New rape claim on Thai island

January 19, 2006

A Swedish woman told the police she had been raped early yesterday by two Thai men on the same island where a British woman was attacked and killed on New Year's Day. The 44-year-old Swede is on holiday on Koh Samui with her husband and children.

Lt Thiraphon Somsuwanchai said the woman had told the police she had left a karaoke bar alone to go to the beach when two Thai men had put a knife to her and taken turns raping her. Thiraphon added that a medical inspection had shown signs that she had been raped. The police were looking for the suspects.

This will certainly boost Thailands "Rape Hub" status.......will this be one hub they actually do well in?

I hope not!!! Is there a way to look at the statistics in a more balanced way. I'm not trying to denigrate what happened, but statisticaly is Samui any worse than anywhere else?

I hope this doesn't sound uncaring, I think it could help balance the views.

If true, this is the very last thing Samui & Thailand needs; you might question if the local publicity (about Katherine Horton) or even "word-of-mouth" on the island/villages didn't adapt to the brains of these rapists/animals/cowards. Sorry for the last words but I suppose they don't even have a brain at all.

Horrible

What the negative publicity for Thailand is concerned.....it certainly looks like "Murphy's Law" * is all over the country....bad Karma, very bad indeed

Nobody seems to have picked up much on the rape of a British woman by a motorcycle taxi driver in Pattaya a couple of days ago.

I will not comment further.
