"Jealous" daylight acid attack on couple out on Chumpon beach

 

Picture: Sanook

 

CHUMPHON: -- Two women in full face helmets attacked a woman and her boyfriend with acid in broad daylight on a Chumpon beach yesterday.

 

The woman was severely hurt and is in hospital while the boyfriend survived largely unscathed.

 

Earlier Moo, 39, and his girlfriend Ta, 43, had arrived on a motorcycle at a restaurant on Thung Wua Len beach and had lunch.

 

After that they borrowed a mat from the restaurant to go and sit together on the beach.

 

Witnesses said that two women in full face helmets arrived and were nosing around Moo's bike. Ta came back to the restaurant to get a key she had forgotten then was followed back onto the beach by the women, who were dressed in black.

 

The women then grabbed Ta's head from behind and threw acid all over her arms and body. Her face was not hit.

 

What was left of the acid they threw at her boyfriend before they ran off.

 

Sanook reported that Moo is well known in the area. They said that he worked at a vehicle detailing shop in Chumpon.

 

He had been seeing a woman who worked at the same shop who he later found out already had a family and relationship.

 

Sanook said the attack was borne out of jealousy.

 

Pa Thiw police are investigating.

 Agree.

 

Further, my Thai son has moved away from several of his old uni buddies because they have families but have no hesitation to woo other girls, often knowing that the girls they woo are already married with kids.

 

My son tells them in no uncertain terms to behave themselves and respect their wives and kids.

 

Usual response - 'your too serious.'

 

Farang in Thailand and everywhere same scenario.

The thermometer of success is merely the jealousy of the malcontents.

“ You can only be jealous of someone who has something you think you ought to have yourself! "

This was a personal attack & Thai women are pros at it.

[hobobo]

I guess that "handsome Moo" wasn't content with only a wife and mia noi, he wanted a gik as well. Black clad giks felt short-changed?

[Dogmatix]

Farangs, who believe their Thai girlfriends when they say they are single are also at risk or this sort of attack, 

[dunroaming]

Life in Thailand is full of lust and hate and the jealous response always seems to be violence.

The media must have made a mistake because Thais are very peaceful Buddhists therefore this has to be an innocent accident.

About 5 years ago, I had a gf from Chumphon who worked in a govt. office.  She was having dinner with a group of people from her work. Suddenly, a Thai woman approached the group and threw acid on one of the women dining.  Apparently, one of the guys from the office was having an affair with a co worker (the targets of the attack).  The group restrained the woman.  When they learned it was the other gf of the guy, the group let the guy escort the attacker home while people who were injured by the spray of acid went to the hospital. Luckily no one was blinded.  I forced the issue and after several arguments with my gf, a police report was filed by my gf a couple of days later.  Police arrested the attacker, then let her go because she apologized.  The attacker was a teacher in the province, if you can imagine. I was furious when the police let her go. I went to the police station and raised hell because my gf was injured in the attack (2 small burns on her face where acid had splashed during the scuffle to restrain the teacher), even though she was not the intended target. The police did nothing.  My gf was angry with me, not the teacher.  Supremely pissed,  I went to the school and threatened to inform a real newspaper about the teacher and her actions.  After all was said and done, the teacher had to pay a pittance to the primary target/victim (1500 THB). She had to pay 5,000 THB to the principal of her school for embarrassing the school.  My gf and the others who were injured got nothing.  No one seemed to understand that I didn't want money...I wanted the teacher in jail. At the very least to lose her job. The entire office was angry with my gf and me for "making this a big deal". This is Thai justice. Warped.

Reason that incidents like this happen: he is spending his "money" on another woman, not her. ?

It is not about love, Love my a** , it does not exist here.

Women throwing acid at other women? Gotta be crazy, yeah? Just a pity they won't lock em up and throw away the key!!!

I agree that its not about 'love', jealousy shown by violence never is, especially something so crazy as this!..  but as for any genuine feelings between one person and another, then I think its just a bit self-righteous to state 'It [Love] doesn't exist here'! Maybe YOU haven't found it here, or at least maybe that wouldn't fit with the negative tale you want to tell about the place - a bad experience? I really wouldn't know - but to tell us all ' it doesn't exist here',  then I'd have to say speak for yourself!  We all know there's enough negativity and lack of 'love', whatever, too often wherever we might go in this world, but just stating such negativity of the place where you are as simple fact when its moreover just regarding what you [obviously want to] think is just making yourself 'another brick in that wall'!! But then again, that's just what I think.
