Soused Saudi skips out on bar tab

Lady bar owner wrestles him for the bill

PATTAYA: -- Police received a report in the wee hours of the morning of November 1 that a foreigner was assaulting a Thai woman on the beach in front of the Royal Garden Hotel in South Pattaya. When officers arrived at the scene they found a very inebriated Saudi man attempting to strangle a female bar owner.

Aljrais Ahamad Fahadm found out the hard way that not even trying to strangle the barkeep could keep him from paying his tab.

Police finally broke up the scuffle and questioned both parties about the problem. Amari Bar owner Supaporn Chaisaensuad, 34, told officers the Saudi, later identified as 32-year-old Aljrais Ahamad Fahadm, had been drinking at her bar from the time it opened until closing time and had run up a tab of 1,540 baht. When closing time came round she asked him to pay the bill. By this time he was very drunk. He adamantly refused to pay and walked out. Undeterred, Supaporn, accompanied by one of her employees, followed the man down the street and onto the beach, still insisting he pay up on the 10 bar chits. She said Aljrais lost his temper and tried to throttle her rather than cough up the money.

Too drunk to argue, Aljrais had little to say in his own defense. Supaporn told officers she would let the matter go if the foreigner would pay his bill plus 1,000 baht to compensate her for bodily harm. Alhrais agreed to this and the police gave him a strict warning before letting him go.
