Chinese Couple, Throwing Hot Water And Threatening to Blow Up The Plane Force Return To Bangkok

[lildragon]

total screw ball...these people who cant behave themselves on a plane need to be dealt with seriously, i´ve seen too many idiots on planes over the years, from Chinese / japanese wandering down the plane just before landing, puting the stewardess in danger that has to run after him....from drunken swedish , danish arrisholes.. a russian mouthing off at a thai on an air asia flight and the thai guy beating the sheeite out of him...a drunk dane sitting next to me that was refused any more drink then assaulted the trolley dolly before falling over, he was then threatened with arrest and being cuffed...a loopy nepalese woman fighting with a stewardess over her handbag , climbing over seats, refusing to keep shutters shut when people sleeping..while she filmed the sun with her camera.. , absolute nut cases, is it too much to ask just to behave yourself for a couple of hours???

So many drunken Scandinavians I have a lot of Swedish friends so it is good to wind them up.

As it is so often my fellow Brits that normally embarrass me while traveling

I have had to put up with this behaviour on airasia Bangkok to Macau . The route to Macau from Thailand seems to allow PRC Chinese a way to bypass visa requirements that are in place on the land crossings or flights from China . Anyway , they are nuts . The redeye monday morning express was always full of crew cutted mobsters who were escorting large groups of young women . Noisy morons delaying the take off by fighting over who sits where on an airasia flight is a nightmare , as if it wasn't bad enough .

Err, I would suggest that as they are already in BKK then the PRC Nationals already have a travel permit and of course can enter Macau that is in itself an autonomous region of the PRC. No?

You could be right but I think they need an entry permit for Macau . I would also hazard a guess to say that these crews were not normal tourists but again Macau is full of hard looking mobsters and they might well like their jollies in Bangkok with 30 + dolly birds in tow . I too have experience with the normal tourists every weekend on the Macau to HK ferry and they are at worst noisy and daft. No disrespect intended. Getting violent and threatining flight attendants is the entitiled behaviour of a criminal element.

I am sure I am.

I should have added that the group you refer to more than likely originally travelled from China to Macau and then to BKK and were on the original return route, i.e. the relevant travel permit. Criminal element the couple surely are not but do conform to your 'noisy and daft' observation. I do agree the constant seat changing on boarding is an annoyance but so to the obsessive belts off and standing in the isles immediately after landing while not forgetting the inability to recognise a line or queue anywhere be it shop checkout, bus, train or taxi rank.

By the way, AirAsia is not a Thai airlines, as per the OP; it's Malaysian owned.

Thai Air Asia is owned 55% by Asia Aviation PLC (Thai) and 45% by Air Asia International (Malaysia) and it is a Thai company with its registered office in Bangkok. The aircraft are registered in Thailand. A few years ago Shin Corp (guess who) owned a share of Thai Air Asia but sold out to Asia Aviation.

Anyone who threatens or assaults the aircraft crew should be arrested and charged with a crime (which it is in most countries) and pay the penalty and banned from flying. The cabin of an aircraft is no place for this type of behaviour.

In a world of mixed opinions about authority and use of force I think it is fair to say there is no beating too severe to subject people to who disrupt a flight to this extreme. You could pretty much remove their heads with a machete and get a standing ovation from all passengers on board and free peanuts for life from the airline.

[Benmart]

They say people in alphabetical order, rather than in family groups or based on relationships?

I assume this was the tour company's doing rather than the airlines.

Perhaps. Talking to the cabin crew often resolves this problem once everyone is seated.

Hopefully took them away for a <deleted> good hiding!

Hopefully, they will extended tour inside thai jail

"In a Thai jail"-----HaHa----- They were 'FINED' and put on the next plane !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Benmart]

While I don't condone the behaviour these passengers, the hate, bigotry and statements advocating beating them on board are certainly astounding. Any nationality has its less than civil segment, which is reflected in some of the comments posted on his forum.

[biplanebluey]

This couple most have something wrong with them if they are acting like this even after being sat next to each other? Maybe they wanted some sort of freebie afterwords, didn't get it then went full schizo.

I know a lot of Chinese (living) here and they are decent folk. But I have seen some mentally loud tourists. I remember one guy loudly taping up his boxes in a tiny cafe opposite king power if absolutely no regard for the other customers. Took him like 20 or so minutes. In the end I went to go and talk to him but he just kind of shrugged me off and then left.

But I think the couple in this story are especially nuts and have mental problems.

"taping up his boxes??"------ what the hell does that mean ???

Quality Tourists

Possibly they were trying to emulate the behavior of "an important man" from the British diplomatic corps.

