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 

Walking Street is one big gogo bar regardless if you're inside our outside. A respectable lady wouldn't be caught dead around that area. Wake up

Nope....  his nationality is irrelevant with regards to a person going out into an area well known for its 'hedonistic and wild vibe’ and being shocked when people behave poorly.

 

Perhaps it is because the guy was Indian that the lady took so much affront...  

Irrelevant perhaps, it should not have happened anyway.

 

But... how ‘severe’ was the inappropriate touch?... a slap on the backside or a full on motorboating !!!

 

200,000 baht is extortionate... But.. if it happened to my Wife...  hmmm.. Who am I kidding?, my Wife would never been seen dead in an area like that...  Why?... because this is the sort of thing that can happen. 

 

 

 

The outstanding question remains: ‘what was the inappropriate touch’  ???? 

 

Expand  

What, so a woman should not be able to walk in whatever public place she wants, without the need to accept that in some places it´s ok to break the law? Is that a sound opinion?

Does it matter how severe it was, when it was unwanted? Are you saying like that because the need to protect the male race?

 

Now we all know what a good and respectable wife you have. Wonder where you met her. However, the agreement to pay 200k is very good. Maybe it will scare others that think such behavoir is ok.

For the record - I believe anyone should be free to go anywhere they please (legally) and be free from inappropriate and illegal behaviour. 

 

At the same time, I also believe people have to be realistic and look after themselves.

 

The issue is somewhat more complex than the ‘black and white’ arguments we have read in the other thread...  Life exists beyond absolutes of the black and white world of right and wrong... Life exists in the grey area, issues become multifaceted, they overlap, intertwine, there is accountability... 

 

In this case the behaviour of the man was clearly wrong, but the lady also carries a certain amount or moral accountability to herself for placing herself in such an area in the first place.  

 

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but that is the reality of the real world beyond absolutes. 

 

"...would still be charged with causing chaos in public...of a fine up to 5,000 baht. ''  not condoning his actions but 'Chaos' ? so would would have happened if he just refused to pay her compensation, I mean, gets charged pays the fine, and goes home, she would have to bring a civil case against him, can one be detained in Thailand for that ??

Great article Tanakorn Panyadee, let's make these women aware that they can report these offenders. 

 

Should be more of these women come forward and report these offenders. 

 

I am quite sure that now the going rate is an extortionate 200,000 the floodgates will open?????

I think its going to be called the  “Me too-hundred thousand baht” movement... 

I hope this is not going to set a trend in Thailand of women getting money from men by "being abused/assaulted". I'd much rather women got money from men by trading sex.

You should agree a price before you begin touching . 

Don't handle if you aren't going to make a purchase

500 baht is more than enough to be entertained by a beach road girl, anything more than that is juts giving your money away for no reason. Perhaps the rest is for a tip, depending on the service?

I am not on Beach Road to entertain the girls, I am there because I like to look at them and have a blether if they approach me. I never approach them though there is the odd time a girl would approach me a second or third time even though she knew I was not going to let them "go with me".

There would be no time I was going to Walking Street when I never go into the bars.

Pattaya — An Indian man agreed to pay a Thai dance teacher 200,000 baht over an inappropriate touch on Pattaya Walking Street yesterday night, but police said he would still get charged as well.

So presumably he won't pay her anything then?  Isn't the whole point of paying to make the charges go away?

If he negotiated to 200K what on earth must she have started at??

 

What would have happened if he refused to pay?

 

As others have said it's an absolute extortionate amount of money.

And of course its only about money again. TIT

The 200k would include her compensation and the police service fee. Our shrewdest "insider" ANF Posters don't regard police service fees as service fees, however. Now they can be rather questionable sometimes.????

 Not the causing chaos charge. You don't want a Thai woman getting chaotic. All the male police officers know what a menace that is. Got enough chaos as is, no?

 

Only a little bit more, and no jail time, though.

Quite right!

Considering no details are forthcoming, only he touched her inappropriately, it does raise the question what exactly did take place?

Whatever, the princely amount of 200,000 baht is an absolute outrage and one can only assume the "villain" must have been coerced into agreeing to this amount or terrible things will happen? We will never know?

Normally any CCTV footage is published, but not in this case, which raises more questions?

Another oddity is that it seems this "villain" was apprehended in short order after the CCTV footage was obtained, was this just good luck on the BIB's part?

Conclusion, very fishy, but certainly a good pay day for the dance teacher and the BIB, who jointly lifted a large sum from the Indian gentleman.!

Am now waiting for a similar situation to happen again as obviously other people will catch on!????

There in lies the crux of this case. In the minds of most male tourists here establishment is properly defined as Thailand.

Possibly they're making an example of this guy. As Indian men are known for sexually assaulting women in India, Thai authorities may want to be sure the growing number of Indian tourists don't get the idea they can get away with it here, too, given the relatively free atmosphere of Pattaya.

 

Many here would like to believe that "unknown circumstances" would be in the perp's favor--to denigrate the woman, portraying her as a ho', and the police, of course--but the opposite could also be true. Be nice to see the video; the police may release it at some point; but it may be thought too embarrassing to a seemingly respectable woman. Besides, a settlement has been reached.

Yeah, must be great to imply one thing in one post, and cover eventualities in another. Good job. Would be better to stand for what you post instead. 

Wow, that must have been some sort of BIG time grope...!

Will be charged "for causing chaos in public."   ????
