george Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Thai woman fined in Singapore for smoking in aircraft toilet SINGAPORE: -- A Thai woman was fined 1,000 Singapore dollars (657 US dollars) for smoking in a budget airline toilet, news reports said Tuesday. Suparat Daorung, 24, was on a Tiger Airways flight from Bangkok to Singapore Saturday when a crew member smelled cigarette smoke coming from a toilet, The Straits Times said. The woman was spotted leaving and returning to her seat. Another crew member found a cigarette butt inside a dustbin. The captain alerted ground staff in Singapore, a court heard Monday. Suparet was arrested after the plane landed at Changi Airport. A partially used packet of cigarettes and a lighter were seized from the woman. Pleading for leniency, Suparat, who came to Singapore for a holiday, was quoted as saying she would remember the "expensive lesson." --DPA 2007-08-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graphics Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 What a stupid woman, probably from a Hi-so family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuky Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Maybe it was her first time to Singas or even out of the country. I have known a few girls on their first trip to Singas, accompanied by several other young ladies and one older lady. These girls would not have known the first thing about what to do and what not to do (without the older lady). But knowing what she was going to do scared the cr@p out of her so she felt she needed a smoke. How many 24yr old Thai ladies go to Singapore for a real holiday?

Tony Clifton Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 She'd pretty <deleted>' dumb if she thought smoking inside the airport is forbidden but is allowed 32 000 feet up in the air. I'm on 2 packs a day but the brain knows nothing can't be done, even on a short flight to Singapore and I usually have no cravings. I have to admit though that I once chewed the tobacco from a whole cigarette on a long BKK-Chicago flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be very surprised at how many 24 or in that age bracket do go to Singapore for a holiday and not work the likes of Geylang, Orchard Towers or the Golden Mile Centre. Yes there are many in the group you talk about in the first paragraph. In that bracket yes but mostly freelancers and not and older lady - the onlly older lady I have known take them down was actually only 22 and many of the BM will have seen her picture on Walking Street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roietjimmy Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 And now for the good news, she didn't flush the butt down the toilet causing the plane to lose pressurization and crash. Being a law abiding Thai, she threw it in the dust bin (something impossible to find on any Bangkok street) knowing full the punishment for littering.

junkofdavid2 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) What a stupid woman, probably from a Hi-so family. Here we go again... blame it on the hi-so/elite/thai-chinese/blablabla. The "decent" girls such as bargirl-types and low-so girls would never do something like that, now would they? Yup, the Hi-so are so "stupid", and they even love using budget airlines right?

I saw another whole group of them yesterday - a mixed male and female party shopping in Bugis. Every single one wearing their yellow shirts proudly with wristbands showing. I also know a few Thai colleague of that age, all female, travelling down for the weekend next week too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
