PHUKET:-- The motive behind an attack on a toilet attendant in Patong by a group of foreigners remains unclear as the victim has refused to a file a complaint. 

On May 3, a Facebook user offered a reward of 5,000 baht to anyone who could help him find the foreigner who allegedly refused to pay a 10 baht fee to use a toilet on Bangla Road.

Patong Police managed to learn the name of the foreigner involved and the fact that he was American. He has already departed Thailand.

Already departed as I assumed in the initial thread.

 

Victim refuses to file a complaint.

More reason to be skeptic whether the "not pay 10 Baht" is the real story.

More than likely a little "Peeping Tom".

American complaining about the lack of transgender facilities ?

Obviously the American was looking for gratification or maybe got what he wanted n refused to pay....?

It's the massage-while-peeing-thing, the tourist took it the wrong way

the kid took pics of the girls with his mobile ... he got caught and the girls went and got the farang guy ...   that's the reason ...

So chasing and attacking with a knife is not a punishable offense?  One thing to slash the guy when the guy was attacking him, but to look for the knife as seen in the video and chase after him to slash him, sure seems like a serious offense was committed.

Yes, the way they identified the American was because he sought medical treatment for his knife wounds.

Once again the regular TVF posters who believe anything (10yo, 10 baht, really!), and rush into print to condemn, and demand medieval type punishments, are left with egg on their faces.

Police unable to uncover the reasons- maybe they should look here!

But its fun to sit on the sidelines and watch them get all a-froth!

Seems a number of crimes were committed if TVF posters are to be believed.

 

The attendant was a peeping tom taking photos of ladies in the toilets.

 

The American cannot take the law into his own hands and seriously assault someone. He should go to the authorities. Would he do that in the US?

 

The assaulted person cannot retaliate with a knife and seemingly did so inflicting injury.

 

But no doubt, as the American has gone home, the attendant won't file a complaint, it's cased closed.

And Facebook account closed ("tohee.seesa" isn't available).

Probably little peeping tom didn't tell his father the whole story
