Always bad news coming out of my beloved country Thailand,i wish all tourist can stay in their country for one year without coming to Thailand,then Thais will know the value of Tourist

[Ban Sao]

indeed sad news.. but wonder what transpired leading the unfortunate event.

You suspect the woman may have been 'asking for it'? Or perhaps, was not raped at all?

My thoughts exactly.

Police find image of Koh Lipe rapist

Police have reportedly obtained the security camera footage showing the man who raped and robbed a Finnish woman on Satun's Koh Lipe on Thursday night, an informed source reported Monday.

The victim in her 30s was attacked at around 11pm on Thursday by a man who allegedly raped her and got away with her iPhone, Bt1,000 in cash and her purse. Police investigators Monday dispatched plainclothes officials to check on nearby resorts and shops for information. The victim chooses to remain anonymous.

Blurry pic from Thairath of the CCTV image of the suspect. Police are saying they think he might actually be farang and not Thai.

The pic is carried again in the Manager, but they don't specify his nationality here. He's described as 1.7m tall, aged 20-30 and having black hair. They also mention that they found a shoe at the scene that they think could be his.

Indeed, I feel very sorry too. There is no respect for "tourist" and it never will. The embassy should place a warning for visiting Thailand, so people can be more aware of what's going on here lately. It seems that every criminal think that Thailand is paradize.

What's happening here in Thailand. The criminal climate seems to get worse by the day. About 10 years ago I had a female colleague asking me if it was safe to travel on her own to Thailand. My answer back then was a straight yes, but my mind changed over the last few years. Not only women seem to be targeted any more but also men seem to have become prey here.

I feel so sorry for this young woman who believed having the most wonderful trip out here. Now she will return home as a broken person. In one action all the nice memories she might have built up here are wiped out.

OMG How Awful !!

Thinking of going home with only pleasant memories of her travels and now she will leave with deep scars on her Soul and with deep hatred.

Don't forget the baby in 9 months!

[stefb1964]

Not too surprised that the officer taking the initial statement, Pairoj, was a man.

The poor woman might indeed be victimised a second time when a male police officer comes by to take her statement. I think police here needs to look over the borders to some western countries. In Belgium for example, we would send a female officer to do this. Even the doctor examining her preferably would be a woman too. All the way long and during these dramatic moments as the exams and the taking of a statement are, we have a 'victim aid team' to support and advice them.

Offensive and thoughtless post. The woman has been assaulted; it is not funny in the least.

Unacceptable tought. This woman is a victim and you make fun of her ? Very disrespectful of you.

[cdnvic]

Don't worry, that member won't be making more posts any time soon. Some people think violence against women is a joke. They are not welcome here.

[brd]

If it had been a farang man, the article would be screaming that point. So, one can assume it was a Thai. What a sad thing to happen, either way. I hope the police leave no stone unturned, and come down like a ton of bricks on the rapist.

for sure he, the rapist, will be a non Thai indeed !

[moonbarman]

We got used to this kind of news coming from Phuket.

But Lipe??!!

There is really very little hope left if these sort of crimes spread to every corner of Thai tourist destinations.

Actually, there is none. Why do (girl) tourists keep flocking here?!

why should'nt they keep coming when you go on holiday you don't think about getting raped, if the culprits of these crimes were punished properly maybe they would think twice about committing them but as usual we will probably hear nothing more about him once caught, just a slap on the wrist and disappear back into society more than likely, i say tattoo rapist on their forehead and see how long they last in society.

Because P.T. Barnum was right. Lipe has been totally destroyed by overdevelopment just like Phuket. I remember anchoring in the S bay 10 years ago, an empty beach unbroken except for a path leading to the sea gypsy village. That path is now "walking street" and the bay has bars and shops from one end to the other. Even more shocking considering it is was a national park. Fortunately the rest of the Butangs are still relatively pristine.

yes ch but for how long, look at koh pang nan and koh tao 20yrs ago pristine now ruined seems money is more important than anything in the los,

MY WIFE IS THAI AND TRANSLATED IT FOR ME.

er... yes, I know it means rape. That was the point I was making .The word ข่มขืน appears in the article because the article says she was raped. There seems to have been some sort of communication breakdown between Muggi1968 and his wife.

How many women are the victims of rape each year, not just tourists.

If the victim had been Thai would we have heard of it?

There are countries where abortion is illegal, even for raped women. So quite valid point, but ofcourse not in this case.

[johnnycthedog]

Rapes happen in every country in the world. But a lot of female tourists are raped every year in Thailand. Is it the Thai male attitude towards westerners? If you got it I'll take it. If your a woman and I see an opportunity to have sex with you I'll take it.

It shouldn't be so - but a female tourist should never travel, walk, swim or whatever on their own, especially where it's secluded.
