Not at all the same thing, the guy was out riding at night on a very busy road, maybe he wished it upon himself. It was an accident, this thing is not accidental, pure rage.

 

Hit late at night by a women who admitted it was high speed, left him to die on the road and went home and had a kip. Then she decided to go to the police the next day? (Maybe waiting for the alcohol to leave her system)

 

No, not the same at all, this is far worse.

Yeah but there's so many naughty Swiss at the moment, I think a bit of confusion is justified.

In fairness he is heavily pregnant 🤔

It happened yesterday.

 

Yeah, it's bad what happened to her, but it isn't exactly newsworthy.

although i often am the devil's advocate, in this case the guy deserves to do time. we complain when migrants commit crimes back home, but we need to remember that we are guests here. this guy beat up a woman... 

 

and yes indeed, let's hope that one day justice is blind and all get punished the same according to the law... thaksin comes to mind

If you are retired here long term, you're not really just a guest.

Oh dear.

Straumann’s only response to the police’s announcement of the impending legal action was a terse, “Can not, I will go home.

So the low-life commits a serious assault, sending an old lady to the hospital and he thinks him "going home" is going to resolve his criminal actions? Absurd.

nice to see ‘hate your farang neighbor’ week still going strong..

 

they are slowly but surely turning us into the bogymen.

Let's hope the Thai woman who hit and run killed a 73 year old Swiss tourist in Pattaya last night gets similar attention.

 

May he R.I.P. 

 

But no, they will either say it was a 'misunderstanding', or 'suicide' by the Swiss... - With all the publicity about Swiss citizens in Thailand, perhaps some Swiss will think twice before booking a holiday here in the near term.

All Swiss.

Who would have guessed that Swiss men would win the competition for random attacks on women.

 

My guess would have been Russian or British!

Yet another Swiss angry at the Thais, yet there are only 10,000 of them in Thailand, they're making the newspapers now, who knows why they're so angry that they're going to go mad.  They watched the video from the Swiss embassy ?

Would point out, if she had stopped and reported the accident he may not have died. What started as an accident turned into a crime.

 

Yes, not equal treatment in information

Nonsense comment. The Pattaya incident was an accidenf, the Trang incident was a deliberate, brutal attack.

You think her not calling an ambulance and leaving him to die in a pool of blood was an accident?

 

You think she didn't notice her windscreen was completely shattered?

I think there was enough and much more that have been said about this subject, yes, this guy is an a-hole and

by now he got or will get what he deserves, but not like he murdered or rapped someone,

not as if the locals are white doves in their treatments of their fellow Thais, so ok, the message was clear

and everyone learned a lot from it... 

 

This is an entirely different incident to the one you are referencing

Us or the farang criminals?  I for one, have felt zero backlash from both the Thais I know and the Thais I've just met/interacted with. 

As for the farang criminals getting vilified, they've earned it.

Got to admit Bob this is pretty nasty and newsworthy

Talk about nonsense, take a look at your own post. She hit the guy at high speed, hit and run. Left him on the side of the road to die.

 

Maybe it was an accident, however her actions after mount up to manslaughter/murder.

Here we go again.

 

Time for the AN low life to come out and defend the indefensible , or lets have a bit of the what about this that and the other incidents, which are totally irrelevant to this incident.

 

This is not a minor case, it is an act carried out by a moron, without self control, full of his own superiority complex, a loser now and, just like many here, was a loser, I expect, in his own country.

 

If you do not like my post then good, maybe you should ask why you do not like it, maybe reflects on your own characteristics and true nature.

 

This fool, like many, lacks the intelligence to see how stupid he is.

Not last night but a week or so back.

"Initially, the police accused her with careless driving, resulting in the death of another person."  No mention that she left the scene and let him die... She is Thai after all..

This could be why the Swiss are attacking Thai women, they are fed up.

Getting justice. 😮

 

Very strange that 73yo riding his bicycle around midnight. Weird.

Not a good idea.

"This woman reported that on Sunday night, she was driving her car from Pattaya to her home in Huai Yai Subdistrict. She didn’t spot the foreigner riding his bicycle in the right lane while driving at high speeds, so she crashed into him violently. She drove home first, out of fear and shock, and then called the police and offered to surrender the next morning."

 

What bit of that didn't you understand Ben?