A senior British diplomat in Thailand broke through three pairs of plastic handcuffs, threatened to kill fellow airline passengers and abused cabin staff after drinking heavily on a flight to London in the aftermath of the tsunami, a court heard yesterday.

Fellow passengers seated near Colonel Peter Roberts, defence attache at the British embassy in Thailand, said it became clear very quickly that he was an important man with an important job.

But as the Etihad Airways flight from Abu Dhabi to Heathrow flew over Belgium in February last year, Col Roberts' behaviour deteriorated until he went berserk, Isleworth crown court heard.

Extremely poor English, mr Liu.

[wabothai]

And mr. Light Beer,

English gramar does definitely not dictate to have each word start with a capital letter in a sentence. Thank you !

[ginjag]

Air Asia has a knack for eliciting this kind of behaviour. Some of Air Asia's policies need to be changed. They call you esteemed client but treat you like S#@$t.

Total bleeding rubbish. Chinese upbringing together with Thai also needs a policy change. Fancy a westerner twisting the thread into Air Asia problem. Think mate a bit. and those who liked the post.

Throwing boiling water over a flight attendant, threatening to blow up a plane... so fined and put on the next plane out. Lucky then they weren't charged with anything more serious like selling second hand dvd's...

How would they do that?

I assume they couldn't speak Thai and the Thai stews couldn't speak Chinese.

Also

distributing instant noodles and boiling water on a flight is asking for trouble, even with the best intentioned passengers.

[Scott]

Generally, don't they put the water in the noodles and serve in the container?

[mok199]

flying ''no class''...

[KohKaine]

Well they're not called the Chin-ease are they? They are probably the worst tourists I've ever encountered, so he and rude. Not to say they are all like that but come on, they sure don't have a good reputation!

[Mudcrab]

Disgraceful Third World people.

I say, deserve a damn good thrashing old bean...what!

Certainly not up to the Standard of disgraceful First World people.

[Mudcrab]

^ mind seriously blown by those pictures

Huh??

mind seriously blown by those pictures.

Why?? I can't see anything mind blowing in the pictures I viewed.

Perhaps the mind was blown before looking at the pictures?

[Mudcrab]

In before racist comments made on all chinese people but of course it won't be the same were the couple a farang one.

Would have been if they were Aussies

[Andre0720]

Ahhh, honeymooners these days,,,,

[Usual Suspect]

Cause mayhem & dispuption on a flight, with threatening behavior & risking the lives of everyone on board...but it's OK, mai-pen-rai..you are Chinese, we dare not upset you..or your diplomats.

We will fine you and send you home tomorrow.

BUT..getting caught picking mushrooms within National Park boundries carries a 10yr sentence...the system here is unreal!

[Lancashireman]

Air Asia might need to rethink its advertising slogan:

"Now everyone can fly"

"...but not everyone should."

Beat me to that retort...astute...

You've obviously never been to mainland China.

Were those the photo of the woman pooping outside a Singapore MRT station? The mods have deemed that offensive.

[ginjag]

Doesn't sound the norm, as well as it's mostly fast food not a hot water delivery.

[LawrenceChee]

I hate it when we have such representation of the Chinese abroad as it drives the already crazy racists into overdrive and the reasonable travelers to insanity

The reality is with 10% traveling the first time on planes ...that's 130 million on a plane and some follow the rules and we have some like this

who are bonkers

Will be calling the camps at Dongbei for a re-education process for these 4 idiots ....nothing like -20 degree C run that will make you appreciate hot water instead of throwing it away

[Fatty123]

RTP: what you did is a criminal offence. It carries a prison sentence.

Spoilt brats: Oh no! (sob sob). Please don't send us to jail. We still get tucked into bed by our mommies. Please, please, please..

RTP: I'm sorry we will need to take you to the police station

Spoilt brats: Wail! Sob sob! We'll do anything...anything

RTP: Perhaps there is...something... we can do???

Spoilt brats: Name it. Anything..we'll go straight home and be a good little boy and girl.

RTP: Well...it rhymes with honey, made of paper and you can use it to buy goods and services

Spoilt brats: Oh. I see. Does a word rhyming with shifty with three zeros at the end cover it?

RTP: Each, yes(takes money). Oh what a shame. Seems our car has broken down and we can't take you to the station after all. Enjoy your flight home!

I have flown China Southern to Europe a few times and I found the vast, vast majority of the Chinese passengers to be friendly and well mannered. The only particularly noisy one I ever encountered was the chap chasing after me in Amsterdam airport and yelling at me to stop so he could return my forgotten Kindle...

[Mister Fixit]

Yes, these are the sort of people, one of whom was filmed having a <deleted> in a canal at Chiang Mai ...

A 100% surcharge on people of this ilk would be a good deterrent (and also a good moneymaker for Thailand).
