Man pours beer on woman who turns out to be boxer
A man who poured beer on a woman because she declined to have a drink with him, soon found out she was a boxer.
Twenty-four year old Pareploy Saeaia was having dinner at a food outlet when the man approached her, asking her to clink glasses with him but she refused.
About five minutes later, he came over and poured beer over her while she was eating, leading to a street fight.
Pareploy was a professional muay Thai boxer at a young age and now works as a trainer.
The man was fired from his job following the incident.

Test & Go 'cumbersome', says hotel tycoon
Thailand's Test & Go tourism programme is too "cumbersome", said local hotel tycoon Bill Heinecke, the founder and chairman of Minor International Plc.
Mr Heinecke said vaccinated and tested people must be allowed to travel without so much paperwork.
He suggested the Maldives offers a better model for tourism revival.
