Bangkok—On March 1st, 2024, Samran Rat police officers summoned a man who allegedly dined and dashed from Jay Fai Pratu Phee restaurant in Phra Nakhon, Bangkok, for interrogation regarding the incident.

The man in suspect, whose name was withheld by the police, was a former local government official. After a 30-minute police interrogation, the man apologized face-to-face to Jay Fai, the owner of the famous One-Michelin-Star restaurant. He also complimented her delicious Beef Pad Gra Prow.

 

The man reportedly told the police that he did not impersonate a police officer as the restaurant posted on social media. He simply had a memory disorder and forgot to pay the bills. According to Thai national media, he allegedly had never dined and dashed before.

More likely he forgot to do his usual "do you know who I am?" bully tactic when the bill came.  If not for the press coverage and the place being a landmark he would be laughing in everyone's face.

Or did he simply forget that he had a memory disorder?

Pull his Medical records. Name and Shame. Strange he remembers what he ate and how delicious it was. He needs a good kick in the back. 

Typical when they have an accident, it’s always the brakes failed when they forget to pay and run out after eating. It’s a brain disorder L O L. TIT

Used the "Biden" excuse.

It's important to remember one's memory disorder when necessary.

How does he know that? Maybe he did it before but just forgot about it.

or he has never been caught before.

I would think the average noodle stall would just let the thief run, calling the BiB will just involve losing more money.

In Brazil, politicians and their like do not pay their restaurant tabs, a torrent of pompous outrage would ensue if the bill was presented to them, and the place will probably go out of business soon after.

 

Memory disorder - is this the new brake failure???

 

“I shot him cos I have a memory disorder”…   I wonder if every incident will soon be put down to memory erm mental disorders…. 

 

 

They think they are so important they shouldn't have to pay.   Anyone here who calls themselves a 'Government Official' (Civil Servant to us) thinks they are above all other beings !
