Drunk Man Punched by Partner After Late-Night Home Visit
A man punched by his ex-partner after showing up drunk and uninvited at her Udon Thani home at 2 a.m. agreed to drop assault charges for 3,000 baht and an apology, seeking reconciliation.
A 51-year-old man from Udon Thani's Chaiyawan District filed an assault complaint with police after being punched in the face by his 50-year-old ex-partner on June 29 around 2 a.m. The incident occurred when the man, intoxicated and lonely, showed up at the house uninvited. When he insisted on going upstairs despite being told to leave, he was struck and required three stitches at the local hospital.
The man initially pursued charges but later softened his stance, expressing a desire to reconcile with his ex-partner. He agreed to drop the case in exchange for 3,000 baht compensation (1,000 per stitch) and an apology. He claimed they had been dating for nearly a year since meeting during harvest season and that he merely wanted to reconnect, admitting he may have arrived late and should not have insisted on entering.
Meanwhile, the ex-partner's 70-year-old mother disputed his account, explaining that her son does not accept transgender women and warned that the man's persistent unwanted visits would result in trespassing charges. She stated her son had no choice but to act in self-defense when the man refused to leave and attempted to force his way upstairs. She indicated this was a one-time exception but future intrusions would be reported to police.
