Pattaya dance teacher files report claiming foreign tourist inappropriately touched her while out for a stroll on Walking Street

[marcho]

If he had said, can I touch your beautiful bottom, she might of said yes. Silly <deleted> went to quick. 

[KIngsofisaan]

Groping is sexual harrassment period.

 

What is a teacher doing on Walking Street at 3 AM? 

 

Seriously? I am pretty sure she knows what Walking Street is famous for.

It seems she was about 2am out on Walking Street, and probably alone.

What was her expectation? 

 

I guess not getting sexually harassed was her expectation, as would be mine. 
 

Anyway, nice try of victim blaming.

How is any of that relevant? Mind your own business maybe.

43yo.. consider herself lucky no Thai man would be interested.

 

Alone on walking street. Obviously she was insulted by the offer and then his retort.

 

Seriously, when I used to live in Pattaya I knew two upscale floozies that wouldn't step foot near the place. Wouldn't even go there with the men who'd paid for their time.

And WHY is the nationality a big secret?

 

If it was a Thai man or a western man the news would be more than happy to say so I think......

 

Not many Chinese or Russians around now....

 

Soooooooo.......Who does that leave?

 

Well I guess I should say no more or Some one might say I am racist...

 

 

I don't think Thai news has been tainted with political correctness like in the west. If they have not mentioned his nationality it is because they don't know. 

Strange how she allegedly refused to accept his offer of money at the scene, but she probably thinks she will get a better offer at the police station, I wonder if she has allowed for the % that will be claimed by the BiB.

IT could well turn out to be an unfortunate case of mistaken identity for all we know

 

 The comments made on this website have no  bearing whatsoever on the ongoing investigation, members should be able to comment as they wish without the "virtue signallers" screaming about "victim blaming"  What are you trying to achieve by using phrases like that in such an inflammatory manner, other than to derail the topic for your woke agenda.

There are a lot of grubs in Pattaya (surprise surprise!).

Seen it all.  Even in bars with girls, you don't go grabbing private parts from behind, unless you know them well and it's okay and in good fun between the two. 

To do it to a stranger from behind on Walking Street is predatory. 

 

A sense of sexual self entitlement to anyone they want attitude seems to be the mindset for some.  Their 'off limit' boundaries eroded by their perverted and exaggerated egos, as well as their perception of what they believe Thai women think of them. 

 

And for the posters who obviously didn't read the full article - the man was identified, his actions captured on CCTV that confirmed her version of events. He freaked out most likely at being reported to police,  hence the money offer to try to stop her.  But a sexual/indecent assault victim has a right to report it to police.  It acts as a deterrent for most idiots. Maybe her actions saved a future rape victim?

 

Plenty of Thai women who are actually not hookers do go clubbing in places like Walking Street.  It's a fact! And clubs go to 4am. 

 

Being on the walkway at 3am doesn't automatically mean you are a hooker up for random groping.

 

Plenty of women up for your groping - they are prostitutes and you pay them.

If you would be a woman and you don't want to be touched, what would be about the last place where you would go?

 

Or in another way: If I would be married with a woman who is not familiar with the bar business, would I support her if she would tell me she wants to walk alone in Walking Street at 2am? Sure not!

And even with my gf, who I met in a bar, I would definitely ask her: Why would you want to go to that place at that time?

It's like walking with an expensive camera around your neck in Rio, at night. What could possibly go wrong?

The police will track down the miscreant when they have caught up on the list of pickpocket and gold snatches that occurred earlier.

If you look above your comment, I think you where about some hours late. However, it´s advice time. Read the article!

[mancub]

Hope she gets a decent sum in compensation......be good to set a precedent for all those unsolicited groping incidents perpetrated by so=called ladyboys !

Pretty irrelevant, unless you wanna continue your victim blaming.

I'm not minding any your business. You're the one asking why someone went here or there as if it was any your business.

Article says she was out having party with friends somewhere there. Walking the street where the hookers hang doesn't make you one ???? <deleted>, I did such a walk myself )))

Some just cannot distinguish between a working girl and a civilian. This is never appropriate behavior toward  a civilian, and only appropriate with a working girl, if a deal has been struck. Groping strangers is never right. And this is coming from a guy who is not PC, and not Me Too! It is about basic respect and civility. 

 

but is it appropriate with a working girl? does a sex worker does she not deserve respect? just because someone is a sex worker is it ok to go up and touch, grab, behave inappropriately with them? don't sex workers have the legal, moral, basic human right to decide who they conduct their business with?

IMHO victim blaming is often a stupid term.

If people don't use common sense and bring themselves in situations which they can easily avoid, and then things go wrong, and people point out that was predictable, why do some people call that victim blaming?

Life is dangerous, and in certain areas and i.e. at night it is more dangerous. Think and act accordingly!

Only fools do stupid risky things and are then surprised when things go wrong.

And then some people call it victim blaming when others point out that it was just stupid to take that risk.

Think, be realistic, and live longer.

Its highly relevant. 

 

While everyone agrees that no person should be touched indecently by a stranger without first inviting such behaviour there are also the realities of the location to consider. 

 

It would be naive to assume the world is perfect especially in such an area - this is not blaming the victim, the incident should still not have happened - but we have to recognise the world for what it is.

Me too and I got groped several times by schoolgirls and late-night beach goers still in bikinis. Not 1 of them offered me money afterwards though. ????

 

Since no one has asked, where's the CCTV footage that is always posted to back-up the story?

Where's the re-enactment?

Where's the mandatory finger point photo?

[Rampant Rabbit]

30  years  ago a  customer of  mine, a  wealthy dentist, came  up to  me and  patted  my  bum whilst i was working in her  house renovating it.

Still  laugh about it today,  traumatized , nah. she died  recently in Florida in her  holiday home. Well thats what this  story reminded me of.

[Andylongtime]

Walking street at 3am I think she was looking to do the horizontal tango for the right price. 

[hellohello123]

A woman gets groped on walking street, and reports to police....

 

This would happen 10x a day there.

 

Why is this news?

Yes, you are correct, women have no right to walk down public streets without being sexually assaulted… ????

I very much doubt you have had 100 posters giving you feedback to reach that conclusion and I am not the only to question you using the word civilian. It is very uncivil of you to do so.

Would the word layperson serve?

Or would that just be more confusing?

[lexxy]

Theres only one thing to make this fair. Lock him up.

 

Then lock up every female / ladyboy who has ever laid finger on a guy drinking a beer or walking down the street.

[cdemundo]

Just a thought, as to realistic expectations.

 

If a man is walking at 3AM on Walking Street should he just expect that ladyboys will grab his junk?

 

I mean it's Walking Street and he is out there strutting his stuff, tempting those ladyboys some of whom may have poor impulse control.

 

Or is that somehow different????

Who are the "most of us" you and your only 2 friends? Never heard that in my life.  These are people and don't need labelled regardless of their profession.
