borderhopper2005 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Good to know that thoughtless bixch got arrested and punished. Even though 500 Baths fine is too little, 2-week jail term sounds satisfactory(unless the victim suffers no further damages). Anywhere in the world, pregnant mother should be treated with reasonable care. Physically attacking such people is the last thing I can imagine; they cant't fight back sufficiently. Or run fast enough because of their condition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sambum Posted March 22 Popular Post Share Posted March 22 (edited) "The repercussions of this offence could include a prison sentence of up to two years and/or a fine of up to 40,000 baht." Oh, yeah? :-" The violent Russian woman who blamed her period for assaulting a pregnant Thai woman in Koh Pha Ngan has been fined 500 baht and handed a suspended 15-day jail sentence." All in the same article as well! I suppose the key word in this is "could"! But really! 500 baht and a wai because she was on her period? Wonder what punishment she would have got if she was really sick (e.g. Dengue or something similar) The mind boggles at the disparity between this and the punishment for less trivial offences - like feeding fish or picking mushrooms!:- "Feb 22, 2560 BE — A TOURIST could be jailed for a year for feeding breadcrumbs to fish in the popular destination of Phuket island." "In July 2010, the couple had gone into Kalasin’s Dong Radaeng Forest to collect wild mushrooms for cooking. They were arrested by police and quickly sentenced to 30 years in prison, which was reduced by half because they had confessed."

Highlandman Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The way this story is written is funny and makes lots of incorrect assumptions. "Ploy noticed the Russian lady seemed to have difficulties understanding the Thai language spoken by the locals". Nonsense. Ploy, like nearly all Thais on Koh Phangan and many Thais throughout the rest of Thailand assumed straight away: farang = can't speak Thai, hence need to explain things in English. Thais sometimes even speak English to half-Thais, that's how xenophobic they can be. They use language as a weapon. Farang = too stupid to know our language is the assumption made. "Ploy said the incident destroyed her dignity as a Thai resident". A resident could mean she was a foreigner. Clearly, the article meant to say her dignity as a Thai CITIZEN, which is much different from being a mere resident. The Russian lady is also a resident, yet clearly can't claim that her "dignity as a Thai resident" was damaged. Only an actual Thai citizen can make that claim. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she were suffering from dengue fever, she wouldn't have the strength to stand, let alone walk into a business and kick someone. She'd barely have the strength to even walk to the bathroom in her home. She'd be lying in bed instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandman Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 4 hours ago, Freddy42OZ said: 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?! It will if she puts up a sign on the front door, which mentions the kicking incident and warning of serious consequences for not taking off your shoes when entering her business.

Despite a lot of bloviation by authorities, I don't think I've heard of any instance of a foreigner being prosecuted for an illegal nominee relationship. Well, maybe because such cases aren't reported by AseanNow. Edited March 22 by Highlandman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironmike Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 This is so wrong 500 baht is nothing, she should be jailed for a year then deported and never allowed back here, or maybe let the Thai ladies boyfriend kick her in the box then deport her. Russians are coming her on easy visas and just breaking all the laws, working illegally, driving drunk, killing people in cars and motorcycles, slashing throats and just being the rubbish race they have always been, Thailand needs to follow Sri Lanka and deport all of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything less than the same punishment will mean Russians are getting treated preferentially. If she gets preferential treatment, it's cos she's a woman. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanny Wilkinson Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Of course they should revoke her Visa. We (farangs) are guests in this country. Would you allow a guest in your home to remain after kicking one of your kids or pets? Thailand politicians really need to think more of their citizens and less about the income from tourists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Confuscious Posted March 22 Popular Post Share Posted March 22 When a stranger can come into your country and kick a pregnant woman because he/she doesn't want to follow the customs of the country without any consequences, something is wrong with that country. When a country gives you a hard time to get a visa for your partner but let illegal immigrants enter your country, gives them a free hotel room, free meals, free money, preferred court sentences, and other things for free, something is wrong with that country. When a country let his own citizens who have been paying taxes and fighting for their country let these citizens dying in the streets while offering illegal immigrants free hotel rooms and free meals, something is wrong with that country. When a country let a few drag queens teach your children that they can choose their own gender and if the parents object the child will be taken away from the parents.somethingvis wrong with that country. Something is really wrong with this society. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The real question is where do they find these judges, why are they so incompetent, why are they so out of touch, and do they reach for the bottom of the barrel in the Judiciary just as they do with the police, immigration and the administration? It would certainly. Just look at big joke, Sretta and Anutin. You can't get less qualified than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
