KRABI: A badly injured American woman was trapped overnight after a 45-metre fall from a cliff when she tried to escape a man accused of trying to molest her.

The 23-year-old woman endured a night of pain, trapped between rocks near the sea with a suspected broken back, before rescuers found her on Friday morning, according to local reports.

Police say the woman's attacker tried to molest her twice, once at the top of the cliff and again after she had tumbled down onto the rocks below. The second time, she bit his ear and he fled. He then called 191 to alert authorities that a tourist needed to be rescued.
Apai Ruengvorn, 28, of Wang Wiset district in Trang, was arrested on Friday and taken on Saturday for a crime re-enactment at the site near the popular tourist area of Ao Railay.

The suspect, a hired hand at Ao Railay, had met the tourist at the bay on Thursday night and offered to accompany her to her accommodation at nearby Ao Ton Sai. To get to there, they had to walk along a ridge about 50 metres above the sea.

The suspect admitted that he became aroused and tried to molest the woman, who fled and fell about 45 metres, said Pol Lt Songpol Bunchai, a duty officer at the Ao Nang police station.

The suspect went down to the bottom of the cliff and found that the woman could not move. He tried to molest her again but she resisted and bit his ear. He then left the scene and called the 191 police hotline.

Nitipong Mongkolpradit, director of the tourist help centre in Krabi, said staff there were alerted at 11pm on Thursday. They notified officials of Hat Nopparat Thara-Mu Koh Phi Phi National Park and asked for help to find the woman. The rescuers were unable to find her that night and the search continued on Friday morning. When rescuers found the woman, she said she had no feeling in her legs.

The woman was taken to a clinic in tambon Ao Nang before being transferred to Krabi Hospital. Doctors there said she had a broken lower back and nerve damage requiring urgent surgery. They transferred her to Bangkok Hospital Phuket where surgery was performed on Friday night.

Doctors reportedly said the surgery went well but the woman still reported numbness in her legs.

Authorities notified the US Embassy, which contacted the hospital and arranged for the victim to be transferred to Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok. Her current condition is not known.

Deranged "chi-head"...Jaysus, trying to mount her when she's broken up on the rocks...

And yet, he called for help...

Pretty poor behaviour to start with, but molesting an injured and paralysed woman after an accident?

Fucking despiciable.

These young European girls are just being friendly, they don't they don't think that the dark boy thinks otherwise.

^she's not European, she's American. But yes, she's farang.

A Canadian nurse (farang) who was my bus seatmate on a 6-h trip told me her story of how she was almost harmed in Cambodia. She hired a tuktuk driver to bring her somewhere, to a site which was in the outskirts of the city. She was also being friendly, but she was harassed later on, I won't go into the details. Fortunately, she was able to escape the sticky situation unharmed.

I told her that some Asian men may have fantasies of being with a white, blonde woman & some think that white women are 'easy'. She wasn't blonde, but near it, and she was white, so I guess she fitted the bill in that driver's fantasies. We shared travel experiences & as it was her first time in.Asia, I gave her some tips. Fortunately, in my travels I haven't been harassed. The ability to look local & blend in is a plus.

No Thai woman of any intelligence or education in the metropolis would consign herself into the care of a tree swinger late at night or in a particularly vulnerable environment.

What a nightmare for the woman. I hope she makes a full recovery. And what a twat the bloke is. Unbelievable!

They caught the bloke

Wonder what his self pitying excuse will be

A bit strange.
He admitted he got horny at the top, and she fled, then fell.
Perhaps he was trying to help her and she (understandably, after what he'd tried to do at the top) thought he was trying it on again.
At least he did ring for help, or we may be reading an obituary, and there would have been no sign of rape or anyone to blame.

Well she's only a farang. He, being Thai, probably thought he'd be the one receiving sympathy, as opposed to the White woman who probably led him on by being beautiful or merely a 'mun'.

NYC teacher, 23, breaks her back after plunging off a 150ft cliff while fleeing sex attacker in Thailand who she asked for directions


A female backpacker has described the horrific moment she broke her back in a 150ft fall down a cliff while fleeing a sex attacker in Thailand.

Hannah Gavios, 23, from Bayside in New York, got lost on pitch-black Railay Beach in the resort of Krabi and went into a local tourist shop asking for help back to her hotel at a nearby bay on Thursday.

