PHUKET: A man who was arrested yesterday (June 17) while cooking kratom at his rented room, was also wanted in connection with the alleged assault on an Australian woman at a well known hotel in Cape Panwa early that same morning.

Wichit Police Chief Col Nikorn Somsuk said that the alleged assault happened just after midnight yesterday when a male went into an Australian woman’s room (police have withheld the woman’s name) at the resort and hit her once in the face with a piece of wood before fleeing.
Later yesterday Col Nikorn and his team arrested 21-year-old, Monnut Plakij, a former employee at the resort, at his rented room in Soi Saman Uthit in Wichit at 5:30pm.
Monnut was arrested together with 34-year-old Isares Awearri when they were both found in possession of 400 grammes of kratom.

I wonder what this has to do with the fact that he was cooking kratom. Or is this supposed to imply that kratom users are violent criminals?

The initiatives they have implemented that were to dramatically reduce crime against tourists don't seem to be working. The tourist courts and the one stop system of victims reporting crimes at 7/11 instead of to police seems to be a fizzer.

seems he was recently fired, so maybe the Australian woman said something to the resort management and he felt that she was responsible for him getting fired.

not condoning his behaviour of course, just giving an explanation of why it may have occured, could just be the typical loss of face/small minded/childish mentality.

I am eagerly waiting for the story where a farang fellow just kicks the living sh!t out of a couple of Thai men...seeing a youtube video of a Thai thug getting curb stomped by a provoked farang would really make my day...

...followed by a video of his trip to hospital after a gang beating? So you actually want to see MORE violence? Get real.
