A group of female police officers heroically intervened to save a Thai woman from a drunken foreigner who was attempting to drag her away on Khao San Road during the final days of the Songkran festival.

 

The officers, identified as Suphannan Shinphatthachitchai, Nitiya Chanamin, Narinthon Saengchai, and Apirinya Jaksaran, were on duty supporting the Chanasongkram Police Station when they were alerted to the altercation and quickly stepped in to diffuse the situation.

 

The festive atmosphere on Khao San Road during Songkran took a serious turn late at night when a report came in of a foreign man, inebriated and out of control, accosting a Thai woman. The incident occurred around 11.50pm, two days before the reported intervention, and could have escalated had it not been for the prompt and decisive action of the female crowd control police officers stationed nearby.

 

The officers, part of the 4th company of the 1st Crowd Control Division, received a distress call from the public about a quarrel. Without hesitation, they sprinted towards the scene. Upon arrival, they found the foreign man in a drunken state, trying to forcibly take the Thai woman with him. The woman appeared terrified and helpless against the advances of the inebriated man.

 

The officers acted swiftly to separate the man from the woman, ensuring her safety. Their intervention was not only timely but also demonstrated a commitment to protecting citizens and upholding public order during what is typically a time of celebration and joy.

 

The foreign man was removed from the situation, and the woman was rescued unharmed. In a reassuring development, no legal action was taken as the woman did not wish to press charges, allowing the matter to be resolved without further incident.

 

Such acts of bravery and service by the female crowd control police officers serve as a reminder of the essential role they play in maintaining peace and security, especially during large public gatherings like the Songkran festival. Their quick response and professional handling of the situation ensured that the festivities on Khao San Road were not marred by violence and that both locals and visitors could continue to enjoy the traditional Thai New Year celebrations in safety.

Depends on the situation, but if the man put his hands on her and physically coerced her in any way, then he should have been arrested. And that is precisely what this sounds like:

At the very least he should be deported. Men who abuse women don't stop at one. 

Not much information. Could be also trying to get his gf/wive home but she was just out of control trying to twerk and get the attention of other males.

I'm starting to think all of these bad foreigner Thaiger articles are written by GOAT..... 

 

 

 

& before someone chips in, thats not to defend the actions of any person male or female, Foreign or Thai from imposing themselves on anyone else... so Props to the Police for dealing with this...

That's a puzzler...  The intervention was 2 days later?

 

"WOW"-What No Accountability??

So there must have been some time travel involved?

Pity the blokes in the vicinity didn't intervene and give him a slap.

Obviously the standard of reporting leaves a lot to be desired...

It just took them two days to respond to it.  A bit busy during Songkran.  Lucky the guy was being pretty leisurely about it and was still at it two days later.

Racism always gets a bad rep but different races DO have different characteristics so why do we pretend they don't?

Do they? Or is it that individuals have different characteristics  but racist perceptions like to generalize to confirm preconceptions?

Either that or they had a 'delayed reaction' 555

The officer did have the 9mm edge in any argy bargy though 🤔

He is very clearly not a foreigner. He is black. He is from Africa.

 

In the titles of the articles it should be very distinctly distinguished between: Foreigner, Russian, blacks and these light browns from Middle East. I don't think normal white people should be ever be put in the same category as the other mentioned groups.

 

What about Brits, Yanks and Aussies...  ????     I suppose Swiss and Kiwi's too now... 

 

 

Indians only need be highlighted in Ladyboy necklace snatches on beach road Pattaya ??????

A police woman would be the ideal wife.

It sounds like.... the incident occured 2 days before any report was made. Also it seems that the only report was most likely made by the police woman. Since there was no arrest and the Thai woman did not make a report or make a charge. Most likely this OP is a police hype. Something happened and the cop told her boss about it a few days later and they decided to tell the press about it to make the police woman look good. Also, it appears to be glorified to make it seem like there are more bad foreigners the cops need to deal with. 

I could be wrong in my assumption though but this is what this OP appears to be to me. 

Well, I've got to give it to the author of this amazing piece! According to his bio at Thaiger, "he consistently strives to deliver engaging content to his audience."
I suppose it can be engaging to consider how, "The incident occurred around 11.50pm, two days before the reported intervention..."! Even though the officers, "sprinted towards the scene" and "The officers acted swiftly to separate the man from the woman". I've got to give it to those officers! Sprinting for two days is awesome! That's some serious dedication there.
I can't say that I understand why it's "a reassuring development" that "no legal action was taken"?? It is the opposite in my mind and I wish there was legal action taken against this abuser and possible kidnapper! I couldn't care less that he was drunk. Perhaps all the more reason to take legal action. Would the author find that "reassuring" if the woman was his mom, sister, wife, or daughter?
And why are the officers lauded as brave? They were simply doing their job. If they were male police officers took this action, would they be written up as being brave? lol 
Yep, success! The author delivered "engaging content"! Got me engaged. Give him a bonus!

The intervention wasn't that prompt.

Better deport 90% of falang men...most all of them treat Thai women badly and look down on them as their bought property 

Getting back to the story, the article is way over dramatic.  Is it really heroism to control a drunk?
