Swiss retiree’s brutal attack on Thai woman sparks outcry in Trang

"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."

I was indicating that the charge, as reported, doesn't include that she fled and failed to provided assistance, which would amount to manslaughter, as someone else pointed out.

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

    Pathetic deflection, you will no doubt be quoting your own “ attempted murder “ next 😀

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.

That's a legitimate concern. It will be interesting to see if this case will trigger another anti westerners mob.

as no sane person raised in a civilized country would react this way.

 

 

Probably will claim he is on medication for an allerg🤔

So thats obviously the clear justification for Swiss Dick to belt the pi$$ out of the elderly thai woman whilstdoing the shopping. Now I see your argument makes sense. Also tells me a lot about his defenders on here!

Is this thread about a car accident or a farang committing assault?

Who is defending him? 

I like how these brave Swiss warriors always choose women as their fighting opponents. Some go even further in their bravery and choose the old women.

A few useless pricks like these are going to stuff things up for the rest of us if this kind of behavior continues any further.

Yes, at a minimum I think we'll all have to spend a week or two in an Attitude Adjustment Camp.

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!

Agreed, usually I’d argue that Thais are smart enough to treat us based on our own individual merits when interacting in person. 
However, on a National scale this behavior feeds the flames of nationalistic sentiment, which can be fanned with further stupid behavior by foreigners & the predictable nationalistic over reaction & netizen outrage. 

We only hear the Thai version of the incident.

A Thai would never lie of course.🤦‍♂️

She has been charged by the police, so what has it got to do with this?

Kind of disheartening, but why does such a large number of farang have this deep hatred for Thais and for Thailand?

Double standards..

That's what it has to do with it.

Let's see what the penalty will be for the driver..

(Don't hold your breath.)

Maybe he was high on Ganja. Ganja makes a person do really stupid things.

What is your excuse?

Really displeased with this guy for the damage he's done to the retiree expat community's reputation. Those who have apparently come to believe that Thai warmth and hospitality can be taken for granted, and that Thailand is a safe haven for those lacking civility and nursing anti-social grievances need to be disabused of this notion forthwith.

Pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

There were dozens of witnesses. Have you seen the pictures? He clearly beat her up quite badly. What's your take on it then? She randomly attacked the innocent farang then maybe fell and broke her nose and cut her face up?

He should be quoting it, because the parallels between the minor provocation and the horrifically disproportionate reaction of the driver who attacked him, and that of the Swiss who, for similarly minor reasons, savagely beat up the woman, are obvious.

 

Also because the contrast between the police behaviour in each case is so dramatic.

 

For the Swiss, within 24 hours, "The police have prepared to charge him with serious assault due to the gravity of Natchanan’s injuries" .......and they have happily named and shamed him .

 

Thus we can look forward to "outrage" from Thai netizens and demands for him to be treated most severely.

 

For BMT......nothing, several months later there is no visible movement from the police, and the would-be killer remains anonymous and free as a bird.

 

 

 

He's very proud of all his hard work getting that beer belly 555

 

The Swiss are really good at taking the heat off British drunks

The whole time americans, brits, and aussies have been busy [redacted]ting on each other - and it was the swiss who snuck in under the radar and turned out to be the real pieces of [redacted].

it is right and correct to remind the public about this.

 

but what is it with Swiss guys lately ?

 

 

Is there something I should know about eating Toblerone?? 

Habitual munchers of that nougaty chocolate seem to be a bit flaky on the outside.

 

So my Austrian mate told me

Over the years here I've met many long term expats that can't stand Thai people. 

 

I think this is what happened in this instance... Blew a fuse. Poor lady got all his frustrations put on her. Kick this twit out 

What wrong to the Swiss people 🤣🤣. Deport him quickly
