A Thai man sexually assaulted a female dancer and pulled her off the stage during a performance in the Isaan province of Nong Khai, resulting in her sustaining an injury.

 

The Mor Lam performance band, Kwanjai Phet Udon, shared a video of the incident on its official Facebook page to seek justice for the dancer and raise awareness among audiences about the importance of respecting performers and preventing similar incidents. The post stated…

 

“Respecting artists and team members is the simplest thing to do. Please have sympathy for us and others in this industry. Jane (the victim) is now safe. She initially experienced pain in her shoulder, head, and ankle. We provided her with first aid before sending her to a hospital. Her condition has improved significantly. Thank you for everyone’s encouragement.”

 

In the video, Jane, dressed in a vivid blue dancer’s costume, can be seen being pulled by a member of the audience. Despite her attempts to free herself, she failed and suddenly fell off the stage, leaving the other performers in shock.

 

At one point in the footage, the audience, believed to be a man, appeared to attempt to touch her private parts, but Jane managed to protect herself.

 

 

No legal action

 

The leader of the band, 24 year old Arunroj “Beer” Thaviwit, spoke to ThaiRath about the incident yesterday, December 2. Beer revealed that the incident occurred at around 11pm on December 30 at a private event in Nong Khai.

 

According to Beer, the suspect requested to hold Jane’s hand and offered her tips. Jane sat down to accept the money and hold his hand, but he unexpectedly pulled her off the stage. Beer disclosed that the event organiser contacted him and offered Jane 5,000 baht in compensation.

 

Another band leader, 19 year old Wittaya Chuaykamchoo, told the media that the band usually employed security guards to monitor the front of the stage. However, the guards were occupied with another performer’s team behind the stage when the incident occurred.

 

Wittaya emphasised that the incident was not related to the dancers’ revealing costumes, noting that it is common for Mor Lam dancers to wear such attire.

 

Wittaya expressed hope that other event organisers would take this incident as a warning and implement measures to protect performers, preventing similar occurrences in the future.

 

Many Thai netizens urged the band to pursue legal action against the audience member responsible. They argued that 5,000 baht in compensation was inadequate given the injuries and health risks Jane endured.

Well it is obvious that he thought that he was in a go go bar in Nana Plaza where  you can just pick a girl off the stage and she's yours for the night.

All day drinking and proximity to scantily clad young women dancing.

What could possibly go wrong in the twilight zone 🙄

Some men are closer to animals or wild beasts, and they just don't have a sense of respect for women. If it's pay for play then you're entitled to a little touchy feeley, but when it comes to absolute strangers, nothing but respect should be shown.

Went to our tiny little village 'do' last week......primary school reunion with one of these crazy bus shows.

 

There were three fights, one person got stabbed. There must have only been about 200 people there.

Shocking but rare, having said that the behaviour of concerts crowds has generally declined over the past decade or so. Morlam concert audiences are usually better behaved. This being a private event is all the more surprising. In Dec saw Ung Ing morlam band very relaxed and enjoyable, next night Lamyai concert which was horrible, we even left before the end. Pushing, bad attitudes, standing in front of people phones in your face, will see what it's like at another of hers on the 29th. Mobiles have made concert going less enjoyable, in the old days hardly any even had cameras.
