ezzra Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 " Speaking to reporters at the police news conference, Patiwat claimed he robbed the victim because he needed money to pay off his debt, and he attempted to assault her because he felt “sexually aroused.” In the twisted minds of a Thai Cabby, it makes it alright to act on one's urges, with complete disregards to other humans you have entrusted to serve..... I just hope that THIS cabby, will not end up with a 3,000 baht fine and a 3 months license suspensions as the cabby earlier this week got....

Maggusoil Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Never to work in the public transport system again? Perhaps? At least? Or a five year ban, even? I don't know, I think pilloried in the stocks, in his hometown with a bin full of refuse of different types in front of him and ladles for the public. 10 hours a day for 2 weeks. Why can't we be more creative here? Oh. I forgot. in the land of Buddhas' compassion, its forgive and forget and lets get on with the circus. Is it not?

Krataiboy Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Thai men are no worse than most when it comes to rape - and better than many. Don't believe me? Do a search of the top ten countries with the highest rape figures. Thailand does not figure, but the the US, UK, France, Germany and Sweden are all on the list. People in glass houses. . .

Possibly this is because Thailand does not publicise it's true figures in order to save face... also the big and more important fact is the punishment for such crimes is much more severe in developed countries instead of a small fine and a slap on the wrist, this also goes for most crimes committed e.g. robberies, snatching valuables from innocent people walking down the street - this is a really bad Thai trait. Stealing motorbikes, cars etc. people can expect jail time and not just a small fine & "don't do it again telling off" - Sorry No glass house here check it out..!!!

Stargeezr Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 It is Thailand after all and I guess this cabbie did not want to get something from a street lady of the night. Ha! I do know from my Thai relatives that rape is a common thing in Thailand, not many women will go to the police to report that they have been raped. Just like most countries in the world. Pretty sad really. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worse than most? You must be joking. Most are backward spoilt mommy boys who think they are allowed to do what they want. The reason why TH does not figure on global rape statistics is because most Thai women don't report rape to the authorities out of shame. Why is that? Because those same backward spolit mommy boys will blame them for being raped. Just as the mayor of Koh Tao said that it was the tourists fault for getting in harms way.

Kabula Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Most rapists are driven by dysfunctional control urges and not always arousal. In Central America I've seen cab drivers who rape tourists, which affects tourism get life sentences. Many get killed in prison or hit the wall and commit suicide within 7 years. For many years when I traveled worldwide, if taxi drivers lied to me or refused to turn on the meter or drove in circles several times I never returned to that country. Years ago Vietnam was the worse along with Nicaragua. If countries don't control the taxi drivers tourism is always affected in some way. For a taxi driver to steal and try to rape a tourist, he has to be retarded or mentally challenged in some way. If not, he is beyond stupid. They need to lock this idiot up for many years and make an example from his actions. My opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MockingJay Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Why not end these ongoing "taxi incidents" (cutomers raped, mugged, hacked to death by machete, etc.) by setting an example?Life in prison without parole for this guy and any taxi driver that "slips" in the future. Taxi license revoked from unfriendly and insulting drivers, and 3 month ban for "taxi meteeer no can" drivers. The latter - three reported incidents within a year and license is gone. Easy!!!

Stop being a Thai apologist. He is not being a Thai apologist, he is defending Thailand against uniformed, knee jerk, generalist opinions, its not the same thing. He is not defending the rape, but facts are facts, women get raped by taxi drivers in every country and Thailand is far from being the worse. We all know that too much rape goes on behind family doors, but again Thailand is a long, long way from being the worst country for women. What in my view is worse, is that there are far too many defenders of rape on this forum. Especially if a tourist is involved. There are also far too many taxi driver haters on this forum, most are hard working people who have to put up with appalling conditions driving all day for a pittance. Plus all the crap they get from passengers, especially farangs. But like in every country, taxi drivers are more exposed to strange situations than most other occupations. In the UK for instance it is far from unheard of for passengers to start having sex in the back seat and it happens here too as they pull out (pun intended) from Nana, PP or Cowboy, etc. Blame the individual, not all Thai men.

We are in Thailand. This is not Europe UK or America. This is a third world country with third world standards. What is not accepted by the Western World is acceptable by Thai's. These public transport operators need to be educated about new standards that is acceptable by the western wold. Plenty of tourist from all over the world is visiting Thailand and experiencing all types of treatment that is not acceptable from these public transport operators. The penalties on these misbehaving must be striker and not just a slap on the hand and a friendly warning "Don't do that again" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
