Thai cops probe groping incident by foreign men in Bangkok

[snoop1130]

 

Thai police are investigating two foreign men who allegedly sexually assaulted some Thai women by groping their bottoms while the women were working on Khao San Road in Bangkok on Monday.

 

A Thai woman shared pictures and videos of the two foreign men on her Twitter account on Monday, March 11 after the assaults. She urged netizens to help her and her friend identify the perpetrators. The woman explained that they went to Khao San Road at about 9pm for food, not for alcohol, adding they were not drunk or provocatively dressed.

 

According to the Twitter user, one of the two foreigners grouped her friend’s bottom, prompting them to confront him and demand an apology. The Thai woman said the foreign man eventually apologised to her and her friend but both he and his friend continued to act playfully and giggle in front of her camera.

 

After the man apologised, the Twitter user said she turned her back on the foreign perpetrators and was about to leave the scene but one of them touched her bottom. The woman could heard yelling at the men when the foreigner assaulted her.

 

“What the f*ck!”

 

She said this foreign man repeated the sexual assault even though they had just apologised for sexually assaulting her friend.

 

The Thai victims believe the two foreign men may be from the Netherlands. One of them was identified as a professional poker player while the other had a picture on a Dutch news agency website.

 

According to the victims, a foreign woman told them she witnessed these two men sexually assaulting a female staff member at a restaurant on Khao San Road. Another foreign woman commented on the victims’ posts and their unruly behaviour.

 

“I saw these guys last night at a bar opposite Khao San Palace Hotel, behaving like pricks with their pals. They embarrassed themselves.”

 

The victims reported the incident to Chana Songkram Police Station a day after it occurred. They insisted on pursuing the case to the fullest extent and requested the police to revoke the perpetrators’ visas or include their names on blacklists to prevent them from assaulting others.

 

The Superintendent of Chana Songkram Police Station, Sanong Saengmanee, told Channel 7 that they would review CCTV cameras near the spot. If there is clear evidence of a sexual assault they would summon the two foreigners to the legal proceedings.

 

Sanong explained that the maximum penalty for sexual assault is imprisonment of up to 10 years, a fine of up to 200,000 baht, or both. Visa revocation would be subject to consideration by the Immigration Bureau.

Is 'probe' a good word to use in the headline?

[2long]

At the end of the day, there are lots of western men who come here and are unaware that this behaviour is normal in some places, but not others.

They apologised, but did it again... maybe they thought that they were ok to do it to different ladies, and they had no idea that this was not Nana Plaza.

 

The world of social media nowadays where someone does or says something wrong and is all of a sudden a wanted fugitive is quite worrying.

 

What about all the scams in bars and taxi drivers ripping people off?

Defo go for the 200,000 baht Option...  Thats the going rate isn't it ??? 

 

At least it was when a guy groped a woman's bottom in Walking Street Pattaya... 

 

 

 

As objectionable as sexual assault is...  Is a Western male going to win 200,000 baht in compensation when an LB grabs his sack while walking down cowboy ????

Time and place gents... 

 

Probably wrong on both counts

Too many males come and think every Thai girl is a hooker or available for sex.

Disrespectful and disgusting behavior they should deport to set an example.

and her twitter post:

"Yall know him? 21:00 At khaosan road these 2 guys came up to my friend & one of them groped her butt. Instead of being guilty he was giggling and She then proceed to give him a couple punches. The other bald guy was trying stop me from filming, they walked away"

! story for the police and 1 story for the "Outraged Netizens"

Seems there was an assault, just not the 1 reported.

yeah, sure-sure, Monday at 9PM for food. Gimme a break! 2 milfs came for some thrill, they got one.

also, even in Thailand none can claim whatever she/he imagine. Are there fingerprints on her butt? 3 witnesses? No? than sorry, 

To revoke visa or banlist smells like some shakeup attempt.

I'd say go to court and sue these b**ches!

Your sure a native, what up cuntry kicked you out?

Nice to see the Dutch stepping in and taking a bit of heat off of everyone else

I saw one of them, picking his nose.

Self defence is not assault.

What would you do if he groped your butt?

there's still no proof of the groping - police are correct in wanting to check independent CCTV footage before making the same assumption.

Many men who walk down soi 6 Pattaya get their dicks groped by bargirls all the time. Should we start filming these bargirls and report them for sexual assault with the potential for give them a maximum penalty for sexual assault is imprisonment of up to 10 years, a fine of up to 200,000 baht, or both?

 

A man can't walk from one end soi 6 to the other without getting his dick groped by a few girls along the way. Again, it probably depends on how you look. Some might say they've never had their dick groped walking down soi 6.

   That is the reason why men go to Pattaya though , they go there to get a woman to touch their knob and do other things with it , the woman there are just giving free taster samples

It's different when Ladyboys do it, because they're just using sexual assault as a ruse to get your wallet.

except a man walking down Soi 6 is probably hoping for more than just a grab

Just to also add that most foreign men come to Thailand thinking that all Thai women are for ‘sale’. But Thailand is in fact a very very traditional country and only certain part of each Thai cities and certain women are ‘selling’ or are openly promiscuous. And this is the same for most Asian countries. 

[ryandb]

What is wrong with people, if it happened as suggested by the witness testimony it is wrong, just keep your hands to yourselves or work on yourself until your advances might be welcomed (still wouldn't advise that approach with women especially Asian women who are generally traditional). Just because you're western doesn't mean every Thai (or even many) women are going to want you, especially if you are fat, drunk, and sunburned with a <deleted> shirt on.

 

Yes maybe Thai women (and non women) do this to foreign men in places but these places are where men are only there to get their dick played with anyways, never been to Pattaya so can't comment on that.
