After she realized driver Satawat Kaewsuko was driving the wrong way, she pressed the bell hoping to get out of the vehicle, but he started speeding.As the car reached Lam Pla Nao bridge in Nong Chok district, the student decided to jump out of the vehicle. The driver then exited and pursued her. He reportedly grabbed her chest and threatened to “strangle her to death” before dragging her back into the driver’s seat, but the victim was rescued by a passer-by just in time.Upright citizen Panadda Wongnim told police she was driving a motorbike past Satawat’s songthaew and saw him force her into the car.

Thaiberius Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) I think most Thai women will be able to tell a similar story about songtheaw/taxi drivers. Well done to the person who intervened. Edit : There are still rumours about the serial killer Bangkok taxi driver who has many victims. How true this is, who knows.

Maroon Watcher Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 In my research "there is a case of sexual violence in Thailand REPORTED ever 15 minutes" (59% by students) This is REPORTED figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Watcher Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 This guy should be honoured, not just with a pat on the back... Local Mayor should point at him or something - Anything! Teach this in schools "SHOP the Ba*****s" Community Action: FREEPHONE (Toll Free) number on ALL transport Report ANYTHING suspicious - Total Anonymity (This idea maybe flawed, but better than other comments "3 blind mice...") well done the motorbike driver, many would have just ignored it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) "This guy should be honoured, not just with a pat on the back..." "motosay guy should get a medal" Cant you read the motosai was a girl.... if the motosai was a guy he would have certainly join the songtaew driver to rape the student...

teatree Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hats off to the woman who came to the rescue. I suspect a lot of men in the same situation would have looked the other way. She saved the girl from disaster and possibly saved her life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
