A "wai" was offered to stop the Russian man from attacking his victim. Picture courtesy: Thai Rath

 

The younger brother of actress Chalida Vijitvongthong has refused to settle with a Russian man who allegedly assaulted him after he intervened to help a restaurant employee. The incident took place in the early hours of last Wednesday (September 25) at a restaurant on Ratchadapisek Soi 3, Bangkok.

 

Rachai Vijitvongthong, 29, was struck by a series of kicks and punches from an unnamed deaf Russian man at around 2 a.m., after attempting to stop the man from attacking the restaurant employee. Rachai later required three days of medical treatment, according to a certificate he submitted to the Huai Khwang police station.

 

Pol. Col. Prasopchok Aimpinij, head of the Huai Khwang station, stated that due to the assailant's deafness, a Russian sign language interpreter is necessary for the investigation. The interpreter is expected tomorrow, after which charges will be formally filed, reported Thai Rath.

 

Although the interpreter relayed the Russian man's regret, Mr. Rachai was unmoved by apologies or offers of negotiation. He insisted on a formal confession from the attacker, stating that he would proceed with a lawsuit within 48 hours if no confession was made.

Pol. Col. Prasopchok further explained the legal process: "If the case goes to court and the individual is sentenced to prison, he will serve his sentence in Thailand before any consideration of deportation by the Immigration Bureau."

 

This case highlights the commitment to following due legal processes, ensuring justice is served without yielding to informal settlements, even in the face of apologies. It reflects growing public frustration with violence and a demand for accountability.

Yes, the integrity of the Thai justice system is something that can surely be relied on.

Definitely doesn't understand in Thailand, you admit your guilt for a reduced sentence, say your sorry and move on.

 

It takes time for these Russians to learn how things are done in Thailand.  Most of us took years to be proficient in understanding Thai customs, processes, and acclimate.

 

Thailand probably sees it as a temporary inconvenience to get as much money out of the Foreigners before they change the rules.

[john donson]

500 baht fine and a wai ? we know how it goes here... maybe some cash for the victim...

 

why is this not automatically assault and battery by default?  TIT

So you are confirming the point being made?

[Kenny202]

Shouldn't be too quick to condemn as everyone did with the Swiss guy kicking the "doctor" on the steps at Phuket. Admittedly it didn't look too good for the guy at the time but the court threw the case out the other day. Turns out her injuries weren't actually seen or examined by anyone and her PTSD claims were rejected as fiction. Not sure what the guy did or how bad it was but apparently nothing like she claimed and certainly not enough to have someones life and reputation destroyed and possible deportation and loss of ones life style / property. The court said the video proved nothing and there were no signs of physical aggression. If you have ever had a car accident where the other party was clearly in the wrong for eg: driving on the wrong side of the road, 15yo, unlicensed of course,with an unregistered vehicle, and admitted to having his phone in his hand whilst the accident occurred.....then have to endure the whole family with theirs grubby paws out for a payout.....you would realize often we are sitting ducks here. An easy mark.

Earlier news said that the Russian accosted a female Thai staff, The Thai guys helped the female and got beaten up by the Russian.

Your comment is baseless.

[Polaky]

He is a Russian so gets convicted here by the majority without a trial, we should hold a kangaroo court and decide, , if he is guilty then he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and the victim should receive compensation  along with the restaurant worker as well, and then after all monies have been paid deported.

Posters here are basically racist and myopic in their world view….

[outsidetrader]

Hard to say boo to a Thai national as it stands right now.. Scarey thought and fpr sure an uncomfirtable feeling ..

Never see Foreighners being able to sue Thais ...just a thought like ....

[Will B Good]

 

 

 

Well done for resisting any offers......not many would.

 

This type of offer giving those with money an easy way out should be made illegal.

Yep ... Filipino and Indonesian is sometimes a challenge because they are both Austronesian, but they can still often be distinguished (without hearing their accent). Cambodians, Thais, and Burmese all come from very different ancestral lines that are more distinct than those of western European nations. Then again, after being in SE Asia for 25 years, you pick these things up. At least throw in a Vietnamese and a Lao to make it more challenging!

We 'play' that game sat in the BKK bars.......not often the wife and I disagree....although we could both be wrong of course.

 

 

 

[Umlungu]

Who cares? Is this even news? A brother of some actress probably unknown to most readers here, is pursuing legal action and refusing an out of court settlement. Happens hundreds of times each month. Who's interested?

Not too sure many Thais refuse the money and go to court.....that's the angle I guess.

How do you use sign language to say "BEND OVER"?

[Taboo2]

The only thing Russians understand is another violent person who is not afraid of them.  That is all.

Russians are vodka drinking bullies! Send them back to Putin!

I watched Russians invade Thailand in the last few years and now it makes me sick to see what they have done to it.

One thing I learned from this report is that sign language is not universal.
