Foreign English teacher attacked and raped in rice paddy - rapist hunted in Bangkok

[Samjabu]

NO-ONE deserves to be raped or violated in any form.  Some of the comments are despicable and the sarcasm unwarranted.  If that was your partner, mum, sister, aunt, niece, gran .. would you still be a computer warrior with your comments?  Rapists in any country should be dealt the long arm of the law, I don't care this is Thailand, the LOS and the alleged poor policing .. The rapists deserve to be behind bars for the rest of their lives, no parole or pardon or joining a monastery for a month or so.  These violent crimes seem to be happening more frequently which says that the justice system for perpetrators is not working.  If I was this lady's family I would ensure that no stone is unturned and these hideous men are dealt with in the harshest possible way.

'She sat in the middle of the two men' 

 

That is an extremely naive and in some ways provocative thing to do. What happened to this woman is inexusable BUT sitting in between two men on a motorbike??? How much room is there? Remember, we are dealing with farm boy numpties here.....What the hell was she thinking? I am going to be VERY unpopular in saying this but it WAS  slightly provocative for a western woman on her own to sandwich herself between two (perhaps obviously) drunk men. They deserve to have the key thrown away for what they did but where was her common sense?

Unpopular? That's one word I'd use to describe your post.

 

There are others, but we're not allowed to use them.

2 rapes and one attempted rape of foreigners in 10 days. How many foreigners get raped or sexually assaulted in Thailand each year? Anyone know the stats! It must be a worry to female tourist's over here right now.

Don't you mean one confirmed rape (this one) and one alleged rape that would have been impossible in the time scale between being seen very drunk with a farang on CCTV and reporting to the police 35 minutes later?

Another white woman in Thailand  What was it that Pryut said? Only ugly foreign women are safe here? Probably the most accurate statement he has or ever will make in his entire career.

How many rapes in any country? These stories are click bait sensationalism in a society where real news can be difficult to report. Read any local rag in the UK and the headlines are full of this stuff.  In places such as Afghanistan where there are many problems for women  this would not be a story - go figure.  

Not a man - Two men. Two drunk men. Two total strangers.  Men she did not know. No not asking to be raped but definitely getting into a situation where trouble could happen.  If you cant see that- OK.  

I understand your reasons but just looking for stats. If there are any?

And you'd think that since we are no longer living in neanderthal times victim blaming would not take place.

 

Come on BP, this is Thaivisa and blaming the victim is a time honored tradition here.   .

very sad for her and only hope she somehow overcomes it although it will be with her forever.

 

The 2 scum?  NO excuses, NO "i didn't mean it'. NO ' i was drunk' you are SCUM plain and simple and hope karma and justice wreaks devastation in your miserable lives.

Please don't being your Buddhist beliefs about karma into this. This law states that there is a reason for everything, including people getting raped.

There is not a high level of rape in Thailand, nothing like the level in Sweden.

What kind of retarded comment is this? Are you one of those asshats who blames rape on clothing?

No, he was making the point that thai men often blame the woman for the clothes she was wearing, ie the general about 2 months ago! Think before you post, "why would he say such a thing?"

[Moonmoon]

too many cases of foreign women raped recently. I cringed to think at what are the stats for local Thai women then?

The death penalty is only applicable in Thailand to rapes where the victim is also murdered.  

She was lucky -

My best wishes to her good recovery, and as we say back home--don't accept sweets from a stranger. I'd imagine the same applies to getting on a bike with not one, but two men. Just wish she hadn't learned the hard way

A free lift on a motorbike with strangers, what could possibly go wrong.

[Happy Grumpy]

Female tourists should be given tazers by the Thai government upon arrival.

Scum.