A local worker offered to show her the way but instead led her into the jungle where they started climbing up a hilly path.

Ms Gavios, who was still tired after arriving in Thailand just the day before, innocently followed him before realizing she was in danger.
'I really thought I was going to die,' she said.




'It was dark around 11pm and the only way to get back to my accommodation was by crossing the cliffs.

'I went inside a tourist shop and asked for help back to my hotel. They said it was dangerous to do at night so they told me to follow one of their workers.


'I didn't get the best feeling about him but I was tired and wanted to get home. I'd been travelling for 16 hours so I guess I wasn't feeling myself,' Ms Gavios said.
She recalled how she followed him up a trail and kept asking 'is this the right way?'.
'While we were walking he grabbed me and was holding me down and trying to take off my clothes.




'I started punching him in the face and beating him up and biting off his ear. I was biting his ear so hard it almost came off.

His ear was half torn off,' Ms Gavios said.

'He was in pain and asked me to stop, so we shook hands and he stopped but I was still nervous and he was still trying to harass me so there was no choice but to run.
'I started walking back to where I came from. Once there was distance between us I started running.'

She fled but blindly ran off the edge of a cliff edge in the darkness.

'It was pitch black and before I knew it I was in mid air falling off a cliff. I was honestly thinking I wouldn't survive,' she said.




'I hit my head a few times and landed with a big bump. I was screaming in pain. It was the most painful thing ever.

'I felt like a total vegetable. I felt completely vulnerable. I couldn't move anything.'
Ms Gavios - who has waived her anonymity - fractured her spine and smashed her head on the way down before she landed crippled at the bottom of the cliff.

To her terror her attacker - a Thai local named as Apai Ruengvorn, 28 - scrambled after her and sexually molested her as she lay helpless.

'He heard me screaming and moaning and he came down and climbed down the mountain and starting crying and praying.


'He was feeling very guilty. I was begging him to call for help. He got on the phone and started calling and I thought somebody was coming but nobody came.

'I was stuck with this crazy person. I was in the woods in the bushes with wild snakes crawling on me while he was still continuing to harass me.

'He got on top of me. He took of his pants and masturbated on me.

'He didn't rape me but he did everything else. I really thought I was going to die.
'I honestly didn't know what to do. I just had to remain calm. whenever I screamed he was choking me so I had to try to keep cool and stay friendly with him.

'As soon as it got lighter I started calling for help. He kept saying "no police no police",' Ms Gavios said.

After a couple of hours Ruengvorn left but then returned later with other people who raised the alarm and Ms Gavios was rescued and taken to hospital.

She is now being treated at Bangkok Hospital in Phuket and Ms Gavios's parents have flown from their New York home to be at her bedside.

He should be charged with attempted murder and rape, then the death sentence should be completed. Just to restore Thailands reputation.

But she's wearing a bikini.

You can't get away with wearing a bikini in Thailand.

The General said so.

fractured her spine and smashed her head on the way down before she landed crippled at the bottom of the cliff.

He heard me screaming and moaning.

He got on top of me. He took of his pants and masturbated on me.

even for a neanderthal retard those actions are quite unbelievable.

guess he had a few references taxexile.

This bloke must be desperate have a look at the beer gut on her.

Why the fuck would she wander off into the jungle with that retarded ape?
Hipster doofus thinking she was cool with the locals?

^She asked at a "tourist shop" for help. One of their employees tried to rape her..

In some other parts of the world, this wouldn't happen, you think.?

All that matters is that she was dressed to invite harassment, and he was on medication that prevented him from remembering his mobile x-ray device
After all, he didn't realise she had broken bones did he?

double postzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Well. What to say. First off, 'restore Thailand's reputation', I'm assuming sarcasm. Secondly, no one here appears to know what a 'hipster' actually looks/dresses like? We're talking hair do/clothing circa 1950. And lastly, (because this is really very tedious), 'beer gut'. Look in the mirror have-to-pay-for-it fat fuck.

It's TAT that brainwashed us into understanding the Thai way, the whole of Thailand not like lose face, velly bad for Thai people, so this vile Neanderthal should be exterminated like a Soi dog.
To touch or harm a white person should be automatic death.

I suggest you check 'hipster' on the urban dictionary site, tamsin.

For the rest of it...don't let idiot trolls get to you.
