Popular Post webfact Posted March 19 Popular Post Share Posted March 19 A Thai woman on Pha-ngan Island, who is eight months pregnant, has filed a complaint with the police, alleging that a Russian tourist kicked and injured her. The woman claims that a Russian woman came to the shop she owns and refused to remove her shoes before entering, as requested. The Russian then allegedly yelled and used abusive language. When she was informed that she was not welcome and was asked to leave, she allegedly kicked the pregnant owner and left. The pregnant woman sought medical attention before filing a complaint with the police, who are currently attempting to locate the Russian. Several social media platforms have posted images of the Russian, taken from the shop’s CCTV system.

The Thai victim, known only as Ploy, shared pictures of the Russian woman with blonde hair on a Facebook group called Facebook Koh Pha Ngan, yesterday, March 18. In her post, she stated… “This Russian woman physically assaulted me, an eight-month-pregnant woman, by kicking me. Does anyone know her or where she stays? Please inform me if you meet this woman. I will never give up on taking legal action against her.” Later, Ploy discovered the Russian woman’s Instagram account and shared it in the group. According to her bio, the foreigner claimed to be an actress, model, and designer based in Koh Pha Ngan. However, her Instagram account was later set to private, and all bio information was deleted. Ploy later revealed to Channel 3 that she owns an organic vegetable shop on the island, located next to the coffee shop where the incident took place. On the day of the incident, the Russian woman entered the coffee shop wearing her shoes, despite warnings from other local customers and a sign outside that she had to take them off before entering the establishment. Vulgar language Ploy noticed that the Russian woman seemed to have difficulty understanding the Thai language spoken by the locals. Deciding to help, Ploy approached and explained about the shoes in English. However, the Russian woman responded with vulgar language, prompting Ploy to ask her to leave. Following the request to leave, the Russian woman became enraged and kicked Ploy in the groin. Ploy, who was eight months pregnant, feared for her unborn child as the kick narrowly missed her abdomen. Subsequently, the Russian woman left the shop without offering any apologies. Ploy then complained to Koh Pha Ngan Police Station, providing CCTV footage of the incident as evidence. Ploy told Channel 3 that the Russian woman’s boyfriend tried to seek help from a local politician in the province to evade charges. However, Ploy insisted that she would not drop the charges, saying the incident insulted her dignity as a Thai resident. Authorities from Koh Pha Ngan and the Immigration Office reportedly identified the woman and planned to summon her for questioning. They also intended to review her visa status, as some netizens suggested she might be working in Thailand without permission.

Popular Post 2long Posted March 19 Popular Post Share Posted March 19 How do we know the language was abusive? Sometimes I listen to Chinese people (who maybe discussing what to have for lunch) and to me it sounds like they're about to kill each other. Is this the next episode of the anti-farang agenda?

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted March 19 Popular Post Share Posted March 19 Are we getting to the stage where any altercation or negative interaction between a foreigner and a Thai is going to lead to an exaggerated accusation and subsequent social media which-hunt ??? There is clearly CCTV photographs... So why is there no video with the story ? Whenever there is 'hard unequivocal proof' of an incident (video) we usually see it..... ... So... is this 'kick made up' ?? where is the proof ?? ---- What really happened. - Russian walks into shop - Thai woman rudely shouts at her to get out she's not welcome - Russian woman yells abuse back - Thai woman doesn't like this an escalates Thai woman's contacts the police and social media playing the victim. Again - where is the video ?? 3 8 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removing footwear is the norm in Thailand. Far from stupid - I think that it is a great idea. Beats walking dirt, dog poo, whatever all over the place. Maybe the lady lives in a shophouse? We do not know. It could also be her home. The victim is the owner of the shop. Forget your western approach of 'it's the law'. No work - no dosh.
