PHUKET: Police have yet to reveal the sequence of events that led to an Englishman physically restraining a Thai woman at a popular coffee shop in Cherng Talay yesterday (Nov 8th) to prevent her from continuing her attack on a foreign couple who had arrived and forcibly taken her mobile phone and bag from her.

 

Officers were called to The Coffee Club at Boat Avenue plaza early yesterday afternoon after the altercation broke out, with the four people involved in the altercation later taken to Cherng Talay Police Station for questioning.

 

CCTV footage from the coffee shop showed the Thai woman, Kannamon Chatphichathorn, 45, sitting with the Englishman, who Ms Kannamon said needed help with renewing his visa, which she said had expired.

what are the chances someone got fleeced 

Note to Englishman ....... mind your own business if you don't want to be arrested.

If you see two women fighting, stand back and enjoy the show.

Did he have a work permit to help someone?

From link  : Ms Kannamon told the press yesterday that she was offered B400,000 as settlement, which she said she had refused because she wanted criminal charges to be pressed.

 

If that's true I think there is more to the Ukranian couple that should be investigated. you  would not offer £10,000 settlement for a non incident

"Ms Kannamon did admit to the press that she had previously had business problems with the foreign couple."

 

If she was helping the Englishman with his expired visa and she has previous "business problems" with this Ukranian couple, maybe she's a shady visa agent or the Ukrainian couple are thieves hoping she had 800k in her bag.

What sort of trouble is worth £10,000 compensation for a bag snatch  ? 

Storm in a Tea Shop

well,  I thought coffee shops were for nice people who wanted peace and harmony ...... not a wrestling match   !

I wished something that exciting ever happened at one of the coffee shops I visit.

The Englishman, apparently illegally in the country, insisted that he and the woman go to an isolated area upstairs to talk. The Ukraine couple obviously knew where to find them, and when they came up to steal her phone and bag the Englishman restrained her preventing her resistance to the theft.

There's obviously a back story to the situation, but to take her to a quiet area and then assist the thieves with the robbery makes him very much an accessary, not a spectator!

The thick plottens.
