Man offers Russian ride to Phuket hotel, then assaults her

[CapeThai]

Once again..... sugar coating the fellow Thai's intentions. Took her to his room so she could rest before taking her to her hotel.... WOW what a good deed ? But then ( I quote ) " When I saw how beautiful she was I could not resist...." What a load of BS...

And yes I agree she should maybe have not accepted a ride from a stranger....... but then once again she's in a "LOS" supposed to be the friendliest nation on earth....... and not supposed to go around raping Tourist specially in Hot Spots like Pattaya, Phuket and Koh's like Tao.

They mentioned she was partying with friends and her boyfriend ? I hope he takes this coward into a quiet Soi and brake all his f...... bones.

We don't living in the cage man era anymore....

[mok199]

the time line is seriously lacking information...they drove off together and he took her to his rented room where he ties her up....between the time she realizes she is not going to her room and the time he is tieing her up,,,<deleted>...

This happends every day day in every country, so what is the big news. Except time for thai bashing.

If we were in another country and it happened then we would talk abut it there. But we are in thailand and it happened and we are talking about it on a forum for TALKING. If your a little slow maybe we can draw pictures for you. Not the sharpest tool in the shed are you?

He's right, though. I wonder what might have happened to her in her native Russia. Walking to your hotel alone, drunk, at 0200 AM, is not the smartest thing that a girl can do, let's agree about that. Certainly no excuse, this, but it wouldn't hurt to apply just a little common sense once in a while.

Part of the responsibility for this being able to happen lies with the people behind the still non-functioning transportation system on Phuket.

If they had a proper (not rip-off) transport system all over the island, there would be no reason for a single Russian (or any other nationality including Thai)woman, to have to accept a ride from potential rapists.

This has happened far too many times.

Fix the Taxi / TukTuk & Bus system.

Maybe, a reason BUT NOT an excuse for what happened! Stop looking to shift some blame elsewhere.

No it doesn't. For example, the incidence of foreign tourists being raped in London, a city of 13 million residents with 15 million tourists visiting each year, is very rare.

Whereas any Western woman who drinks too much on holiday in Thailand is liable to be violently raped - murdered if they resist - by Thai men who can't 'resist their beauty'. And these rapists know that even if the victim has the courage to report the crime if they plead guilty the sentence will be laughably light.

Western embassies have a duty to warn women about the very real dangers in visiting Thailand, which far from being the Land of Smiles is now a lawless, corrupt state with racist mysoginistic attitudes towards Western women and is undeserving of their tourism.

Your post is just inflammatory nonsense.

[umbanda]

I cannot believe someone would think or do something like that...this guy is an Animal.....

I can't believe that you are unaware of how prevalent violent rape is in Thailand.

Most teen pregnancy in Thailand happens by rape....It is a fact.....

Cannot leave a Thai male with a female alone...even a relative. ....With a farang female?...Cannot resist....Good for the Resume.

The is no excuse for this kind of action, there are no extenuating circumstances with the victim being totally innocent.

Yes in a perfect world women should be able to do what they want without having to worry about predators like this, but this is not a perfect world so when will people accept that women CONNOT walk home alone and drunk???

Why did her boyfriend and friends allow her to walk home alone???

No one asks for this to happen to them but some simple precautions should be taken, take five minutes away from the bar to escort them home, is it too much to ask???

Until people start to think, and start to act responsibly low life like this will continue to surface and wreak havoc on innocent lives...

When people get drunk, their critical thinking abilities wane. She was drunk. He probably had that famous Thai smile which appears so warm and friendly. People might also begin to consider that alcohol consumption is not a cool way to have fun. It should be understand that so much violence, rape, assault and crime happens due to alcohol inebriation. It's time for the world to find a more safe and healthy recreational way to release stress and have fun in social settings.

Thai smile. <deleted>..... did you read the article.He tied her up and raped her!!! And you are trying to blame the fact that she had a drink. Please, get real.

but thais DONT do this sort of thing kao tao ????? statement for officialdom

[diehard60]

Yea people really love the tourists in phuket and pataya dont love. When is the PM going to clean up those areas????

[tomyumchai]

well at least he didnt put her on a bus with 5 of his mates and an iron bar.........

