A Chinese man, embarrassed by the behaviour of two Chinese women unknown to him, has coughed up for their restaurant bill after the two fled the upscale Bangkok restaurant without paying.

 

It’s understood that the women dined at the About Beef Lava Grill in Bangkok on the night of April 12 and then fled without paying their bill, which was over 2,600 baht.

 

The restaurant owner took to social media, sharing video footage that shows the women, one wearing a black dress, the other in white, fleeing the premises and speeding off in a car.

Paid up-front for when he meets them. 

Why are their eyes blurred out in the photo? They are criminals, not children or victims of a crime.

Coughing up for wayward compatriots could become an expensive habit, but good on him.

PRC Facial recogntion have caught and fined them already and banned from travelling back to china

I think I know them

Very nice man.  Chinese are kind generous people.

Why have so many falang law breakers recently had their uncensored photos published all over the media?

The Swiss doctor kicker.

The Kiwi brothers who manhandled a cop.

The falang pooper in Bangkok Soi Nana.

I'm sure there are plenty of others.

The one Chinese man who paid or the two Chinese women who ran without paying their bill?

In his post, the owner pleaded with the women to come back and pay their bill, saying the staff in charge of their table would otherwise have to cover it

 

Not so nice boss.

That's the custom in Thailand. It sounds a bit draconian, but they are held responsible for their carelessness. That is why, often, someone will count the money several times in front of you in a shop or restaurant or bar. There are positives in that, I suppose. Teaches staff to be careful and being responsible in their job.

There's a lot of good, decent Chinese people.  Unfortunately, the bad ones catch the headlines and creates the prejudice against all.

Same reason why so many Thais think Brits are a lot of fat, pink, male pattern balding, drunken, whoremongers.

They do this in Canada too. 

Were they pretty?  If you're pretty you don't have to pay. It's science.

According to this place, all Thai and Chinese are reprehensible and all Anglos are fine citizens. Even the ones that take dumps in shrines

I'm very pretty, but I always have to pay.

Staff should not be liable for runners…are establishments going to cover legal fees if the staff takes violence in stopping runners?

 

don’t shift the blame to poor staff for things beyond their control…you are the ones with deeper pockets and defend staff not abuse them

It's unfortunate when serving staff in restaurants are attending other patrons and a scum-bag does a runner and the staff are held accountable.

CCTV should be in every venue with notices letting patrons know it.

What are the chances their Chinese benefactor was put up to it by his friends the girls when they saw their faces on social media?

I agree. No real fault of the staff in this case.

Normal behaviour in thailand. This is why idiots don't understand waiter or waitress. Get very upset or violent about these things as they have to pay for it. Either out of their individual wages or combined staff tips.yes very wrong but tit.
