webfact Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Photo by Patrick Kalkman on Unsplash and Facebook/ ออยศรีและผองเผือก by Petch Petpailin A Thai mother sought help on social media after her teenage son got bitten by a rat while dining at a shopping mall food court in the Pathum Wan district of Bangkok after the mall refused to be held accountable for the incident. The Facebook page Oil Sri and the Gang (ออยศรีและผองเผือก) received a complaint about the shopping mall from the Thai mother and shared the story last night. According to the page, the 19 year old visited the shopping mall’s food court on Tuesday, May 2. While he was eating, a rat ran out of a food shop and bit his foot. A picture attached to the post shows the boy’s right foot with blood around the toe. The mother revealed that staff members of the shopping mall provided the boy with first aid and let him go after he signed a document stating that he allowed the mall to provide first aid.

mancub Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Seems that everyone "refuses to be held accountable" for everything here and the best recourse is to turn to social media to pursue a perceived injustice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torturedsole Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) From the article: Quote ... the shopping mall did not offer any compensation and was not willing to share CCTV footage of the incident with the police as well.

It seems in thailand the one way to gain govt and police action is for a story to show up on social media. In this type situation it's one of the only effective methods to get action, if truely warranted, unfortunately. Now there's also the reverse side where there are those that feel they are "influencers" and use it as a platform for pure attention or monetary gain or reward because in their minds they are special. Those are the dregs of social media and personally have no interest in them and feel they are mentally lacking in some key areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seem to be rats everywhere and I can't imagine how much would need to be changed to keep them out. I don't think many places could still trade, especially the outdoor kind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaisail Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 About 15 years ago, a lady got bitten by a cobra at the big Super Cheap in Phuket! Then a few years later, it burned down. But now it is rebuilt out of steel instead of bamboo so it can't burn down any mores but there are still rats running around inside the store. Birds also! Maybe a cobra or two!

As harmful as social media is, it's actually one of the few things that seems to be making a difference in Thai society. Unfortunately, we have the other side of it in Western countries, where it isn't the little guy standing up against the big guy anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
