transam Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 That is normal behavior on a Saturday night in most towns in the UK, why change their routine here, after all the venues here are made to make them feel at home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattayadon Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 First of all, I'm not British, but this is obviously a "Brit-bashing" at it''s best. A fight is a fight, and this could have been ANY nationalities. There are a lot of better things to look at on New Years Eve night than a simple fight in the street. Want bashing? Let's look at the Thai Police Force!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckThai Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Sounds like a lot more fun than the Khon Kaen "teetotaler" fire works .....not a beer to be found near the Central Plaza celebrations....

chrisinth Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 To be truthful, if this was the only incident that happened in Thailand, being reported by foreign media at New Year then it was indeed a very well behaved New Year all round. Regardless of whoever was throwing the punches. Over-reporting on events like this does nothing but increase sales and leads to negative comments as to why these two spat the dummies and threw their teddies out of the pram. IMO of course.

Have to say, every time I see one of these "news bulletins" it's always the Brits, always. EDIT TO ADD: I ask you, do you ever read that a bunch of Americans or Europeans were caught brawling in the bar area at midnight, I never do? Why isn't anyone talking about the Aussies?

mikosan Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I see a small punch up between 2-3 people, no nasty brawl. No evidence that 'locals' were trying to break it up, in my experience they normally exacerbate the situation anyway. No evidence that the protagonists were Brits. This is bullsh*t reporting, by a British tabloid newspaper, that I wouldn't read if it was the last newspaper on earth. One that I would have reservations even using for wrapping fish and chips in. Of course, it does give the 'Brit Bashers' some more spurious and manufactured opportunities to do exactly that. Get a life and the same to the Daily Mirror.

vogie Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 If this incident is the best they can report in Thailand, two Brits having a handbag fight in Hua Hin, I would suggest it has been a very peaceful new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't look that nasty to be honest, seen much worse, almost a nightly thing when I lived out there. :) You are right, it's not only the Brits. Unfortunately, very much so, quite a few expatriates, tourists and residents, behave in a way that they would never do at home. As far as they are concerned Thailand is a place, where they can behave as they feel like and do things they would never dare do in their home country. I am an expatriate myself and I must admit that sometimes I feel embarrassed to be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliedundee Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 This was no big brawl, i was about 50m away from the fracas watching a few street fireworks and didn't even see it. There's no glass on the road that's glitter from aerosols that many had, lots of spray string too. People may not know but there was actually a well known undercover policeman in the video who didn't see a need to get involved, maybe tha'ts no surprise. Dickheads fighting yes but no major incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
