A foreign man paid 1,500 baht in compensation to a Thai woman in the Isaan province of Udon Thani after he crashed his motorcycle into her fence and gave her the middle finger because he was irritated by her dog’s barking.

 

A video that went viral was recorded by the Thai woman, 45 year old Mod, and shared with Thai news agencies. In the video, Franz, the foreign man, was seen sitting on his motorcycle, repeatedly honking its horn, raising his middle finger at Mod, and threatening to crash into her fence.

 

Mod’s dogs were repeatedly barking at Franz, and Mod was heard shouting, “I called the police already!” Despite this, Franz continued to honk the motorcycle’s horn until the video ended.

 

Mod later filed a complaint against Franz at Mueang Udon Thani Police Station yesterday, August 19. She stated that she was living in fear after the incident and that Franz had also damaged her fence.

 

Mueang Udon Thani officers referred the case to the Tourist Police, who visited the community where the incident occurred in the evening. The Tourist Police then called Franz, who lived near Mod’s home, to the scene to settle the matter.

 

Franz initially offered 1,000 baht in compensation to Mod, but she refused, saying the amount was too small. Mod demanded 3,000 baht from the foreigner but Franz managed to negotiate it to 1,500 baht. The police asked the two to shake hands before parting ways, and they agreed.

 

Franz admitted his wrongdoing, saying he was annoyed by the dog’s barking, which led to his actions as seen in the viral video.

 

Mod insisted that her dogs had never bitten or barked at anyone without provocation. She believed that Franz might have done something to provoke the animals.

 

The two agreed to end the dispute and promised the police they would be good neighbours going forward.

much ado about nothing

eating humble pie now, am sure he feels a right fool

They say dogs are a good judge of character.

Franz.  Another Swiss idiot attacking Thai women?

 

Deport and black ban the scumbag.

Probably feels an idiot in several ways.

News must be in hard times to use this in their program. Surely, this foreigner got upset about something more that made him do this. Perhaps she does not always keep her dogs behind a gate. 

At any rate, why does an apology demand payment as well. Why is it that Thais see every opportunity to milk a foreigner for as much money as possible? Demanding 3000 baht for flipping her off. Ridiculous the mindset given to Thais about this. If a Thai man had done it then it would never have hit the news and no compensation would have been asked. Only a simple wai and bow would be needed. 

 Idiot foreigner .

He provoked the dogs with his threatening behavior .

The dogs only protect the property , the disturbance is caused by the foreigner .

Should get a serious warning to behave better  in the future .

In a previous report it said she demanded compensation for the alleged damage to the fence not flipping her off.

I call BS on this one, they all say this about their dogs.

File a complaint .....    File a complaint  ....   File a complaint   ...

I'm expect this is part the reason why the cops do nothing .... they have 1,000,000 useless filed complaints.

 

can't thai's resolve anything without filing a complaint,   or maybe that's automatic as it means $$ to them.

Please update the story when he will need his next visa extension... 

Franz seems to be retardet

If someone provokes my dog like that in front of my gate, I open it a little......and I don't pay any compensation, everything is on video.

Does he not think that what he is doing is causing the dogs to bark ?

How do some people make it to adulthood ? Truly some single digit IQ people roaming this planet 🙈

What a guy.
