whatawonderfulday Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 The reason was that he was Japanese. As Thaiwrath said 5 am is early morning. What we don't know is did the Thai man have a girlfriend who works in the entertainment industry and was also eating with the victim ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggles45 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The japanese man is a lot more forgiving than I would have been. I would want the guy in jail, he was lucky it could have been a very bad injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will bail be less than for that for a tourist who feeds bread to a couple of fish? Edited February 23, 2017 by Bulldozer Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 No hard feelings, so a 500 bath fine and this lowlife will be free to attack another tourist when under the influence again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thairookie Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Did you miss this bit.?... it was confirmed that the attacker was high on drugs and therefore didn’t know what he was doing. Even when high on drugs the assailant went in for a Japanese instead of a fellow Thai.Definitely a Thai made drug that can tell a foreigner from a Thai.
