She also obstructed responders trying to administer first aid, which led nearby locals to intervene and restrain her.

The woman further claimed to know a high-ranking officer, suggesting that police shouldn’t arrest her because of her connections.

However, once handcuffed, she began speaking to the officers in English, asking: “Why? What did I do wrong?”

She later switched back to Thai and argued that the officers had no right to take her phone because she hadn’t killed anyone.
