Drunk farang assaults flight attendant on Bangkok Airways, staff claims

[Halion]

Absurd reporting, should there be substance to this article could someone who can synapse please explain the logic behind the blanked out faces.

Perhaps the editors should look for other employment as they are bloody useless at the job they have.More substance reading a comic.

[MexicanFarang]

This guy doesn't look very old.

And that haircut. Is he growing out a Mohawk?

Another spoiled, disaffected son of rich Russian mafia, perhaps?

"only described as “farang,”"

I feel a bit sorry for the Thai 'master-race'. They can be an endearing bunch but they are so terribly ignorant about the world outside of their very small bubble - and globalisation is going to hit them very hard indeed.

"A foreign national is being held for attempted rape on board a Bangkok airways flight." There, no xenophobic epithets required, nice and easy.

That s*** did not come from the 3rd world, undeveloped or Asian country.

A super developed AH.

Really? You see this ONLY in Thailand?

Sir, You gotta read more!

Why is it that an alleged air hostess rapist gets censored but a guy who reported a kidnapping has the ID page of his passport shown in the news?

From my observation of the seated picture, I'd say the subject is left-handed, has had recent and lengthy experience with heavy weapons, and is probably undergoing some mental trauma. His left thumb is unusually straight and left fist somewhat clenched, whilst the right hand seems to be calming it. People with unusually straight fingers may have been carrying small arms for a while. Those with oddly straight thumbs may have become accustomed to carrying heavier weapons, like RPGs. The haircut, if military, suggests a junior rank.

Clearly the guy in the OP isn't the only one, who needs to take his medication!!

Noted. I have the brandy glasses ready.

I bet he is British...

But the way I translate it, it is only Farang and not French. I guess google error.

Well we know you post spurious presumptive tosh. Is that normal of your nation?

Parochialism is hardly unique to Thailand, but it is very striking there, and we are commenting on a Thai news article.

[dabhand]

There seems to be something missing from this story.

Am still waiting for a photo of the stewardess without her shirt. Even a link would be useful.

That was my only purpose in trawling through seven pages of this topic.

[wilgoster]

... they could not stop his rape fugue.

Is the composer saying that he played on up to the last note?

[A1Str8]

Just knock him out.

Psychosis happens! Anyone can get caught by it.

A Thai man some time ago who went beating up the Supreme God at Erawan shrine was instantly killed by fellow Thais.

A teacher from Africa told me recently about a woman who went stomping in the dormitories of male students.

Villagers ran by, and stoned her dead. I was shocked!

Lucky him he was on a flight, so he survived.

This has got to be one of the craziest behavioral explanations ever. Psychosis Happens? Really? I'm so mad at this comment I'm going to go out and kill someone. Gimme a break.....

Your avatar scares me. Anyhooz, psychosis can happen suddenly. It can be a temporary episode, usually after a stressful epsiode such as bereavement, marriage break up, extreme financial worries etc. It can happen at anytime to anyo... bottom, fish, bananas, wibble,ecky,ecky, my lamp is a dinosaur on the friend's sushi carpet of justice. Stop looking at my carpet you heavy hamster of computer science and sneeze on my artic roll. Wibble my nose etc

[Jungle Jim]

I think he means foreigners causing trouble here. The answer far too often. And i agree i can fully understand why the Thais have come to dislike us. Number one, two and three reasons. Drunk, obnoxious and act like they can care less about the Thais and their customs. Maybe YOU forgot WE are guests here.

And foreigners wonder why some Thai dont like em... Seen this happen all to often..

Really? How many times have you seen this happen?

[sailblue]

I have been flying with them a lot in the last couple of months, there are some good looking ones there.

Like the PM said, there fault if they are attractive.

Yeh the Thais do not like it when we are more drunk than they are

[zeroselect]

Pre-gaming on the plane isn't the best idea.

why are the zipties not tightened down?

[Jackson86]

shameful. jailing him is waste of thai money. should just ban him from entering thailand.

[DP25]

No charges filed for the attempted rape of a flight attendant in the middle of a flight? Any type of assault on an airplane these days is SERIOUS business, much less an attempted rape of a stewardess. They would see guaranteed jail time in any country in the world.

That makes me doubt this whole story. Something happened but it's hard to believe there was an attempted rape and they just let him go.

[ggt]

Dang...talk about impatient to get some Thai action...this guy takes the cake...

Let me be the first to apologize to the flight crew for this idiots behavior...

[DP25]

Let us see if the authorities can get it right this time. In the US, ripping off the clothes of a woman is attempted rape. The sentence is usually about a decade.

In any country you would get a decade for attempting to rape a stewardess in the middle of a flight. Post 9-11 the authorities don't fool around with assaults on airplanes.

Lets see if someone can assure he is prosecuted and spends time in prison. If not, we all know why.

If he's not prosecuted I know the reason why. The guy who is spreading this story is full of it.

[ableguy]

if all reporting correct sounds like a right loser what a tosser

Boy even a drunk in his giddy mind would not react like that .... choice of words a bit to dramatijjc... ripped that is sudden tearing off right. I can imagine him trying to go for her breasts or such and she falls down and in the struggle she tries to get away while he is clutching her jacket and it shreds off or something like that....

Well, on the otherhand it sounds like he was on drugs..... or have they started issuing ice on board these routes to get passengers? Nah just kidding...

whatever it is its wrong and indecent. He should be locked up in a womens prison....that would straighten him up.

More like harden him up.

[bangrak]

They blocked out the faces of all of these people, but in the photos and video of Nana Plaza in the other thread, a lot of people, innocent of any crime, are now embarrassed in front of the world.

As if they ever cared! Pfff... Farang bah, Farang nee anyway.

[attento]

Oh dear my friend. Enjoy your stay in Thai prison. You have earned it.

I guess you did not read everything:

The man was escorted out by airport security. No charges were reportedly filed, but he was blacklisted from the airline.

yes, one wonders why Thai Immigration didn't put him on the next flight back to his departure point. Unless this is the type of visitor that is being welcomed these days.

[bangrak]

When that 'passenger' was drunk when boarding, they shouldn't have let him on the plane in the first place, period. But I have witnessed it, several times,: inebriated persons, in a really bad shape, being let on the plane, and making a, big, nuisance of themselves during the flight, and creating problems to other passengers, and the crew! Can you believe it, earlier this year, there were two such morons on 'my' flight, really as drunk as ..., and the noise, and the smell(s), but... they were allowed to buy, and drink, an extra 6 cans of beer each on the one hour flight... 'Boutique' it may be, but business first, in good Chinese logic... And then this...

[SABloke]

He's an <deleted>, no question about it, but he'd still be an <deleted> even if the headline had read ''Drunk MAN assaults...'' Does this story carry more weight if he's farang
