most of this is, as usual, total crap.

apparantly the VICTIM received a minor kick to the shin (cctv evidence so i hear)

if it had been in the groin, she would have got more than 500 baht fine.

from what i can see in the pictures, our Russian friend can kick me any day

 

Exactly!

The kick was not in the groin it was to her shin.   It wasn't a hard kick with steel toe-capped boots, it was a woman wearing crocs kicking at another women that wouldn't have endanger the woman's baby or the woman in any way.   If she had kicked me I probably wouldn't have even noticed.

Thankfully the court saw sense and realised it was a waste of their time. 

Also this "She accepted Alena’s apology but insisted on letting the police handle the case to avoid a recurrence of such incidents."  

Does this stupid woman think that because she makes a fuss, it's going to mean all foreigners living here and coming here will hear the story about someone being fined for wearing shoes in her shop and that is going mean she never faces a similar situation?!

I bet she went home with a skip in her stride...........🥴

 

But let's wait and see what immigration thinks.....

 

Teaching YOGA.....Hmmmm....................😂

[Excogitator]

If, now, immigration let her stay, then the message is clear; it's okay for russians to kick pregnant thai women, when in Thailand. You must, however, be ready to fork out 500 baht if, and only if, the victim decides to press charges against you..

Swedish guy:deported. Russian woman: 500 baht fine.

 

I don’t go around kicking people, but if I did, I’d pretend I am Russian. After all, they are internationally regarded as peaceful compared to those violent Swedish people. /s

[hellohello123]

And if the baby had miscarried her fine would have been 501baht

It must be revoked. What she did was actually worse than what the Swiss doctor kicker did. Anything less than the same punishment will mean Russians are getting treated preferentially.

Dead right, kick her out.  Kicking a woman, a pregnant woman, and over having to remove her shoes!!??  And its not like removing your shoes indoors is an unusual practice in this country.  This 'entitled' beach needs knocking down a peg while Phuket needs to be given back to the Thais.

[eumenades]

I have paid more than that for a motorcycle traffic offence in Thailand!

Alena Kupriyanova, the Russian woman in question, confessed to kicking the shop owner, who is eight months pregnant

 

Deport her for not having a work permit and performing reserved activities.

[Ben Zioner]

So how about the Swiss guy, who kicked the bottom of a not pregnant hiso Thai doctor? Is he going to get 250 Baht and one week suspended prison term?

 

 

[Gecko123]

Not going to second guess immigration's lenient handling of this matter. Let's hope that she and any other disrespectful individuals lurking out there have gotten the message.

[ChipButty]

All the Russians will avoid her coffee shop now, 

[Cabradelmar]

Boooo! Oh well, opportunity missed. I'm sure there will be others. 

[IndomitableSpirit]

Is it because she's Russian, a woman or both?🧐 My Spanish grandmother once told me, "if you will use your privilege as a woman card to get you out of trouble, might as well be a wh#re." 😂😂😂

[Ebumbu]

When it comes to violence, a woman's menstrual cycle is no joke ... period! 

[khunPer]

IMO, her visa should be revoked before her next period...

[ChipButty]

So a guy kicks a none pregnant woman and he's being hounded to death, 

[stix40]

These Ruskies obviously cannot handle the hot Thai climate! 

The way these Rusketts walk around as if they own the place.

Violent behaviour home visa revoked.

Go back home and help your soldiers on the front line.

[Rampant Rabbit]

Disappointed, at the very least was hoping for a public  flogging/possible stoning, cat o nine  tails..........whats the world coming to

Wrong, she could have caused the pregnant woman to overbalance, fall and damage the baby or go into labour. At that stage a woman and baby are very vulnerable. She is a selfish little girl. I would suppose that the judge was male, treating her as a little girl, feeling sorry for the daughter of a wealthy foreigner having problems with her period. The boyfriend already tried to influence the police, probably this time he succeeded with the judiciary. 

[TheFishman1]

so I good looking 41-year-old rushing girl kicks a pregnant woman and she gets fine. 500. I wonder if it would’ve been a guy Wut it would’ve been amazing Thailand, TIT.

It's a Swiss guy not Swedish 

[LALes]

Thailand knows who butters their bread.  Preferential treatment for Russians.  Westerners or Thais?  You're on your own.

[Expat Tom]

500 BATH! That is not only a joke but an insult to the victim. The fine should have been 5000 at a minimum 

followed up by the rude Russian being hung at sunset..... : ) ! .....just a joke about the hanging. In Singapore

the offending party might have been publicly whipped before being escorted to her departing flight. 

 

My point is that, in this case, the authorities might have been a little soft on crime.  

[Confuscious]

Most of the people who responded to this thread are out-of-touch with the reality and should go spend a few weeks in their own country.
This kind of judiciary sentences can be found all over the world nowadays.
I read yesterday about the court sentence in Belgium handed to a person for exposing a criminal movement on YouTube.
The criminal movement was not sentenced.
And about 1/2 year ago a truck driver, who was speeding and drunk hit a car and killed a family of 3.
He got a suspended jail sentence because "trick driving was his only source of income and he was never sentenced before".
This is not a Thai only thing.

[Colabamumbai]

How low can you go, 500 Baht, hardly pays the costs, give her the boot, 2 boots would be fine. 

[Bannoi]

Looks like she could do with a good feed perhaps she hasn't got much money and cant afford food so 500 Baht would be a lot her.

True, and I would make the same complaint about such lenient sentences elsewhere. Case of a British woman graduate being given a lenient sentence because a stricter one would have affected her job prospects or the American undergraduate who was basically let off after raping a woman. It tends to be money and/or educational status in the west.

[bkk6060]

They had a chance to set an example. 

I bet you see more acts of violence. 

Terrible. 

[cr600john]

if I had HIT my THAI WIFE it would have cost me a lot more than 500 Baht,
