So you would happily accept it if he had groped you and you wouldn't mind at all ?

Ive been groped 100 times by women

 

100x 200,000 baht is 20m baht

Otherwise its sexism

That's what I was thinking. I wish I could be awarded 200,000 Bt for everytime a LB has inappropriately touched my ass as I was walking along BR, or BuaKhao, or Soi 6, or WS.

[Dialemco]

Would be interested to know what this man is alleged to have done as must have been very serious to attract a settlement figure of Bht 200000 and who will actually receive this money 

[harrycallahan]

What 200,000 every time a ladyboy grabs your nuts/wallet? Walking Street is a gold mine for male tourists.

This really is ridiculous ......  and I was correct in my previous post, she seen $$ signs. 

So from now on all you bar stool beer swilling guys better carry dozens of copies of NDA's for the bar girls to sign before they sit and chat with you ....  to avoid any liability. 

 

pathetic ....   this was all about $$

Shes been doing that same walk every night for 5 years  ......finally its paid off!

This guy was set up for sure .....    if posters can't see that then they don't really know how Thailand's cheats operate.

I wonder whether the posters who thought that it was the woman's fault for going out so late  at night and sort of deserved to get groped will now change their mind now its been revealed the perpetrator was an Indian ?

I don't know....personally I feel the same about it. (A woman has a right to walk about without being molested). An interesting question is whether the woman would feel the same had it not been... and how much the initial monetary offer, that she rejected, was. After that point she was just haggling? 

[ezzra]

Hopefully this shameful behaviour and it's out come will be given publicity in India to warned all would be tourists to behave themselves and respect the host country, something that is right now surly lacking...

[Thomas KH]

200k for a non-penetrative sexual offence. That's $5500. No wonder she didn't accept his initial offer of settlement. There was an agenda all along.

It may be down to a more general lack of respect for women.....

Well after the initial event, which I have no doubt was due to drunken randomness, and when both parties were in the station, a well practiced routine was executed!

If I walk Nana and one of the girls grabbing my balls I should report them?I don't think walking street after midnight is the place to be for good girls.If the guy was thai all would be a big missunderstanding,500 for the girl 500 for police and end of story.I don't say it's the normal thing to walk around and grop girls,but if I go to a bakery I won't complain they sell bread and cake.And 200000 wow,really?I Hope in the future all bar girls will run to police and report foreigner 

[mikebell]

Does the 200K include the payment to the police for their successful negotiations?

So..  the next foreigner who walks down Walking street and gets their crotch grabbed by a ladyboy, can they report it and get 200,000 baht ???

No. It only works one-way. If a man, or man pretending or imagining to be a woman, grabs you it doesn't count. Only women can be offended.

 

I see from the linked article that the Indian, just another low-class tourist that Thailand attracts like a bee to honey, is being charged not with assault but for causing chaos in public. Chaos? Really?

[KhonKaenLive]

Extortion. 

[Ironman1958]

Sorry, but no Thai lady goes for a 'casual stroll' in Pattaya 'Walking Streets' @ 3am in the morning,

unless they are looking for 'something'

[worldexpress]

Couldn't settle for a bouquet of flowers and a wai? 

 

Where does an Indian come up with 200k? An average Indian tourist in Pattaya shakes at spending 200 baht on anything.

Exactly, nice payday for BIB.

[Ohyesuare]

Sad to see all the victim blamers. Pattaya is a tourist city, as much as people who come for other reasons don't think so. Walking Street is a major tourist attraction and it's open late. Not every single women walking there at 3AM or any time is a prostitute and even the ones that are, you can't just grope them all freely. Those saying it's a setup, there's CCTV evidence of what he did and he seemed more than willing from the start to just pay for everything to go away rather than any protests about a setup or even attempts to deny what he did after he was caught.

We all have a price

[Andre0720]

Could be one hell of a hefty price for a small case of 'misunderstanding', as a Thai would call it...

Or this might be one scam that can become a reference for female scam artists in this country.

 

Could very well have gone behind a good looking girl, and grabbed her waist from behind.

Only this Indian fellow know which of the above possibilities is the right one.

Meanwhile, men, after midnight, stay home...

[Lucky Bones]

Rule # 1.

Do not touch anyone.

Expect consequences.

[Deez]

How much would it cost if a Thai male did the same?

[Skeptic7]

If Thai, he could have have kicked, slapped and punched her out and gotten off for B500. B200,000 is nothing short of corrupt extortionate robbery in collusion with BIB.

Be careful what you wish for, a precident has been set

[EVENKEEL]

He mistook her for a LB probably. Anyway, it's nothing but a money grab. 200K? Are you serious. As a tourist I'd take a LOS entry ban before I'd pay her 200K. Plenty of other places.

 

Now S'pore has some extreme touching policies.

No, I have never been to Pattaya and I have never been groped by anyone , let alone a ladyboy .

   Sexual assault is sexual assault and anyone who gropes another person should be arrested and charged 

It's all about money, I wonder how they agree on the price of 200,000 for a grope? If he pays out we are all in trouble, even the working girls will make much more money being groped
