UPDATE: Public Oral Sex Offender Is Regular Pattaya Bar Patron

[Suradit69]

... but blamed the amount of alcohol he had consumed.

Nicely worded to deflect any personal responsibility. In vino veritas.

[UPDEHSOI]

God, I wish I hadn't read that last post.

Aww w, it'll be okay. If it bothers you that much, just make sure you keep your head 'above board' next go'round.

A Thai friend phoned me to tell me about this story. It is apparently all over the Thai language media. Songkran is a religious festival too. What the behavior by the farang here does is further fuel the stereotype-typical view held by many Thais about the disrespectful and disgusting way foreigners behave here in Thailand.

It is such behavior that causes the police and immigration and other officialdom to make more stringent and difficult rules for farangs to get visa's and renewals etc.

The above Thai language news report describes the incident as a Thai female beer bar employee being suddenly sexually assaulted by a drunk foreigner (kohn tang chat, not farang), but because she was intoxicated, she was unable to fight off the assault. Her co-workers are described as rushing to stop the assault and separate them. Aside from acknowledging she was very intoxicated at the time of the assault, the woman is largely portrayed sympathetically.

So why is the face from the lady blurred out, while the foreigners face isn't, she is as much an offender as the foreigner as I didn't noticed from the coverage that you was enjoying the act.

Never mind, I know the answer.

"as I didn't noticed from the coverage that you was enjoying the act.

Now if we could only understand the question.

And what about the behaviour of the girl out in the street in her underwear so drunk she admitted she couldn't defend herself? As always, Thais are all too ready to blame the classless idiots that are encouraged to come to Thailand by her kind of behaviour (common both on Soi 6 and elsewhere), while seeing themselves as blameless for anything.

I agree with you to some extent, but you need to take a closer look at the photos - there are TWO people involved in this act. A Western sex tourist AND a Thai hooker. Not just a falang at fault here.

Been edited now, and note to self to make the morning coffee stronger.

I agree with you, but setting aside the issues of public lewdness and drunkenness, from a legal standpoint the man does appear to have also commited a sexual assault, insofar as he initiated sexual contact without the consent of the woman. Even if she was a prostitute (and that has not been established) that doesn't give others to sexually assault her with impunity.

sanctimonious bunch ..... SO no thais visit hookers, no hookers in Thailand, surely there are more pressing things to worry about eg a major cull on the roads,a non functioning police force, strange happenings in the corridors or power etc etc

[onemorechang]

One more fine example of the Family destination of Pattaya.

Soi 6, , Move along, Next please.

She works at a bar on Soi 6 and you question whether she is a prostitute or not, That is the best laugh I have had all day :)

[raphoedon]

I bet later they played poker in the rear, the rear of the bar I mean, I think!

[elgordo38]

Couldn't defend herself and only tried to push Mr Ben away. So she was being raped? I didn't see much pushing, she seemed to be willing and going with the flow. Instead of laughing and smiling why not scream out if you are being attacked.

I bet she still has a smile on her face.

[macksview]

What's Thai for herpes?

i dont know

but i think anyone who knows ben, would be not keen on him kissing their children/grand children.

free ben, he does what others fear to do.

[Jeremy50]

A sex-pat with a prostitute. Really who cares. Most Thais I know have their phones chock full of porn, at least if the whole country is <deleted> or <deleted> it will keep them off the lethal roads. When is anyone really going to address that problem? I'm fed up with seeing these 'brain on road' pictures that keep coming up on my facebook feed.

[macksview]

a reference for the older posters

i hope he was 'gentle ben'

you dine on one service providers hoy and nobody forgets

[cumgranosalum]

how could you EVER prove that this has or has not "damaged tourism" - it just goes to show how limited the understanding of the authorities is on this aspect. I suppose we could all fill in an appropriate question on our boarding cards and then computer analyse the results after a year?

[Jingthing]

I feel remorse for watching the video.

[akentryan]

It takes all kinds. Many years ago I ran an tavern in rural North Carolina. A customer, first name of Peabo, was introduced to me as the "p---y eating champion of Iredell County. Seems he had be born without a sense of smell. I would not want to have to count the number of times I've witnessed oral sex (both ways) in a bar in Pattaya. Granted that this is on an open balcony but I'm sure both were loaded to the gills. Wonder if the American is from North Carolina?

Thai's won't take responsibility for their actions, it's always someone else's fault.

I know I ordered the clams not spicy, but for some reason my tongue's on fire.

I believe this was a joint thai/American collaboration. Can't hold the yank 100% responsible, the Thai held the keys and with a giggle leased them out to the farang. Yes she said to the police she couldn't fight him off but if you look at the video, she is 50% responsible

[WhizBang]

This will not damage Thailand's tourist image. If anything it will boost tourism.

[gandalf12]

So what is it the hundreds of girls on Soi 6 do exactly? You know, information for the signs to be printed in Chinese and English. National Park? Wat? Student Library?

They try to make patrons repent from their scandalous life style, what else could it be?

[Jingthing]

Clearly the culprit is DEMON GIN!

Based on the Buddhist calendar.

[whitemouse]

Our reputation for clean, wholesome town has now been ruined forever. Who's going to travel to Pattaya now!?

[Baerboxer]

...why do they blur out the photo of the woman...and not the man....

...are we going to pretend she is innocent....

Stickboybangkok has the uncensored one.

Cheers Doc.

Wonder what sort of "businessman" he is"? Lucky to be getting away with a fine and possibly some compensation here and there.

The young lady was declared innocent - she certainly looks well pissed but just lay back and spread'em. It was the other women around who shot him with water and stopped him.

She looks very hung over in the police station whereas he still looks wazzed.
