Two Cambodian nationals have filed a police complaint against Thai social media influencers Tae Archeewa and Kung Sor Por, accusing them of assault at a Samut Prakan shopping mall near Bangkok. The incident, stemming from unfounded accusations of gang involvement, reportedly occurred on Sunday, May 11.

 

The confrontation unfolded on the fifth floor of the mall around 4pm when Chon Choy, one of the victims, was with his brother and friends. A group of men approached, first targeting Chon's younger brother by grabbing him and slapping him. They then attacked Chon himself, punching him multiple times. The aggressors accused the Cambodians of being part of the BK gang, a notorious group in Cambodia, despite their denials.

 

Chon recounted being dragged out of the CCTV camera's view and being questioned about reporting the assault. The group left after Chon asserted they would indeed go to the police. The victims, who claim no prior conflicts, later identified two of their attackers as the influencers Tae and Kung.

 

Tae Archeewa has since admitted to the attack during an interview with Amarin TV, citing a call from a female friend claiming the Cambodians had mocked her at the mall. Acting on impulse, Tae says he rushed to confront the men, siding with his Thai compatriot. Acknowledging his rash behaviour, Tae stated he was ready to cooperate with the police investigation.

 

Furthermore, Tae expressed intentions to pursue legal action against foreign nationals, accusing them of illegally operating food stalls at the mall.

 

The case highlights tensions between locals and foreign nationals in Thailand, underscoring the complexities of cultural interactions and the influence of social media figures in society. The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to understand the full context of the incident.

Get those Cambodians out of the country fast for speaking out against Thais and filing the police report. How do the Thai men know these Cambodians are running the shop, and illegally at that.

Well done to the Cambodians for sticking up for themselves. I wish them luck with their legal case.
