Polish Tourist Arrested for Spanking Incident in Bangkok

A Polish man in Bangkok was arrested for spanking a Thai woman in a convenience store, claiming he didn’t know his actions were illegal. The incident occurred on January 12 when the man approached the woman and spanked her forcefully, leaving her embarrassed and prompting her to file a police complaint. Despite being summoned, he dismissed the accusations, citing similar actions in nightclubs without issue. Police arrested him on January 14, charging him under Section 278 for sexual assault, which carries penalties of up to 10 years in prison or a 200,000 baht fine. The victim seeks an apology and prevention of future incidents.

WTF? Was it his GF? Wife stranger? Was he laughing, or angry?

Let’s hope so 

Wait what? A simple spank on a Thai is 200,000 baht fine and jail? A french backpacker was caught recording other female backpackers in the dormitory showers up north some years ago and was given a 1400 baht fine for public indecency...

 

Seems they really have this extremist law seeking goals as soon its a foreigner VS thai while in the exact same identical cases where it is foreigner vs foreigner, thai vs thai or thai vs foreigner, it not happens.

 

Not justifying what the dude did but this is starting to become very obvious.

So let me understand, your evidence of foreigners being treated harshly under Thai Law is to give an example of a French backpacker being treated leniently ? 

 

If you have been in Thailand for any period of time, the ridiculous fines/prison terms are well known and very rarely does punishment for "minor infractions" actually approach either a prison term or the maximum fine limit.
