On 9th September 2009 Banglamung police were informed that a former employee of the Fuji restaurant chain had tied his girlfriend with a chain, beat her up and locked her in a room in a Pattaya house with no food or water for two days. The 34 year old victim managed to escape with help from neighbours.

At 7.00 pm Banglamung Deputy Investigator Colonel Supachat Piammanus, Banglamung led a team to room no. 10 of a house in Soi Bungalow 999 Moo. 6 Nongprue, Banglamung. On arrival they found villagers assisting Ms. Kankanit Kartippatee, whose left wrist was tied by a 1 meter long steel chain which had been tethered to a door. Her wrist and body were covered by bruises and she showed symptoms of exhaustion from not eating for 48 hours. Neighbours had already cut the lock on the chain and given her basic first aid.

Ms. Kankanit of 408/62, Moo. 9 Nongprue, Banglamung, said she worked in a Korean Karaoke bar in South Pattaya. One week before she told her boyfriend, Jatupol Tongjatu, [26] from Buriram Province, a former employee of Fuji Restaurant (Japanese cuisine), that she wanted to finish with him. She said Jatupol was lazy, didn’t work and was always taking money from her. Besides that, he was gambling all the time and beat her up if she didn’t supply him with funds.

Ms. Kankanit said she decided to run away and rent the room she was now staying in alone. On the morning of September 7th , Jatupol called her and said he wanted to meet her in her room to sort out their differences.

Ms. Kankanit continued saying that she didn’t want any more problems with him, but when he arrived they ended up fighting. He pushed her to the floor and tied her wrists behind her back. He then tied her ankles and gagged her mouth with a cloth and dragged her along the floor. He then proceeded to beat her up, pulled out a razor, threatening to slash her face, and poured cold water on her body. He later went out and returned with a steel chain and tied her to a steel door bar.

She said she went without food and water for 48 hours.

Before leaving her for the last time, he took 3000 baht and her mobile phone and threatened that if she ever tried to escape, he would follow her and kill her. Fortunately, Ms. Kankanit managed to untie her wrists and her mouth and shouted for help from the neighbours.

Police Lieutenant Colonel Supachat told reporters that Ms. Kankanit was sent to the hospital for treatment before being questioned by investigators. A warrant would be issued to arrest Jatupol as possible.

So what can we say??? This is not good for the Thai guys. There are many many good ones out there, but we always here about the bad ones. Live up in Isaan and hear all the time that the girls here want to have falang, thai men bad men... I try to tell them, not to judge all thai men, because of a very few. And explain we have bad man among falang too and among all kind of people on this earth.

I do this because it is not good for us falang to be too popular, if you know what I mean. It can create extra hate from the Thai men!!

So I always say this to the Thai girls.

And now this shit on the news. I dont know how long I wish to defend the The men actually. I really hate these stupid Thai guys that do this kind of stunt to their ladies!!

I feel sorry for this woman and hope she gets over her ordeal quickly.

But something that stuck out to me about this piece was that Pattaya Daily News made a point of TWICE mentioning that the perp was a former employee of Fuji restaurant. What possible difference does it make where this a$$hole used to work? It seems that someone of influence at PDN has a grudge against the Fuji chain and is using the situation to cast some dispersions on the place. I wonder if Fuji execs are talking to their lawyers about the situation? If not, they should be. These Mickey Mouse pseudo-journalistic rags like PDN and Pattaya One News would be shut down very quickly in more civilized countries, and one can only hope that they'll get themselves in some deep hot water before too long.

Mentioning the employer in the newspaper is maybe a bit too much and not relevant, but maybe PDN has some kind of reason for it.

What puzzles me, is that you refer to Pattaya One News in this case, and they don't mention an employer at all, nor that the guy was unemployed.

I only mention Pattaya One News because I lump these 2 e-rags together as total trash that wouldn't last a week in a developed country. I made no direct reference to PON in connection to this particular story - only pointing out they are both distasteful garbage that shouldn't exist.

Overly negative stereotypical posts have been removed.

A bit OTT don't you think?

Is your assertion based on any evidence or experience you have had personally?

Reporting many of the stories that these media companies broadcast or publish must be very difficult.

Not only because they are grave danger of upsetting the wrong person(s) but, just getting and confirming the facts in the first place.

If they shouldn't exist, what is your suggestion for an alternative?

Police issue arrest warrant for suspect wanted in connection with case of woman held against her will.

Pattaya, September 11 [PATTAYA ONE NEWS] : We have some further information for you now on the case we featured on Thursday regarding the woman who was allegedly chained up and held against her will for 2 days inside her house. During this time she was not able to eat or drink anything. Police Lieutenant Colonel Supashat, the Deputy Chief of Banglamung Police Station is overseeing the case and informed us that he had already spoken with the suspected attacker and former boyfriend of the victim on the telephone. He informed Khun Jatupon aged 26 that he must come to the Police Station to answer the allegations made against him. He did not do as requested, therefore Police will now arrange for an arrest warrant to be issued in his name. During the telephone conversation, the suspect revealed that 2 weeks before the alleged incident, Khun Jatupon and his former girlfriend Khun Kankanit had a violent argument where Khun Jatupon claims he was stabbed in the arm. He also claims his motorbike was damaged by Khun Kankanit. Despite these problems, he was adamant that he would restart his relationship with her earlier this week. However this encounter escalated into a physical confrontation culminating in the alleged use of chains and locks to hold the woman against her will. Police are hopeful they can locate and arrest Khun Jatupon in due course.

Sounds like they deserve each other.

It's a thin line between love and hate...

Found this quote: “I understand with love comes pain, but why did I have to love so much?”

TheWalkingMan

Policeman "Hello Jatupon would you like to come to the police station so we can arrest you?"

Jatupon "No."

Policeman "Ok thankyou, goodbye."

The mind boggles.......

John.....

On 9th September 2009 Banglamung police were informed that a former employee of the Fuji restaurant chain had tied his girlfriend with a chain, beat her up and locked her in a room in a Pattaya house with no food or water for two days.

I find most opposite-sex relationships are some variation of the above...if maybe a bit less dramatic.

If I was counseling this woman, I would suggest to her that she investigate the less dysfunctional possibilities in a same-sex relationship.

I don't think it's particularly over-the-top.

Have you looked at the stories featured on the PON website? These creeps often gain access to victims homes (by their contacts with the police) and take pictures of the poor deceased husband (for example) hanging from the rafters. Here's a family that's experienced a tragedy, and instead of being given the ability to PRIVATELY deal with a horrible situation, Howard Miller and his crew are running around taking photos. What good can this possibly do except satisfy his (and some sick readers) perversities? This absolute invasion of privacy is common in that awful e-rag, and it should be taken offline.

My suggestion is to show some decency and leave these poor grieving families a moment of privacy to deal with their tragic situation. There's nothing wrong with having as much access to news and information as we can, however Pattaya One News does anything BUT offer a legitimate source of news. It focuses on petty privacy-invading matters that should only be talked about within the family of the victims - not the whole world.

Whether reporting on some of these stories is difficult or not, isn't the point. The point is that in the majority of the "stories" where PON "reports", they shouldn't have been sticking their nosy faces into the situation anyway.

I couldn't care less if Howard Miller wants to put on a costume and play policeman all day, but I could never come close to respecting him as long as Pattaya One News remains the distasteful and awful garbage it is.

I have to agree with this. The pics of the deceased child at the water park were particularly offensive. But thats another thread..... As for this one, this guy is a seriously disturbed individual and needs to pay for his behaviour. However, it seems to me that Pattaya does attract self indulgent people, of all races, who lack any empathy .
