Swiss customer attempts to strangle waitress

No kiss, food or drink for this man

A Swiss man attempted to strangle a Kiss Food & Drink waitress for no apparent reason, then paid her 5,000 baht to prevent any legal action against him.

Elmar Hermann Kehl (left) allegedly lost his cool and ended up paying a total of 6,000 baht because of it.

Police were called to the restaurant in Soi Diana Inn on Pattaya Second Road on October 1 where they found Miss Patcharee Pareeliam, a 23-year-old Chiang Rai native, in a state of distress. She said that an intoxicated Swiss man had attacked her. The man, identified as Elmar Hermann Kehl, age 44, was still at the scene.

Patcharee told police she was serving customers in the restaurant when the man came in. She had stepped aside to let him pass but for no reason whatsoever he grabbed her neck and started to choke her. One of her colleagues came to her aid and freed her from the man’s grip. Kehl was subsequently invited to the police station.

After being questioned Kehl asked Patcharee to forgive him for his behavior and agreed to pay damages of 5,000 baht to her if she would drop the case against him. Before freeing him police fined Kehl a further 1,000 baht and warned him that any repetition of this behavior would result in legal action and the possibility of his being deported.

thats the problem with the immigration in this country, they can't control it if a moron enters the kingdom He got off lightly IMO, luckily she didn't have any brothers/b'f around to witness or else his hospital bill would have been a lot highter than 6k baht.

At least he has his shirt on.

If he'd had one it would have been expensive No food, no kiss, no drink and a 6000 baht tip

I see Felix Lynn is reading all about him right now. I think Felix is gonna make the guy famous on Bangkok Radio

I smell a rat here. There almost certainly must have been some kind of provocation that went unreported. Either she said something to him or they have a prior history.

I eat there regularly and quite often I feel like strangling some of them too.

I realise that Pattaya is a lay back location and I also realise that Thais rarely break out of a shuffle, but the service in KISS is sooooooo slooooooow, especially when you are trying to catch their eye to either get the menu or to pay the bill.

Perhaps this particular waitress thought that her service was something special and he was just ensuring that she choked on her pride.

Na, he was lashed, overstepped the mark big time and paid the price.

Chuckle for the morning. taken care of..........

[akimagure]

, ok, let's just hang them all then...

[Silent Tiger]

I would like to say no smoke without fire

BUT its a bit harsh i think if they dig deeper this guy will be a sick individual who may have a deeper sick background

[akimagure]

Good point Tiger, actually i am not saying that the thais are always 100% sane and well intentioned...but anyway, killing eachother is not a solution, and we, as farangs, we should be aware that sometimes many of us are competing against thais in acting like idiots, i've seen all kind of farangs making many crazy and bad things

[Silent Tiger]

akimagure

yes we have all got pi**ed of with the Thais from time to time but we dont try strangle them !!!

i wonder what else this guy as been up to in Thailand over the years

[Connor McCloud]

Burn the facker

[yarpy]

44? Lawks a mercy! Too many long nights on the Sang Som I think.

Don't know about the waiting staff but have wanted to kill the cook at Kiss. Two visits, two cases of amoebic dysentery. Never again.

Loads of mad bastards in this town. Likely he just kicked off. 5,000 baht is a good pay day for the waitress though.