 

Yes, scum indeed. And actually he did do something. He was an accomplice to the crime and should be put away. He essentially held his friend's hand helping him carry out the deed, he might as well have raped her himself.

of Farang ladies been raped lately.

regards worgeordie

I momentarily thought the same thing, but if you look closely and think for a moment, you can be pretty sure that it is not a thumbs up sign. Usually a thumbs up sign has the fingers clenched and not open handed. I think he was using a gesture often used when explaining, proposing or asking something. It's difficult to describe in written form... maybe you know what I mean? Kind of like a rolling of the hand swiveling at the wrist. I would think the cameraman or editor should have had a better choice of pictures....

Hey,  how many Thai women would accept a lift from two men they didn't know, erm..... none. Of course there's alcohol in the mix, but given the rape statistics for south Africa you'd think this woman would be more cautious. 

 

I have often accepted lifts from thai males. Especially up country where it's quite common for someone to offer a lift on a motorbike. All of them took me too my destination, smiled and waved and absolutely refused to take money from me. 

One guy used to pick me up late at night from a house I was teaching at and take me to the bus stop. 

Sometimes he was quite drunk.

It never crossed his mind to hurt me in any way as he felt it was his duty to care for a foreigner in his country.

   Something that's a little bit disgusting is that the teacher was basically sitting between two men?

 

 I'm not blaming the victim in any way, but teachers should have a healthy commons sense.

 

As a South African, she should be aware how dangerous life for a woman can be. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 So you are blaming the victim, as usual.

[Scooby82]

Saturday night and she goes  sit with 2 drunken men on motorbike and she is a teacher too.....

They deserve to have the key thrown away for what they did but where was her common sense? 

Back when I lived in BKK, I saw foreign girls behave like this, actually MUCH more dangerous naive trusting behavior, a good number of times over the years. I've talked with some of them to warn them about how their behavior could bring about very bad consequences and if they continued that I am pretty sure it will sooner or later, probably sooner. BUT, a majority of these girls (Americans and Europeans) told me something along these lines - It is so much safer here than back home, I feel totally safe, the people are so kind... blah blah blah etc etc  They were confident that I was just a killjoy old jealous American and told me I didn't know what I was talking about, regardless of having been in the country over 10 years at that time. They were all new to the country (university exchange students) and had no clue at all about crime here. And a couple of them were from areas I know well, which have their good share of violent crime, but not comparable at all to Bangkok. And especially the difference on how women are looked on and how alluring and sexy these girls looked to Thai guys, even back home they would have been considered good looking. The context was usually when they were dressed scantily, tipsy or even barely able to walk drunk, and walking or getting motorcycle or  tuk tuk rides back to their room ( about 2 km), alone, at 2 in the morning.
My point is, you would think they should know better, but they don't! I don't know about the poor girl in this case, but it sounds similar to what I saw (except no reason to think she was dressed in any sexy way or drunk). Although it seems crazy, and a complete lack of common sense, they are totally trusting and so joyful at being in this wonderful land of smiles that they put themselves in compromising positions without having a clue.
I wish it could be the utopia they seem to think they are in....
All that said, no women can possibly bear any responsibility for being raped. Period. There is never any justification for any rape of any kind for any reason. A woman SHOULD be able to sit between two guys on a motorcycle without anyone thinking about sex. What on earth does a ride on a motorcycle have to do with sex!? Just because your bodies are in contact, sex comes to mind??? Or whatever other excuse... it is incomprehensible as to why this is the case. Just what do people think sex is!? What is it's function, purpose, and place??? Such a low view of sex will just encourage the continuance of this animalistic behavior.
I know many don't believe in the death penalty, but I sure do. Especially for rape and murder - and not just as a possible punishment, I think it should be a mandatory sentence.
Sorry for babbling on so long....

Let me see if I understand this...

 

A young, pretty, slim Farang was walking alone...

 

Two drunk strangers pull up and offer a ride.

 

Too lazy to walk the rest of the way?  

 

Bad choices have consequences, don't they? ?

So basically you played the rape& murder version "Russian Roulette", survived and now you've got some amazing wisdom to share, right?

 

Look at me!  I did blindingly stupid things many times.  I'm still here.  Genius. ?
