TWO THAI social media users alleged that a Russian woman kicked a heavily pregnant Thai woman upon being asked to take off her shoes at the latter’s coffee shop on Koh Phangan, Amarin TV said today (Mar. 19).
An X user, Red Skull, circulated photos taken by Facebook user, Satika Oz, allegedly showing the Russian woman at the coffee shop with captions asking netizens to inform them if they saw her.
Later Satika Oz, said the suspect had been found and legal action against her started.
Red Skull had said in the caption: “This is the person who kicked a shop owner who told her to take off her shoes, but she refused to do so and criticised the shop owner for being rude.
“When she was asked to leave, she kicked her.
“Police report has been filed and she also has a medical certificate from the hospital. Now we are waiting for the police to summon her.”
The coffee shop owner replied to one of the comments asking why she did not protect herself and waited for the police, saying she was caught off guard with only her and her mother there at the time.
She added that they were talking to other customers when the Russian woman kicked her and she then pushed her out of the shop and shut the door, being afraid of getting hit again as she is eight months pregnant.
She added that she did not sit and wait for the police with the people on the island following the suspect and found her at another cafe.
Meanwhile Phuket police revealed at a press briefing yesterday that since October 1, 2023 there have been 400 cases against foreigners on the island province with visas of 95 of those involved revoked, Naewna newspaper said.
The briefing was held to announce that two brothers from New Zealand, Mr. Hamish Day, 36, and Mr. Oscar Mattson Day, 38, are facing five charges for trying to snatch a Phuket policeman’s pistol during a tussle after they were chased and stopped for speeding on their motorcycles.
The five charges against the two brothers are stealing, fighting and obstructing officers while performing their duties, attacking an officer, driving without a licence and bribery.
