webfact Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Ladyboy arrested following assault on American in Central PattayaPATTAYA: -- Following the alleged attack on an American in front of a Ladyboy Bar in Soi Buakhao on Thursday Night, Pattaya Police announced on Saturday that they had arrested a suspect in connection with the case.Police Major General Sanit, the Commissioner of Region 2 Police, led a press conference at Pattaya Police Station and confirmed the arrest of Khun Suranat aged 28 who reportedly confessed to the assault.During the press conference the suspect told Journalists that he did strike the victim, Mr. Shawn Bowsher, across the head with his high-heeled shoe, but claimed he was acting in self-defense as he feared that the aggressive nature of Mr. Bowsher was going to develop into an assault on him and Khun Suranat decided to strike first.Full story: http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/139980/ladyboy-arrested-following-assault-on-american-in-central-pattaya/-- Pattaya One 2014-08-18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chooka Posted August 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Yep that is definitely a bloke dressed in womens underwear. He does even look the slightest bit like a woman no wonder the American told this ugly bloke to bugger off. The Thai guy probably said to the American, "Do you think I am pretty" and when he was told the truth, your a dog he got upset.

Popular Post technologybytes Posted August 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2014 Obviously this ladyboy does not look at her best in these photos, but I'm willing to bet that she looks good when made up and dressed in the bar. We don't know what happened here, except that someone was attacked which may or may not have been an act of self defence. I know this: 1/ I have been to that bar myself, and many other ladyboy bars and I have never been attacked or ever seen any of the "girls" acting in any threatening or violent manner at all. 2/ I have seen many men be incredibly rude and insulting to ladyboys in Thailand, and I have witnessed farang men physically assaulting a ladyboy for no reason. Like I said, I don't know what happened here, but the poor quality of reporting probably means I never will. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96tehtarp Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 A year on the slammer minimum. Need to set standards! The defendant will either settle the matter in the police station and charges will be dropped or will have witnesses to affirm in court that the American behaved in a threatening manner. If the case does go to court the American probably won't be in Thailand and therefore won't be able to give testimony. Case dismissed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It became a matter of principle with me because he/she had not told me in advance of the charge. I managed to escape without too much injury. Today? I would have given him/her the 100 baht out of a strange mixture of pity, fear and realization that I should have asked him/her in advance if I was going be charged for the snapshot.

Like I said, I don't know what happened here, but the poor quality of reporting probably means I never will. You need to read the Pattaya news clippings a bit closer. Every week there is at least one, and sometimes several, reports of lady boy assaults and thefts. It's a big problem here. And we're pretty sure we know what happened. The guy told the lady boy to bugger off, probably in much strong terms. If you've been here long enough, you know the outcome of that. A high heel being used as a weapon. Definitely not very lady like. This is an assault. Pure and simple. Charges should be pressed. Even if the victim isn't still in the country. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

empireboy Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Assumptions Assumptions Assumptions.... The facts are: There was clearly some sort of exchange.... there was an assault and it was deliberate and now there's a consequence...

It is a sad fact that it is legal to take a picture or indeed video of someone in a public place. What is sadder is the rudeness of people that do this. Worst of all is a dill that would have further bad manners to begrudge a 100baht fee. You remind me of people that sit on beach chairs are claim " i didn't know there was a charge" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post awayego Posted August 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) It only takes a little story like this for all the insecure, humourless, homophobic, moralising, macho closet gays to crawl out from under their stones! OK, so it was an assault - not entirely infrequent in LoS - but by a LADYBOY! OMG! Now that is even more unacceptable it seems and provides just the soapbox some TV posters need to vent their intolerance and bigoted opinions. Oh well it takes all sorts I suppose and at least provides some light relief if not taken too seriously!

But in this case you aren't even close. 1. You evidently like the rhetorical feel of the word "illiterate" but you have just demonstrated that you do not know what it means- That is illiterate. 2. This has nothing to do with ill-informed speculation. It was a sarcastic joke bringing attention to the fact that the gay dude makes for a very unattractive woman. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucklehead Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm pretty sure the video of the fight was floating around on Face book . but now i can't find it. once he got knocked down a couple other ladyboys started kicking him in the head . he got pulled out of there quickly. I would have dropped that ladyboy on the ground after the first time getting hit. not take multiple hits because the person was wearing a dress . Ive seen many people that needed a good smack for being so rude . but this got over the top and fast... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
