May 13, 200521 yr Dutch man accused of sexual assault on Pattaya Beach. The daily logs clerk at Pattaya Police Station received an interesting case of alleged sexual assault on Wednesday night. The victim was Khun Sawalat aged 43 and the alleged attacker was Mr. Remt Jan Hoekstra aged 61 from Holland. Khun Sawalat told Police that she was sitting on the beach with a group of friends in front of the Central Pattaya junction when Mr. Hoekstra approached her and using some rather obscene language made it clear that he wanted to engage in sexual activities with her. She refused which apparently led to the Dutch man lunging towards her and grabbing her breasts. At the Police station Mr. Hoekstra, who was extremely intoxicated, could not communicate with the officer to give his side of the story. They decided to incarcerate him for a time to give him a chance to sober-up and later decided to fine him 500 Baht before sending him on his way with a warning not to touch anyone else without permission in the future. -Pattaya City News Thursday 12th May 2005
May 13, 200521 yr I'm always amazed that drunken tourists always consider every woman they see as being in the game. I really think that the Thai police are entirely too easy on those drunken scum bags. Would they do that in their own country? NOT likely is it?
May 13, 200521 yr I'm always amazed that drunken tourists always consider every woman they see as being in the game. Are you ? Why? The western media hammers home time-after-time that - Thailand=naughty ladies. We know that this is untrue, but why should 'drunken tourists' make the effort to see it with a more nuanced perspective? The Thai Government makes no substantive attempt to reverse foreign perceptions of Pattaya as a sex tourist destination, full of available crumpet.

I didn't read that in the post. Could it be possible he was a drunken expat.
May 13, 200521 yr I'm wondering if the 500 baht fine ended up in a policeman's pocket and then found it's way to a massage parlour.
May 17, 200521 yr http://www.pattayacitynews.net/news_12_05_48_2.htm He is guilty as charged, hooker or not, if she is not interested, he should keep his hands to himself.
May 18, 200521 yr I wonder what the normal punishment for this type of assualt would be back in his home country. Another terrible example for the falang reputation Expat or Tourist. 500 Thb. Then you have the case on the telly yesterday of another European involved in selling porno tapes in Jomtien.
