webfact Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Tourist beaten unconscious in Pattaya. Thai man charged Report by Pattaya One News Team PATTAYA: -- On the night of October 9 thirty-six-year old Japanese national Mr Yushi Yokohama (first described as Korean) beaten unconscious in Petchtrakul Road, Pattaya, by a group of Thai men. At 9.30pm, on the night of October 10, Pattaya police arrested thirty-six year old Mr Wuttikorn Klaeklad on suspicion of assault. The suspect claims he had been chatting to his girlfriend, using the Line app, when the victim, who was drunk, grabbed his phone from him. He says he asked for it back and then told the victim to ‘go to bed.’ He said that as he walked away the victim became aggressive and punched him twice in the face, which made him angry. He said that he pushed him away and he accidentally fell to the ground. So, he said, he ‘kicked him twice in the face and ran away.’ He has been charged with assault.

alocacoc Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Not good TAT. Japanese people are quite sensitive to such incidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z42 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 The whiff of bullshit (mods, can i say that?) is overpowering. The attackers' account of what led up to him kicking this Japanese lad twice in the chops is absurd at best. Wonder what the punishment for assault on a tourist is, and wonder why he wasn't charged with tarnishing the good image of pattaya ? And its weird that a group of attackers is mentioned yet only 1 is getting arrested. Hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharecropper Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I wonder if they're coached at the cop shop to come up with this blameless bullshit, when making their statements - put some blame on the tourist and we may get through this....

alfalfa19 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 the tourist probably did not smile or wai in the correct fashion, thus he deserved his beating by a group of law abiding guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reigntax Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Just the normal Pattaya welcome, almost daily reported event, to be superceded by tomorrows new victim with the same pretence that they care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemorechang Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Shock, horror. BS story from the Thai guy. One more Tourist has the welcome to Pattaya stamp, from the Thugs that rule the streets now in this town.

hawker9000 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) So this Thai was just minding his own business, LINE'ing with his GF, and this drunk Japanese guy just wanders up out of the blue, grabs his phone, refuses to give it back, and then slugs him twice in the face... Why sure. Who wouldn't believe all that? 'Happens all the time... Does the guy happen to be an ex-Bangkok taxi driver by any chance? 'Seems well qualified.

gandalf12 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Typical Thai mentality. We can't do anything alone, but feel like they are hard men when there is a bunch of them. Dogs run in packs do I need to say more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoshowJones Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Was the assault carried out by a group of Thais? That would be the most likely scenario, I can't see a Thai man carrying out an assault by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOTIRIOS Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 ...sounds like this story was purposefully written in an incoherent manner..... ....I've heard about denial...but this is a new all-time low..... ...and it mentions 'a gang' briefly..... ...just blame it on the foreigner and that settles that..... ...jeez....
