Western Engineer Assaults Pattaya Bar Women In Row Over Bill

[webfact]

 

TWO WOMEN working at a beer bar filed a complaint against a Western engineer at Pattaya City police station this afternoon (Apr. 7) for beating them up in a row over a bill and submitted a surveillance camera clip to support their accusation, TV Channel 7 said this evening.

 

Ms. Anchisa, 55, manager of the beer bar, and Ms. Warunee, 39, a general employee, told police that at 2 a.m. today a German man and his Thai wife came to their bar to drink beer. When they finished a bill was given to him but he refused to pay saying they had overcharged him and that he did not drink that much.

 

They then tried to explain the bill to him, with this totalling around one thousand baht, but he refused to listen and then attacked them.

 

They alleged that the engineer had pushed and slapped them as well as pulled their hair and held them to the ground then pulled them both out to the middle of the road. There were cars passing by but no one came to help them.

I'll bet his wife bought beer on his behalf and he wasn't aware of this, not hard to run up a bill of 1000baht when buying lady drinks, still hardly worth all this trouble for 1000baht

[champers]

An uncivil engineer.

[eisfeld]

Why does it matter if he is an engineer? Would it be different if he was a salesman? A pilot? An office clerk?

[gargamon]

Nope. The only answer is that they were charging lady drink prices for his companion who was not an employee of the bar.

I read he is a Wastewater Engineer in another article, it said he drives a truck, transportation of sewage. 

 

He collects feces from domestic septic tanks, a Crapologist.  

 

I hope he washed his hands before beating the women up.

Adds context, usually it's just an aussie

[Deserted]

Those pesky engineers.

[bkk6060]

It matters he is an engineer cause he actually has a real job.  Even quality tourists can cause problems. 

[Oliver Holzerfilled]

German and an engineer.  That's a double dose of micromanaging behavior.  Must drive the Thai wife crazy.

I prefer the tab in a cup that can be looked at after the first drinks, and we can see what we are dealing with. He isn't the first bad tempered German, and will not be the last, same applies to a padded bill.... something that happens as low season is entered. 

[DjSilver]

She deserved it trying to scam a foreigner in Thailand. She should have gotten more than this. She got off too easy.

 

More foreigners needs to stand up against these low life scammers...

[frankie machine]

They must not have bouncers in that bar, else he would have been beaten into a coma.

No matter what the cost he didn't have to resort to violence. All he had to do was give them what he thought the bill should be and walk out. This is a violent man who deserves a prison sentence and possible deportation 

[Maejo Man]

In the last 25 years I have been with mrs MM, I would not dream of taking into a beer bar.

[rwill]

A lot of trouble over 1,000 baht.  

 

I feel sorry for his wife.  She must have to put up with a lot of hell.

 

His wife said he had 6 bottles of beer and was very drunk.  Plus if she had some drinks the bill is not that bad.

But....maybe she was an ex-employee at the bar 😉.

He got lucky assaulting couple of thais in a bar normally the stillettos come out and you have a rather large headache in the morning🤣

Off to a slow start in this round of 'misbehaving-farang', the Germans are doing their damndest to catch up with the Russians and the Swiss..

What on Earth made you leave out the Brits in that summary. That happens very rarely!

So, in your mind, that justifies the use of violence and worse?

They have been a disappointment so far in this round. Maybe it's the hot weather..?

Not in the context of the article/journalism, but I can tell you that people who come from professional backgrounds such as aviators are 99.9% less prone to such typical peasant blue collar behavior.

Hey! what have you got against the Brits, we are still in the league.

[pomchop]

Anchisa said the foreigner’s Thai wife had told her that when her husband was heavily drunk after consuming more than six bottles of beer he did not listen to anyone.

 

There are bars where 150 thb a beer is the price....doesn't say which bar, what brand of beer or if prices were posted  or how many beers were ordered and for whom (perhaps buying a few for some gal he was eyeing while wife was in toliet)but if 4 for foreigner and 2 for wife  you're at over 1000 baht....i am inclined to think it is certainly possilbe that there are a lot of men who get heavily drunk and do not listen to anyone....if u think u were scammed then have wife call the cops to sort it out not violently attack the staff...

 

it also does not seem credible that thai staff would try and scam him with his thai wife there to argue his case...seems most thai gals who pay the bills for farangs go over the bills in detail and quickly call out any overcharge.

and you of course are sure that he was scammed?...were you there? 

 

low life farangs who violently attack women are ok?

[AustinRacing]

I suspect there’s more to it than what we read. Nonetheless, physically assaulting a human being or two is unacceptable.

My theory is the hot weather is slowing you down. Maybe get up bright and early, when it's slill cool, and attack some moo-ping vendors? You know, that bstard that charged you 6 baht when the going rate was 5...

More important to wash his hands after in some cases, quiet night hit the last couple of customers.
