Thai at Heart Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Not there to say sorry, but to beg for forgiveness. Unless misquoted, that really is quite digusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryd Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 "Anna refused to be arrested at the scene, claiming she was "not ready.” She was apparently not tested for alcohol until almost 10 hours later when she handed herself in at Prawet police station. Police expect the result of the test by Friday." Say <deleted> ? Since when can you "refuse" to be arrested ? Sounds like the "Dick Cheney" method (where his Secret Service escort refused to allow the state police to interview/arrest him for "accidentally" shooting his hunting partner, until the next day when, conveniently, there'd be no alcohol left in his system). But the good news is :"...and said she will go to meditate for awhile when the matter is resolved,". Ahhh how nice. If the family forgives her and accepts her offer of compensation she'll go meditate "for awhile" afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alocacoc Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 What i do find really disgusting is the way how the Thai press everything out of such story's. Thais are panicking to loose their face. But they love it to see how others loosing its face. Hypocrisy as its best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the family are left with just memories, what they would give for one more hug from their Dad, asking for forgiveness and not going to say sorry is all about her and not about the family.

Tatsujin Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 If my son's killer arrived at the funeral of my son begging me for forgiveness, there'd be another funeral that day ... shameful, selfish and disgusting ... so Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai at Heart Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 If my son's killer arrived at the funeral of my son begging me for forgiveness, there'd be another funeral that day ... shameful, selfish and disgusting ... so Thai. It is quite beyond belief. Begging forgiveness before saying sorry. Beyond that, as yet, the family has no idea if this woman is going to face any punishment at all, other than money. So I wouldn't be offering any forgiveness before working out how culpable the woman actually is. Isn't this woman a luug kreung. Can't her father offer any advice worth taking. I.e. say sorry before you beg for forgiveness.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkidlad Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Vulgar. The funeral is supposed to be about the deceased and the ones who loved him. Now it seems it's all about her. If this woman truly wants forgiveness, wouldn't it make more sense to wait and let them grieve first. Let them decide when and 'if' they want to forgive her. Too traumatised to take a breath test at the time? What a load of bulls%$^! Edited June 29, 2015 by rkidlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bung Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I think asking for forgiveness is actually saying sorry. I just hope the compensation reflects the loss of income of the breadwinner now gone and those little girls wont have to live a poorer life because of what happened. It should be many millions of baht but i think it would be around 1 million. She could easily take the insurance money from her wrecked Mercedes and give them that for a start and maybe have someone drive her around instead. I doubt it though.

slapout Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 we have seen the after effects of letting people offr lighty for several years, a lot of attitude adjustment was neeeded a generation ago, forgivness is not possible except by the deceased , already too late and he may be in a better place already.

scorecard Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Not there to say sorry, but to beg for forgiveness. Unless misquoted, that really is quite digusting. The family already traumatized by the death of their father and all the emotional rollercoaster at the funeral, and madam turns up for a photo-op.

I really am incredulous sometimes of how utterly insensitive supposedly suave and knowledgeable people can be in Thailand. She would have been frog marched out of the place if it had been connected to my family. She really sounds like an abominable little miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 For those who keep saying she didn't say she was sorry, she did just isn't shown in the English version. The Thairath does say she did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smedly Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 If it had been my relative that she slaughtered she would not be anywhere near any funeral, how disgusting, she should be in jail, RIP to this poor man and condolences to his family for their great loss if she was drunk it was manslaughter - a vehicle becomes a lethal weapon in the hands of a drunk, other scenarios include speeding and or driving while using a phone or a combination of them all, either way depending on the evidence presented would result in a jail term ranging from 4 years to 25 years in the west.

Bung Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 This is all perfectly normal in thailand. Im sure young Anna has been coached well these last few days about what to say and what not to say....Saying sorry could be construed as an admission of guilt in court but it is more likely just the translation and i am sure they will be pushing this as an unfortunate accident. No ones fault. Although whether alcohol affected her judgement and could have been a mitigating factor we will never know as she was not tested for at least 10 hours so she had plenty of time to sober up.

BirdsandBooze Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 How selfish of her. At least wait and allow the family the dignity of sending off their husband and father without a media circus surrounding the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how the system works for rich or famous Thai people. We have seen it before and we will see it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildragon Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 She is damned if she does and damned if she doesn't. If she says nothing she is heartless, if she goes and asks for forgiveness (Buddhist style) she is selfish and making it about her etc. I think she has behaved better than the little wench that killed 9 people in the van by ramming of the tollway. She has shown NO remorse, not spoken a word to the families and is even appealing the absolute joke of a sentence she was given. At least this lady has shown some semblance of remorse. If she was indeed drunk then she should be locked up (won't happen). A massive payout will see her free. That is sick in itself but not exactly unexpected when a High so kills.

Braddockrd Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 This is clearly all staged. She has already paid a large sum of money to the family and this is the save face photo op. Another rich prick absconding Justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupatria Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Anna said to the media. "I want his family and the deceased to forgive me for what happened." Too traumatized, and refused an alcohol test and get arrested? She should not ask "I want forgiveness for what happened", instead she should be begging on her knees to accept her honest regret and apologies for what she did. It makes me sick to see that every A,B,and C- celebrity gets away after recklessly killing people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet....do not ever be in the vicinity of Movie Stars and Celebrities here in Thailand...... as all too often, close proximity seems to be very fatal.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Why should the family forgive her? Was there anything about what she did, at the time of the crash or thereafter, that is deserving of forgiveness??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
