

Are marks on her thighs going to effect her occupation?

It's a moral compensation for the trauma

no all injuries are visible

Because she was aware that the fine for common assault would only have been the 500 baht and a wai.

 

I guess Tor Z. discovered that "Vet du hvem jeg er?" don't hack it in Nakhon Nowhere.

Instead of kicking her, he should have asked for her phone number.

Wonder what the Polices  cut was though?

29,500

 

The cops typically do a 50/50 split on these sort of killings.

Nothing worse than men who attack women. A farang attacking a Thai in Thailand is even more off IMO. 
 

Anyone who does it should be jailed and then deported and black banned for life. 
It is common for these types to come up with excuses, but there are no excuses. 
 

It is the sign of a very weak and pathetic man. I bet if it was a man his size or bigger he wouldn’t have tried  it. Coward.

If it was my wife or daughter, I would be behind bars now, and him in the ICU or getting burned at the temple! He's lucky someone didnt beat the <deleted> out of him!

maybe he is on STEROIDS, that can create situations like this

Not a clue petal, i have no idea.

 

But should farangs continue to get walked all over like this so be it...

 

Are you one of them?

He deserved it, he had no reason to react like that against a woman, in any country. Not being walked over, just being punished for doing something he should never have done!

30K is outrageous.

 

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

Should have been 300,000!

He has n't been punished he's been ripped off.

 

Being punished would have involved the legal system, this did not - only people out for a pay day.

Behave....should he have been deported too ( after a lengthy jail term ).

 

Things like this happen daily between Thais with no reprecussions ( not saying it's right ) but when in Rome...

I have a feeling that they knew each other and for what ever reason either one or the other concocted the trolley story. He may have been looking for revenge for some other reason that they didn't want the police to know about. IMO In any case he got of lightly and I suspect the police got more than just 500 baht

Yes, yes, yes and No. There is no excuse in any country ever to kick a little lady, I'm sure it could have been resolved peacefully. In fact taking a closer look, I might have even tried hitting her up to go for lunch or dinner with me. Definately no kicking though, this is Thailand you are not even suppost to point with your feet, much less kick someone.

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.
