A court in Bangkok, Thailand, ruled yesterday that the man who physically assaulted “master complainer” Srisuwan Janya last year must pay a fine of 1,000 baht. Srisuwan, however, demands 1 million baht in compensation.

 

The attack came after Srisawan accused Nose Udom – the nation’s favourite comedian – of violating the law with the anti-governmental standup sketches on his Netflix show.

 

On October 18, Srisuwan was giving an interview to the press about the comedian at the Crime Suppression Division when self-proclaimed ‘Red Shirt’ Weerawit Rungraungsiriphon shouted “Mung riak tuk yang!” (“You complain about everything!”) before launching several punches and kicks.

 

The political activist was not seriously injured. After the assault, Srisuwan filed charges against Uncle Sak at Bangkok’s Phahonyothin Police Station.

Could you just imagine the fun the Spitting Image team would have in Thailand.

No shortage of material that's for sure.

Anti-government stand up sketches. 
The hide of some people. Lock him up I say. 
Thailand is so much like Putin’s regime in the way it responds to dissent or criticism. Before you know it they’ll be falling from tall buildings. Accidentally of course

A good punch may deliver enough satisfaction to the one who punches to be worth 1000 Baht .

Srisuwan could make a business out of this ... ( a painful one ) ...

I don't think so, the ones most punchable who deserve it the most will be the most protected and you would get jail time as well as being bankrupted.

Good news for the types who want to smash somebody in bar sometimes?

Remember one punch can kill. Are there consequences?

 

A situation I am familiar with because friends were scuffling after drinks one hit his head on a curb. They put him in the car.  Never woke up.

only if the person doing the punching is poor and the person being punched is wealthy

The violent society in Thailand does not allow disagreements to be settled as in a civilized country. Violent offenders are "rewarded" with a fine of 1000thb????????????

Or anywhere else for that matter. As freedom is a concept, an unreachable goal, it’s all kind of pointless. Sorry, I was just stumbling about in a futile attempt to locate my vodka and saw this on my Line. Hope l won’t need to file another missing libations report with the moo ban. I suspect they’re growing tired of me - unlike all my pals here.

A friend of mine in the UK intervened when a bloke was beating his girlfriend up outside a pub. In the "scuffle" that followed the guy hit his head on the kerb, and my friend went to jail for manslaughter, despite the mitigating circumstances. Makes sense of the old saying that you shouldn't get involved in an argument between a man and his woman!

I saw a post on here a few years ago (ThaiVisa!) which included a video of a BIB conducting an interview of  an elderly farang motorist and a young(ish) Thai driver who had had a bit of a "coming together". Suddenly, the Thai guy lashed out and hit the old farang who ended up semi conscious on the pavement. The reaction of the cop was to ignore it completely and carry on writing in his notebook!

Did the girlfriend wait for him until he came out of jail? I’m desperate for a happy ending…

1,000 baht well spent…

You think Thailand is "violent"? Is this a joke? But I won't mention certain other countries in comparison.

Not at all! But he was also a bit of a "ladykiller", and I wouldn't have been surprised at all if she had "changed camp", so to speak!

If there were a "Go Fund Me" page set up for the man who did the punching to the 'serial complainer', I'm convinced that there would be millions of baht shown in support of this may who said, enough, and punched back in an explicit FO. Bravo. I don't advocate violence, but sometimes subtlety doesn't work in pushing back an aggressive fascist
