Thai woman’s in‑flight assault leads to Pakistani man’s three‑year jail

A Thai woman, Beaut Aornnicha, reported that a Pakistani passenger on a flydubai flight touched her buttocks and left a semen stain on her trousers while she slept with her four‑year‑old daughter. The incident occurred on a flight arriving in Bangkok, after which flight attendants and airline staff escorted the man to the authorities. Thai Tourist Police, the Immigration Bureau and Don Mueang Police investigated, and the man was arrested.

The court sentenced the Pakistani man to three years in prison, imposed a 120,000 baht fine and added him to Thailand’s blacklist, barring future entry. The victim thanked the police and urged others to stay vigilant on flights. The case has drawn public attention to in‑flight safety and the handling of sexual assault allegations.
