Thai Man Points Pistol At Russian Visitor In Phuket

[Pattaya Daily News]

Vasiliy Tubaev, a visitor from Russia, had a gun pointed at his head by a Thai man, in what appeared to be a misunderstanding over a Thai woman in Phuket.

PHUKET – June 19,2013; Mr Tubaev came to Thailand and April 5 and rented an apartment in PK Mansion in Phuket Town, not far from Central Festival.

After a month or so he got to know a Thai woman called Karn who lived in the same building and worked in an office on the ground floor.

Mr Tubaev told The Phuket News’ Russian-language sister paper Novosti Phuketa that he knew she was “living with some guy” but that he was led to believe that the man was her brother.

He had lunch with Karn and her colleagues a couple of times and then, on May 26, the girls invited him to go with them to Khao Lak.

On June 5, however, Karn said they could no longer see each other. She would not say why.

The very next day Mr Tubaev heard somebody knocking on his door and trying to open it. He didn’t unlock the door and the visitor went away. At about 3 pm there was again a knocking at the door.

This time Mr Tubaev set up his camera and pressed the record button before opening the door.

The man who came in produced a pistol, pointed it at the Russian and ordered him to his knees. He told Mr Tubaev to stay away from Karn, who he said was his wife, and to go back to Russia.

He reinforced the message with several slaps to Mr Tubaev’s face and head, then put the gun to his forehead and pulled the trigger. The gun did not fire and the Thai man left.

Mr Tubaev moved out of the building the same day and, two days later, reported the incident to the police. The Thai was arrested three days later.

The Russian told The Phuket News that the Thai, who was not named, had offered his apologies and B10,000 compensation, but that he decided not to accept either.

The case is now going through the courts. Mr Tubaev has now left Phuket.

Police told The Phuket News the gun was a replica, and could not fire bullets.

Hilarious! Especially the part where he closed the door, then immediately came back for more.

Assault and point a gun at someone and threaten to kill them.  Tell them to leave the country.  Only 10k.  Seems kind of low ball given what some others pay for minor vandalism or theft.  i don't blame Russian guy for not accepting. 

 

(And the fact the gun was fake is not relevant as the victim in this case would not necessarily know that.)

I wouldn't take kindly to someone demanding that I hit my knees, hold a gun to my head as if to execute me while they slap me around.

 

I would have accepted the 10k baht as long as they gave me 15 minutes in a sound proof locked room for a little physical pay back, man to man!

 

I'm just sayin........

okay he taped it makes sense he knew something was up but when the guy clicked the pistol why didn't he grab the guy's arm and teach him a lesson.  Sorry I did not have camera in the hallway when he fell down the stairs.

Fight a thai man in thailand?? Don't be silly

 

The only time i've seen a fa-lung beat a thai in a fair fight (as in one on one) was in an organised Muay Thai contest in the ring and it was a russian guy that beat the crap out of his thai opponent.

 

That's not the way it happens out side of the ring though.
