Popular Post snoop1130 Posted June 10 Popular Post Share Posted June 10 A Russian man spat on a Thai woman and tried to slap her at Wat Naka Intersection in Phuket on May 29 in anger over a traffic light misunderstanding. The 46 year old Thai woman, Phatchareeya Rattanatorrakarn, accompanied by her husband, Boonyong Burirak, filed a complaint against the Russian at Vichit Police Station at 2pm on May 29. Phatchareeya said the foreign man spat on her and tried to assault her. Phatchareeya recounted the incident to the police, saying Boonyong was driving along Chao Fah Tawan Tok Road and stopped at a traffic light in the right lane at the Wat Naka Intersection. While waiting, a sedan behind them repeatedly honked its horn. The sedan driver honked long and loudly before moving to another lane on the right of Phatchareeya’s car to park next to her. The sedan driver lowered the car window, allowing Phatchareeya to see that he was a foreigner. The foreign man then knocked on Phatchareeya’s window, asking her to open it and speak with him. As soon as she did, he reached into her car and attempted to slap her, but she managed to avoid the assault. He then insulted her with vulgarities before speeding away. Phatchareeya was confident that she had neither annoyed the foreign driver nor broken any traffic laws. She suspected that he might have misunderstood the traffic light. Russian apologises Phatchareeya’s lane was for vehicles turning right and had to wait for a separate traffic light. The man may have thought he could drive straight into the lane and become angry with her and her husband for stopping even if the traffic light was green. However, that light was only for vehicles going straight on the other lanes. Phatchareeya’s husband chased after the foreigner but could not stop him in time. They visited a nearby petrol station to clean her face, which was dirty with the foreign man’s saliva, before filing the complaint. Police officers identified the foreigner as a Russian man but were unable to summon him because he had already returned to his home country. The foreign man sent his lawyer to the police station to acknowledge the charges. The lawyer issued an apology on behalf of his Russian client and the suspect apologised to the victim via video conference. He said he would travel to Thailand in September to receive punishment. The man faces two charges, including: Section 295 of the Criminal Law: physically assaulting. The punishment is imprisonment of up to two years, a fine of up to 40,000 baht, or both. Section 393 of the Criminal Law: insulting, humiliating, or causing damage to another person. The penalty is imprisonment of up to one month, a fine of up to 10,000 baht, or both.

I thought someone said bad guys out 5555. The context of the "bad guys out" statement was that overstayers were defined as the "bad guys". As long as he is all visa'd up he remains a "good guy". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spermwhale Posted June 10 Popular Post Share Posted June 10 (edited) What can make someone get so upset that they spit on someone? Really? He's a scumbag and lowlife. He should be barred from entering the kingdom. I'm sure he'll come back to get his punishment! And if he had a lawyer in Thailand, it means he's Russian mob. But that bloke in the photo could not be his lawyer because foreigners are not allowed to practice law in Thailand. They can only serve in an advisory status. They certainly cannot represent them before the court. The Thai authorities need to do a clean sweep and get rid of the Ruskie mob before they start trying to take control of local police. .

Popular Post wensiensheng Posted June 11 Popular Post Share Posted June 11 Clearly this guy is no tourist. If he were, he would have gone home and forgotten the incident. The fact he has a lawyer in Phuket and intends to return in September indicates he has business and/or family here.

Popular Post Expat Tom Posted June 11 Popular Post Share Posted June 11 Always be careful what you wish for. The "Bangkok Brain Trust" (BBT) saw $$$ signs in their eyes when Russians fled the Ukraine war so they rolled out the red carpet to get them here. They might have done some basic research first but making decisions after doing due diligence doesn't seem to translate into Thai. You don't need to consult MI6 or the CIA to confirm that out of 180 countries, Russia ranks 141 on the world corruption index (transparency.org). BTW, visit Transparenct.org and see when your country and Thailand ranks on the "World Corruption Index". Criminality is the norm in Russia. Sure, there are lots of very normal Russian families trying to flee their dictator's arbitrary invasion of their neighbor. However, one might conclude that there would be lots of Russian Mafia too boot. I have some news for the BBT ( Bangkok Brain Trust). If you sleep with dogs, you will get fleas. Here is another suggestion for ASEAN NOW. Why don't you make a special heading for your news missives called "The Russian Crime Report". I file all of the news like this in my "RFL File". ....."Reasons For Leaving". I have lived here for 15 years. I am not going to abandon a country that I love completely but starting this year, I will spend about 50% of my time outside of the Land of Smiles. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Denim Posted June 11 Popular Post Share Posted June 11 He pulled up to the right of her ( facing oncoming traffic ? ) then lowered his window and tapped on her window ? Long arms , especially if her hubby was driving. Only makes sense of the Russian pulled up on the left not right. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