[sz1a]

Oh this is terrible. Only happens in Thailand. Oh the Thais. Oh TIT. BIB. I am a delusional farang who hates this place and blames my failures on the stupid thai. I was right all along. But I won't leave.

[slipperylobster]

Raping tourists is part of the scene here. You just get no protection whatsoever, and the police are helpless to protect you. She made some bad judgements, but still getting on that motorbike does not warrant a rape. Lucky she was not smashed to bits, like the two at Koh Tao, that were raped (perhaps several times) then bashed to death.

She should be keeping up with the news. The next news on this crime will be something about that it was reported wrong, a farang did it.

Very true, my wife is Thai and she would not walk along at night, nor would I let her, Thai women are afraid of Thai men especially in a group. They seem to have little respect for women when drunk and sadly the respect diminishes even further when the female is a farang. Thai family retribution can be a deterrent but in the heat of the moment Thai's seem to think less about consequences than most.

[pchansmorn]

Nothing will change until the crime is punished by Castration.

And WHERE was her "valliant" boy-friend during all this ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Probably raping a Thai girl of 15 or so, so she was going to get even.

[louse1953]

The punishment must fit the crime, 5 years jail ,

He'd love you as a judge,try 15 years.Violent,no condom and twice.

[balo]

I dont think the sentence for this crime will be so much , since he is a thai and he admitted he raped a farang .

I would guess he could bribe himself out of it for 10000 baht .

[SupermarineS6B]

I wonder if she was wearing a Bikini ? If so all's ok, it's not the mans fault....... After all, the boss says that...... At the current level of loss of face, if that had been a falang i think the powers to be would of had it all over the media..... Unfortunately it's a Thai..........AGAIN !!

[louse1953]

I cannot believe someone would think or do something like that...this guy is an Animal.....

no, he is not an animal. he is thai. weak. his mentality is thai. weak.

at least he was nice enough to not push her off his balcony.

EVERYONE should think twice before letting a female... in thailand... walk around alone. reminds me of ... say... a prostitute at 2 am.

just because she wasnt asking for "it" doesnt mean someone wasnt looking for "it".

its like me walking around with tons of money hanging out of my pocket, gold chains all up in my junk, studded diamond rings on each finger. I am not asking to get mugged or robbed. but it sure would be stupid of me to walk around alone like this.

i have always enjoyed people drinking because they lower their values/ standards. and then are very easy to take advantage of. i support people spending all their money on alcohol and not saving anything.

if i was a russian i would beat this guy senseless to make an example of him. thats just me though.

Why do you need to be Russian?

Why do you need to be Russian?

Because it appears that Russians are becoming favourites of Thai government? Friendly visa requirements compared to other farangs? Therefore lighter sentence should you be caught?

Just surmising.

[louse1953]

A lot of Thai women don't even report a rape,and if the girl is young,the next thing that happens is she is married to the rapist.They have a kid,and he disappears.She has no face around the village and is laughed at at school.Next thing she is saying "hullo hansum man"in some bar.Some girls have a hard start to life as teenagers.

[Malthus101]

Well "duuuhhh".... I thought Russians were all street smart?

[Ve37]

I cannot believe someone would think or do something like that...this guy is an Animal.....

He merely...."“Once we were in the room, she was very pretty and I could not control my emotions.”

In the West, where was brought up,....rape is a crime of power,...an unconsenting act punishable by many years in jail.

The Russian claims she was drunk,...and appears to have neither consented or denied consent to sex,...which is not saying he did not think he was doing something improper.

Nevertheless,...drunk Russian girls wondering the streets of a foreign Country at 2 AM should have rights.

[ggt]

“She decided to walk alone back to her hotel [the Duangjit Resort.

As I have stated before...and been chided for my efforts...a person is not safe walking around alone after 12am in Thailand...especially a drunk female...you are taking a chance every time you do this...the odds are in favor of getting mugged or worse if insist in this behavior...

Ok...all you defenders of Thainess...take your best shot...

[Tboy928]

so,does anyone know, is the guy in jail now ?, didhe pay himself out ? is it some way to follow up on that ,, interesting to see whats happening now the next month on this story

[Thongkorn]

Sad... where was the Russians boyfriend when she need him most??

Probably in Ukraine.
