I seriously doubt what you say. If you had been coming here for years you wouldn't be so disrespectful of Asian custom and practice. You are trolling l, trying to start an argument. How old are you? Probably under 16 years. You probably think you are very clever having developed an on line persona but your language gives you away

You must be a dinosaur if you think my language makes me sound 16.  I may be 56 but I still feel and look much younger and my interests are the same as younger people's.  I think old things are pretty crap and newer things are usually far better. 

Anyway, I've redacted it a bit but here is my HK ID Card.

Born in 1967 

HK ID card first issued in August 1973

I'm still a Permanent HK Resident.   

 

Take a midol.

The Kiwi and Swiss low-life morons, and now the Russian bitch. Not good!!! All these  individuals are relatively young and play the victim game to justify their actions. Similar to the Kiwis who were speeding without a motor bike license, ignored the check point and drove away, are now claiming to the NZ newspapers of being potential victims of "potential" police brutality. All of them are baby adults who throw little tantrums when they don't get their own way and get violent. Refuse to accept responsibility or consequences for their actions. 

Most of these arrogant people who come to Thailand have a superiority complex. They are literally treating their Thai hosts to being inferior , of less worth, and believe they can treat them  as unfortunately people from certain countries were treated a hundred years ago. 
The woman, and any  foreigner who uses unprovoked violence towards anyone , should be deported . 

Sounds similar to something that happened to me in a bar in Pattaya that employed Russian go-go dancers.  One of the Russians hassled me for a drink and I had zero interest in her.  So she kicked me in the groin.

That should read "Will receive a prison sentence of two years and a fine of 40,000 baht.".

That sounds ok to me. Fair sentence for being stupid, coming to a foreign country and act like Putin.

The Russian woman must pay the pregnant Thai lady all the pregnancy expenses if she wants her visa not to be revoked.

Υοu insult and endanger the lives of a pregnant woman and her baby and you say "pardon"🤬. Are you kidding us? You are not serious.

In firing range of wars across the world soldiers do not touch pregnant women and you kicked off a pregnant woman in super market? Swiss -New Zelanders and Russians ought to show respect and courtesy to Thai civilians.

The shame on you Russian "lady"!🤬

Was the Russian bird guilty..........?      😋

If you read all the reports it turns out she 'kicked' the Thai woman in the shin.  But there was no clear indication of how much force she used, but I would bet it was very little.   

Anyway, she's been fined 500 baht and given a short suspended sentence, which is reasonable I guess although I really think the whole incident is petty and stupid. 
The Thai woman should have just let the Russian buy something and leave.  The whole take your shoes off to enter a shop is nonsense.  

I wear skateboard shoes (like Vans) that I can't just slip on and off, I need to set down and undo the laces to remove them, and then sit down to put them back on. 
Not everyone wear flip flops or slip off/slip on shoes.

Nice dodge, the assault was proven......

And why should the hi-so Russian be given preference over everyone else..?

 

Do you take your shoes off at a residence where they all do, or a Wat, where they all do, or are YOU and your Russian lot special.....?

 

Gawd.............

 

Try learning something about the region, and not your Russian culture in LOS..

I have been to a Wat (a few actually) and did take my shoes off, however I was not wearing nice shoes that were a bit of a hassle to take on/off. 

I am a staunch atheist who thinks all religion is nonsense and that anyone believing in any of it is an idiot.  So I've only ever been to wats because I had to go with someone else (visiting friends etc). 

I take my shoes off to enter someone's house if they ask for it.  But I don't automatically.

Glad to hear it, just pass it on to your Russian folk, save a lot of hassle...........😉

Combination of circumstances. Bad behaviour by the Russian on a bad day for her, annoying shoes off requirement in what is clearly a shop rather than a private house, over-reaction by the 'victim' to what was more of a rude gesture than a kick.

The reason that they do is because it is convenient when being polite and following the cultural norm in removing shoes.

Your entitlement does not mean that it is a stupid thing to do.

She also has a left groin like everyone else

We only have one groin!  It’s between the right and left thighs!

Perhaps something is lost in translation. 'Right' as in correct groin or maybe as in right proper groin or right on the groin? 

We only have one groin, so “in the groin” would be correct, right and proper! 😂

There are 2 sides i.e. left groin and right groin distinctly marked in anatomy text books

A Russian woman accused of assaulting a pregnant Thai shopkeeper on the island of Koh Pha Ngan, located in the province of Surat Thani, claimed that she did it because she was on her period.

 

Get lost!!
