BuffHello Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 British man objects to soaking and hits out at revelers Boonlua Chatree A British man who objected to having water thrown over him because he was carrying a child lashed out at revelers and found himself in trouble with the police. The incident happened in front of the Hard Rock Hotel at 6 p.m. on April 16. Officers from Pattaya police station were called out to the disturbance where they found a couple, Ms Chatchada Scuklin, 26, and a Norwegian named Ordent Prakle, 32, who said they were having fun throwing water with relatives, but that a foreign man had objected. The foreigner had hit Prakle in the face and had also attacked the relatives before running into the Hard Rock Hotel. Police followed the man, who ran up to the third floor and then jumped onto a roof and escaped into the crowds. Ignoring the word ?No? resulted with a smack to the face. He did not get far. Police apprehended him in front of Soi 8, on Pattaya Second Road. He was identified as Nicolas John Matcher, a 34-year-old British national. Officers escorted him to Pattaya police station. Matcher stated that he didn?t want to get wet because he had just left home and was also carrying a child. He had asked the Songkran revelers not to throw water, but in vain. This left him angry, which led him to strike out at the group and throw water back at them. The injured party said they had no intention to annoy anybody who didn?t want to join in Songkran but they couldn?t accept being attacked. They asked the police to pursue the case against Matcher for injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 "The injured party said they had no intention to annoy anybody who didn?t want to join in Songkran " What do you call throwing water on somebody who asks you not to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Hi, Completely agree, Weird. As far as I am concerned that Prakle guy started the fight. So, if it is okay to ignore a 'No' for throwing water, is it also okay to ignore a 'No' when trying to force a girl to have sex? Maybe it is the girls fault after all if she gets raped. Some seriously fucked up logic being displayed, but this involving Thai police *and* Songkran, somehow I am not surprised Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardinalblue Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 This is like the girl or guy who is raped/murdered and then blamed for what is she doing out in the early monrings hours in a known bad neighborhood? Where is his or her accountablilty and the focus shifts to them because it becomes almost accepted that rules and laws will be broken in certain areas or during specific events... Kind of the same thinking about a certain people who has to cover their flesh because not to arouse their perpetrators' basic animal instints to attack them for gratification, doesn't it? People takie the low road in these types of cases. Many times it is easier to blame the victim because not wanting to deal with the root cause....

It seems to bring out the worst in me. Guys like Mr. Prakle should watch out for grumpy old men with buckets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh_Hoy Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Came back to my digs about midnight (Royal Grand Nana Hotel & Spa) from Soi Cowboy. Was soaked for the 3rd time that day and powder on me. Took a quick shower, put on my FOURTH set of dry clothes, and strolled over to the NEP. Everything was quiet except at the entry. One big (HUGE) farang with his Thai "date" laughing and shooting anything that moved with a water stick. He was drawing water from one of those 50-gallon drums that had previously(?) contained god-knows-what. I told him "no" as I headed to the steps on the left going up to the second floor. He just bellowed and let me have it good. I just laughed it off...too old to give the guy and enema with his water stick by now. Went into Three Roses and fetched the floor bucket. Pissed a goodly sum in it; added a quart of water from the toilet with a container back there. I then went outside half-way down the staircase. He was still going at it. I yelled down to him "sawadee bpee mai". He looks up with his drunken grin and I got him square in the face. He just laughed. But not as much as I back in the bar. He obviously didn't have a clue.
