Bangkok, Commander of the 5th Precinct. It is believed that the Thai-Filipino transvestites clash was sparked by mutual repulsion. Then posted and invited each other until the chaos escalated. Confirming that there is no mafia and ladyboys This morning's atmosphere at Lumpini Police Station. There is an investigation into the incident of two women fighting from last night until this morning. There were 7 Thai people - 4 Filipinos interviewed. Pol. Maj. Gen. Wittawat Chinkham, commander of Metropolitan Police District 5, stated that from interrogating a group of 7 Thai women, it was initially known that the two sides had had problems before. Both sides had been summoned to mediate at Pathumwan Police Station once before. Before being released, they went on to attack each other on March 4th. The group of victims then followed them to the residence of the Filipino perpetrator. When the police heard the news, they went to stop the situation from escalating. and invited the Filipino perpetrators and victims to c ome for further questioning at the police station. But when someone posted a trend on social media, a large group of two girls gathered together. to put pressure on Filipinos residing in the said hotel Police had to deploy more than 40 men from a nearby police station to bring Filipino residents out of the hotel. Because of fear that the situation will escalate But at that time, the group came and lynched, causing one Filipino to be injured. As for the cause, it is believed that It's repulsive when we meet. Maybe because of different nationalities different opinions And because of this, there have been many attempts to negotiate and clear things up and they have dispersed. But later it was posted on social media. Once again, there was a gathering and the incident escalated into a chaotic situation. As for the preliminary proceedings, police are in the process of questioning the victim, who is a Thai citizen. To identify the person who caused the incident As for the injured Filipinos, a total of four people w ere initially brought in for questioning. One of the injured has already filed a report against the person who attacked him while he was taken to the police station. Police are initially examining evidence from CCTV cameras and video clips published online. Is there anyone involved in committing an offense or not? However, both sides have already been notified. and the injured on both sides were sent for physical examination at the police hospital. So the police will collect all the evidence. But initially no charges have been filed against either side and the CCTV and body cameras of the police must be examined in particular to identify as many of the people who caused the incident as possible. As for the group of two Filipino girls, they will have to identify all of them first. So we will know if there are any people who have fled the country. And if the parties leave the country, there are already procedures in place. Please be confident in the work of the police. In addition, we have coordinated with th e Tourist Police and Immigration Police to investigate the offenses of Filipino LGBTQ+ people who have entered the country legally. or stay longer than the specified period As for the matter of coming to work in Thailand or not, it is currently under investigation. Ready to confirm initially that there is no mafia group behind it and will ask to check first and will also go to the area to inspect the hotel where the incident occurred. As of this morning, a group of two Thai girls were the parties to the incident. Came out to give an interview that Today, their own group came to Lumpini Police Station to wish to negotiate with the opposing parties. Why did you hurt your younger generation? Even though our side has not done anything for us and in the past we were different people. As for this incident, it is considered the first incident because in the past there has never been an incident like this in which two foreign women attacked a Thai woman. But if there is a negotiation, I think the matter can be ended . When asked if there had been any problems before? group of injured friends Said that I had been working here for many years and that two Filipino ladies had just come to rent the hotel. at the scene of the incident and often gather to stand in front of the hotel on a regular basis He didn't know what kind of work he was doing, but everyone probably knew and understood what he was doing. And when a group of two Thai women walked by, they would be stomped by a Filipino gang, raised their feet at them, shouted insults, ridicule, insults, and shouted to get them to leave the area. It's as if the area belongs to two Filipina girls. In the past, they had tried to walk away to prevent problems from happening. Confirming that he was not the one who arranged for everyone to come together. I think other people saw the clip from social media and wanted to follow and give encouragement. and there was an attempt to negotiate in front of the hotel but was unsuccessful Until a chaotic incident occurred, according to clip s that appeared on social media. The police tried to get both sides to talk at the police station, where there were only four Filipino women with them, even though there were more than that and there were two of the four people who didn't know anything about the incident. There were only two people in the clip from that day. March 4. As for the remaining two Filipino women, they learned that this morning they had taken their bags from the hotel by taxi to the airport. They therefore wanted to question the officials about the incident at our house. Why was it so easy to be released out of the country? And I called the Immigration Police to inquire and said, The police in the area of ??the incident must issue an arrest warrant in order to detain the other party. Makes you hopeless with Thai law and the Thai police. Because the physical assault that occurred was considered severe, there was a 20 to 6 attack, but only 2 assailants were arrested, and the 20 to 6 gathering was considered an event that was too muc h for itself. I want the police and immigration police to check the entry of the two Filipina girls to see if they entered correctly or not. And what are you doing and staying longer than your visa? and come to work correctly or not He would like to request that he go check with the hotel where the incident occurred and look at CCTV footage from the past 12 days to know the behavior of this group of Filipinos. When inquiring There are clips of violence from two Thai women circulating on social media. Are they afraid they will be seen as using violence or not? A group of friends of the victims said that My own friend was wronged. We didn't start first, so we can't accept it. No matter what country the LGBT group encounters, they will definitely have to fight like them. He also said that foreign LGBT groups tend to see Thai groups as loving and helping each other more.
