The incident took place on Soi 15 in Pattaya. Mr. Artem was punched in the face by the irate motorcyclist, later identified by police as Mr. Wanchalerm Sripaisonthi, 35, who subsequently fled the scene. The taxi driver, who still hasn’t turned himself in and could still not be identified, also managed to escape.

Sink hole of the east.

Artem had turned himself in at the Pattaya Police Station after being heavily pressured by law enforcement.

Can anyone explain that to me please?

The really newsworthy part of this affair is a Russian trying to stop a fight, not start one.

Yes, you try to stop a fight between Thais, you have basically started a fight.

Am I incorrect to say the word 'arrest' does not apply if he gave himself in?... Police were simply sat at their desks at the time I suspect.

Look Mom, I was in Pattaya and all I got was punched in the face and a tour of the police station. I have pictures to prove it!

 

I think using the phrase "good samaritan" might be a bit of a rush to judgement. Lucky he didn't get stabbed. I don't think this young lad will be trying to stop anymore fights in Thailand.. unless he's really not done trying to impress his Thai girlfriend.

 

Meanwhile down the street ladyboy's are busy pick pocketing Indian tourists.
