A foreign man paid 1,500 baht in compensation to a Thai woman in the Isaan province of Udon Thani after he crashed his motorcycle into her fence and gave her the middle finger because he was irritated by her dog’s barking.
A video that went viral was recorded by the Thai woman, 45 year old Mod, and shared with Thai news agencies. In the video, Franz, the foreign man, was seen sitting on his motorcycle, repeatedly honking its horn, raising his middle finger at Mod, and threatening to crash into her fence.
Mod’s dogs were repeatedly barking at Franz, and Mod was heard shouting, “I called the police already!” Despite this, Franz continued to honk the motorcycle’s horn until the video ended.
Mod later filed a complaint against Franz at Mueang Udon Thani Police Station yesterday, August 19. She stated that she was living in fear after the incident and that Franz had also damaged her fence.

Mueang Udon Thani officers referred the case to the Tourist Police, who visited the community where the incident occurred in the evening. The Tourist Police then called Franz, who lived near Mod’s home, to the scene to settle the matter.
Franz initially offered 1,000 baht in compensation to Mod, but she refused, saying the amount was too small. Mod demanded 3,000 baht from the foreigner but Franz managed to negotiate it to 1,500 baht. The police asked the two to shake hands before parting ways, and they agreed.
Franz admitted his wrongdoing, saying he was annoyed by the dog’s barking, which led to his actions as seen in the viral video.
Mod insisted that her dogs had never bitten or barked at anyone without provocation. She believed that Franz might have done something to provoke the animals.
The two agreed to end the dispute and promised the police they would be good neighbours going forward.

He's in the wrong part of the world if barking dogs piss him off.

Has Andrew Tate had a dispute with a dog as well?

[Butch]

He might have, why do you ask?

Just wondering what he has to do with the subject matter of this thread

Well, it's the flow of conversation. Hamlay said nonce and I'd just read about Andrew Tate on Twitter so posted it. If you and I were sat in Central drinking coffee and eating cinnamon buns then (hopefully) the conversation would wander as people do. We don't compartmentalise our conversations.

It's like the 'turned out nice again' thread, I ask about Alan's Nong Khai weather reports and you move on to Alan and KP acting their age then we move on to incontinence. Nothing to do with the weather, but nice how things flow. Even the 'chipper' thread, where Hamlay really isn't chipper as he hasn't seen any £50 notes and thinks everyone depends on hire purchase agreements.

Right, off to the quiz!
